I’ve found that good logging/tracing discipline can play an important role here. For example, my team has a guideline to put a debug! message before blocks of code that are likely …

Love it when a band does something weird or interesting with their website. My favorite is The Strokes: https://www.thestrokes.com/

Current MS employee here. For a time this was true, but FF recently added this integration. No about:config needed, there’s simply a checkbox under the FF security settings. Since …

> rust solves the issue of finding competent engineers That's a very cynical take, but I think there's a kernel of truth in there somewhere. Rust does indeed make it much harder fo…

I'm fortunate enough to have just landed on a new team working with embedded Rust. Here are some of my takes, in no particular order. The language and ecosystem have come a long wa…

My experience in a big metro area has been that almost every Uber driver does this full-time, and their vehicle is for the sole purpose of Uber. I guess it depends on where you are…

Counterexample: comedy central now has to work to redact all noncompliant programming. Best practices are funny because context and history are important. Actual regulation is not …

Finally, USB-C in a Surface product!

Buying a PlayStation or Switch is voluntary, too

Yes indeed

Could somebody explain the difficulties of implementing true ASLR for the kernel?

Lack of a federal law doesn't necessarily make that comparison invalid; perhaps there should even be an analogous law protecting "free speech platforms" that is rooted in the first…

Not sure if it's already possible, but it would be nice to have nested navigation (like with drop-down sections). Even without that, though, Min is really exactly what I think of w…

At first I got this confused with mincss [1], which is my go-to for quick and dirty sites. This looks like it could be a good option too! [1] http://mincss.com/
