Choosing Between gzip, Brotli and zStandard Compression
HTTP compression is a mechanism that allows a web server to deliver text based content using less bytes, and it’s been supported on the web for a very long time. In fact the first web browser to support gzip compression was NCSA Mosaic v2.1 way back in 1993! The web has obviously come a long way since then, but today pretty much every web server and browser still supports gzip compression.
It likely comes as no surprise that third party content can be a significant contributor to slow loading websites and poor user experience. As performance engineers, we often need to find ways to balance requirements for their features with the strain that they can put on user experience. Unfortunately, for many sites this becomes a reaction to slowdowns and failures detected in production.
A.I. trained on private user data never really 'forgets'
Turns out, it’s nearly impossible to remove a user’s data from a trained A.I. model. Deleting the model entirely is also difficult—and there’s little regulation.

I really, really, REALLY hate accessibility audits. Okay, maybe I should clarify. I really really REALLY hate getting generic accessibility audit reports that companies pay a lot of money for but don’t produce useful results. Maybe I should explain. So when my place of employment (at the time of this writing) was asking, “hey some customer asked for a thing called a VPAT, do you know what that is?” I was really interested at the opportunity to weigh in. Okay, so I’ve ended up doing the audits for our public accessibility conformance reports(ACRs); while it’s not as satisfying as writing new linting rules, strategizing about Continuous Accessibility, or crafting new design system components that are accessible and have great documentation, it has been satisfying because I’ve been able to undo some of the irritations I’ve experienced in the past.
