@hochitom Thank you!

Interesting talk from Anna Migas (@szynszyliszys) about trying to deliver fast web experiences in Africa. #perfnow

Finally decided to test using micro.blog to crosspost to multiple sites at the same time. Works pretty well. I need to test it on mobile as well before I can commit fully. In an ideal world, I’d do what @adactio does with Bridgy. https://adactio.com/journal/19645 It’s on the perpetual to do list.

Listening to Paul Calvano talk about web performance mistakes at the #perfnow conference. Love how Etsy makes it ok for people to make mistakes and learn from them.

Assuming AGI ever becomes a reality, I wonder if we’ll looo back in this idea that all we need to get there is more training data the same way we look back on people trying to fly by building wings that flap harder.https://mastodon.social/@macrumors/113475899572761752

@adrian Thank you. I love this city. It's wonderful to be back.

@yatil Thanks. I'll give that a try. I’ll just want to find a section of a video without having to watch the whole thing so a lot of these services anticipate an ongoing need I don't have.

Stages of talk preparation:1. I don't know what I'm going to talk about.2. Ok, I've got an idea, but I don't think there is enough here to fill 50 minutes.3. Weeks of stress.4. Crap. I have 189 slides. What am I going to cut?

Last week, @paulhebert published a really fun article on Generating Random Mazes with JavaScript. It's a great walkthrough of the technique even if you don't dig into the code. https://cloudfour.com/thinks/generating-random-mazes-with-javascript/

@schwa Not yet, but I just turned 50. My mental decline is coming on fast!

FWIW, the judge assigned to the WP Engine vs. Automattic / Mullenweg case "participates in the Cameras in the Courtroom Pilot Project." https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69221176/wpengine-inc-v-automattic-inc/If it goes to trial, the tech soap opera might be televised.#wpdrama

lol super curious if this app is built on React"The Campaign Sidekick app effectively forces canvassers who have less than 40mbps of internet – sufficient to stream 4K video – to use “offline walkbooks” which have no geo-tracking feature and do not always upload after a route is completed, the people said."https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/14/trump-ground-game-smartphone-app

@grigs @chriscoyier @beep yes it was internal links.
