Exactly ten years ago, I gave a talk at the SF JavaScript meetup titled 5 Kung Fu Moves for Front-End Heroes . A full decade later, I found myself wondering: are these techniques still the secret sauce for modern front-end engineering, or have they been rendered obsolete by time?

I’ve been working on transitioning this site over to a static generator and I’ve also been working on a new site design. What I decided to do is sort of a cross between the two: my current site will be converted into a static version of what stands today, design and all. It’ll be an archive of what was essentially the “tips, tricks, and bookmarks on web development” that the site was for much of its existence. I’ve created that static ver....

Weird fact about me: I’m cross-dominant (also known as being mixed-handed). Instead of having a dominant hand I use everything with, my hands are… Awkward. There are some tasks which my left hand excels at, and some tasks which my right hand excels at. And I can’t know until I try it. Oh so you’re ambidextrous? This is the question I’m asked every time I bring it up, but no. Ambidextrous people have (mostly) equal ability with both ha....

Linux on PlayStation 5. The ps5-linux project enables the installation of a Linux distribution on the original PlayStation 5 (the physically larger model). The installation isn’t easy. On the other hand, since it isn’t persistent (you need to run the exploit on every reboot), there’s no risk of “bricking” the console. OpenClaw suffers from waves […]

Many of the initial wave of “AI writing detectors” were quite bad. The biggest issue you need to be concerned about with an AI writing detector is false positives. If you are a professor and want to check students’ writing, it is very bad to falsely accuse a student. The Pangram product, though, is quite […]

When I pitch people on far-UVC they often ask about in-duct UV. How about putting UV inside your HVAC ducts, where you can safely blast the air with cheap toxic wavelengths. Unfortunately, it's rarely a good approach. The biggest issue is that most people don't have ducts. They're common in the US, though less so in older construction (radiators) or newer (mini-splits). Outside the US (and Canada, and Australia), however, ducted s....

The past couple of weeks, I've been working with an ESP32 chip. I'm making experiments at this moment: my goal is to find out if these chips are good enough now. Many years ago I started with ESP8266 chips and they were clearly not: they were so resource-limited that they could not do TLS (and by extension, HTTPS). Any interesting use-case requires a server reachable over the internet, the lack of secure communication disqualified that chip....

OpenAI has rolled out two updates that on the surface seem like two separate things, but actually share a common thread. GPT-5.5 makes a big jump in terms of reasoning, coding and tool use, while GPT Image 2 focuses on image generation and editing. At first glance, it’s not the individual new features that stand […] The post GPT-5.5 and GPT Image 2: What Actually Changed appeared first on RisingStack Engineering .
