“We’re giving away a million dollars and/or free chips for a year if you scan this QR code” does not alleviate my economic anxiety for some reason.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

So, this is a long shot, but: I'm looking to hire a developer/programmer for my non-profit arts org for ongoing part-time maintenance and troubleshooting work on a proprietary database that's coded primarily in VB[dot]net. (I know, long story, it is what it is.) Would appreciate leads/reposts!

My polecats are burned out. They all quit their jobs and are getting really into sourdough

You know those cute TikToks where parents leave their babies on the grandma and grandpa's doorstep then ring the doorbell and hide... I do that but with my github repos.

My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP. I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility. I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

Wanna come work with me? ngrok are shortly going to be posting a position for someone to take ownership of our video content, focusing on well-researched, well-presented AI educational stuff (a la ngrok.com/blog/prompt-...). If that sounds like your cup of tea, my DMs are open 🙏

Wild how far you can push "customizable select" with just #CSS nerdy.dev/nice-select

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Day-after-day working here, I slowly begin to lose my grip on reality and start believing my darkest and most intrusive thoughts... "I can fix Azure Dev Ops..."

RE Chunked CSS in Web Components. The folks from Microsoft are working on a CSS `@sheet` proposal to allow style sharing across component instances declaratively. github.com/MicrosoftEdg... Some of the finer details are currently being ironed out at the CSS Working Group.

Hey, um… get off X. They monetize societal division and amplify hate. Posting content there gives people a reason to stay and you enable their brainwashing and revisionism. One of the greatest things you can do right now is help unplug the billionaire machine and eject from the attention economy.

It's always struck me how little empirical evidence there is that AI actually saves time, given how widely accepted the idea seems to be. No company has more motivation to prove it than Anthropic—yet their own study confirms the speed gain is not only insignificant, but carries *steep* penalties.

As someone who drags video calls and browser tabs to my little 1024x600 teleprompter, I have a brief PSA: You can write a veritical media queries. Like any time you want. You can just put it in there. Shrink up your UI. It'll be fine.

Still the greatest video ever made. Sorry. I don't make the rules...

@elgato.com hey dudes, why is the stream deck software so bad? my device crashes nearly every day. i went all in on elgato because i thought the ecosystem would be a better experience... but instead i got three 800MB apps running all the time and stuff barely works.

Ok. so. I went to bed very early last night. Great. One problem. Now I can’t find my glasses. They’re not in the usual places. I must have put it in a weird place. Shit. Thats bad because it’s very hard to find little thin bits of black plastic with vision impairment.

TAPE: Interesting take on project management software. Many projects, one board. Projects are one column. Status indicated by color. Collapase projects into a multi-colored progress-bar. Billed as "for creatives". Ain't gonna lie, this appeals to my brainspice. aeriform.itch.io/tape

Awesome episode! Thanks for the shout-out @davatron5000.bsky.social! Any time you and @chriscoyier.net want to chat about web components DX, I'd love to come on (I know, I know, it's the nerdiest of topics).

Good job, Schumz. These goons and this administration have an excellent track record of obeying the law. Lmao.
