git history explorer sickening
i went into my ext list because I discovered that this process named simply java that was always near the top of my cpu in activity monitor was caused by one called sonarlint, so i went to uninstall that, and 30,000 others. I clicked on this one though n this lil extension right here gonna change some lives…
Here it is ran on this very file:
flash attention lexicon
"Dropping out of my Softmax matmul, I FlashAttentioned when I realized I'd become a fused kernel"
A diagram with interesting lingo linked from a Microsoft model Phi 3 as used in its creation.
I've seen the terms repeated throughout my peeks at LLM software—here are some more from ModernBERT model
- **Rotary Positional Embeddings (RoPE)**for long-context support.
- Local-Global Alternating Attentionfor efficiency on long inputs.
- Unpadding and Flash Attentionfor efficient inference.
Q: "Heya son, is BERT local or global???" A: "local-global! when it's unpaddedly flashing attention at Ms. Fused Kernel"

While searching how to get psuedo-unlimited history on zsh, which is below, the stack user who wrote the response referenced this sick site:

setopt BANG_HIST ## Treat the '!' charac
ter specially during expansion.

target="_blank" calls for noopener noreferrer
the most underestimated vulnerability ever
tldr when using an anchor tag with target="_blank"
you should also include rel="noopener noreferrer"
to prevent the new page from having access to the window.opener object, which can be used to redirect the parent page to a malicious site. The noopener part also protects against the page that has the link from being the same process as the new page, with perf issues if the new page is executing something comp expensive.

There's a ton of sick python plugins that could be used in any other SSG, like importing a whole tumblr, or twitter, record a text-to-speech synthesized version of each post in every language.

open notes site
i take a lot of notes and then never read them or revisit them… it seems this person did as well and that writing for an audience could help… this seems intuitively true considering the quality of something i would write to summarize a project at work vs pour moi. the design is pretty cool, and reminds me of gwern.net, which is basically the same idea. need to develop a program that looks thorugh my notes, extracts a few snippets, and send to phone everyday

U know things are diecey when you become the subject of an Open Letter, or when said open letter is a site, and has detail-receipt routes and an appendix.
this kickass security site

Super sick site that runs lighthouse perf testing on 500k sites, aggregates, then summarizes the
results. The dataset is also made publicly available.
I found this graph fascinating. When they started recording this data in 2010, the avg size of
resources requested by a page for was 400kb and in 2023 is 2,000+
beeminder
In this week's most first world problem, I have signed up to beeminder.com which charges you if you don't meet your self-defined goals. A commitment device.
And while it seems like a sure sign of late-stage decadence as earth burns in order to encourage me to publish more often, I gotta say it's a slick product. It's got an api, a trillion connections, featured goal-havers, u name it.
addy osmani
dude has sick books, articles, and products: addy osmani tools
he also works for google and contributed to lil projects like quicklink which this site uses to prefetch/prerender all links in the viewport.
quicklinks is contained the in GoogleChromeLabs org, which has a trillion other amazing lil things like squoosh which is an advanced image optimizer with live preview… look at this image of ppl talkin about DEWORMING themselves google chrome labs

I'll go on extension installation rampages sometimes and this one is like grammarly on… PEDs. Rewrites in tone in line, grammar tips, settings galore, etc. Noice.
sonarcloud
Code analysis tool with such a detailed ui it's bonkers. Here's a public AWS repo's error analysis. It has coverage reports. A breakdown of types of issues that makes sense. The explanations why issues are amazing learning resources in themselves. It rubs your feet. It has how to fix it and gives you an estimate for how long it'll take after triaging its severity!!! Cray. Codecov you better be ashamed.
Also, the option to open the rule does so in a split pane, not some browser and makes total sense w/ links to MDN galore. The option to fix with copilot took significantly longer to calculate what was the issue (it was the same issue) and while it fixecd it it also renamed some stuff and made other misc changes.
Copilot did slay in explainer section though. It also pointed out I could ask more follow up or unrelated or pseudorelated questions re the code, such as "How can I optimize etc." Then I asked "optimize further", and "how to do so for multiple files"—both at its prompting and here's what it put out with hefty descriptions for each.
Well this was not meant to be a head to head, but alas. Maybe I'll go make them arm wrestle (snaps elbow gruesomely video is recalled).

hallucinating developer
From open.ai's documentation, interesting choice of words:
github.dev
I've been browsing for different ideas on how to improve my publishing flow for this blog. Not because I need to, just out of curiosity and because I like SSGs. I started to think maybe I should just edit my md pages directly in the repository, since github offers a preview pane and everything. And then I clicked the dropdown next to edit pencil it said "open in github.dev" .
What do you know an in browser fully featured vscode instance pops up lol. With full ability to do markdown preview to the right and make commits and it's instant updating and renders images etc. Wowwie!
Jk it's not fully featured, but you can install certain plugins, relevant to the task at hand (markdown linters, themes, etc.), and even sync your settings. Gooped.
You can also supply a css file path for any you want to apply to the markdown preview itself, meaning you can pretty much make the preview look like what the deployed version will. Wowwie.
browser blogs
I like reading about browsers and have even worked on (read: downloaded src, felt heat radiating from machine) chromium before. Some blogs I check out are the v8 dev which is about features of the v8 js engine, and chrome status roadmap which features upcoming features in next version. They each have a post dedicated to them with links to the specifications, motivations, chromium source, and documentation. I guess because chrome is a weird mix of public/private, it feels a little like corporate espionage. Titillating.

This one has been publishing often for over ten years. Latest posts are about webkit internals and stuff like scroll-driven-animations which I had never heard of it.
Ditto this blog. Publishes often and about very specific css topics in details. Here's one about :focus-visible and when in the paint cycle it actually occurs.

github api tinkering
I wrote this little script to see how many commits had been made on a repo of mine:
const fetch = require("node-fetch");
const owner = "saylestyler";
const repo = "totfiles";
const since = new Date("2020-01-01").toISOString();
const until = new Date("2023-02-01").toISOString();
async function fetchContributions() {
const response = await fetch(`https://api.github.com/repos/
${owner}/${repo}/commits?since=${since}&until=${until}`);
const commits = await response.json();
if (!response.ok)
throw new Error(`
gh err ${response.status}: ${commits.message}
`);
return commits.length;
}
fetchContributions()
.then((commitCount) =>
console.log(`from ${since} to ${until} made ${commitCount} commits`)
)
.catch((error) => console.error("couldnt fetch commits", error));
This does what you would think it would do but what was more interesting was all of the links present in the JSON returned.
I started clicking around and found that you could get followers, gists, following, stars, the nebulous "events", etc. and that's just on the base api obj

bespoke browsers in 2024
A post on the browsers in the shadows
I want to make one so badly! Even just a simple one. When I browse the chromium repo I feel a literally sense of enchantment heh. Mebbe one day when I have unlimited freetime. Or I guess I could make small efforts here or there, Tyler.
