Don't change me#
  • Nobody wants to be told how to think. I think the best thing is to be friends with everyone you can. And maybe don't make a big issue about who people voted for, and relate as people and Americans. That's something to put in the bank.#
  • Also if you let people relax around you, you may find out that someone you trust and like is actually antisemitic or racist. That's also something to put in the bank, this is not someone I want to trust if and when things get worse.#
  • Things are changing radically now. so you may not have to do anything to wake anyone up. And it's good to reflect on your own attitudes and whether or not some of the things they say about you are fair criticism. We all put up barriers, and those don't ever serve us imho, esp in a democracy -- but they are esp nasty now.#
OK Knicks#
  • The Knicks are on an epic losing streak. This feels very normal. Let the trades begin. Maybe if we ask nice, Thibs will return? And isn't it funny these days KAT makes Randle look pretty good. Sort of a bonus for the Minneapolis team, which is playing NBA in a war zone. #
  • Time for Knicks fans to get out the paper bags.#
  • Above is a picture from the 2015 Knicks, a team that was actually even suckier than the 2026 Knicks (at this moment). The guy in the lower right of that picture has the canonical look of a Knicks fan wondering how did this happen and when it will all end. The only revenge I get from the Knicks suckage is that most Yankees fans are also Knicks fans and they have sooo much more trouble coping with this than Mets fans. Heh. It's actually almost worth it when you meet one. ;-) #
  • A possible theory is that the Knicks won that in-season championship that no one really understands. It could be that winning turns out to be a curse, in which case having the Knicks suck now is worth it. Then every NBA team every year will try to lose that series, for fear of what happened to the Knicks happening to them. Sports fans in case you didn't know tend to be mystics, we suffer through the mysteries of existence to explain things. #

Learn to write insanely good composables in Vue

图片
If you're using Vue 3, you're probably using composables. But other than using VueUse where you can, how do you get the most out of them? Over the past few years I've been slowly putting together a list of patterns and best practices for how to write composables in the best way. ​ I've spent hours reading the source code of VueUse (one of the best — but most time-consuming — ways to learn it). ​ I've read articles, listened to talks, and written lots and lots of my own code. I ended up with 15 different patterns, and each one will help you to write better composables. ​ I've condensed and put all of these composables together into a course — Composable Design Patterns. ​ Get Composable Design Patterns now. ​ Because this is the launch, it's on sale for 35% off until Thursday. For each of the 15 patterns in this course, you'll get: A concise overview that tells you when and how to use it, along with variations and edge cases ...

It's here! Learn to write better composables in Vue with my latest course. You can now grab Composable Design Patterns for 35% off during the launch . ​ Check it out here . Composable Design Patterns is a collection of patterns to help you write better composables in Vue. The format is very similar to Clean Components Toolkit: Pattern overview — an in-depth explanation of the pattern, including edge cases, variations, and common pitfalls. Real-world example — an example using the pattern that goes beyond toy demos that don't really show you much. Step-by-step refactoring — see how to use this pattern by following a refactoring example worked out for you. The first three patterns are borrowed from Clean Components Toolkit, but the rest are completely brand-new, and exclusive to this course. ​ (the last two patterns will be finished next week). Here's the link again if you'd like to know more: ​ Composable Design Patterns in Vue ​ ...
