Discord Engineers Add Distributed Tracing to Elixir's Actor Model Without Performance Penalty
Discord engineering detailed how they added distributed tracing to Elixir's actor model. Their custom Transport library wraps messages with trace context and uses dynamic sampling to handle million-user fanouts. CPU optimizations included skipping unsampled traces and filtering context before deserialization, recovering 10+ percentage points of overhead.

The new, experimental Web Install API is now in Origin Trial in Microsoft Edge and Chrome. The API allows developers to programmatically trigger a PWA installation prompt from in-app user interactions. The API aims to simplify software discovery and distribution, particularly for users who are unaware of the install icon in the browser’s address bar or do not typically use app stores.

Hannah Foxwell began her QCon London 2026 talk by noting that the long-sought velocity in development has arrived, but the industry is unsure how to use it. She set aside the technical details of agentic coding, focusing instead on its implications for the people working with these systems.

Hi Nsubuga,
Thanks to the web, I came to Mbale for a virtual visit! Here's a little of what I saw:
JCertif is just around the corner. So, here's one route from Mbale to Brazzaville. Google Maps doesn't always give the most direct route.
So, meanwhile...back to Mbale. I see the clock tower and it looks like a nice city center:
I also see some breathtakingly beautiful topography, like the Wanale Ridge:
So, there are a few places I saw. Actually, many more with the help of the web. It looks as though you're in a very beautiful part of the world. Glad to have you here at Codetown. I hope you do some exploring, too.
All the best,
Michael
