Retaking the web browser, one small step at a time
(andregarzia.com)
Browsing the web is a 3D tug-of-war between developers, companies, and users. These forces were never balanced, but we have reached quite a lowest point for users in the last decade. Our beloved web browsers feature roadmap has catered more for web developers and the companies behind each browser project than for the user themselves. We used to call those apps User Agents, but they have been less of an agent on behalf of users these days.

Wislist for Linux from the mold linker's POV
(kernel.org)
I'm the author of the mold linker. I developed mold for speed, and I think I achieved that goal. As a ballpark number, mold can create a 1 GiB executable in a second on a recent 32-core x86 machine. While developing mold, I noticed that the kernel's performance occasionally became a bottleneck. I’d like to share these observations as a wishlist so that kernel developers can at least recognize potential areas for improvement.
