ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to @manishearth.bsky.social on unflagging TC39 Stage 3 Temporal in V8 today. Heading for Chrome 144 🎉

By many metrics this new date-time API is the single biggest change to JS ever 🔥

V8 uses Boa's temporal_rs by @jason-williams.co.uk Kevin Ness & Manish 👍

It's impossible not to get emotionally invested in CSS bikeshedding. The anticipation is so intense:

In #11243 we ended up resolving to: Re-use the grid-* properties for templating and explicit placement. Adopt the item-flow proposal (in principle) for flow control. See #11480 With that context, I...

I ♥︎ Affinity because they were first to break Adobe's grip. The acquisition by Canva wasn't a shock, as the company has obvious value, but my impression of Canva's latest move is that they view the product purely as freemium bait for their AI offerings. If that funnel fails, will they kill the app?

Remember, half an hour of time writing a long email about how a tool does not have the features you needed can save you several minutes looking at the docs page whose title is literally those features.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

Amazing—this episode of Rust in Production with Alexandru Ene revealed that Amazon Prime Video is using (a fork of) Leptos for the UI of their streaming app for smart TVs:

This 'boolean vector logic' in TS—with complex partial inheritance—leads to endless type rabbit holes. For me, it really validates the approach in #RustLang.

// Construct a type with the properties of T except for those in type K.

The same set of text shadows in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Brutal. #css
.neon-pink-text { color: #fff; text-shadow: 0 0 7px #fff, 0 0 10px #fff, 0 0 21px #fff, 0 0 42px #f100dc, 0 0 82px #f100dc, 0 0 92px #f100dc, 0 0 102px #f100dc, 0 0 151px #f100dc; } The words "Level Up" in white on a dark gray background, with white and magenta shadows creating a neon glow effect. On Chrome, the outer portion of the shadow is diffused and blended. On Firefox, the outer portion of the shadow is more distinct, like a blobby outline, and on Safari, every shadow introduces a raster effect with a visible step.

I'm looking to hire someone to help me build KCL! It's a programming lang for 3D design that we're making at Zoo. You'd be working closely with me on the KCL interpreter, the CAD API it calls, and our mechanical engineers. This is a Rust-heavy role. DM me any questions. zoo.dev/jobs/4619187...

Safari SVG filter bugs completely sap my energy. Just slowly, inexorably, progressing from "this effect is incredible!" to "my head is now on the desk..."

My favorite thing in the entire world is when a company puts all of the settings for their app on a single, scrollable page.
