The Federal Circuit has reversed ND Cal on Oracle v. Google, finding that Android's use of Java APIs was not a fair use. If anybody has any questions about the opinion or the case I'm happy to answer them.

Mozilla is working on a tool that will enable "blind" code reviews in which gender, location and other details are hidden from the reviewer.

I'll be watching this. (h/t @david_ross)

"How to Read the ECMAScript Specification" is itself formatted like a specification. It's pretty interesting, kind of meta, and surprisingly funny.

Here's a user stylesheet snippet you can use to replace hamburger menus with hamburgers:

.fa-bars:before {
content: "🍔" !important;
