I understand the core is the layout engine and a component library? Does the rendering somehow benefit from GPU? I recently had a good experience creating custom UI based on ebitengine — also a cross-platform Go engine. As it is a game engi

Some time ago I created a proof-of-concept reverse CAPTCHA[1] that actually presents a challenge that requires LLM assistance to solve, alongside with the instructions. You point your agent to the URL and it figures that it has a challenge

One may still write C code as they did 40 years ago, but they still use the power of numerous libraries, better compilers, Git, IDEs with syntax highlighting and so on. The only true difference — to me — is the speed of change that makes it

It makes me sad to read posts like this. If it is a necessary step for you on the journey from denial to acceptance to embracing the new state of the world, then sure, take your time. But software engineering is the only industry that is bu

Everything that is touching hardware, for example. Bluetooth stack, HDMI, you name it. Everything W3C does. Go is evolving through specs first. Probably every other programming language these days. People already do that for humankind-scale

If I had a spec for something non-trivial, I probably would ask AI to create a test suite first. Or port tests from an existing system since each test is typically orders of magnitude easier to rewrite in any language, and then run AI in a

On iPhone, tapping an NFC tag with a URL opens a popup that allows you to navigate to that URL with a single click. If this URL is supported by an installed app, this app will handle this. For example, if you write a URL of a Spotify playli

Active noise cancellation headphones (without playing music). Bought ones recently and can't be happier. Works both in office and when working from home, and are great in cancelling the background noise (like HVAC) and lowering the ove

Yeah, I'm an every-day-user of enterprise Duo app. It is as good as a third-party app can be (on iOS specifically), yet you have to do extra steps as compared to Touch ID alone: force-press the notification, click Accept, then confirm

This is a very interesting concept. I'm pretty sensitive to UX issues, and I'm yet to see nicely implemented and secure auth flows. All non-OS-native 2FA solutions (Google Auth, Duo) seem a bit cumbersome (and require additional e

Thanks for sharing. This proposal makes every bit of sense, IMO. I wish selection sharing could also be a part of some cross-browser standard so that people wouldn't have to install anything on their sites. It's one of the things

I know that the best available option in today's world is to make a screenshot of a selection to point to a specific point on a page, but heck, this seems to be an extreme waste of bytes when the only thing you want to do is to point s
