I really wish that protobufs supported creating custom scalar types

Having some serious networking issues with @github.com today, pages loading for ~30-60 seconds, lots of requests failing, I can see their janky caching and turbolinks shit giving me old state and breaking the UI. Nothing on githubstatus.com yet though

Pride & Prejudice fans, have you ever wondered why no one contacted police when Wickham & Lydia ran off? Ignoring that it wasn't a crime at that time, it's also because the police didn't exist in 1811. They wouldnt exist for another 18 years Police are a modern invention and there are alternatives

Using named and themed color variables in our design system has been a massive quality of life improvement Tailwind wasn't quite as bad, but even that has improved dramatically More consistency, and less you need to remember. And we've added high contrast mode, so its actually covering 4 themes

When a candidate is called out for supporting Israel, Dems will say “This is what got us Trump! Let’s focus on the US! Stop with purity tests!” We’re talking about genocide Remember this when they promise to save you from fascism, they will feed you to the wolves and call you a single issue voter

It's shocking to me that Windows doesn't have an equivalent app as macOS Preview. Like what do you mean you need to download a separate app to sign a PDF? Why is Windows adding AI features when it can't do everyday things like this....

A lot of React libraries try making “core/dom” versions (well meaning, but used by no one & arent actually complete/well maintained standalone libs) that they wrap with a React API The problem is they tend to model things in a way that is unfriendly to React & you just end up with bugs & code bloat

It’s a lonely opinion but I can’t stand the song ‘Golden’ from K-pop demon hunters. It’s like they wrote the lyrics specifically for the kidz bop cover. I don’t understand adults that like this song

Yay, I built this, please enjoy:

I wish I could add constraints to groups of CSS grid template rows/columns. Like grid-template-columns: group( 1fr, // total for both [col-1] auto, [col-2] min-content ) [col-3] fit-content group( 1fr, // total for both [col-4] min-content [col-5] auto );

Building libraries of prebuilt animations has always been tough because they tend to be so fiddly But the new view transition API is so naturally composable. And with React’s new <ViewTransition> component I feel like I can imagine how to built a very customizable set of common animations

This little snippet made debugging view transitions a lot easier

Andrew Cuomo is racist and is running on a racist platform

People horrified and furious at the before and after photos of the white house… if you think that’s bad, you should see what israel did to Palestine

Sam Altman is just another tech grifter who will say anything to keep selling his grift and it will only become more and more apparent with time because grift simply cannot last forever

I hope we get some sort of media query for "Differentiate without color" github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

Are there any good Discord servers or something for people to discuss web accessibility?

Accessibility question For ::backdrop's (dialog overlays) that have a semi-transparent bg to obscure the page behind them: Should we make the backdrop more obscured for `prefers-reduced-transparency`? Like if the backdrop is black/40% should we make it black/80%? 100%? Should we blur the bg?

There should be a `fromIndex` parameter in `array.findIndex()` like the one in `array.indexOf()`: Exists: let array = ["foo", "bar", "foo"] array.indexOf("foo") // 0 array.indexOf("foo", 1) // 2 Doesn't exist: let fn = val => val === "foo" array.findIndex(fn) // 0 array.findIndex(fn, 1) // 2

GitHub allows you configure your pronouns that it shows on your profile which it also uses in some of the strings in the UI and makes accessible through the API It defaults to the value "Don't specify" but then it seems to either default to "He/Him" or tries to infer it based on your name

Being able to customize CSS accent-color is cool, but it would be really nice if we could use the system accent color in some of your own custom UI elements Privacy fingerprinting concerns seem like they'd be solved the same way as accent-color: auto or <system-color> (ex. Highlight)

Using backdrop-filter you can do this sort of swipe effect revealing contents behind the current element But I want this to work for the text changing its size and weight as a sort of "magnifying glass" effect I'm not sure how to accomplish that without any JS though codepen.io/jamiebuilds/...

Linux desktop users learn how to ask for help without being mean challenge

There's an argument that you never should be using Map<string, T> or Map<number, T> Plain JS objects as maps/records are waaay faster in all scenarios

With 1000 unique items: 33K op/s: new Set([...prev, val]) 199K op/s: new Set(prev).add(val) -- 6x faster Thinking it would be nice to just have a class like this: class ImmutableSet { ... add(value) { let copy = new ImmutableSet(this) copy.#set.add(value) return copy } }

I'm going through our components and making fixes to forced-colors mode I haven't found much for resources on how to apply system-colors to specific components/states. Any recommendations?

From what I’ve seen on various forums, I feel like AI is creating lots of junior devs who don’t know how to ask productive questions They’re asking big grandiose questions like “How do I build an Uber clone in Vue?” that asks others to do all the work in a way that wouldn’t teach anything

I think it’s helpful to remember that fascists, besides how destructive and cruel they are, are also just massive losers with no social skills It’s the same as school bullies. Movies get it wrong, it’s not the popular kids, it’s kids with no social skills who cope by being assholes

People falling in love with AI chat bots is one thing. I’ve read freakier shit on Ao3 But I draw the line at them pretending that the AI has a gender Obviously all AI chatbots are nonbinary. They’re in a queer polyamorous relationship

Bet: When AI companies start charging enough to make a profit, AI will stop being worth it for most everyday tasks At the same time, price increases will make people more critical of the actual output, leading to it being used less for important tasks AI will feel the squeeze from either side

It’s almost midnight and I was about to head to bed when I heard this drunk guy walking down the middle of our very quiet street singing (screaming?) Helena by My Chemical Romance at the top of his lungs Hell yeah brother

I just got a random "business development" spam call where someone asked me if I was the owner of jamie.build and they asked me "Why don't you build a proper website?" So rude lmao

If you're virtualizing a list view, be sure to always render whatever you consider the "first" and "last" item that should be tabbable So that if your focus is before/after the list and you tab or shift-tab, the browser will take you to the correct location Also helps with screenreader shortcuts

Random little react opinion: Don’t use built-in onEvent names as props with different signatures OK: onChange(Event) onValueChange(string) onFocus(FocusEvent) NO: onChange(string) onChange(string, Event) onChange(Event, string) onFocus(Event) onFocus()

@manishearth.bsky.social Random hopeful question: Once UTS #58 is published in Unicode 17 (assuming it will be), any plans to implement it in github.com/unicode-rs (or maybe github.com/servo/rust-url)? www.unicode.org/reports/tr58/ www.unicode.org/versions/Uni...

Opinions needed: If I'm writing a React UI library that provides a hook that needs to attach a bunch of events and other stuff, do people prefer: - Returning a props object to pass to the right component - Accepting a ref and adding events/mutating props directly

More people need to understand that most open source maintainers would move mountains for you if only you: 1. Are friendly and not entitled 2. Showed interest in helping however you can 3. Communicate your request clearly 4. Are respectful of their time (be brief/responsive) These cost you nothing

I wish git had a better mechanism for editing commit history, even just simple edits I’m imagining some new diff format for commit history itself that can be applied on a branch Then GitHub/etc could have PR-like flows for reviewing these changes/running CI instead of having forced pushes

Queer ‘discourse’ always gets bad around this time of year because the kids are out of school and all they’ve got is posting

Doing the hackiest shit ever because React Aria wants all the browser events to itself Might end up just writing our own versions of ListBox/GridList so we can move to Radix-UI

You know what? Hell yeah If bluesky is ever going to be successful, it will need more of these chronically online people starting shit for no good reason Great content, very entertaining, 10/10

Does anyone have ideas on how to handle scenarios where a user is in the middle of typing in an <input> then some <dialog> opens, and before the user notices, they've typed some character that does something in the <dialog> I want to handle this in a smarter way

Urbanists would be more successful in America if they incorporated more roller coasters
