We were trying to launch a new captive portal page design for a customer and we ran into the strangest issue. Only on iOS devices, we’d see extreme slowness and unresponsive behavior in the Apple Captive Network Assistant (CNA). Over the course of several days, we made multiple...

Apollo and App Icons

from Jim Nielsen’s Blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
As a self-proclaimed app icon-noisseur, I’ve followed Apollo from the sidelines for a while. I absolutely love all the great app icon variations Christian has commissioned for the app. (Photo from @BasicAppleGuy.) It’s sad to see Apollo go. As I noted, Christian was a...

random numbers from pcg32 at 200 Gbit/s

from Tony Finch's blog [alt+shift+b] in programming

4 months ago
One of the neat things about the PCG random number generator by Melissa O’Neill is its use of instruction-level parallelism: the PCG state update can run in parallel with its output permutation. However, PCG only has a limited amount of ILP, about 3 instructions. Its overall...

Twitter vs Instagram Threads: two different approaches to throttling

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
