Me: [gasps!] My last Heroku app: [Grandpa Simpson voice] Hm?? What’s that? What’s happening? Me: Oh, nothing.

sizes="auto" landed in Firefox 150, making responsive images simpler and more reliable. Here's when you can use it, and how…

Beyond the art direction and responsive loading... <img>-as-poster would allow video posters to have their own accessible name. Which – great!

Just gonna put this out there: is anyone, especially in the PNW, perhaps looking to adopt a high-energy dog?

When I was working on the responsive image client hints, we talked about fingerprinting as an abstract threat.. it’s really something to read through a thorough breakdown of a big, real example: browsergate.eu/how-it-works/

> In the end [JPEG XL] is just a codec and the the main purpose of it is to allow you to forget that there *is* a codec – and to just use images. For me [codecs are] very interesting at the technical level, but the goal is to just make images work seamlessly. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t2w...

Temporal is now Stage 4 at TC39 🎂🎂🎂 Thanks to all the other champions of JavaScript's new date-time API. It has been a wild ride over many years! I wrote a blog post explaining how we got here 📜 bloomberg.github.io/js-blog/post...

'Twas a time when there was nothing about the lower-levels of the web stack that Google couldn't re-think and push to the whole industry. This is the Apple-iest possible version of that. Hope it's more QUIC than AMP. Or maybe it's just tiny tweaks? I'm so curious! www.apple.com/studio-displ...

Implementing some old math... you know the math’s good when the paper describing it opens like the Declaration of Independence *and* they didn't know how to spell.

A fun thing about the OKLCH color space is that it's easy to specify colors that are impossible to see or create. “Imaginary” colors; purely mathematical constructs that don't represent anything about the human experience of vision. Fun! observablehq.com/d/af510b6715...

In all of my (dashed) excitement about getting sizes=auto into Interop I'd missed that Vincent Hilla over at Mozilla submitted a Gecko patch! phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D281911 Needs significant revision; might have revealed the need for some spec clarifications; GREAT NEWS

@yoav.ws In github.com/Shopify/auto..., you use Largest Contentful Paint as a proxy for "images have been laid out". I've been setting a ResizeObservers on each image and responding after the first non-zero layout size. This also prevents gBRC from triggering a layout I think? Thoughts?

Blink: Intent to Prototype: Lazy loading for video and audio elements

It looks like style() container queries are enabled in @firefoxnightly.bsky.social - this is one of the features I'm looking forward to most. Especially with range queries starting to roll out. @ container style(--progress > 80%) { background: green; } bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi...

Ok... the time is near... let's all visualize github.com/web-platform... being closed accepted... envision it... imagine it... together, we can *do* it... we can manifest it! I believe in us!!!

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated! But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in? What feels more natural to you, A or B? (it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)
