This cookbook is intended for new Rust programmers, so that they may quickly get an overview of the capabilities of the Rust crate ecosystem. It is also intended for experienced Rust programmers, who should find in the recipes an easy reminder of how to accomplish common tasks.
So it seems that the word's out, there will be layoffs at Mozilla. What is maddening about this is that the company is in a very good spot financially speaking. Just check the last public audited financial statement: assets.mozilla.net/annualrepor
Expenses have been significantly lower than income and the company has significant assets that could cover Firefox development expenses for years.
Also Mozilla Corporation has no investors to cater to, it doesn't pay dividends to anybody, nobody gets a bonus for this. It makes absolutely no sense.
Did you know that our oldest Web standard dates back from October 1994? It was the specification of Portable Network Graphics (PNG) w3.org/TR/REC-png-961001
W3C re-convened a PNG working group in 2021 to work on PNG Third Edition and plan a Fourth Edition aimed to standardize new features such as animation extension, or adding support for HDR imagery. w3.org/groups/wg/png/

J’ai moi-même eu recours à la procédure de lanceur d’alerte de la CNIL.
On en est à 3 ans, j’ai toujours eu AUCUN retour…
Je vous fais aussi ce qui se passe quand vous signalez une fuite de données à l’ANSSI :
- Moi : bonjour l’ANSSI, XXX a un bug qui fuite les données d’une agence régionale de santé
- ANSSI : OK on regarde
- ANSSI : Bonjour XXX, on nous a signalé une fuite de données, vous pouvez nous confirmer ?
- XXX : Oui tout à fait, mais ce n’est pas un bug, c’est une feature. La non sécurité des URL est voulue et les dorks Google qui vont avec on s’en cogne
- ANSSI : Ah, merci, au revoir
Maybe because the design system should be built into HTML?
More HTML elements that matches the need. Every styles or brand-guides can then be applied to it.
Strange, isn't it, that the values of real people — the things most of us truly care about — are not reflected at ALL in the values of our hegemonic capitalist consumerist culture...
The real luxuries:
- a good night's sleep
- slow mornings
- freedom to choose
- time for fun and play
- listening to birds singing
- long walks
- a good book
- favorite home-cooked meal
- colorful sunsets
- ability to freely express yourself
- day naps
- a good conversation
All engineering is reverse engineering if you document things poorly enough.
« Ah-HA ! Graffiti! » were advertising is everywhere else.
How to link webmentions.io messages, likeCount, replyCount and reportCount to a personal blog with a few JS lines.
I also agree: if you act alone on your free time, then go for simplicity. You have a limited time budget and it should be fun.
Trying new ones when they are needed makes also sense, but only when they make sense.
The article is well written and connects multiple topics: line of code and care work to the software, computer architecture and speed, its industry and more.
Debian 12, for comparison, is 1,341,564,204 lines of code. For comparison, Google Chrome is about 40 million lines, which is in the same ballpark as the Linux kernel these days. No one, even a team, can read these entirely.
Computers aren't much faster now than they were a decade ago, and they will probably never again return to the rate of performance improvement they had for 60 years up to the mid-noughties.
The thing is, that doesn't scale very well. On the desktop we have four-core machines and now we're moving to eight-plus cores, but a single person can't use that very helpfully, so instead, we're getting computers with a mixture of high-performance but hot, power-hungry cores, and lower-performance, cooler, but more electrically-efficient cores.
A limit to multiple cores is the Amdahl's law: even if a program can be made 95 per cent parallel, the maximum speedup you can get is about 20 times, no matter how many processor cores you throw at it.
It is estimated that up to 88% of the data stored in the cloud is ROT (Redundant, Obsolete or Trivial) #DataROT.
There are also "dark data": data collected by companies in the course of their regular business activities, but which is not used for any other purpose.
The service JS bin is often used for one time sharing, stores currently 130 GB of code. Most of it is ROT.
The current apps are designed to create data that live forever. Maybe it is time we set deletion time to the data, or at least an expiration time.
So there are some ideas of the author.
One possibility is to introduce more friction in to the process of creating data that live forever. An account can be needed for example.
Email clients could be designed in a way that encourages (or even requires) users to configure settings for automatic deletion after a certain time period.
When companies make it so easy for us to create junk data at virtually no cost, while making huge profits themselves, they shouldn’t be permitted to pass the cost of cleaning it up onto the individual. They need to take responsibility for their own sprawling data problem, and its planetary impact.
