The new WebExtensions Community Group will try to forge a common architecture for future web extensions, and is inviting developers to join the effort.

The new group, shortened WECG, consists of members from each of the major browser developers. Member chairs are held by Timothy Hatcher of Apple and Simeon Vincent of Google. Current participants include employees from Apple, Mozilla, and Microsoft.

The WebExtensions Community Group has two goals:

• Make extension creation easier for developers by specifying a consistent model and common core of functionality, APIs, and permissions.
• Outline an architecture that enhances performance and is even more secure and resistant to abuse.

A magical full-stack framework for Django ✨

Wait, is this magic?

• Unicorn progressively enhances a normal Django view, so the initial render of components is fast and great for SEO.
• Next, Unicorn binds to the elements you specify and automatically makes AJAX calls when needed.
• Then, Unicorn dynamically updates the DOM.

The end result is that you can focus on writing regular Django templates and Python classes without needing to switch to another language or build unnecessary plumbing. Best of all, the JavaScript portion is a paltry ~8 KB gzipped.

This is the story of the most unbelievable demo I've been given in world of open source. You can't make this stuff up.

The data economy depends on violating our right to privacy on a massive scale, collecting as much personal data as possible for profit.

You may think to yourself: “I’ve done nothing wrong, so I have nothing to worry about, nothing to fear.” You’re wrong. Does everyone who can access your data have your best interests at heart?

Of course not. That’s why you keep your credit card number to yourself, and why you have a lock on the entrance to your home. If you don’t go around giving your email account password to strangers, then you shouldn’t go around giving away your personal data.

The more companies know about you, the more power they have over you.

Figma has a lot of advantages compared to Adobe XD or Sketch. It's a browser-based interface design tool that is cross-platform and works in any browser and OS, providing the ideal environment for real-time collaboration with other designers and team members.

Apart from its collaborative functionalities and its capacity to create interactive prototypes, export code, graphics and complete layouts, with the help of plugins, Figma can extend its features further - such as the automation of time-consuming tasks.

You can grow your blog in two ways:

1. Get more traffic.
2. Do more with the traffic you have.

In my opinion, you should do both even though most people focus on the first option.

Interactive content is a huge opportunity that’s still in its infancy. If you ever wished you discovered something before everyone else adopted it, this is it.

You probably noticed that not all types of interactive content is easy to create. I don’t recommend you try to create all of the types at the same time. Pick one or two that fit well with your audience and website, and focus on perfecting those.

Prosus NV said it struck a $1.8 billion deal to acquire Stack Overflow, an online community for software developers, in a bet on growing demand for online tech learning.

Prosus, one of Europe’s most valuable tech companies, is best known as the largest shareholder in Chinese internet and videogaming giant Tencent Holdings Ltd. Listed in Amsterdam, Prosus signaled its appetite for deal making when it sold a small portion of its equity stake in Tencent in April for $14.6 billion. The Stack Overflow deal ranks among Prosus’ biggest acquisitions.

Developers deal with technical debt every day, and they know how to prevent and manage it better than anyone else. Here’s just some of what they had to say.

Plenty of people have written about technical debt. They might be discussing it in the context of improving velocity, code churn, code refactoring, or it might just be an item on a very long to-do list that never gets prioritised.
