## [Image decay as a service](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/image-decay-as-a-service)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although it mentions "Image", this post is actually a very good (as Amos'
|
||
|
|
posts usually are) explaining async Rust and Tide from the very beginning.

## [Redesigning Github repository page](https://tonsky.me/blog/github-redesign/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Github presented a new layout recently, but some things are not... quite in
|
||
|
|
place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Here, Nikita explores the interface step by step, checking every element and
|
||
|
|
how to make them work.

## [Apple declined to implement 16 Web APIs in Safari due to privacy concerns](https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-declined-to-implement-16-web-apis-in-safari-due-to-privacy-concerns/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have one chance to figure out who proposed most of those 16 APIs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, not to just pick on anyone or defend Apple, but some of those are
|
||
|
|
completely absurd for a web thing -- unless you want the web to become a whole
|
||
|
|
operating system, something that would make a lot more sense in, I don't know,
|
||
|
|
a native application running on a real operating system, maybe?

## [Fira](https://mozilla.github.io/Fira/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mozilla took the task of keeping Fira -- and Fira Code -- fonts.

The only issue I found: No ligatures on the mono version. There is an issue
|
||
|
|
open since 2016 but the ligatures are not there (at least, the common ones,
|
||
|
|
like "==", "->" and "=>", that make those appear as a single character).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sadly, for now, I'm sticking with
|
||
|
|
[Cascadia](https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/releases).

## [The Runbooks Project](https://containersolutions.github.io/runbooks/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm a huge fan of Runbooks. Why? Because, some day, you'll be on call and
|
||
|
|
things will go wrong and you'll have no idea what to do, but there it is, a
|
||
|
|
list of things that can go wrong and how to fix them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And here are some generic runbooks to take care of common things when they go
|
||
|
|
wrong.

## [What is Zig's “Colorblind” Async/Await?](https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-colorblind-async-await/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Async/await is in all rage these days, and Zig is a small language that takes
|
||
|
|
a lot of C, but tries to fix some of its issues.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And here is an introduction directly of async/await in Zig, so you can get a
|
||
|
|
good "feel" of the language.
