WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembl...

We at Mozilla feel that WebAssembly has been a second-class citizen on the web for long enough. You shouldn't have to go through JS to do everything.

This is probably a lot of what I will be focusing on for work in 2026!

managed to set up my Pi on apartment wifi 🥳

- no mDNS? -> use nmap + arp 😛
- Pi installer didn’t write network config? -> mount the disk through WSL and write it yourself
- wrong ssh key? -> go back and rewrite that too

Since Zed on Windows is now stable, I’m curious whether GPUI could work as a cross-platform engine for higher-level desktop UI toolkits

Have you seen @simonwillison.net's prompts? The way he openly shares agent conversations feels like reading open source code

selling a tool that uses AI in its implementation/interface > selling "intelligent insights" with a sparkly veneer

using sparkles for AI features is offering the appearance of intelligence, not an actual utility

Being able to rotate iPad content 180° in portrait orientation is goofy until your charger is short and it’s actually ergonomic

Jujutsu docs

Tried out docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/ as a Git replacement. Took a bit to unlearn the separate staging area, but the workflow feels really good so far

I had fun packaging this script into its own repo. A fun detail: the arrows in the readme title go counter-clockwise because you're going back in time to rewrite history. ⏮️ ⏮️

While working on Electron upgrades, I often need to rebase-edit a specific patch commit. Last week, I turned the workflow into a simple script: `git re` 😁

Imagine if Carbon and Swift use C++ as a common interop language the same way most languages use C for FFI

Spotlight window staying open after running a shortcut to open a URL based on input text

Spotlight window staying open after running a shortcut to open a URL based on input text

Apple Shortcut source to turn an input text into a URL to search Chromium source code and open it. The "Provide Output" option in the settings is turned off.

gave macOS Tahoe's upgraded Spotlight a chance on my new laptop for a month. I'm finding it still doesn't measure up to Raycast.

- making trivial shortcuts in Apple Shortcuts feels clunky
- quick keys can fail if you're too... quick
- idk why this shortcut shows me the result, but a clone doesn't
