While developing for Mythic, I was updating the page ordering from a plain, static alphabetical sort to a user-defined custom ordering. At first blush this would seem to be a fairly straight-forward problem to solve. Slap an order number column onto the database and you’re done. However, to avoid performance bottlenecks and data type issues, it ended up being a little more complicated than that. Here’s how I used a Stern-Brocot tree to implement an easy to use custom page ordering feature.| Philip Renich | Blog

A few days ago, I looked at an unused domain I owned — balham.org — and thought: “There must be a way to make this useful… and maybe even make it pay for itself.” So I set myself a challenge: one day to build something genuinely useful.

Picking the technology stack for a project is an important and consequential decision.

Before settling on the project to implement a full accessibility cache in Firefox, I investigated several other alternatives. In my last post, I discussed asynchronous accessibility APIs. Another alternative I considered is switching to UI Automation and having the UIA tree accessed directly in web content processes, rather than communicating via the main UI process. While this is not possible with IAccessible2 because of browser sandboxes, it could theoretically be possible with UIA because ...| Jantrid
Accessibility API queries are generally synchronous: each query blocks both the client and the server until the query completes and returns its result. This causes significant challenges for modern, multi-process web browsers, requiring them to cache the accessibility trees from all other processes in the main UI process. This raises the question: why not make accessibility APIs asynchronous? As usual, there is a theoretical/principle answer and a pragmatic answer. Let’s start with theory. ...| Jantrid

I’ve missed the ability to quickly browse with the keyboard and customise keybindings.

Here is a confession: I am a very strong proponent of a robust test suite being perhaps the single most important asset of a codebase, but when it comes to auxiliary services like admin sites or CLIs when it comes to testing I tend to ask for forgiveness more than I ask for permission.
