I'm afraid due to some unforeseen planning meetings, I will not be able to stream today's episode of The Joy of Coding. I'll try again next week. Until then, courage!

Happy Media Literacy and Healthy Skepticism Day to those who celebrate!

Well, yeah, of course. I'm not certain if my American followers fully realize how much they've pissed off a bunch of Canada. I detect a deep sense of betrayal and anger from my fellow Canadians. We also have long memories, and we tend to get the job done […]

Currently falling in love with the Jujutsu version control tool.

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 397! Come join me while I #livehack on #firefox ! Today, I'm going to be studying a new version control system, "Jujutsu", which is able to use a Git repository as a backend. There are a number of Mozillians who sing its praises as a superior […]

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 396! Come join me while I #livehack on #firefox ! Some of our documentation changes for CustomizableUI bounced last week after we attempted to land them. We need to investigate and get this buttoned up. After that, we're going to continue our […]

If you're not from Ontario, or maybe not even from the Toronto area, you've probably never heard of Pizza Nova. This is a local pizza chain with a jingle that goes much harder than it needs to. https://youtu.be/KGXpNpS9aTY?si=tCQmr14qQR3ovuIG

I should have mentioned while grocery shopping this weekend - plenty of eggs on the shelves in Toronto. https://www.npr.org/2025/03/18/nx-s1-5330454/egg-shortages-record-prices-usda-canada

Grocery stores trying to make it easier to spot products that they assert are prepared in Canada:

Just came back from grocery shopping here in Toronto and this is consistent with my observations. Lots of USA products marked down and just sitting there rotting. Plenty of Canadian, Mexican and European alternatives available […]

The table has so many things on it, that I think at this point, it's probably faster to list what is _not_ on the table. https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/doug-fords-surcharge-on-exports-of-electricity-to-the-u-s-remains-on-the-table/article_6e0316ea-00cd-11f0-9838-ebab305c1219.html

After a few weeks of hiatus due to travel, The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 395! Come join me while I #livehack on #Firefox ! We're in the final stretch of our documentation project. Let's rebase our patches after ~1 month away, keep documenting, and also check-in to see what's […]

When I write the acronym "np" in response to someone, to say "no problem", I sometimes worry that at first glance, the characters looks like I'm saying "no". Imagine if you said "Hey, that's great - thanks for your help!" and the response that came back was just "no".

Exquisite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LzhCLzfJFg #canada

A reminder that, due to travel, there will be no episode of The Joy of Coding this week! I should be back with Episode 395 next week!
