I Fight For The Users
If you haven’t been able to keep up with my blistering pace of one blog post per year, I don’t blame you. There’s a lot going on right now. It’s a busy time. But let’s pause and take a moment

Goerli Long Term Support Update
March 18, 2024 update: The Dencun network upgrade successfully activated on the Ethereum mainnet on March 13, 2024. As per the original wording of this announcement, this would imply an April 13, 2024 sunset date for the Goerli testnet. That said, as of this writing, **[nearly all Goerli...
Introducing llamafile
We're thrilled to announce the first release of llamafile, inviting the open source community to join this groundbreaking project.

Millions of new materials discovered with deep learning
We share the discovery of 2.2 million new crystals – equivalent to nearly 800 years’ worth of knowledge. We introduce Graph Networks for Materials Exploration (GNoME), our new deep learning tool that dramatically increases the speed and efficiency of discovery by predicting the stability of new materials.
Application Open for Next Billion Fellowship Cohort 4
Decades from now, there will be many stories to tell about the early days of Ethereum. We will remenisce about how a peculiar and powerful technology began to change the landscape of trust on the internet. Some will remember being skeptical, while others may claim to have known all along...

The week saw over 3,500 participants from diverse backgrounds come together from November 13-19 at the Devconnect Cowork in the Istanbul Congress Center, and many more join the 70+ deep-dive events organized by independent...
Chris’ Corner: Good & Useful Ideas
I was ogling the idea of Exit Animations recently, that is, a recent proposal for (something like) @exit-style which could allow us to animate elements as we remove them from the DOM. That is largely just a proposal at the moment, with many challenges ahead. But there is new tech that helps with exit (and […]

I’ll keep using to represent the Vision Pro until Unicode adds a VR/AR headset emoji, and there’s nothing any of you can do to stop me!
Introduction to visionOS
The Vision Pro and visionOS present a new paradigm in computing. This is the beginning of spatial computing. Users will be able to view apps floating in front of their eyes and they will be able to interact with them with taps, gestures and their hands. This learning path will survey the various types of apps that you can build for spatial computing. We’ll explore building windowed apps; running existing iOS and iPad...
Chris’ Corner: Monaspace
I’m a sucker for a new coding font. I generally don’t think what coding font you use affects productivity in any significant way (unless it’s distracting) so farting around and switching it up is just a fun little thing to do. Like pushing around the furniture in your room or taking a different bike route […]

Beyond Borders - Unveiling Potential of Blockchain in a Crisis
Crisis is a cruel teacher. It can draw us together in our shared fragility, but paradoxically it can also distance us from our shared humanity. In times of great crisis, the institutions and structures of society that are supposed to protect and support us may become twisted, corrupted, or rendered...
Chris’ Corner: Galleries, Grids, and GreenPrimaryDark6
Footer.design is a pretty fun gallery site, itself, of course, with a pretty weird/bold footer. I’ve designed my fair share of footers over the years and it’s certainly an area where you just wanna look at like 50 footers before you start in. See what other people are doing. Can you be clever? Should you […]

Chris’ Corner: Buttons, Modes, and a Couple of Layout Situations That Are Still a Bit Tricky
If you ever need some inspiration for buttons, definitely check out Lucas Bonomi’s buttons.cool. This is a better-than-it-needs-to-be one-off site just for beautiful buttons: But it’s not just a design gallery, it’s made for front-end developers in that you can see the code, see them being live-rendered right on the page, and of course, the […]
Update 2 - Preparing for Devconnect Events

Secured #6 - Writing Robust C - Best Practices for Finding and Preventing Vulnerabilities
For EIP-4844, Ethereum clients need the ability to compute and verify KZG commitments. Rather than each client rolling their own crypto, researchers and developers came together to write c-kzg-4844, a relatively small C library with bindings for higher-level languages. The idea was to create a robust and efficient cryptographic library...

A glimpse of the next generation of AlphaFold
Progress update: Our latest AlphaFold model shows significantly improved accuracy and expands coverage beyond proteins to other biological molecules, including ligands.
Chris’ Corner: Considering Code
I enjoyed Stefan Baumgartner’s 5 Inconvenient Truths about TypeScript. I like some philosophical hard-truths from someone who is clearly pretty close to the technology. It doesn’t “fix JavaScript”, it’s complicated, and ironically, it’s not truly type-safe. Every team is going to have to do their own math on whether they find it worth it or […]

Chris’ Corner: Fresh Type
I like the feeling of a good fresh typeface. Like design itself, type design has trends, and without being able to articulate it particularly well, I feel like I can feel a fresh type look from a stale one. That’s probably the thinking of an amateur, and I’m sure the world’s fanciest designers probably used […]
