LOL, apparently some of the fanboys think this is anthropic universe brain getting rid of their biggest source of costs lining up to the IPO.

i mean it's blatantly untrue, but it's amazing what people will believe.

Thanks also to the organisers of React Summit for inviting me back to share a challenging message of hard data that paints a largely (cultural) React-incompatible, but I think hopeful, utopian horizon.

En route to SFO from AMS and grateful for all the lovely people who invited me to events and said hello. Particularly chuffed I got to stop in on the Web We Want event and the CSS Café; amazing talks that gave me hope.

the content i watch on youtube is still mostly native english speakers, but a fairly sizeable chunk now is from people for whom it's a second language.

there are vastly more people in the world who are not native english speakers than who are, so over time in theory they should come to dominate. and so the dominant dialect we'll be hearing is this internationalised version.

at some point that becomes the new reality, doesn't it?

there is a sort of de facto "international english", that people speak when they have learned most of the language and feel confident to freestyle the rest but get it wrong.

the example that triggered this thought was a swede saying "-20 centigrades" (actual number may have been different), which isn't how we'd say it, but is perfectly understandable.

i wonder if that's just how language is going to go as we gradually simplify it

Learning about CPU race conditions is wild.

Like, my phone has this weird race condition where every now and then I’m scrolling my social media feeds and I see something abhorrently racist and…

What’s what? That’s more a human issue than a phone issue?

Damn. Those are harder to fix.

Welp, I think WPT is totally cooked.

6+ months ago I walked a Catchpoint employee through how the new version fails to meet basic needs and how unbelievably slow it is. Did I mention unusable on mobile?

Traced the WPT UI again using WPT. "Enjoy":

If anyone knows much about how to handle widespread DDOS from a multi-ASN botnet with “HostPapa” being the largest ASN, please do get in touch. 😵‍💫
