Chrome is really tightening up the security game here. In Chrome 66 it will untrust Symantec-issued SSL/TLS certificates, after Symantec has repeatedly screwed up by wrongly issuing certificates for domains, including google.com itself.

The React Native bridge is the hub where communication between the Javascript and the Native world happen. Optimizing and catching unexpected (bad) communications can make or break your performance. Being that central and sensitive place, it made sense to have tooling built around it. Snoopy is a profiling tool for React Native, that lets you …

Alex Somers, partner of Sigur Rós’ Jónsi, has created the music for the Black Mirror episode “Hang the DJ”. I really like the album Alex has created for this episode. Next to “Into Place” and “Out There” the track “End” (featuring Sigur Rós) really stands out: Feels like classic Sigur Rós / Jónsi. Listen on …
