SQLite is underrated and underutilized
I released an article I wrote a month back. I didn't previously publish because, on early review, it wasn't the article people expected from me on AI (today's stream will be). But I want to get this out there as it captures my first impressions:

I love how easy it is to navigate by keyboard!
GitHub just silently cancelled all our outgoing sponsorships from @voidzero.dev - not sure what happened.
I just manually re-sponsored everyone we were sponsoring.
Granted, twice those “benefits” I mentioned were because the entire team was excited about a new tech and the stack needed to modernize from 2001 version of Cold Fusion or vanilla JS to a typescript framework
Anytime one intrigues me for my personal projects. At work, I’ve done this only rarely in my career and only because the benefits in relation to project requirements outweighed the costs of the learning curve and the maintenance of a tech non standard to the organization.
The keyboard shortcuts on npmx.dev provide the experience every site should strive for. It’s so easy to do everything I want to do without my fingers ever leaving the keyboard.
it’s important to keep caring about how things work and how they’re built
I’ve been using the plain ol’ git CLI for over a decade. Just never liked GUI tools bc of the way they change terms. Like what does it mean if I click “refresh” on a branch? Does that do a git fetch and merge? Only when it can fast-forward? Idk.
Enter LazyGit. I love it.

I don’t know what I would do without tmux
🆕 npx unbarrelify
At last, an easy way get rid of barrel files!
Rewrites consumers to import directly from source, then deletes the barrels.

Lowest setting. CSS powered flamethrower!
Yes, it is really controlled by CSS. I can add MIDI inputs. Then use CSS to trigger animations and output the result to DMX for controlling the flamethrower.
Photos of the attendees and speakers at ng-conf 2025
Another fantastic #ngconf in the books!! Thanks to the Amazing #Angular community who makes it feel like a giant family reunion. And thanks to the top-notch speakers who filled our brains and emcees 💜 @alyssanicoll.bsky.social & @mhartington.io Hartington who kept us laughing! See you next time!
No, that’s true. My point is that solar’s economics isn’t the only topic worth discussing. Areal density doesn’t seem to meaningfully impact the economics, but land use, waste, and habitat destruction are central issues that even IRENA anticipates and reports on.
That’s true but cost per kWh is not the only issue. It takes acres and acres of solar panels to produce relatively little energy in terms of the average demand per household. That model simply doesn’t scale. Only efficiency improvements can mitigate that.
Hence, why I named efficiency as the main issue.
With greater efficiency, fewer units can be used to yield the same output which drives down the cost per kWh.
So what? You literally said it was the amount that matters and I responded accordingly. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, energy-related CO₂ emissions have steadily decreased since 2007. There was a slight regression in 2019-2022, but trending downward again since then.
Re-read what you wrote, but slowly. Cost per kWh can’t be important while efficiency is irrelevant. Greater efficiency is what improves cost per kWh and that’s why the bulk of the research is going into improving efficiency of conversion and production.
You might be interested to know that China burned 3x more coal per capita in 2024 than the U.S. did.
4.6 billion tons of coal with a population of 1.409 billion = 3.265 tons per person
372.3 million tons of coal with a population of 340.1 million = 1.095 tons per person
That’s fair. China consumed appr. 55% of the global thermal coal (amounting to 4.6 billion tons). The U.S. consumed 372.3 million tons (which was a decrease from 2023). In other words, China burned 12 times more coal in 2024 than the U.S. did.
China has also brought about 300 more coal power stations online since 2023 and has a total of 1195 as of July of 2025. The US has 200.
China is simply creating as much energy as possible by any means necessary in an attempt to meet their growing energy demand.
China produces the most greenhouse gases, primarily due to its reliance on coal and other fossil fuels. While US is in second place, China has a lot of work to do to reduce their emissions as much as the US has. China isn’t leading the way, it’s trailing but making considerable strides.
At this point, without significant technological advancement, nuclear fusion appears the only viable way to meet the rapidly growing energy demand throughout most of the US. Modern advancements have made it a very clean, renewable energy source.
There is potential. I’ve been following photovoltaics for 20 years. Even made a rudimentary (and VERY inefficient) photovoltaic cell just for fun. The issue is that even the best are still relatively inefficient. Wiping out forests I used to explore for acres of solar panels feels dystopian
