Both showers and public transit rides have 3x multipliers to Thinking Time. You'd think stationary bikes would be too because they're both moving and mindless but actually they're 0.5x at best. Long flights have 10x to Thinking Time but only if you're in the sweet spot of tired but not TOO tired

The 3-month-old otter pup was really proud to show it off and even share it with his mom, Pintar. ๐
My condolences, that was a rough announcement to read
Interested in the @httparchive.org and not sure where to start? During the @performanceobserver.dev meetup tomorrow (12:30pm ET), I'm going to be providing an overview of the HTTP Archive and demonstrate how to start querying it! performanceobserver.dev/events/episo...
Bao, meaning โtreasureโ in Vietnamese, represents more than a milestone for our zoo. His birth was recommended by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums Species Survival Planยฎ (SSP), a science-based program supporting the long-term survival of this highly vulnerable species. 2/2

As first-time parents, Pintar and Sebastian have done an exceptional job raising Bao behind the scenes. Now three months old, heโs ready to make his public debut this weekend. 1/2
A construction worker in high-visibility clothing is adjusting equipment on a concrete surface. The scene is outdoors, featuring a series of rectangular metal components aligned in rows. A concrete barrier runs alongside, and there are trees and houses visible in the distant background under a cloudy sky.
A construction site at Judkins Park Station with scaffolding and equipment, featuring a partially built structure in the center. A crane is visible on the left, and trees are in the background.
Aerial view of the Mercer Island light rail station surrounded by trees and greenery. The station features modern glass structures and a large concrete platform. In the background, there are roads and parking areas, with hills visible in the distance under a partly cloudy sky.
Aerial view of a light rail train traveling across the I-90 floating bridge. Multiple cars are visible on an adjacent road. The background shows a city skyline with buildings surrounded by trees. The sky is overcast.
How it started: early construction taking shape. How itโs going: a fully connected 2 Line.
Years of planning, precision, and teamwork are leading to one historic connection, opening March 28. See more photos: https://www.soundtransit.org/blog/platform/then-now-crosslake-connection-journey-photos
In our rush to align page speed with SEO and business metrics, have we in the #webperf community lost our way? In this post, based on the keynote I gave at #PerfNow a few months ago, I explore how it's not too late to bridge the gap between pragmatism and user delight.

How do you measure when a component is โreadyโ? โฑ๏ธ
LCP is too global; Element Timing is too specific.
๐ ๏ธ Iโve been working with Bloomberg on a new #webperf API: Container Timing. Think of it as โLCP for a web componentโ, providing aggregated paint timing for a subtree.
A shocking 8.5% of sites that use CDNs deliver some static content directly to end users via cloud storage! Many are not compressing or caching this content either. This comes at a significant performance cost. Details, examples and @httparchive.org stats here - paulcalvano.com/2026-02-09-s...

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

We could talk about whether we got the "good cyberpunk" but what's important I think is a good 50 years of film and comics were trying really, really hard to make you think about this exact sort of image, and to internalize that if you saw this sort of image you should have an intense reaction to it
