Ugh! Wrestling with dates and timezones again. How do you store date values from users in a DB? HTML date input sends values as YYYY-MM-DD. This does not include timezones and is not ISO format. When converted to a Date object, it defaults to GMT, which means the user sees the wrong date

Regulators can take many lessons from the Grok/Twitter undressing scandal, but one of the most important is that Apple and Google are gaslighting when they claim store monopolies are necessary to protect us. Nothing could be further from the truth: infrequently.org/2026/01/nake...

@vivaldi.com the CTRL+TAB shortcut focuses browser tabs in some sort of random order I can't make sense of. Other browsers go left to right (or right to left with SHIFT). Is there a reason? Is this a bug? Am I an idiot? OS: Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

The design decision by @svelte.dev Kit to provide tools for early termination of route execution by calling `error()` or `redirect()` is awesome! That any code does not continue to execute after these functions are called makes it much more idiomatic and safe to write route handlers I <3 Svelte :)

export const load = async (event) => {
if (!event.locals.user) {
redirect('/')
}

return `Howdy, ${user.name}!`
}

Anyone have deep experience and strong opinions on valibot vs arktype? Seems like arktype doesn't strip object keys that are not defined in the schema, but are present in the input. I like that valibot does that for me.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud
