Miriam (still): "For the last 4 years, I got to…" - Front-End Social
For the last 4 years, I got to spend most of my time on #CSS specs. I had a lead role in cascade layers, container queries, & scope (all shipping) – now responsive type & mixins/functions. I hope to keep at it, but this is open-source work, and (like many others) my funding was suddenly cut this year. So I’m looking for sponsors. For now, @OddBird will fund what we can. If you or your company would like to help, you can also support that work through Open Collective: https://opencollective.com/oddbird-open-source#category-ABOUT

The "8-Bit" era of the late '80s brought video games into the home with systems like the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Game developers of the time produced iconic games and introduced genres that are still with us to this day, while working with hardware that had serious limitations. This talk will explore how NES developers created more with less, looking at techniques used in professionally-developed NES games to handle physics, collision detection, randomness, data compression, and more.

"All About Regular Expressions" by Jade Allen (Strange Loop 2022)
If you write software, you probably use regular expressions frequently in your code, in developer tooling and even maybe in database queries.
But where did they come from? How did the token ^ come to mean "the start of a line"? You might know that "PCRE" means "Perl Compatible Regular Expression" but why is Perl singled out? And maybe you're aware that the developers of golang were originally wary about including regular expressions in their language design. Why? Are regular expressions - gasp - dangerous?
In this talk we will examine the historical origins of regular expressions and various implementations of regular expressions in programming languages old and new(er). We will discuss why some regular expressions are "bad" and how inefficiencies can be avoided or minimized.
