We have a big announcement. Very big, in fact. Four times bigger than any previous announcement. We make Halide, a camera app that combines intuitive, polished design with the powerful features found in professional gear. Today we’re bringing Halide to a whole new form factor. Meet Halide for iPad!
Researchers demonstrate a solution to a 40-year problem
There are many good, modern solutions for reading data off old floppy discs and drives. Perhaps the best is the Greaseweazle : it's capable,...
By segregating macOS background tasks on Efficiency cores, M1 Macs can run user apps unfettered on their Performance cores. And that feels really fast.
I presented this project at BangBangCon West 2020, but never got around to publish a blog post about it. A 10 minute talk is not enough to cover some technical aspects, and since I’m starting to forget them, it’s about time to write things down.
One of my favorite books is 2013 "High Performance Browser Networking" by Ilya Grigorik. Besides a wealth of actionable advice, the book is illustrated with captivating real life stories.
