Never continues to amaze me how I manage to find corner cases of major projects a decade plus into their existence 😭 Today: serving static assets of a Next.js app from an external CDN and instantiating a Web Worker straight up doesn't work. v16.1 it mangles the URL, v16.2 it's a SecurityError. Fml

@tkdodo.eu related to your work here bsky.app/profile/tkdo... I recently wanted to initiate a fetch in a parent component but then suspend in a child component. Instead of usePrefetchQuery + useSuspenseQuery I came up with this. Child component calls `use` with returned promise. Clever or stupid?

@juri.dev is there some way to search the logs for an @nx.dev continuous task, aside from copy and pasting the entire TUI output into a separate file and searching? Or, is there a way to tail the output for a task(s) to a file? There's the MCP server, but is there a simpler way to see/query logs?

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

@juri.dev I'm curious, with the TS Go future how has that changed the @nx.dev team's thinking for TS monorepo setups? You think package manager + references setup is still the best default, or single project + path aliases and adopt references as needed?

@juri.dev another question when using the new @nx.dev TS setup. I have Node.js apps built using the esbuild executor, using the generatePackageJson option to install only that app's deps in prod. With the new setup there's an error about that option being unsupported 🫤 What's a viable alternative?

I'm surprised this bug made it past the betas, I just upgraded my MBP and Vision Pro to the latest and it's still here. The Vision Pro is listed twice in the Screen Mirroring menu, and hovering one of them shows the hover effect on both of them 🤔

After wearing the Annapro 2 strap daily for a few weeks I take it back. It's more comfortable for the first 5-10 minutes, but then I find it very uncomfortable. The pressure on top of my head becomes much more painful than the pressure on my face when using just the solo knit strap.

Man, the Annapro 2 #VisionPro Kickstarter delivery's really gone haywire. They haven't posted an update in almost a month, I haven't received it, and they're accidentally sending v1 instead of v2?? And to rub salt in the wound you can now purchase it on Amazon and get it delivered in two days 😑

The last misadventure in getting this over the finish line: On Quest, if you use the microphone without first requesting permission it will ask the user for permission, but will then be in such a horribly broken state that you can't even pull up the system menu or the device restart menu 🫠

The update fairy came and graced me with v71 last night 🧚 I built out with glee just to discover that the cursor now didn't appear at all. But the ray was being cast! I could see the UI hover effects. Then I rebuilt again to add some logs... and the cursor appeared. Whatever, I'll take it! 🤡🚀

Turns out this is a bug between Horizon OS v69 and v71. We tested on our Quest Pro on v69 and our input is borked. Upgraded it to v71 and the input is fine. And there's still no way to update the 3S to v71. 😪 #MetaQuest #LifeIsBugs
