A week ago, @jasnell and I had a 2-hour long podcast with the crew at @JSPartyFM to discuss at length the state of the @nodejs project.... and why the reports of its death are greatly exaggerated. buff.ly/45aNfHr

Hey Node.js folks! I made another gift for you! Ever wish you could free() a Buffer, because you know you're not gonna use it again? The extra perf would be huge, right? Well you can! I've wrapped up the easiest way of doing it in an npm module. Enjoy! npmjs.com/package/array-buff…

Feels like I'm pretty close to wrapping up the first iteration of built-in FFI in Node.js. By far the biggest difficulty is the multitude of systems that Node.js supports.

in the max/msp community posting example patches is the norm when people are helping each other out. chatgpt has picked up on this (probably by having the cycling74 forums scraped), and generates garbage base64 every time. in every prompt you need to ask it not to do this.

Was privileged to make this with Moog and Yuri Suzuki
Replying to @moogmusicinc
Drawing inspiration from ‘90s video games and websites, we had the privilege of collaborating with @yurisuzuki and the teams at @pentagram and @ctpt_studio, along with illustrator Rob Pybus, to bring this vision to life. Head over to minimoogmodeld.com to explore!

Hey there folks. My son is looking for an entry-level job in web dev, software dev, cyber security, data science, or similar. He doesn't have a tonne of exp., but he is willing to learn and has a good heart + tonnes of enthusiasm. Does anyone need a junior/apprentice?

love that I can use chatgpt like this. I really don't want to have to store this kind of bullshit in my brain.

Fun facts behind the scenes: ChatGPT helped write a cost dashboard a few weeks ago to help control this feature so it could be rolled out in public. It even did some database migration code. All of these still had to be vetted by humans (your job is safe).
✨ HUGE NEWS! ✨ 🤖 Introducing Socket AI – ChatGPT-Powered Threat Analysis @SocketSecurity is using ChatGPT to examine every npm and PyPI package for security issues! 🤯 In just 2 days, we confirmed 227 vulnerable and malware packages, all discovered with the help of ChatGPT
