Link: Diving into the Data on Feature Availability and Adoption [BlinkOn 20] - YouTube This is a great talk from Annie Sullivan at BlinkOn 20 about the availability and adoption of web features. Annie discusses the importance of understanding how features are used in the wild, and how this can inform the development of new features. I took a few notes on the talk, which I thought were interesting and linked to them below:

Software is in a massive transition phase where it is now possible for non-developers to produce software that was previously the remit of professional developers.

In not praying for themselves in reference to this end, that they may profit by the Word. In not setting themselves to be in a spiritual composed frame for such a work.

Although originally written in 2018, the following concepts remain essential for developers working with concurrency. This blogpost focuses on concurrency, distinguishing it from parallelism by defining it as “out of order” execution. It emphasizes the importance of understanding workload types—CPU bound (e.g., summing, sorting) and IO bound (e.g., file reading)—to assess when concurrency is appropriate. Through practical examples and bench..

While I was preparing to submit my most recent manuscript, I had to quickly add line numbers. It just took a couple of lines in the LaTeX source file, but I was worried that doing so would subtley mess up the document in some way that I’d only realize after it was too late. To ensure that the two documents were identical but for the line numbers, I just overlayed them using pdftk and the following command:

Junie is one of the best coding agent I've been trying out so far. Very well integrated with IntelliJ, great for Kotlin, and the test first focus makes it quite good at coming out with good results. However, I do miss the capability to only accept part of a solution and it can be very slowwwwww.

It’s certaintly a fascinating time for robotics. I am generally pessimistic of the current state, and likely fates, of much of the current landscape of the robotics industry, but it is undeniable we are rapidly unlocking new capabilities and research is flying forward. This talk acts as an excellent high level overview of the key innovations to our approach of utilizing reinforcement learning for better performance of robots with our ..

I’ve seen dozens and dozens of open source robotic arm projects; probably because of my own addiction to mechanical automatons paired with my unending desire (despite a lack of need) for a robotic arm of my own. This one caught my eye however as it has a particularly clever accessory method without the need to of a complex end effector tool changer. If they can route power/data control signals out to the accessories next I rather like..

I really liked matklad’s Performance Visualization challenge (partially because it didn’t take me long to find the line with samply , which made me feel good). Here’s a skills gap or research question perhaps : How do you identify an impactful but diffuse problem. I have a concrete example in mind. So, nine months ago, trying to optimize a function in Speedometer 3 , my colleague Iain Ireland dug through the generated assembly, ....

Having spent four decades as a programmer in various industries and situations, I know that modern software development processes are far more stressful than when I started. It's not simply that developing software today is more complex than it was back in 1981. In that early decade, none

Another blog post written wearing only my hat, rather than any Mozilla or TC39 Delegate related hats Last year while considering some JavaScript standards evolution, I wanted to look into how C++ handles some of the challenges. I dug through some documents, and wanted to share some of my findings here as a pointer for future discussion.

When dealing with disks and I/O things on Linux, you’d regularly run commands like lsblk, lsscsi, nvme list, etc. All of them tend to report a different set of information, so I ended up running multiple commands and correlating their output based on the device name or number. And then I had to run commands like these, to get extra info about the current OS-level configuration settings for specific disks:

As developers, we pour our energy into building robust, elegant software. We craft features, optimise performance, and squash bugs. But in today's world, building secure software is just as crucial. Enter Threat Modeling – not as a bureaucratic chore, but as a practical superpower for developers aiming to build resilient applications. Think of threat modeling as structured foresight: anticipating how things could go wrong from a securit....

In the last few weeks, a handful of new Bootstrap Icons releases have gone out. Here’s a recap of what’s new in our v1.12.x and v1.13.x releases so far. v1.12 v1.12.0 added a single icon, mostly because people wouldn’t stop asking for it haha, and v1.12.1 added a page to the docs for it. That was all for Bluesky . v1.13.0 and v1.13.1 New in v1.13.0 are several icons, some guidance around how to use Sass files with Vite, and a few lit..

Plus I’m eager to increase my practice in visualizatio nand intuition. But drawing references tend to be oriented towards the more popular subjects of nature, people, animals. Very few people are as enamored by the mechanical mov..

Welcome to the Netherlands! If you’re a newcomer like me and love tennis, or even if you’re looking to pick up a racket for the first time, you’re in luck. Tennis is popular here, and there are plenty of ways to play. However, figuring out the local tennis scene can be a bit of a puzzle when you’re new. When I moved here in 2022, one of the very first things I bought was a new tennis racket – even before I found a permanent apartment! I w..
