This developer ran a Pong game across 240 browser tabs by using favicons as pixels. Inspired by a favicon-based Flappy Bird, they used AppleScript to create a grid of tabs and solved challenges like favicon update throttling with web workers and tab synchronization using broadcast channels. Careful measurements were needed to align the canvas with the tab bar, which allowed the Pong game to smoothly transition between the main canvas and the tab bar.
LLMs speed up the process of making beautiful, interactive website backgrounds using React and Tailwind CSS. Some examples are shown using gridlines, dotted patterns, and animated stars, all generated using a few LLM prompts. It also helps that many LLMs are tuned to produce React and Tailwind CSS code.
Bundling dependencies can help with compatibility, reducing bloat, and making distribution simpler. However, it can hide dependency issues, prevent updates, and remove the deduplication benefits that npm provides. Generally, bundling makes sense for developer tools, but should be avoided for libraries unless absolutely necessary.
There's a tension between writing elegant, reusable code and building quick, pragmatic solutions for users. Flamework, a pseudo-framework from Flickr, is an example of prioritizing speed and scale over code beauty, where "doing the dumbest possible thing that will work" can be great for product iteration. Reusability is more necessary for libraries and frameworks than applications.
Append-only programming is where code is appended to a single file, and existing code is never edited. It's not practical for the real world, but it can help enforce better coding practices, like small functions, thinking about what code to write before committing it, and writing more readable code.
The new granular caching system in Next.js with the "use cache" directive at the file, component, and function levels makes Next.js more pleasant to use. It's an improvement on the developer experience and the end user's experience.
React Native 0.78 has been released, with React 19 integration and various improvements.

According to data from Indeed, software developer job postings have declined a lot, reaching levels similar to those seen during the mid-2020 pandemic period, and are down 35% since January 2020. While the US accounting change Section 174 may have a small impact, the trend is global. Potential reasons for the drop include increased productivity through GenAI tools, a correction after the over-hiring boom during the pandemic, and smaller, more efficient teams.

2025.02.20·9to5mac.com·4 min read·TLDR Microsoft's first quantum computing chip, Majorana 1, is the result of nearly two decades of research in the field. Microsoft claims that building the chip required the creation of an entirely new state of matter called the topological state. Microsoft manufactured all the parts for the chip in the US, which was possible because of the small scale of the project. Quantum computing may end up being used to boost Microsoft's other businesses rather than just being a stand-alone category.
Progress in understanding migraines has started to advance beyond focusing on just headaches. Researchers are now developing measures for the cognitive symptoms of migraines. Measuring cognitive symptoms is particularly important to show whether treatments are effective or not. Previous treatment studies focused on headache severity, light sensitivity, and nausea, but little else - cognitive symptoms are commonly felt in between migraine attacks as well. It may require a serious rethink about the causes of migraines in order to make it possible to treat all the complexities of the condition.
2025.02.20·nature.com·10 min read·TLDR Researchers have created a new algorithm that addresses the library sorting problem: a challenge to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted order that minimizes how long it takes to place a new book on the shelf. The problem applies to the arrangement of files on hard drives and in databases. An inefficient system means significant wait times and major computational expense. The new algorithm is very close to the theoretical ideal.
