Mastering Programming - by Kent Beck

https://tidyfirst.substack.com/p/mastering-programming
FEBRUARY 5, 2016 · FACEBOOK This was one of those posts that I threw together, thought nothing of, & then it blew up. Until recently this was my most-read post ever. From years [decades] of watching master programmers, I have observed certain common patterns in their workflows. From years [decades] of coaching skilled journeyman programmers, I have observed the absence of those patterns. I have seen what a difference introducing the patterns can make.

Web component gotcha: constructor vs connectedCallback | Read the Tea Leaves

https://nolanlawson.com/2024/01/13/web-component-gotcha-constructor-vs-connectedcallback/
A common mistake I see in web components is this: This setupLogic() can be just about anything – subscribing to a store, setting up event listeners, etc. The teardownLogic() is designed to undo those things – unsubscribe from a store, remove event listeners, etc. The problem is that constructor is called once, when the component…

Automerge 2.2: Rich Text | Automerge CRDT

https://automerge.org/blog/2024/04/06/richtext/
We are delighted to announce the release of rich text support in Automerge, including a fully supported ProseMirror binding as the initial reference implementation. This means that you can now build collaborative applications on Automerge with realtime and asynchronous editing of rich text including inline formatting, block elements, and more.
Incredible achievement from the automerge team. Not sure on a use case yet, but this could be very useful for small simple collab sharing needs where Google Docs or Etherpad don't cut it (e.g. mobile)

Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US production

https://newatlas.com/energy/natron-sodium-ion-battery-production-startt/
Natron Energy fell a little behind schedule on production plans for its sodium batteries but officially commenced production of the rapid-charging, long-life lithium-free batteries this week, bringing to market an intriguing new storage alternative.
From wikipedia: After three decades of development, NIBs are at a critical moment of commercialization. Several companies such as HiNa and CATL in China, Faradion in the United Kingdom, Tiamat in France, Northvolt in Sweden,[5] and Natron Energy in the US, are close to achieving the commercialization of NIBs, with the aim of employing sodium layered transition metal oxides (NaxTMO2), Prussian white (a Prussian blue analogue[6]) or vanadium phosphate as cathode materials.[7] See also other types: https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2023-02-02/vanadium-redox-flow-battery-and-future-of-grid-energy-storage/101911604 https://www.wesa.fm/environment-energy/2024-02-19/weirton-form-energy-battery-manufacturing grid backup battery tech is arriving

Many yearn for the “good old days” of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

A brief history of web development. And why your framework doesn't matter.

https://gebna.gg/blog/brief-history-of-web-development
This is how I remember the crazy journey that web development has gone through in the past few years. Or rather this is *my* journey being a web developer. So I will omit events. I may mess up the timeline. This whole article may not be of any use to you. But for me, putting all the history I know into writing helped me appreciate how much things stay the same no matter how much they change.

Tire toxicity faces fresh scrutiny after salmon die-offs

https://phys.org/news/2024-05-toxicity-fresh-scrutiny-salmon-die.html
For decades, concerns about automobile pollution have focused on what comes out of the tailpipe. Now, researchers and regulators say, we need to pay more attention to toxic emissions from tires as vehicles roll down the road.
a car's tires emit 1 trillion ultrafine particles per kilometer driven—from 5 to 9 pounds of rubber per internal combustion car per year. More than three-quarters of microplastics entering the ocean come from the synthetic rubber in tires, Related is the damage done by heavier vehicles due to the fourth power law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law A 30 ton truck is about 10,000 times more damaging to the road than a 2 ton car.
