1/ Artificial language:
Latino es lingua internationale in occidente de Europa ab tempore de imperio romano, per toto medio aevo, et in scientia usque ultimo seculo. Seculo vigesimo es primo que non habe lingua commune. Hodie quasi omne auctore scribe in proprio lingua nationale, id es in plure lingua neo-latino, in plure germanico, in plure slavo, in nipponico et alio. Tale multitudine de linguas in labores de interesse commune ad toto humanitate constitute magno obstaculo ad progressu.
💡 CSS Tip!
Ready to start using style queries and if()? Which of the following syntaxes do you think is the correct one? Spoiler: Both of them are valid!
Learn the difference between them and when to use each one. It's the key to correctly using these features.
@jensimmons @mia Indeed, many folks forget (or weren't aware) that web apps existed long before javascript became ubiquitous. As far back as the mid-to-late 90s, we had fully web-based apps for email, live chat, online banking, stock trading, tax prep, mapping and directions, and enterprise apps of all sorts. (And they were usable even over slow dial-up internet connections.)
Fun fact, the original branding of Hotmail (pre-microsoft acquisition) emphasized the letters H T M L in their logo.
I'm #colorblind and I use https://xkcd.com/color/rgb/ frequently.
Randall 'xkcd' Monroe did a survey of over 100,000 readers where he showed them random rgb colors and said "what would you call this?" and afterwards he did his best to sort the results into the most popular color names and the colors they refer to.
It's like a box of Crayola for the internet. Finally, my colorblind self can grab a sample of "dark magenta" that doesn't just look like "grape purple" to everyone else.
The data is freely available as a .txt file under CC0, which I've converted into a .css file here: https://git.hatspace.net/nycki/nycki.net/src/branch/main/static/xkcd.css
so now when I want a color on my website I can just write `color: var(--xkcd-off-white)` or so on. it's really convenient :)

Something I made back in November but did not have the time to finish. DOOM on an oscilloscope because… why not?
It is rendered in full 3D with occlusion and back face culling, rendered as an array of 2D lines, deduped and ordered to create the most optimal path. Then turned into sound.
