WCAG 2.2 Data Tables: Sorting, Filtering, Keyboard Navigation

WCAG 2.2 Data Tables: Sorting, Filtering, Keyboard Navigation

The short answer: build an interactive data table with semantic HTML (<table>, <thead>, <th scope="col">), add ARIA attributes (aria-sort, aria-live, aria-controls), and wire up keyboard handlers that enable sorting, filtering, and cell-by-cell navigation without a mouse. Done right, the result satisfies WCAG 2.2 Level AA, works for sighted users, screen reader users, and keyboard-only users, and needs no framework dependencies .

This guide walks through the markup, the ARIA attributes, the JavaScript event handlers, and the performance trade-offs you hit once your dataset gets large. The reference patterns come from the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices Guide sortable table example and the grid pattern .

sched_ext: Write a Custom Linux Kernel Scheduler in eBPF

sched_ext (SCX) is a Linux kernel framework that lets you implement CPU schedulers in eBPF and hot-swap them at runtime without rebooting or recompiling the kernel. It merged into mainline in Linux 6.12 and matured through 7.0, which tightened its interaction with the default EEVDF class. On any distro shipping a kernel with CONFIG_SCHED_CLASS_EXT=y, loading a new scheduler takes a single command, for example sudo scx_loader --start scx_lavd, and you confirm it is active by reading /sys/kernel/sched_ext/root/ops.

Best-Selling Mechanical Keyboard Switches of 2026

Best-Selling Mechanical Keyboard Switches of 2026

The Keygeek Y2 linear is the best-selling mechanical keyboard switch of 2026. Based on aggregated sales data from keyboard shops and manufacturers, the Y2 overtook the Sillyworks x Gateron Type R to claim the number one position. Linear switches dominate the rankings with 7 of the top 10 spots, silent switches keep growing, and Keygeek has cemented itself as the top brand by sales volume.

Python Monorepo with uv Workspaces and Ruff: Complete Setup Guide

Python Monorepo with uv Workspaces and Ruff: Complete Setup Guide

uv workspaces give Python a Cargo-style monorepo setup. You get one lockfile, one virtual environment, and auto-resolved inter-package dependencies. Cold installs finish in seconds, not minutes. Pair uv with Ruff for linting and formatting, and the pair replaces Poetry, Black, isort, flake8, and pip-tools in one shot. The rest of this post covers workspace setup, inter-package deps, Ruff config, CI, publishing, and the traps that snag teams moving off older tools.

Systemd Services from Scratch: Write, Enable, and Debug Custom Unit Files

Systemd Services from Scratch: Write, Enable, and Debug Custom Unit Files

Build a solid systemd service by writing a .service unit file in /etc/systemd/system/ with [Unit], [Service], and [Install] sections, then enable it with systemctl enable --now. Add resource caps, security sandboxing, and auto-restart so the service stays up. Then use journalctl and systemd-analyze security to debug it. Systemd v260 is the current stable release, and it ships on every major distro.

Why Systemd Unit Files Beat Init Scripts

Many developers still write shell wrapper scripts to run their apps. A 30-line bash script juggles PID files, log setup, restarts, and privilege drops. That’s a lot of code just to keep one process alive. A systemd unit file replaces all of it with a short, declarative config, often under 20 lines.

Cheap AI Tokens Are a Scam Where Your Prompts Are the Product

Cheap AI API resellers undercut official prices by 70 to 97 percent because the discount is not the product: your prompts are. They log every request to resell as training data, route you to weaker models, and run on stolen-card accounts. A CISPA Helmholtz audit caught silent model swapping, but the harvested logs are the real margin.

Key Takeaways

  • A 90 percent discount on frontier AI is funded by reselling your prompts.
  • Proxies can send an “Opus” request to a cheaper model and relabel it.
  • Many reseller accounts come from stolen cards and faked identity checks.
  • Pointing a coding agent at an unknown API host hands a stranger your machine.
  • Official APIs and zero-retention gateways are cheap enough to skip the scam.

Why is a Claude or GPT API 90% cheaper from a reseller?

A frontier model has a hard cost floor. GPU time per token is a real expense, and the official provider already prices it close to the bone. So a reseller charging one tenth of that loses money on every call, unless something else pays the bill. The discount cannot come from being smarter about compute.
