Hacks.Mozilla.Org: Why is CSS so Weird?
CSS is the design language of the web — one of three core web languages — but it also seems to be the most contentious and often perplexing. It’s too easy and too hard, too fragile and too resilient. Love it or hate it, CSS is weird: not quite markup, not quite programming in the common (imperative) sense, and nothing like the design programs we use for print. How did we get here?
I’ve seen some people claim that “CSS is for documents” — as though HTML and JavaScript weren’t also originally for documents. The entire web was for documents, but that hasn’t stopped us from pushing the medium to new extremes. This is a young platform, and all the core languages are growing fast, with CSS advancing leaps and bounds over the last few years.

Mozilla Addons Blog: Friend of Add-ons: B.J. Herbison
Please meet our newest Friend of Add-ons, B.J. Herbison! B.J. is a longtime Mozillian and joined add-on content review team for addons.mozilla.org two years ago, where he helps quickly respond to spam submissions and ensures that public listings abide by Mozilla’s Acceptable Use Policy.
A software developer with a knack for finding bugs, B.J. is an avid user of ASan Nightly and is passionate about improving open source software. “The best experience is when I catch a bug in Nightly and it gets fixed before that code ships,” B.J. says. “It doesn’t happen every month, but it happens enough to feel good.”

Docker, some notes
We converted webcompat.com to Python 3, which included reconfiguring a couple of things on the server itself with nginx, uwsgi and so on. Let's say modernizing everything. As an aside, I would say that our unit tests made the code conversion to python 3 quite smooth. That was a good surprise. In the process, I started to wonder if it would make it easier for us to switch to Docker and containers. These are my notes trying to educate myself about the topic. They are probably naive for some of the readers but might be useful for others. They will also become handy for this 2019Q4 OKR.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
