    Yes for holiday planning. At work we are a massive confluence/rovo user so that is my go to with very occasional search engine use. Our projects heavily use platform tools so I am …

    500ms means a slow connection, high latency or significant bloat. Optimising the page and using a CDN can help alot. It is a shame HTML doesn't have rel="swap" in links to "swap" i…

    Yes if you click a regular link in a modern browser on a noJS or lowJS reasonable size page it is darn fast. And the predictability is a boon. Open in new tab, back button etc.

    Pre-trump: Why does China need US debt? They can be paid US $ for stuff then buy US assets like stocks instead? Then they get rich without worrying if they get paid. (Assuming the …

    My memory had held back my career I am sure. I can't regurgitate the minute details of impact I did even 12 months ago, just broad strokes... so I prep as best I can but it probabl…
