I’m really proud of this talk and I hope you’ll watch it. I put care in to making it approachable while still delivering my perspective and insights to security professionals. If you don't get the "why" behind passkeys, this talk will help fill that gap. [2/2] www.youtube.com/watch?v=otOb...

Safari 26.1 arrives today. What does this bring developers? Many improvements to Anchor Positioning. A refactor of how WebKit handles CSS Units, bringing relative units (rlh, ic, cap, cqw, cqi, cqmin, cqmax) to SVG for the first time. And many other fixes.

I’m sure the rollout could’ve been done better, but the level of change was always going to generate a massive level of complaint.

It’s disappointing to see the experts in the media talking about the BOM site upgrade.
It’s not good for the design industry when it’s geography and agricultural experts talking about website design.

Wanna share something nice:
After the News Corp & neo-Nazis misquoted me on Charlie Kirk, I got an email from someone calling me reprehensible.
I emailed back to explain what happened, gave them the context I gave to the journo, and the emailer changed their mind.
It's not all bad out there!

Alternatively, I did notice a few of the journalists covering ANU, studied at Canberra University. I didn’t think the rivalry was that bad, but any chance to bring down the tall poppy?

It seems much more personal with ANU.
From what I’ve seen, Bell inherited the problems, but could have handled them better. I don’t think sacking the VC (or Chancellor) changes anything significantly for the ANU.
Perhaps the staff and students feel more attached to the ANU, than UTS? Or maybe 🤔
