From 2-min dev server starts to 2s ⚡
We rewrote MDN's entire frontend, ditching the React SPA for Lit web components, server components, and Rspack. The result: less JS shipped, scoped CSS, and a build pipeline that just works.

Take a Joy-Con and connect it with WebHID, draw a picture in the air and capture it with the sensors. Create an SVG path and insert in the DOM. Apply CSS styling. Sample the DOM and use WebUSB to convert to ILDA and send it to a laser projector.

The 'Paperwork Flood': How I Drowned a Bureaucrat before dinner
Educating accessibility overlay companies from the inside doesn’t work.
This is what Chris Yoong tried: he joined an overlay company, checked the product, put together a presentation to explain why it was harming people. They could have pivoted. Instead, they decided to double down, and changed their rationale to keep the same for profit. In case you wondered.

Listen up, fellow honkies. You don't come for a mid-tier oldhead rapper. ALL HE HAS IS STANS.
The Grammy-nominated rapper Afroman has won a defamation lawsuit filed by seven Ohio sheriff’s deputies who sued him over music videos that used home security footage to mock them over a 2022 raid of his home. The verdict Wednesday evening follows several hours of deliberations. The Adams County deputies say they were publicly harassed over the videos. They show rifle-wielding deputies busting down his door, searching his shoes and eyeing a cake on the kitchen table, inspiring the song, “Lemon Pound Cake.” The 51-year-old Afroman, born Joseph Foreman, says the verdict is a win for free speech rights. No charges were filed in the drug and kidnapping investigation.
