Sneaky Header Blocker Trick • Josh W. Comeau

There is a lil’ UI detail on this blog. Most people don’t even notice it, but the ones who do often reach out, asking how on earth it works. It feels like it defies the rules of CSS! In this blog post, I’ll break down the surprisingly-straightforward implementation so you can start using this trick yourself.

✍️ New post: The Shape of Friction

Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

SpaceX To Start Small With 1 Million Satellite Plan, Pushes Back On Critics

The company's rebuttal to the FCC mentions launching orbital data center constellation in phases, and studying potential atmospheric impacts. SpaceX also threw plenty of shade at Amazon.

It is incredible to me that stuff like this is possible now with a few lines of #CSS only.

See it live: https://grooovinger.com/notes (on screens smaller than ~1000px the year is inlined without an animation though)

Did we come up with a standardized "No AI was used to create this work" badge yet?
@mittelgrau yes, I guess this would work as long as the first 6px are in the preferred color 🙃
