Friday, February 14, 2025 Podcast : Dems must campaign 365 days every year. # Anne Applebaum writing in the Atlantic says that people in the US feel like we're living in an occupied country. I get it. That's what it feels like to be in a Silicon Valley company that has been acquired by another Silicon Valley company, a subject I wrote about on Wednesday. I wish there was some way for us to communicate with each other about this, because I'm sure my description comes closer to the way Musk sees it, though they are very similar ideas. One of the defects of the social web is that we live in little bubbles and not much information is exchanged over bubble boundaries. So if anyone knows Applebaum, please send her a link to this post. Thanks. # More than death panels # Musk will defund Medicare. # More than death panels . # Say goodbye to everyone who needs health care # Because almost no one can afford it without coverage. # That...

Thursday, February 13, 2025 Here's a two-minute demo of my new writing tool for Bluesky. This is quite a bit simpler than the last version, you log on directly to Bluesky, doesn't go through my server at all. This removes a whole layer of complexity for the user, and means a lot of people can use it without it having to scale up. Also made it simpler, more of a writing tool, closer to where I'd like this stuff to be when we have across-the-board textcasting support. Really focused on the flow for writers. # Here's the thread that's created in the demo. # If the US were a company, what would its market capitalization be? # If you're getting bummed about the news, remember tonight there's another new episode of Severance to kvell about. # Re-did the social media links at the bottom of each story page. Screen shot . Used to be just RSS and Linkedin. I got rid of Linkedin because I never use it. Added Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads. Debated...

Wednesday, February 12, 2025 The United States is not a Silicon Valley company # I've had an experience few people have had, and it's relevant to the way all of us feel right now. The experience: Being part of a Silicon Valley company that was acquired by another Silicon Valley company. I was the CEO. # I recognize the feeling, because Musk is acting as if he is the acquirer of a Silicon Valley company, and the company he has acquired in the USA. Or so he thinks. But the United States is not a Silicon Valley company where, you have departments and managers at every level, and each level must follow orders from the level above them. It doesn't work that way here. Deliberately. Very deliberately. # There never has been a Silicon Valley company that gives each employee the rights and responsibilities of an American citizen. We don't take orders except in very exceptional circumstances, and then with all the rights guaranteed by the Consti...

🔥 (#204) Forcing a component to update, dynamic returns, and more

Read this on my blog Hey all! This weeks podcast episode was fun, because I was interviewed by my friend Alex Lichter (next week's episode is the other way around). I've also been working hard on the big update for Mastering Nuxt! I've been sharing some updates on my social media, so you can follow along there if you'd like. — Michael 🔥 Forcing a Component to Update What do you do if a component isn't updating the way it should? Likely, this is caused by a misunderstanding and misuse of the reactivity system. But let's look at a quick solution using forceUpdate : import { getCurrentInstance } from 'vue' ; const methodThatForcesUpdate = () => { // ... const instance = getCurrentInstance (); instance . proxy . forceUpdate (); // ... }; This getCurrentInstance is actually an undocumented part of Vue (it was removed from the docs) and is not recommended — the better solution i...

Tuesday, February 11, 2025 A note to users of feedland.org and feedland.com. We'll be turning the servers off sometime before the end of March. I haven't chosen the actual date yet. In the meantime, Please download a copy of your subscription list before the shutdown, it's incredibly easy. You can also run your own FeedLand. I started a thread on the support site if you have questions, remember the comment guidelines . I've learned a lot from the experience of running FeedLand this way, looking forward to trying some other configurations. 😄 # If you depend on not considering the unthinkable in 2025 then you aren't really thinking. # If only political reporters had the same knowledge of their subject as sports reporters do. # Trump and Trudeau chat # First, the New Republic is beginning to think like Musk and Trump. But they have to think a bit more and ask how does this all tie together? # Remember you have to consider even...
