HTTP is a streaming protocol at its core. It enables video streaming & complex web pages without loading entire files. This data flow doesn't need to be fragmented. We can apply this principle to represent any arbitrary data stream, potentially replacing WebSockets for real-time updates.
You might not need Websockets
Websockets are powerful tools that have become a fan-favorite for building realtime applications, but you might be using them for all the wrong reasons. Let's explore the pitfalls of websockets and ho...

Remember those Pebble smart watches? Some people never forgot! Thrilled that Google open sourced the Pebble watch source code today so this enthusiast community can keep rolling. (Also Hacker News is happy?! That deserves cake.) opensource.googleblog.com/2025/01/see-...
See the code that powered the Pebble smartwatches
The source code for the Pebble operating system in now open, to support the volunteer community maintaining Pebble watches.

Linus is my secret to reading for a long time. When I start reading a technical book he rests on my leg so that I can no longer move, in this way I can read much more. Thanks Linus 🐾

I use SCRUM in my personal life! My partner and I adapted it with 3-week sprints, nightly check-ins, and goals aligned with our values like minimalism and sustainability. It’s streamlined trips, life projects and daily tasks, helping us prioritize, stay organized, and make life less overwhelming.

This morning I did something different from tech. My passion for gardening took the lead. I enriched the soil with manure and compost and then planted red garlic. There’s something about working with nature that clears and relaxes my head.

The thing I love about Pkl is that I can make illegal config unrepresentable. For example, CloudFormation resource names have constraints and those can be encoded into a type. This enforcement makes it so I don't have to wait until deploy to discover I made a mistake.
