Waiting for light-dark to support <image> in all browsers? It's possible to emulate fairly easily: #CSS #DarkMode

I miss the old days, back when people talked about "my agent" it was because they were in the entertainment industry...

I don't understand the hype around Chrome's responsive iframes feature. It only sets the size on load, so anything which changes the size after that causes the size to be wrong. …

When you forget the term "callout" and instead write "Give the link more big click energy"...

Thank you for this gift, Apple. Auto-updating the Mail app, and then requiring an import step that fails. Good job 👍

What's missing from SVG on the web? 🔵 Styling external SVGs 🔵 SVG/CSS integration 🔵 Text layout 🔵 Performance 🔵 Better animations 🔵 Responsive sizing/scaling 🔵 Better reuse 🔵 Programmability and geometry ergonomics 🔵 Interoperability and evolution 🔵 Accessibility

patrickbrosset.comPatrick - What's missing from SVGI asked around and analyzed a few different sources of developer signals on the topic of SVG, and here are the recurring themes I found.

Designer herding with reverse psychology: Feigning interest in one design in order to get designers to choose the design you actually want. 😅

Call me naïve, but I think the Web should be making it *easier* to create accessible UIs than inaccessible ones. Instead, once you go beyond the basic primitives, the platform is a minefield: the obvious thing to do is rarely accessible, and devs must jump through hoops to make it so.

To whoever decides who kicks the bucket: I'm sure there's another 80+ year old that should've been before this one...

TypeScript is to JavaScript, as XHTML is to HTML. XHTML was abandoned bc it was brittle.

Ryan@rschristian.dev

It's still incredibly pleasing to run through old projects converting TS into JS + JSDoc. I made the decision to cut out TS (excluding `.d.ts` files, they get a pass) from all my personal projects years ago and I'm still very much convinced that's the right move. TS as an authoring format ain't it.

Whenever I make something really cool involving SVG filters in one browser - it'll have some minor bug or performance hitch in a second browser. And in a third browser it'll just not work at all (most often Safari)... Every. Damn. Time. 😩

To install a PWA on iOS, you have to: - Navigate to the site - Open the menu - Click "share" (wtf!?) - Click the SECOND "more" ellipsis icon (not the first!) - Click "add to home screen" - Click the "Add" button This is, to me, unacceptably byzantine. Just deliberately hostile on Apple's part.

“...Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” ― Bruce Lee #NotATypeScriptUser

Desktop: “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Some people seem to think that desktop use is dying - and use it as an argument for dropping desktop support. Ruling out desktop is too soon. #MobileOnly is not #MobileFirst. Inclusion over exclusion. phloe.co/dev/mobile-f...

Newly published tests show a Chromium/Blink engine running on iOS is 28.6% faster than Safari in Speedometer page responsiveness tests. 🏎️💨📱⚡️ This is a clear example of the costs Apple imposes on consumers and businesses, costs created by its 17-year ban on competing browser engines. 🧵👇️ (1/8)

Replayed Playdead's Inside yesterday for the first time in a couple of years - I thought. It was 10 🤯. Timeless masterpiece. I had a big grin on my face playing the latter part of the game with that marvelously f*cked up human blob. For a game without faces, it sure has oodles of character. 11/10

That is totally the math I would expect from someone wearing a diaper. 👌

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Can we just appreciate, that now when a brogrammer yells "SKILL ISSUE!" - it's just a markdown file that needs fixing. 😅

Mental note: do not put `content-visibility: auto` on stuff that has content that may change to `position: fixed` 🫠
