I was recently investigating gumroad and was quite pleased with their new design system . I liked how all their features were summed up as simple taglines (“Go from zero to $1”, as an example), and how the vibrant color pallet drew me between each explanitory diagram. At the time, I googled “Gumroad design scheme” and came up empty with a name for it. However, weeks later, I noticed Figma did a similar design for their own website. T..

Many people are worried about Amazon Web Services and especially Cloudflare centralizing the Web. I generally share their concerns, with one exception. Hot take: it’s fine to use a “Big Tech” provider as a name server, provided you can handle the 24-hour delay involved in a migration. Of all things, using a name server doesn’t have nearly the same the drawbacks as other types of centralization. It’s super easy to migrate, and DNSSEC kee..

Something I learned today from a coworker: if you turn your monitor sideways, subpixel anti-aliasing gets completely broken. This isn’t as much of an issue on today’s high-dpi displays, but for anything lower than a 4k screen, the effect can be noticeable. Just a little interesting thing I learned today. Thanks to my good, knowledgeable friend and coworker Jonner Steck! Also, while we’re on the topic of font rendering, I’ve updated I..

Web development fuzzes browsers and developer tools with the side-effect of occasionally producing decent Web content. My site has broken enough things to give me plenty of bugs to file, or cause others to file on my behalf. Despite all the fuss I make about maintaining compatibility, I do make exceptions for simple fixable bugs and broken developer tools. My strict Content Security Policy (CSP) has broken various developer tools (Axe, ....

Imagine you are editing your Squarespace website on your desktop browser and you want to add great photos that make your site stand out. At that moment, you realize those great photos are actually on your phone. Wouldn’t it be great if you could cut out all the intermediate steps and directly access your phone’s photo library right from the desktop browser into your Squarespace website?

While I’ve been switching from Ansible to Nix lately, I still use Ansible and have written a fair share of Ansible YAML. A common trick I’ve used is to only run a specific Ansible role instead of the whole playbook. That can be achieved by using tags, but usually I haven’t tagged everything before I have the need.

In this post, I want to share some reasons why using SQLite turns into a pretty convenient developer experience. This is a “live” post that may be updated in the future with more contents. Moving and sharing data, backups Sharing SQLite data is straightforward, just rsync the file to a new VM or upload it to any file storage service. When you want to share data from other databases, it usually requires generating an SQL dump of the data..

A dramatic encounter between a sales prospect and an account executive at a major product analytics SaaS company. Credit: katiebcartoons.com Instead of paying Mixpanel over $2K/month for retention reporting functionality in 2012 Amir Salihefendic (founder of Doist, makers of Todoist) built a clever hack to get the functionality he needed. He estimates Doist has saved millions on product analytics tools through 2022 yet has run interactive r..

There’s always the possibility of including SerenityOS data in the MDN BCD tables, but not displaying it on MDN just yet. This could give other projects a chance to use these tables for their own purposes. I think a lack of information on feature compatibility is one of the things holding back website compatibility with non-mainstream engines. Non-mainstream engines are in a bit of a “catch-22” situation: enthusiast developers don’t sup....

This post evaluates the finite-sample Gaussian efficiency of the Rousseeuw–Croux $S_n$ and $Q_n$ estimators. Pragmastat recommends Spread — based on the Shamos estimator — as a robust scale estimator with a 29% breakdown point and strong finite-sample performance. Confidence intervals are available via SpreadBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat The Rousseeuw-Croux $S_n$ and $Q_n$ estimators are robust ....

Today I had to look into the a customer whose RavenDB instance was burning through a lot of I/O. The process is somewhat ingrained in me by this point, but I thought that it would make for a good blog post so I’ll recall that next time. Here is what this looks like from the point of view of the disk: We are seeing a lot of reads in terms of MB/sec and a lot of write operations (but far less in terms of bandwidth). That is the exte....
