🚨BREAKING: Someone is finally challenging Google's grip on the web.

In 2026:
→ Chrome = 65%+ market share
→ Edge, Brave, Arc, Opera = all Chromium
→ Firefox = under 3% and dying
→ Safari = Apple-only

Google doesn't just dominate browsers. They control the engine.

Ladybird is building a completely independent alternative:

→ New rendering engine
→ New JavaScript engine
→ New WebAssembly
→ New everything

No Chromium. No Google. No strings.

59.8K stars. 1,240 contributors. BSD-2-Clause license.

The web's first real competition in a decade.

Anthropic is guilty of stealing training data at massive scale and has had to pay multi-billion dollar settlements for their theft. This is just a fact.

Well, it has happened. Ghostty on macOS now has search. This is now in tip releases, I'm certain there's a bunch of polish and bugs to work through over the next months, but more than enough time for it to be rock solid for 1.3 next year. GTK to follow soon. Gobble, gobble. 🦃🦃

Announcing @ChromeDevTools MCP! 🚀

Connect your AI coding agent to Chrome's powerful automation & debugging capabilities with ease.

Key features:

✅ Reliable automation: It can programmatically handle clicks, form fills, dialogs, and page navigation with ease.

✅ Performance insights: Go beyond simple audits. Instruct your agent to record a performance trace and extract actionable insights to optimize your web apps.

✅ Advanced debugging: Empower your AI to analyze network requests, list console messages, take screenshots, and even evaluate scripts in the browser context.

✅ Browser emulation: Easily test different conditions by emulating CPU slowdowns, network throttling, or various screen sizes.

Works well with modern web apps and believe this will unlock new workflows for automated testing, AI-driven debugging, and interactive web development.

And there's much more to come!

Something no Indian wants to admit...

India produces 1.5M software engineers yearly, while China 1.3M and USA 200k.

Yet..
America: Google, Apple, ChatGPT.
China: Deepseek, TikTok, Alibaba.

Not even one big tech from India.

What's wrong? Are we dumb or only good as employees?

In 2024, Rafael Nadal walked away from his $150 MILLION Nike deal.

But instead of signing with Adidas or Puma.

He chose a no-name brand that made shoes for retirees.

Here's what was more important to him than securing generational wealth: 🧵

Letter-dropping physics comparison: o3-mini vs. deepseek-r1 vs. claude-3.5 in one-shot - which is the best? Prompt:
Create a JavaScript animation of falling letters with realistic physics. The letters should:
* Appear randomly at the top of the screen with varying sizes
* Fall under Earth's gravity (9.8 m/s²)
* Have collision detection based on their actual letter shapes
* Interact with other letters, ground, and screen boundaries
* Have density properties similar to water
* Dynamically adapt to screen size changes
* Display on a dark background

China trained a model called DeepSeek-v3 that’s better than OpenAI GPT 4o with a small fraction of the budget and open sourced it. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill is in the works in America to impose severe restrictions on open sourcing frontier models.

Java first came out with a suite of tools that was ahead of its time. You could package your software, document it, and so forth. Over time, some of the very best environments were built to serve the Java ecosystem. But it turned into a curse.

Yesterday, I'm setting up a simple benchmark for my blog post using JMH. Sounds like child's play, right? Wrong. What followed was an epic saga of build system wizardry. I spent 10x more time on the build setup than on the code. Look at the screenshot, pay attention to the necessary `<arg>-processor</arg>`? Want to build and run...

mvn clean install && java -jar target/benchmarks.jar

Why the arcane ritual? Gradle came along, promising a new dawn. But alas, it seems just as complicated.

Let us compare with C#/.NET. We find the same XML... but I can hand edit these files with relative ease (except for the silly hash codes). And once you got it working, you can just do...

dotnet build
dotnet test
dotnet format
dotnet run

Adding a dependency?

dotnet add package

You know what the equivalent is in Go? Want to write a benchmark? Write the code. No config file. No dependency. Just 'go test -bench .'.

I'm no novice. I can write my own CMake build files for C++, I've setup Cargo for Rust, programmed in Python, JavaScript. Ocaml. It always seems simpler, faster, better. Yes, even Python seems better despite all the complaints.

Basically, almost everyone spent a whole lot of effort simplifying the builds so that it is easy, reproducible, understandable, debuggable.

You should not need hundreds of lines of XML code to build a project unless it is a massive project, like your own Web browser or operating system.

But Java? It stands alone. Instead of simplifying the build, it sought to hide it under graphical interfaces. So, when you need to peek under the hood, Java's build systems feel like a labyrinth designed by a mad architect. It's not the autoconf/automake nightmare, but in this age of instant build setup, Java's build ecosystem feels like a relic, a monument to complexity overthrown by the very simplicity it once championed.

Maven and gradle are good at failing with mysterious error messages that only a C++ compiler can surpass.

Big news! The Epic Games Store and other app stores are coming to the Google Play Store in 2025 in the USA - without Google's scare screens and Google's 30% app tax - thanks to victory in Epic v Google.

Why people constantly complain that they don't understand pointers? Pointer is just an index in a global array of bytes that we call "memory". What's the problem?
