@TaiwanAustralia I could not find any information on the NDC site about this. do you have a link?

Lots of people in my mentions asking about Web GPU. It’s available right now in Safari Technology Preview. It shipped in version 190, in March. Please test it, and let us know if you see issues at bugs.webkit.org.

@FremyCompany best of luck! 🎓 I’m thankful my university didn’t require a defense at the time!

Just letting you know that I will be livestreaming the public defense of my doctoral thesis next week on Thusday (2 PM CET, 8 AM EST) fremycompany.com/BG/2024/Public… I realize the timing is no ideal for my US friends, but there will hopefully be a video recording afterwards 😊

@YDaniv @LeaVerou I feel that we need to spend some time building out WPTs for SVG before it can be included in Interop. The test suite situation for SVG isn’t great right now.

@LeaVerou Thanks for posting this! I tried suggesting SVG as an investigation effort on Interop 2022: github.com/web-platform-t… Sadly it didn't got accepted, but we're not giving up on SVG yet, and we could use help with some noise to push forward our efforts.

We’ve always told web devs that browsers prioritize what to implement based on developer demand. There is one exception: SVG. SVG is used on >65% of websites. Yet, browsers have been *refusing* to work on SVG, ignoring pressure and pain points from web devs. #StateOfHTML showed SVG as the top content pain point: #content_pain_points" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features… Tons of work (SVG 2, fill & stroke, and more) has sat unimplemented for years. At this point, in standards circles, we know not to touch SVG with a barge pole. Case that prompted this post, Custom SVG elements. 7y of pressure, a cornucopia of use cases, yet “no implementer interest”: github.com/WICG/webcompon… Can someone shed some light on why browsers are so desperate to kill SVG? Because at this point, I refuse to believe this is just a rational business decision based on hard facts. The hard facts are shouting “Fix your damn implementations!” and browsers are going "la-la-la" 🙉🙉🙉

jobs.apple.com/en-us/details/… WebKit team is hiring.

@rniwa_dev N matters!

In college, we all learn so much about Big-O notation and asymptotic behavior. In real world, however, things like cache locality and branch prediction tend to matter a lot more. In some cases, asymptotically worse algorithm performs better (linear search vs. hash table lookup).

New blog entry. mnot.net/blog/2023/11/2…

Was excited to receive @dearclarissa & Ivy Chen’s cookbook “Made in Taiwan” last month but only got around to using it last night: Chiayi style turkey rice! Only had this dish once before, in Tainan earlier this year, but the flavour is spot on.

@ecbos_ thank you for filing 😄

Finding Blink/WebKit bugs while reviewing Firefox patches will always give me a chuckle (bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?i… / bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/iss…).

love that Indonesia’s new high speed rail service is called “the WHOOSH”

@dearclarissa Really looking forward to having an English language contemporary Taiwanese cookbook so I can eat the dishes I miss so much from my time there! Sure I can browse around on icook.tw but nothing beats a book. Thank you for writing it.

TIL the Tawanese way to say cabbage, 高麗菜, has shared etymological roots with the 'cole' in cole slaw. Really enjoy @egasmb's Taiwanese Hokkien mini-lessons 🙏
