The current debate surrounding AVIF versus JPEG XL needs some third-party quantitative data to support arguments on either side. I've compiled a dataset of 27 high-resolution photographic images to compare performance across them all at a wide fidelity range.
Technician: Welcome to Custom Lube, how can I help you? Me: I need an oil change. Technician: OK, you can hop on out. Where is the oil you want to use? Me: I didn’t bring any oil.

Mathematician and software engineer. Formalisation and AI
Currently shipping in Chrome Canary, and thus soon to be in Blink-based browsers including Edge, is a relatively new CSS declaration which promises to virtually end typographic widows.
I used to teach React at a local coding bootcamp, and I noticed that students kept getting tripped up by the same handful of things. In this article, we're going to go through 9 of the most dastardly gotchas. I'll show you how to solve these common problems, so you can avoid a lot of potential frustration!

There's been a bit of a brouhaha these last weeks as parts of the Internet suddenly woke up to the realization that most Single Page Apps are slow and overcomplicated, and — shock horror — it turns out that Facebook, the lovable scamps that brought us React and QAnon, have conducted themselves badly! Refreshingly…
I typically start new front-end prototypes with a single HTML file that I view using a file:// URL. I enjoy this practice of incrementally growing my projects, so I’ll keep working in that single file for as long as I can.
