It's not that I mind AI written vulnerability reports for .NET, but there are a few problems we're seeing 1) Simply submitting the output from your favourite AI without testing the code it says demonstrates the vulnerability is bad. (1/4)

I built a procedural medieval island map generator using Wave Function Collapse on hex grids. 4,100 cells, 900 possible states per cell, 60fps on mobile. Wrote up the whole process with lessons learned. Links below 👇 #threejs #webgpu

Weekend progress. Everything is faster, smoother, and the code is a bit cleaner. I also managed to break all the previous links by fiddling the URL format, so I consider that an excuse to post more screenshots instead of blogging about it. fractious-deep.web.app?x=-0.7780236...

Ah, I see your problem. You were running `npm ruin build`.

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you Square One. I loved this show when I was a kid.

Been meaning to blog about my fractal app, so naturally I spent the time implementing Bluesky and Mastodon comment integration on my site instead. Frontmatter in the markdown for a parent URL + search for mentions of the blog/demo URLs. What to procrastinate on next? rowan.fyi/posts/modern...

Just another test. Nothing to see here. rowan.fyi/made/bouncy-...

It seems we can now customize the select element, right? right?! Demo: codepen.io/t_afif/pen/P... via @codepen.io

Did you know you can just come talk to the people who help shape how the web works? If you're in London, the W3C Technical Architecture Group (TAG) is hosting a panel discussion this Wednesday evening. Well worth it if you're interested in getting involved in web standards! ti.to/web-standard...

Starting a war when your ratings are in the toilet is a well-trodden path which is why I'm concerned Starmer will lemming-like push the UK into Iran as well.

You can find the slides of my #SotB2026 talk on my blog: www.bram.us/2026/02/28/a...

Missing out on all the lovely #SotB people and content as I'm too sick, but I'll watch the tag to really 10× the FoMO 🥹 Say hi to my teammates @bram.us, @tunetheweb.com, @nmarkoborodova.bsky.social, @oliverdunk.com, Nour, Tara, and Milica!

Genuinely heartwarming to see a clear victory for a progressive party focused on the obvious core problem of wealth inequality. And, of course, a decisive "no' to ineffective neoliberals and the far-right racists. I really hope this is a turning point for the country.

The Sanitizer API landed in Firefox 148, along with element.setHTML(). This lets you fully configure how HTML strings are cleaned as they're parsed. hacks.mozilla.org/2026/02/good...

Dug into the code and it's super readable! 🎠 Lots of @function and if(), so Chromium-only for now. Anyway, here's the 16-bit xor to peruse: github.com/rebane2001/x...

i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript) you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS lyra.horse/x86css/

So why are parents who want their kids to be vaccinated, not actually doing it? the number one reason is because they can't get an appointment that they can make. Rates are lowest, by a huge amount, in Westminster, Enfield, and a number of north London boroughs where median income is lowest.

Yeah hi I'll have a burrito con carne but please don't make it

Every track on this album works so well. Perfect Sunday listening; somehow cheery and lonely at the same time.

This is so slick! Entertaining and infuriating.

I've been experimenting with an upcoming CSS feature called border-shape lately. It's really cool what you can do with it: lots of practical applications + it opens a lot of doors for non-rectangular UIs! Try it in Canary w/experimental web platform features on, & read more: una.im/border-shape

Added rotation to my #fractious Mandelbrot fractal app, along with perf fixes. May still melt your phone GPU a tad. https://fractious-deep.web.app/?x=0.26191327970041753964330296532508034616673931&y=-0.00194220793165611798532672004953713178625703&zoom=2.312274455312779e-22&r=-2.394&h=0.850&s=1.000

If you're trying to blend in to a New York city bar today then the answer to, "Are you here for the game?" is not, "Ooh, what game?"

Inordinately pleased at the Wasm + WebGPU update to my Mandelbrot fractal explorer #fractious. Time for a blog ... if I can only stop exploring. https://fractious-deep.web.app/?x=-0.7569364699741323936729191198143282&y=0.0667069783277772162678229886840805&zoom=1.3488617652421354e-14&h=0.600&s=1.000

Periodic reminder that what's marketed as 'youth social media bans' actually amounts to requiring people to provide personally identifying information in order to access whatever content a given government disfavours.

Last 4 tickets. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. 2026.stateofthebrowser.com #SotB2026

The recent days have been horrific. We can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. It's even worse when public officials are blatantly lying in ways that contradict dozens of pieces of video evidence.

Neat exploration of the various sandboxing and permission control techniques you have on the web when running any untrusted/third-party code (not just LLM-generated).

Ok, so getting a proper deep zoom implemented on #fractious is turning out to be immensely satisfying. I've got a whole bunch of interaction to fix, but the core and the performance is there.

Chrome 145 (current beta) includes the column-height and column-wrap properties for multicol. These let you wrap columns onto a new row, rather than overflowing inline. This is something I've wanted to do in multicol for years! developer.chrome.com/blog/multico...

So good ish news www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Wow—just watched #MartySupreme at the cinema. Went in knowing nothing beyond Timothy does take tennis and it was incredible. Obviously had to slap the soundtrack on as soon as I got home.

Two true things: 1. The UK government has a secret block list that can and does block sites for the entire country—this is bad. 2. Blocking Twitter would be objectively hilarious.

The fault in our SPAs

Used the egg slicer to chop an egg like that guy in Resident Evil when he goes down the laser corridor.

After @rreverser.com made some suggestions I decided to go on an all-day vibe coding bender to get a Wasm / WebGPU combo Mandelbrot fractal generator. This is super early so it's a bit stuttery, but this is rendering on the fly as I scroll and my little Chromebook isn't even overly beefy.

We have created a #SotB26 starter-pack of Speakers and Organisers. go.bsky.app/Di7jHyZ We'll others involved soon.

APIs like PaymentRequest, FedCM, Secure Payment Confirmation et al help move the web platform to a more secure and private place. If that interests you then this is an opportunity to join a talented team ⤵️

Wow, this feels clean and light. Lit-based web components and Eleventy to build. Immediately added to home screen.

I'm glad to see this pressure on Google and Apple. If any other company was running an active CSAM generator in public you better believe it would have been removed from their app stores by now www.wired.com/story/x-grok...
