Congratulations to Fabric API for being the first ever Modrinth project to reach more than 100 million downloads!

a core cultural thing at openai is “ship fast, ship early”. and that’s why we have the chat completions API

i mean, they were the first to put LLMs behind an API and that was brilliant. but the API itself blows chunks and we should all stop using it

🕵️‍♂️ Revealed: React's experimental animations API.

Yes, React is getting its first native animations component. Discover in my new post, with live demos, copy/pasteable code, and a full examples minisite.

🔗 Read all about it: motion.dev/blog/reacts-...
Revealed: React's experimental animations API - Motion Blog
React is experimenting with a new animation API based on the View Transition API. How does it work? What can it do? We reveal all in this blog post.

understated but both of these are kinda huge. ViewTransition is the first ever (!) first-class animation API in React. (it's powered by the browser API but is composable in a very Reacty way.)

and Fragment refs solve "merge refs" soup. you can now have natural apis like <IntersectionObserver> etc
React 19.3 is now available!

This release makes View Transitions and Fragment Refs stable, and adds browser(), Trusted Types support, and Context in Server Components.

I spend 1.5 years doing this. Full rewrite last summer and another partial rewrite last month. As Hemingway said: "First draft of everything is always shit".

How about having fun with an AWS Russian Roulette using one of the most expensive AWS API calls?

(About $36K per year for this AWS Shield API)

You go first.

Notably, for the first time in... well, ever, we ran through the night without a single API hiccup or provider issue.

HUGE shoutouts to the VRChat devops, API, and other foundational teams that made that possible! you are miracle workers of which scotty would be proud

most tech companies make an app first and then halfheartedly add an api later on. bluesky made their api first and halfheartedly (jk paul) added an app later on

Interested in building local-first but don’t want to lose your current stack?

Here’s how you can build local-first with your existing API:

We just used DOGE’s API to access their Wall of Receipts. The very first line item we randomly checked revealed a claim inflated by $781m (not to mention the program they cut was for polio immunizations).

Oh I missed the dates here. He posted this earlier. Sure looks like they're gonna use priority processing as a means of pushing higher pricing on their API users "due to GPU constraints"

what happened is that a dummy account i use for API logins (sites that only let you log in with a discord account) was compromised. it messaged my personal account first and then got in through there.
