Thursday, January 30, 2025 Good oligarchs and bad oligarchs. We need to help the good ones have the guts to get on the air, with really good creative advertising, telling the people exactly what's being done to them now, without pulling any punches. They have to be warned and they aren't. You have to be paying a lot of attention to understand. And it's hard to know what to believe. We have to have a voice in this, now. # I bet on myself at 22 # Andrew Hickey wrote something I wholeheartedly agree with. "If you think the day job might literally kill you, and you have no kids, quit and try that mad idea. That might also kill you, but better to die trying something wonderful than be killed by a crappy job." # My response : "My life story since I was 22, and I'm 69 now. It's worked out okay, not perfect, I have regrets, but I would have far more if I hadn't bet on myself. My 22-year-old self was very right about a lot...

Wednesday, January 29, 2025 There should be ads on tv tonight saying they're coming for the abortion pill. Spell it out clearly so the voters can hear it as it happened. Otherwise they will rightly blame the Dems for not telling them what was going on. It's not too late Dems. # Molly White has an excellent OPML subscription list . I want to make something with this, maybe a Bluesky feed reader ? I want to show people they can combine skills to make new media. We don't have to wait for big companies to do it for us. We can work together. That's how we rise to the challenges we share. We can flip this bad situation around, turning problems into opportunity. Big changes happen now. We can steer in the direction we want to go. # We're programmed to believe big companies make things the right way and individual people can't be trusted. We're going to have to break out of that rut, to stop trusting them so much. It's like the 2008 banking ...

Read this on my blog In only a few hours I'll be giving a talk on composable design patterns at Vue.js Nation! Go get your free ticket here . Tomorrow, Alex Lichter and I will be hosting a panel on AI and Vue development as well — you won't want to miss that one (you'll be able to ask questions live). I also recorded a video on how I use AI to quickly learn new libraries . And I'm steadily working on updating Mastering Nuxt 3 — this will be a free update to everyone who already bought it (and there's currently a 30% off sale going on ). This is some of what I've done so far: Upgraded everything to Nuxt 4 (super easy, thanks to the Nuxt team) Refactored to use layers Using NuxtImg for images (it was in beta when MN3 was published) Simplifying (and improving) Supabase auth usage with some new features Simplified Prisma types with the GetPayload utility type What kinds of things would you like to see in the updated...

Tuesday, January 28, 2025 Podcast : The Repubs are trying to kill you. # If our political system worked we'd have wonderful heart-grabbing ads on TV about all the people who have meaningful jobs thanks to DEI. It wouldn't be hard to make the Repubs look like Scrooges. Get people riled up. Another ad, about the people Trump pardoned and what they're doing now. Wait till one of them commits a major crime and run Willie Horton style ads. Make it understood who these people actually are. Trump has to own each and every one of them. This really isn't hard. But the Dems think campaigns end. They don't end. # Another ad. Donald Trump on Mt Rushmore. Donald Trump on the $20 bill. The Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial renamed Trump. Kennedy airport in NYC renamed Trump International. In the future the US will have only one founding father: Donald J. Trump. # I thought this excerpt from Krugman's piece about his move back to blogging was righ...

Monday, January 27, 2025 Rivers on Bluesky # This is a post for longtime Scripting News readers. As you know, I've been doing feed readers for a long time. They've been mostly organized around the river of news concept, which also happens to be the way twitter-like systems work. My rivers are built around RSS and formats that interop with RSS. # Then I got one of the ideas out of the blue that at first didn't make sense, but then the more I thought about the better the idea seemed. It came from Mark Cuban , who liked one of my posts on Bluesky, it was about some FeedLand rivers I had produced, and then I did what I often do -- I offered to do something like that for him. For obvious reasons I don't need to go into here, you all are smart or you wouldn't be reading this. :-) # Anyway -- he said "I'd use that if it were on Bluesky." # My first thought, ridiculous -- can't be done. They have all these limits th...
