- The Difference Between a Button and a Link
-
Buttons regularly perform navigations. Clicking a logout button navigates the current page to a logged-out one; clicking a "search" button navigates the current page to the query results. Both of these are navigations in the HTML standard. They change the URL, they get logged in the session history, and they load a new page.
And links are often used in situations where they don’t trigger navigations. Relative links can jump around the current page; mailto links can open email clients; download links can save a file to your computer. None of these are navigations, but they are all "destinations" that can be opened, saved, and shared in customizable ways.
- Histogram vs eCDF

I believe that for nearly all purposes in systems design and operations, eCDFs are a better choice than histograms for presenting data to humans.

I’m all for European sovereignty, so I have created a profile on W. I still don’t know how I’ll use it.
Fun fact: it uses the AT Proto protocol designed by Bluesky.

- A big win for Android interoperability
-
Google gatekept key Android features, and the European Commission asked what we thought about it. Now Alphabet must open 11 Android features to all.
In short, Google kept the wake word capability for its own usage, and the workaround was bad from a user experience point of view. While the European Commission ruled in favor of the plaintiff, it remains to be seen how Google is gonna try to weasel its way throughout the ruling.
