The Firefox for Android app has always had a complicated build process - we're cramping a complex cross-platform browser engine and all the related components that make it work on Android into one package.

In the Mozilla Android team, we want engineers to talk with Product and UX more and hash out ideas sooner.

Working on the mobile Firefox team gives you the opportunity to touch on many different parts of the browser space.

Update: As of v0.39.0, tug is now built-in to jj as bookmark advance!

Resizing images with imagemagick is straightforward even if the tool comes off intimidating. magick input.jpg -resize 1024x output.jpg The 1024x is a "geometry" argument that says, "make the image 1024 pixels width for any height".

When you want to edit YAML front matter in bulk on markdown files or similar, the tool yq works for this with similar syntax to jq for JSON query/transformation.

We travelled to Colombo, Sri Lanka for the first time this year and it felt like a lost opportunity that we didn't do that more often when we lived closer in that region.

Folks have asked me why I've been running marathons, and since tomorrow I will be running the Toronto Waterfront Marathon course for the first time, I thought I'd write it out here to remind myself.

A small pet-peeve with fetching the latest main on jujutsu is that I like to move all my WIP patches to the new one.

Like other blogs, this section is also inspired by Simon Willison’s til.

I did it - finally restarted this blog!

Firefox has support for keyword search in the address bar, which is handy during development at Mozilla.

A lot of Mozilla mobile product development is now hosted on Github, which is what many of our contributors prefer as a platform too.

I wrote this a while back in November 2017 while learning Erlang even earlier in February, but I’ve finally got around to posting it.

When the re-write of the std::io module landed in Rust 1.0.0-alpha.2, there were a lot of changes to the way you read/write to a file.

When writing tests in Cargo, you sometimes need to debug failures and print statements are a great way to do that.

I finally got down to writing this post after settling down back at university wth a proper schedule.

You always want your copy of remote in your local repository up-to-date.

When dealing with network APIs that use JSON, I find myself constantly converting objects from one form to another for data manipulation or storage.

I was playing around with creating UUIDs for adding uniqueness in a project, so I started reading the spec for creating one in the RFC 4122.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS recently launched so I decided to give it a spin on a spare SSD I had (I'm not a fan of desktop VMs).

Today I joined DigitalOcean and created my host server which they refer to as "Droplets".

In my current project, I'm currently working on making an Android client send simple HTTP GET requests for data to a web API.

I've been looking for a way to remotely access my media securely using ownCloud but I could never get myself to sit down and do it.

*Warning: My opinion is quite biased since I own a BlackBerry and having interned there as well.* With the BlackBerry 10.2.1 release a new security feature called Picture Password was added.

I'm an avid Hacker News reader, and in doing so I came across one of Aaron Swartz's old blog posts called Office Spaces.

This is going to be a ongoing post that's updated over time since I'm sure I'll run into things I need to add later.

Note: This is for the foolish and lazy side of you Twice I've come across a situation where I've messed up local master branch before I merge my topic branch.

I had to write a couple of shell script which required me to execute a part of the script by passing a flag.

So I've been running into the problem off late on Mac OS when using an HTTPS proxy and then using git over https.

I've come across this situation where I start a project and push it to a personal git server, but eventually change my mind and decide to push those changes to another git server like Github or the university servers.

I was messing around with XCode today, and found out clang++ that's available with XCode 4.5.2, already has the C++11 standard available even though g++ still doesn't. jupiter:tmp jonathan$ clang++ --version Apple clang version 4.1 (tags/Apple/clang-421.1…

The code: Youtube embedded code works just as fine in Markdown.

I recently bought a ThinkPad T420s since the battery of my Dell Studio started to slowly die on me.
