macbeth linkin park what i've done

Video of my @perfnow.nl keynote is up! In this talk, I challenged the false choice between magic and pragmatism. Don't settle for "fast enough". Instead, aim to create a user experience that's #pragmagical — blending user delight with measurable business impact. conffab.com/presentation...

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Happy Little Sunflower

There's a sight to see, freshly published in time for #PerfNow. Talk by @tunetheweb.com , an excellent walkthrough on how to get the most out of a truly powerful tool www.etsy.com/codeascraft/...

Huge thanks to @andydavies.me for mentioning the LoAF Helpers WebPerf Snippet at @perfnow.nl! Honored to be part of the amazing Web Performance community 🫶 🔗 webperf-snippets.nucliweb.net/Interaction/... #WebPerf #PerfNow #Performance #LoAF #INP #CoreWebVitals

“We are the user’s line of defence” between automated tools that don’t offer accountability. @tkadlec.bsky.social at #PerfNow

Glad to announce that my team at @cloudflare.social released a 1.0.0 version of a cross-browser web performance testing agent that supports Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge. Thank you to @tkadlec.bsky.social for making it happen and writing most of the code so far! github.com/cloudflare/t...

It's nice to be back at the Zuiderkerk for #perfnow, having the conference in the same city & venue creates a comforting feeling of continuity. Each morning starts with flaky croissants letting people settle in in for two days of lively talks & livelier hallway conversations. (and stroopwafel later)

The #perfnow conference started! Live stream available via perfnow.nl/live-stream....

I co-wrote a post on the Etsy engineering blog about implementing Speculation Rules API (SRA) to prefetch product listing pages from search results. And many thanks to @tunetheweb.com and @cdaveross.bsky.social for the help and support! www.etsy.com/codeascraft/...

Can a leftist (progressive) position on #genai be held? I think it's complicated.

Stoyan's video from his talk about fonts and layout shifts is now live! cc @stoyan.me #webperf www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaY8...

If you loved the Living Computer Museum in Seattle as much as I did, you should know that SO MANY of those systems are still alive and running at icm.museum?donate under the same stewardship of Stephen Jones who was curator at LCM. You can visit OR connect remotely! DONATE AND DOUBLE YOUR DONATION!

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:

Episode 7 is next week on Oct 23! Come join us live for access to Q&A and general chat! We have @stoyan.me talking about font fallbacks and layout shift plus some extra time for an open discussion! All details and add-to-calendar at performanceobserver.dev

We want to congratulate @firefox.com and @firefoxperformance.bsky.social for shipping the Event Timing API in Firefox 144, meaning both INP (which is calculated from Event Timing) and LCP (that they shipped previously) can be measured in that browser. More Core Web Vitals for all! 5/7

Reading through it, I'm still baffled at what the final AI-extruded product what supposed to *be*. I've seen myriad "we've come up with a possibly-new way to visualize preferences, let's use that to sell sponsored beer!" announcements, none of which panned out. Glad the judges could call it out

omg @amalelmohtar.com pointed out this is Garages vs Tigers and I can’t unsee it

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL.

Compression dictionaries is now an official RFC! www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9842....

It’s hard to believe, but Sea Otter Awareness Week is over… ‘til next year! Otters get their own week in September because they’re the real MVPs (Most Voracious Predators) of the kelp forest. As a keystone species, they maintain the balance of the ecosystem by eating! Learn more: mbayaq.co/3IPiaE5

Still possibly the greatest title drop in video games

the zoo has one of those mildly-threatening anti-shoplifting signs by the otter enclosure. in case someone tries to steal an otter

Excellent food & rum curation, I heartily recommend them

@matthewcort.land's post basically covers all the best practices I know of to date (which also means I will no longer be buying Profi and will be switching to Azelastine / stocking up while I'm in the US/Australia where it's OTC/Pharmacist dispensed, it's Rx only in Canada): bsky.app/profile/matt...

This was pushed out with a rushed security review, a coerced and unwilling engineering team, and in full opposition to our supposed company values. If you don't want it, tell them. Social media and support forums. Leadership won't listen to employees. github.blog/changelog/20...

A little reminder: if you work in #webdev you should care about #webperf. @perfnow.nl is *the* yearly conference, an opportunity to learn from the absolute best plus a super supportive and welcoming community. Tickets will pay dividends in business impact.

We made you a rigorously cited timeline of major moves, cases, changes, and other wildass developments in the immigration system since January 20. This is one of the most complicated things I've ever worked on, but we think it needs to be done. The thread breaks down the kinds of things we found.

Huge fan of RSS, without it I'm sure my media/news consumption & general Internet use would be much unhealthier.

Ever wondered how much app performance really matters? 🤔 Duolingo's latest case study shows it's a game-changer! They boosted their Daily Active Users by hundreds of thousands just by speeding up their Android app. 🚀 blog.duolingo.com/android-app-...

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

really nothing better than being able to entertain friends with food and drink

Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.

Just saw a video go by that I would have been very interested in if it had been an article instead of a 33 minute video. Write an article!!

🚨 A new #otter species just slid into the chat 👋 The #IUCN has officially recognized a new species of Neotropical otter in South America: Lontra annectens - making it the 14th otter species known to science! 🦦 📚 Full research study: academic.oup.com/jmammal/arti... 📸: Heidy Sanz Montoya
