Google is proposing a new standard called WebBundles. This standard allows websites to “bundle” resources together, and will make it impossible for browsers to reason about sub-resources by URL. While we appreciate the problems the WebBundles and related proposals aim to solve, we believe there are other, better ways of achieving the same ends without compromising the open, transparent, user-first nature of the Web.

Culture has been described as the widening of the mind and spirit. Thoughtworkers resonate well with this belief because ‘pushing the boundary’ is our way of life. A way of life that draws from what’s critical to us, to our company and having a purpose beyond making money.

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identifies financial inclusion as a key driver of a country’s economic growth. Add to this, the World Bank’s confirmation that financial inclusion helps sustain stable economies because it ensures individuals and businesses access to useful and affordable financial products and services. These offerings could be in the form of transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance that..

COVID-19 has challenged conventional ways of working for individuals and teams around the globe. Organizations have swiftly and successfully embraced remote work with very little preparation. For instance, until early this year, nearly everyone on my team worked from the office. Working from home was an available but infrequently leveraged choice. The lockdown changed all that. People travelled to their home towns in remote locations, pref..

In a recent one-on-one with my boss he mentioned that, as a director, one of my core duties involves systems architecture. I was thrown for a loop a bit because while I’m happy to stay technical I didn’t think this was what many directors do. Yes, you need enough of an understanding of the systems you build to defend them in presentations with senior leadership or to help guide your teams to victory but I didn’t think it would involve thing..

Transportation is very important to me. My whole life I’ve never owned a car. I have gotten by with biking, public transit, and various car sharing services. Sadly, biking is incredibly dangerous and stressful, because most cars don’t respect bicycles, and in the winter it’s not very practical, the STM (public transit) offers an incredibly unreliable and unpleasant service, and Car2Go (car sharing) now requires that you use their propri..

How would one write a code editor in JavaScript? A long time ago one would take a regular textarea to handle user input and would create another div that would do syntax highlighting etc. However, this approach quickly becomes unusable when someone opens it on mobile. That’s why CodeMirror has been rewritten to use contenteditable and many other editors followed this approach. contenteditable Contenteditable, as the name suggests, allows us..

Computer architecture can be considered a boring topic, one that is studied during CS education, then put aside, and leaves place to the shiny new toys that capture the attention. I've recently revisited it, and I'd like to summarize some takeaways.

While playing around with Swift package manager, it wasn't immediately obvious how to build for iOS from the command line. The default behaviour of invoking swift build is to build for the host. In my case, macOS. In any case, this was it: swift build -Xswiftc "-sdk" -Xswiftc "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneSimulator13.0.sdk" -Xswiftc "-target" -Xswiftc "x86_64-apple-ios..

Leo Babauta, in Staying Focused with a Simple Method : “When you notice yourself avoiding something hard or uncertain ... the method is to turn towards it. Turn towards what youâre avoiding. Open to the discomfort, embrace it as training and growth. Bring curiosity. Do it even when you donât feel like it. This is the training. The simple method makes it easier. Take it on, and see what happens.” As I have said before , and w..

V relácii rozoberáme problematiku homosexuality. Nekritizujeme pritom homosexuálov ako takých – naopak, títo čelia často mnohým ťažkostiam aj z dôvodu predsudkov (na čo je vhodné poukazovať a individuálnym prípadom pomáhať vyrovnať sa s ťažkosťami). Kritizujeme však LGB agendu, ktorej cieľom je zásadné pretvorenie spoločenských inštitútov (napr. manželstva) bez spoločenskej legitimity a dostatočnej vedeckej podpory. Stručne zhŕňame evolúciu....

Our world is moving towards a near cashless society. Disruptive forces have transformed the payment and credit landscape, accelerating the shift to digital channels. The way we pay today and how we defer payments has changed entirely from where cash was king and credit was granted by the cornershop grocery store. Then everything changed with the introduction of credit cards. However with today’s evolving consumer expectations and more alter..

Up until 2020, collaborating remotely was commonplace for those, such as myself, who work in a distributed setup: my team and stakeholders are scattered across the globe and although we were all aligned on the hurdles and problems we face while trying to make remote works, it doesn't mean it was always easy.

Introduction Once I discovered programming, I was so good at it that I knew that I would make a career out of it. I was wrong. I was recently let go from my job. While it hurt initially, I think it has actually been good for me because I have a chance to reinvent myself and leave an industry that I have begun to believe is fundamentally broken and full of perverse incentives .

I do not use Qubes OS anymore. Consider this article outdated in various regards. This is going to be a rather long post, and I cannot add sources for everything right away. I may add sources at any time without a notice (my edit policy still applies for other kinds of edits nevertheless). Note that for some things I might never be able to provide sources as these are simply things I heard about in public chatrooms. As you may know, I ....
