98% Isn’t Much: Reliability Thinking for the Web

98% support sounds reassuring until you multiply failures and remember that “most” isn’t the same as your audience. This post explains why percentages mislead in web engineering and shows a graceful degradation pattern for features like CSS nesting using @supports and reliable fallbacks.

From Pen Strokes to a Magical Diary: Building an AI Response on reMarkable

You can turn a reMarkable into a “magical diary” by converting pen strokes into a committed PNG image, sending it to a vision-capable LLM, streaming sentence-by-sentence, and replaying the reply as handwriting ink. The experience works because display updates and animation are engineered for low perceived latency.

Car Touchscreens Are Cheap—And That’s the Real Problem

Car touchscreens can improve flexibility and some usability, but many automakers adopted them primarily for cost and software-defined control. The result: less tactile, more menu-based operation for functions that used to be handled with muscle memory.

Building a Real-Time Map of Great Britain’s Rail Network (Without Losing Track of the Data)

Real-time rail maps combine static geospatial geometry with streaming train updates, rendering moving markers smoothly on top of cached map tiles. This article walks through the pipeline, rendering approach, and performance pitfalls that make live train visualization feel reliable.
