I need someone to reconcile the Direct Sockets proposal in the Web Incubator Community Group with the Sockets API proposal from WinterTC before either gets so entrenched that we end up with two very similar and yet incompatible specifications for a TCP/UDP sockets API in JavaScript environments.

how do you all remember every UUID? I find it really hard. so I wrote them all down on every uuid dot com

the list has fast search across all 2^122 values (so you can find your favorites) - hoping to add some social features like "trending UUIDs" soon!

As a browser engineer, seeing people build things like this warms my heart.

An @oxidecomputer.bsky.social rack comes with casters, unlike the Mac Pro.

Please raise a specific spec issue for it.

The `id` field itself ties into the permissions management code, which I see you were already looking into, and would more directly expose to developers the browser's internal notion of how real devices map to the identity stored in the permissions system.

There's an upcoming project to add an `id` field similar to what BluetoothDevice has to USBDevice, SerialPort and HIDDevice which will make this much easier to specify as we can simply say that any two objects with the same `id` must also compare as equal.

I swear I added some language when I wrote Web Serial that makes this clearer, but yes, it is guaranteed and should be added to the specification as otherwise it becomes very difficult for developers.

That seems reasonable. Can you file a Chromium issue with links to your research?

(It should get specced too but we probably want to start with not passing values that the OS will reject.)

My little tool for setting the time on a Xiaomi e-ink clock made an appearance on Eric Lawrence's recent post on security tradeoffs.

Web APIs for connecting to Bluetooth and USB devices are scary but they're better than the alternative of executing native code.

Web developers should be forced to use their own sites while using an international roaming plan that gives you 256 kbps (or worse).

Especially bus ticket site developers.

Can you file a spec issue for exposing both of these properties?

No. It probably wouldn't be difficult but nobody's presented a use case.

I managed to convince Windows 11 to let me configure dial-up networking.

I'm curious if @koush.bsky.social has noticed any issues with garbage collection pauses when receiving lots of data with WebUSB in vysor.io.

github.com/WICG/webusb/... is a potential solution but it's hard to justify creating so much churn without strong signals that it will be helpful.

Can I please just write Rust instead of having to figure out how to make C++ behave like Rust?

I am disappointed by people.

If you ever saw a web platform proposal you didn't like (and who hasn't), I wrote a few words that may be of interest https://blog.yoav.ws/posts/web_platform_change_you_do_not_like/

I need a shirt that says, "Fuck off, I don't want to install your app."

Ok let's see how bsky works for professional posting. While being named @buttplug.engineer.

Anyone looking for Rust/C#/possibly C++/TS/JS/WASM/etc... developers at the staff/principle level?

I'm starting to look around for new opportunities, curious what might be available out there.

I wonder how much trouble I'd get into for expensing the cost of getting an actual human being to create illustrations for my slides.

I have transitions lenses (UV reactive lenses which darken in sunlight). Since I'm walking with the sun exactly to my left, my right lens is in shadow. That means that only the left lens is transitioning and so colors appear differently between my eyes. This is very weird.

Florida Bans Men From Becoming Nurses TALLAHASSEE, FL—In a sweeping effort to curtail what he called “woke gender ideology,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new bill into law Wednesday banning men from becoming nurses. “Imagine how disturbed a child would be at the doctor’s office if a nurse stepped into the room to take their temperature and it was a…

“That kind of nonsense might fly in liberal California, but not here.”

As a phone nerd I am simultaneously excited by phone systems and scared of bothering people by actually using them.

It's really hard not to get mad over the wonderful coworkers I lost so that Google could offer shareholders $70 billion in stock buybacks.

I am here to reskeet cats.

My POV of a big fluffy cat sitting next to me on my pillow demanding pets first thing in the morning. My hand is on the side of his head.

Toby tilting his head all the way back to get skritches under his chin, his whiskers splayed out in the air

He’s now trying to eat my finger

Putting him in a one handed ear jail. He doesn’t seem to care.

Good morning from Toby, who demands to be adored the moment my alarm goes off

Anyone know where one could buy an LTE-U base station as a normal person (not a telco)?
