It has been 0 days since people in the comments were wildly mistaken about the costs required to create a competitive / perfomant / compatible / non-toy web engine and browser.

This might not be the most British thing I've discovered recently, but if not, I think it's pretty close: https://youtu.be/53w9E774fGE?si=8NGjNDvYKszzA0M0

Great job, everybody. We did it. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/canada-has-lost-its-measles-elimination-status/article_bd8dcb66-00f7-48b5-b071-16ffc4c4ae91.html

Everyday I'm reviewin'

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@mconley/115504649290025068 Oh wow, now I can quote.

Do I, or anybody following me, know anybody working at #CIBC bank on any of their web software teams? I have a web compatibility bug to report to them.

Here's a palate cleanser: https://www.ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/article/northern-ont-polar-bear-chows-down-on-a-massive-pumpkin/

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 419! Come join me while I #Livehack on #firefox ! This week, we're going to make a concrete step towards the idea we started exploring last week, by cleaning up the "hand-off" search input on newtab to be simpler. Starts at 1PM ET […]

Works done and it's pitch black outside. *sigh* Just under 2 months until days start getting longer.

Here's my good friend and bandmate Barn covering Buddy Holly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FkLvX0oVno

Just a reminder that there was a time change for some of us last night, so there's a bit of discombobulation layered on top of the normal discombobulation.

Welp, shit.

SPORTSNET WHY

May the better team win this World Series.

Maybe I am over-simplifying the relationship... but I'm amazed that honeybees aren't more pissed off.

I want LA Dodgers fans, and Americans in general, to understand: the Dodgers are a _very very good team_. Extremely skilled. One of the best in the league. They're just not _the_ best. #torontobluejays #ladodgers

At long last, The Joy of Coding returns with Episode 418! Come join me while I #Livehack on #firefox ! I... have no idea what I'm going to work on when we get there. I have lots on my plate today. Maybe we'll review patches! Maybe we'll keep hacking on that extension! Maybe we'll fix some bugs […]

Welp, #sportsnet picked a heck of a time to go down.

The Dodgers' pitchers glove kinda makes it look like he's holding a bunch of bananas. #ladodgers #torontobluejays

If I was Specsavers, and I'd paid for this behind-the-plate ad... I'd ask for my money back. #torontobluejays #ladodgers

Ontario folk: updated flu and COVID vaccines are now generally available. https://www.ontario.ca/vaccine-locations/ #toronto #ontario

Pulled this one out of the memory hole. If your bass player can't make it to practice, just use your mouth. https://youtu.be/6DQxCes1J8c?si=l76lUVdoE2omFDUo

Some real characters in the SkyDome crowd tonight.

The Paranoid Style in Modern Software Usage

Omg stick it in my veins #bluejays #dodgers

A good chunk of #canada is absolutely _main-lining_ this spanking of a baseball game. #bluejays #dodgers

#bluejays absolutely dominating in the 6th. This is crazy.

Bring back Microsoft Bob, you cowards.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, or maybe I'm not being charitable enough... but Firefox has had scrolling tabs since forever. By default. Ben should know this. How is that "the most major leap forward in browser tabs since Chrome"? What are they huffing over there? Are they okay? […]

Tired: Getting nerd-sniped Wired: Getting nerd-hit-by-a-meteorite

Well gang, due to things outside of my control, I'm afraid I can't stream today again. Planning season! I'm going to do my darndest to not have an event slide into my calendar next week. Stay tuned!

Of course. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/eglinton-crosstown-lrt-testing-stopped-source-says-two-trains-collided/article_7f436f03-0120-4957-9a22-a2481511e180.html

Oh so it was DNS

Special shout out to the SkyDome grounds crew that got the ALCS championship awards stage / platform up in like... 15 minutes?!

Semper fiber

What do logicians call it when only _one_ of a pair of them is good at videogames? Modus Nintendo Pwnens.

The Joy of Coding is off for one more week due to unavoidable meetings / travel, but _should_ be back next week! Excelsior!

The pyrolitic self-cleaning function on our oven terrifies me. The heat that's supposedly contained in this box when in this state is.... substantial.

But the US doesn't need anything from Canada so it's all good. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/13/business/canada-trump-tariffs-trade

Strike-zone level: expert https://youtube.com/shorts/Jel-2-JkXKU?si=GvyxFI4ynI0uaC5E

I think the world is finally ready for Google Stadia and Quibi.

I learned about Banana Ball this weekend, and it's fantastic.

A staggering number of Americans don't seem to realize that their brand has _dramatically_ soured inside of Canada. "Made in the USA" is now basically synonymous with "Crap from Crapville". https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cold-shoulder-canada-costly-american-132944160.html

Holy shit, Rush is going back on tour! https://youtu.be/koiX_Wspatw?si=Knhq492PKKVQvhB9 Anika Nilles is a great choice. Incredible chops: https://youtu.be/Zae4Vo6Mx8I?si=2vulMsRH2j4qiZvN /cc @ddurst

Another dead hero of mine. https://kenparkerarchtops.com/ I've proudly played my Parker for over 20 years. It has never failed me, and I've never considered replacing it.

Yeah, maybe it's a bit reductive, but Plato's Allegory of the Cave might just be a long-form way of saying "if you know you know".
