This is amazing, can’t wait to have it

TIL recap: Did you know that incorrectly applied ARIA roles can nuke semantics entirely? The standard rule applies: if you're reaching for ARIA, make sure you know what you're doing.

For some UI elements closing behavior should be built in. A modal closes on `ESC`, but on mobile a native gesture (e.g. Android's swipe) can jump the browser back into history. How do you catch these? That's what `CloseWatcher` is for.

TIL Firefox and Safari ship "quirks files" with site-specific fixes for sites that break in their browsers.

Thanks to Chrome's monopoly, testing in other browsers is often forgotten. And if things don't work, blame goes to the browser.

Browsers Treat Big Sites Differently

Safari and Firefox change how big sites render based on the domain. TikTok, Netflix, Instagram… even SeatGuru. Chrome doesn’t. Why is that?

The current state of AccentColor/AccentColorText:
4 browsers, 4 different color pairs

From left to right: Chrome 148 (stable), Chrome 150 (canary), Safari, Firefox.

- No browser uses the actual accent-color value (Sep 2025 spec change)
- Chrome removed support, but is re-adding it with a hardcoded blue and automatic AccentColorText
- Safari hardcodes blue and seems to always resolve AccentColorText to black? Yikes.
- Firefox actually uses my OS accent color and automatic AccentColorText

Here's a strange situation:

thousands of #Rust developers use #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy-regex every single day — tools I wrote, maintain, and improve for free.

Their companies, though? None of them want to hire their author.

If you use my tools at work and your company does #Rust, I'd really appreciate a hand landing a job or freelance mission. A boost goes a long way. 🙏🦀

POV: why do companies still scale so badly? Now it needs a big restructuring leading to unhappy people.

Back to less layers of management and modern squad/team structures who own the entire process is just the right thing.

Mythos finds a curl vulnerability

yes, as in singular one. Back in April 2026 Anthropic caused a lot of media noise when they concluded that their new AI model Mythos is dangerously good at finding security flaws in source code. Apparently Mythos was so good at this that Anthropic would not release this model to the public yet but instead … Continue reading Mythos finds a curl vulnerability →
