Google Search is over – at least as we know it. Instead of links, we’ll see AI agents that generate answers directly. Whilst this sounds convenient, there’s a catch: the sources are obscured and publishers continue to lose search engine traffic. Google won’t compensate for this – its business model is to exploit content for its own gain.
Anyone publishing independently has long needed a model beyond Google: newsletters, donations, paid content.

Postgres is a great pub/sub & job server
If you need a publish/subscribe or job server at any point in your project, try using Postgres. It'll give you lots of data integrity and performance guarantees, and it doesn't require you or your team learning any new technology.

I did all of my original SI simulations for the SFP28 front side launches using only layer 1 signal and layer 2 ground plane, ignoring everything deeper in the board.
Some of you asked if the ground plane voids needed to extrude all the way into the board. Does it matter?
For the BGA launch, at least, the answer is in: there is a measurable effect in simulation, but it's minimal. Return loss of the launch is better than -20 dB in both configurations so I'm not going to bo…

This demo does the same without WCAG violations:

The Radio State Machine | CSS-Tricks
One of the best-known examples of CSS state management is the checkbox hack. What if we want a component to be in one of three, four, or seven modes? That is where the Radio State Machine comes in.

'That contract is now broken. Generative UI doesn’t link to your article. It absorbs your article, synthesizes it into a widget, and presents it as Google’s own answer.'
Let that sink in (and read the complete article first.)
Let this be Google's "altavista" moment.

Finally, part 3. Long and winding, but that's because there's no easy answers, just soup.
