I saw someone complain about issues and comments from a user nuked from GitHub being deleted, and fwiw data fragility is exactly why I don't like Tangled (in addition to the hilariously bad `op` lexicon) Tangled ironically has a fitting name for a tangled mess of poorly portable data

Say what you will about Windows (OS), but the NT kernel really is an engineering marvel that still puts Linux to shame in many ways. The quickest way to describe it for a programmer, is NT was more like an object-oriented language, with a strong security model from day one, whereas Linux is…not.

Interestingly, as of a few days there's been an ecosystem-wide collapse in download counts, **all** following the exact same cliff pattern. 👀

Package download comparison line chart for: vite, react, tailwindcss. The Y axis represents the number of downloads. The X axis represents the date range, from 2025-10-01 to 2026-09-23, with a weekly time period. vite starts at 36.3m and ends at 98.7m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 2.8m downloads per time interval, react starts at 45.7m and ends at 100.8m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 2.5m downloads per time interval, tailwindcss starts at 23.9m and ends at 73m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 2.1m downloads per time interval. At the bottom, a watermark reads "./npmx a fast, modern browser for the npm registry".

Package download comparison line chart for: vue, nuxt, svelte, astro, smol-toml. The Y axis represents the number of downloads. The X axis represents the date range, from 2025-10-01 to 2026-09-23, with a weekly time period. vue starts at 7.5m and ends at 9m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 144k downloads per time interval, nuxt starts at 997.8k and ends at 1.2m, showing a weak trend with a slope of 15.7k downloads per time interval, svelte starts at 2.1m and ends at 3.2m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 71.6k downloads per time interval, astro starts at 817.9k and ends at 3.2m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 82.2k downloads per time interval, smol-toml starts at 4.9m and ends at 18.1m, showing a strong trend with a slope of 504k downloads per time interval. At the bottom, a watermark reads "./npmx a fast, modern browser for the npm registry".

Per-package download counts chart from the previous two charts.

🚀 next version of smol-toml will get a 50% speedup, making it comfortably 1.5-1.7x faster than the 2nd fastest (which is a non-compliant parser cutting a lot of corners), 6.5x faster than Deno's std/toml, and 10x faster than the recently revived `toml` package on npm 👀

Excellent bit

Given all the low-quality LLM-generated projects flooding r/commandline, it's valuable to know that POSIX provides a tool to review and modify code generated by LLMs, so I thought I'd bring this tool to the attention of this subreddit's members. In typical Unix fashion, the POSIX folks shortened "reviewing & modifying" to just two letters:

$ rm code.rs

It even has command-line options to recursively fix whole project-directories of LLM-generated code:

$ rm -rf project/

Handle it wisely, and I hope to see more use of it around here!

On the right is a pane of CSS code. On the left is a pane of TypeScript code that imports the CSS as a module. The hover info of the imported CSS class shows the CSS block. There’s also an unknown class name, which has a red squiggly underline.

Call me naïve, but I think the Web should be making it *easier* to create accessible UIs than inaccessible ones. Instead, once you go beyond the basic primitives, the platform is a minefield: the obvious thing to do is rarely accessible, and devs must jump through hoops to make it so.
