I make websites, sometimes even for money. I then spend that money on things I prefer to own, such as groceries.

If I've followed you, it's because I'm figuring out how to trap you inside a tiny, magical crystal. If you've followed me, please do not attempt to crystallize me—that would be very rude.

Also, I made a browser game called Threeka! You can play it, if you want, at https://threeka.com

@Meyerweb ‍@media (prefers-reduced-eye-strain) and (after-sunset) 🤔

My best/worst #CSS proposal: a color-temperature media query for detecting whether a user's device has a blue light filter enabled (such as f.lux or Night Shift).

Probably worth pointing out that you shouldn't actually use this in anything serious. The way the moiré-like pattern appears to a user can vary *quite a bit* depending on their browser engine and display, so you can't guarantee a controlled experience.

Discovered this little #CSS trick by accident today.

You can play with the values to change how noisy or colorful the pattern is :)

@jensimmons There are plenty of good reasons not to incorporate LLM code gen into one's workflow, but one I haven't seen mentioned here is that I fear that relying on such tools will, over time, make me a worse developer.

Like, I crochet as a hobby. If I used a magic machine that did most of the crocheting for me, my skills would plateau and inevitably atrophy.

Programming is a craft like any other, requiring deep, consistent practice to get good and stay good. LLMs hinder that practice (imo).

@djwfyi It's not a newspaper, per se, but if there exists a US-based news source of record, I would wager it's AP News. Being a wire service (whose articles are published in virtually every paper in the country), they draw on a huge network of journalists, covering stories from around the world in a reasonably just-the-facts manner. Plus, you can read all their reporting for free on their website.

Reuters is similarly solid, though not based in the US.

@kizu Super interesting thread. I would be totally fine with it if the CSSWG moved forward with the two-value syntax by itself, if the goal is to eventually deprecate legacy inline-*. It would be tidier, and browser support will inevitably catch up.

Plus, I'm not really convinced by the "it will confuse devs" reasoning. Who are these mysterious CSS devs who are plugged-in enough to know about masonry, but don't read any documentation when they want to use it? But maybe this is naïve of me, lol.

In the early days of personal computing CPU bugs were so rare as to be newsworthy. The infamous Pentium FDIV bug is remembered by many, and even earlier CPUs had their own issues (the 6502 comes to mind). Nowadays they've become so common that I encounter them routinely while triaging crash reports sent from Firefox users. Given the nature of CPUs you might wonder how these bugs arise, how they manifest and what can and can't be done about them. 🧵 1/31
