Bloomberg uses a lot of C++ & contributes to the standard as well as various industry conferences and libraries. I’m looking for an experienced engineer to join a distributed systems team in New York working on our core Deployment Infrastructure for the Bloomberg Terminal 🗽 🧵

The past years have seen horrendous attacks towards trans people. We have a duty to protect the most vulnerable members of our communities. There is no Haskell without the trans people who have shaped it through the years. This June is a month of celebrations, but the struggle continues. ✊🏳️‍⚧️λ

I realize I sound like old man yelling at clouds but... ...in my day WE READ ALL THE CITATIONS BEFORE WE CITED THEM. That's how you GAIN THE KNOWLEDGE TO CITE THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. Signed: Someone who literally read two whole books on the color blue just to write a single 1000 word article.

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

For April Fools, I told the ETSI CYBER EUSR rapporteur group on web browsers that the European Commission was giving us until April 15th to submit our final draft. Got them good! Well, some requests for clarification but actually no laughs… (Real timeline: edit through May, then more review stages)

JavaScript's date object has been tricky for years, but that is changing. The NEW Temporal API brings, 🌍 Easily handle time zones 📆 Precise date math 🕒 Parse ISO strings without errors ⌛ Durations, date ranges, and more. Start experimenting 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

Temporal - JavaScript | MDN

The Temporal object enables date and time management in various scenarios, including built-in time zone and calendar representation, wall-clock time conversions, arithmetics, formatting, and more. It is designed as a full replacement for the Date object.

The Cyber Resilience Act mandates that commercial software handle vulnerabilities well. What does that mean exactly? The CRA names sound principles in Annex I Part II, but applying them in practice is another thing.

I’m getting involved in security standards for web browsers as part of my new role at CrabNebula! It’s important to ensure that the web’s security model is not compromised, as browser engines evolve, new browser derivatives become more popular, and brand new web engines emerge.

I take a deep dive into Interop 2025; why the project is there, how it picks what browser features to focus on each year, how well it's doing and what the big areas for this year are - a mix of cleaning up existing features and making sure new features arrive already interoperable

Interop Unites Browser Makers To Smooth Web Inconsistencies

For the past four years, major browser vendors have collaborated to improve web interoperability by coordinating enhancements to inconsistent browser implementations.

If there is a sale of Chrome, the buyer should be required to spend at least 25% of their revenue on the core browser engine and standards development. Browsers are enormously profitable, but a new owner might try to run things for the short term.

Everyone is going crazy trying to implement software supply chain security so that they aren’t deploying code with known vulnerabilities. But with the MITRE news, that might become helpfully scoped down: You can’t ship any new vulnerabilities if there are no more CVEs!
