How we made compiler warnings fatal in Firefox
Compiler warnings are mostly good: they identify real problems, and when false positives do occur they are usually easy to work around. However, if they’re not fatal, they tend to be ignored and build up. (See bug 187528 for an idea!)

Undefined Behavior in 2017
Since you talk about the sanitizers and tools like Checked-C, I’ll note there’s also SaferCPlusPlus[1], which is essentially a memory-safe (and data race safe) subset of C++. The idea is that there are a finite number of C++ elements that contribute to memory unsafety, and since the advent of C++11, it is now…

The bloat of AMP
AMP had just been popularised at the time I was considering rebuilding this site. It sounded like as a great idea. Faster websites are right up my alley. And who doesn’t want an SEO boost?

California consumer groups allow CenturyLink to end dark fiber leasing
If CenturyLink is allowed to buy Level 3 , then California will lose a major source of dark fiber.

Pruning spaces from strings quickly on ARM processors
Suppose that I give you a relatively long string and you want to remove all spaces from it. In ASCII, we can define spaces as the space character (' '), and the line ending characters ('\r' and '\n'). I am mostly interested in algorithmic and performance issues, so we can simplify the problem by removing all ……
