Fun times tonight... it turns out there's a bug in some WebKit indexedDB backend stuff that can corrupt database indexes when upgrading from iOS 13 to iOS 14. There's no way to prevent this from happening, and it's unrecoverable once it happens, and of course it's breaking my app ๐

It is interesting watching Microsoft's vcpkg project basically turn into npm-for-C++. Now with vcpkg.json manifest files and the per-project dependency storage equivalent of node_modules.
Seriously though, vcpkg is great, and these JSON manifests will make it much easier to get a C++ project up and running after cloning a repo.
My desktop computer locked up while I was doing system updates and I had to reboot and now it has no kernel to load and I need to boot from a LiveCD to fix it, but my laptop doesn't have a disk drive to burn a LiveCD and I have no USB keys so I have to go buy one and hope I can get EFI to boot from it and this is really not how I imagined my weekend starting ๐
Some random personal #SkyTrain stats
Since 2015-02-15, I've logged 3572 rides on SkyTrain vehicles.
As of today, I've ridden all 150 of the Mark I vehicles, all 260 of the first-gen and 348 of the second-gen Mark II vehicles, and 31/60 of the Mark III vehicles.
My most frequent ride is apparently 213, followed by 233 (which is my favourite first-gen Mark II train because of the LED headlights).

โWhy I have a problem with React the library and spend a lot of time talking to my therapistโ
This feels broadly correct. React has not been a good influence over the web. And that's even before you take into account that it exists to support Facebook's development and recruitment.
HTML spec is optimistic as ever.
