A generic object pool in SwiftThe object pool pattern is a creational design pattern. The main idea behind it is that first you create a set of objects (a pool), then you acquire & release objects from the pool, instead of constantly creating and releasing them. 👍Why?

Modals have been an important part of websites for two decades. Stacking contents and using fetch to accomplish tasks are a great way to improve UX on both desktop and mobile.

Over 1 billion people around the world speak varieties such as Indian English, Nigerian English, Irish English, and African-American English. Speakers of these non-“standard” varieties often face discrimination in the real world. They’ve been told that the way they speak…

Live video changes the pressure on a streaming business. Unlike on-demand shows, live events do not allow for retries, quiet fixes, or delayed updates. If something fails, viewers notice immediately. Over the past year, Netflix has been reworking how it handles that risk by building live streaming directly into its core cloud systems, rather than treating it as a special case.The shift matters because it shows how cloud infrastructure is moving from a background utility into an operational layer that shapes how work gets done day to day. For Netflix, cloud is no longer just where content is stored and…
