While I agree that there are lots of problems around security communication, I don't feel like the number of CVEs fixed is a good proxy for bad security, I would assume it's more t…

You are free to choose opening a consultancy yourself and take on the salary risk as well as reap the rewards. Companies also currently aren't completely banned from firing people.…

You are thinking of the continuity of work, colleagues, and responsibilities. Those are of course good to have, especially from the perspective of the company. But from the perspec…

Mine is that: https://photofield.dev/ (but has fewer features)

I spent too long writing this so I might as well submit it here. It's about a weird Firefox? Fedora? AMD? performance regression, but actually not really as it's about Go image enc…

Not the author, but last time I checked (3y ago), the fonts CDN was surprisingly slow, like hundreds of milliseconds of latency. As the website I was optimizing was selfhosted, als…

Btw, there is a typo: renogiate should be renegotiate

It's a pretty deep rabbit hole. For semantic search CLIP and cosine similarity are just fine. SmolVLM(2) mentioned by spacecadet looks interesting though. I haven't integrated face…

Similar one I wrote a while ago using Pupetteer for the IoT low power display purposes. Neat trick is that it learns the refresh interval, so that it takes a snapshot just before i…

You do not need a banner, you need informed consent. I'm sure there are other ways of getting consent other than a half screen pop-up with a big red accept button on first visit, b…

In Go you can do errorf("%w: %s", err, path) so that you get "file not found: foo/bar.json", while still being able to match on the wrapped error value with errors.Is(). The caller…

Check out https://github.com/zombiezen/go-sqlite if you're interested in trying out Sqlite in Go again. Nice interface, negligible compile time impact, fast, compiles without CGO. …

APIs sure, installing on desktop, no. A bit further down on the page linked via the second link: "On desktop: Firefox and Safari do not support installing PWAs on any desktop opera…

YMMV but Copilot (Bing w/ GPT4 toggle) does alright: https://gist.github.com/SmilyOrg/c0f60a41e9fcbbffdbf5454a500... Obviously it could be completely wrong, but it certainly _seems…

You're welcome!

I'm not sure how to respond to this, it just seems to be quite a distorted Apple-centric view. I will leave a few references and make of it what you will. "only player in mobile sp…

I'm not trying to say it was good on mobile, from many accounts it was apparently bad. But we never got to find out for real, did we? It's irrelevant though as if Apple cared so mu…

Thanks! Well, mostly that it's text / XML you usually have to parse in full and boundaries are data heavy, so if you have anything more than a world map, I don't see that working v…

SVG is kind-of terrible for maps, but you can get pretty small with GeoPackage (read: sqlite). I recently spent a bit too long on exactly this problem and ended up with the followi…

For what it's worth as another Flash/AIR developer, this is exactly how it happened. Apple is just very good at spinning the narrative in their favor, i.e. it was because of "stabi…

Hi! A while ago I had exactly the same problem and thought process, so I made this: https://github.com/SmilyOrg/website-image-proxy Hopefully you find it useful :)
