Status Report - Week 20 2026

May 18, 2026

Real life

We had a very long weekend, and a friend of Lyla's came over from Paris for four days. They had a good time, and I had the "chance" of driving them to various places :-) Apart from that, it was a very uneventful week.

I finished Huge numbers, that was very good in the beginning - when it was about large numbers in real life - and then not as much, borderline boring - when it was about huge numbers we came up with "just because we could", like Fish number 7.

I barely ran - only 18.61 km - with the (far fetched) excuse that it's better to stay at home when we have people visiting than disappear for bouts of time.

Finally, I had a mediocre week at GeoGuessr, with 17 wins out of 36 duels. It was still enough to finish 4th in my Gold I group, and be promoted back to Master IV.

Open source

I spent most of my time working on servo, exploring the "fascinating" world of SVG and sending a few patches to packages servo depends on:

  • Support hwb to represent colors (patch)
  • Support actual angles in hsl/hsla (patch)
  • Support '/' as a separator for the alpha part of colors (patch)
  • Case insensitive font family matching (patch)

On the SourceHut front, I continued to build upon my in-review series to improve GraphQL support in the project hub:

  • Implemented an API to list public projects (patch)
  • Implemented APIs to manipulate a project's README (patch)
  • Start working on resource => project resolvers, which helped me
    • Find a bug in my in-review resource linking patch, and fix it
    • Fix an inconsistency in the profile page with regards to trackers versus other resource types
