I think `animation-composition: accumulate` is gonna see more action with `random()`, as it's like "take what you already got as a value and augment it rather than replace it".
Here's a parallax thing where randomly-fixed-positioned stars are moved different amounts (with a scroll-driven animation)

Imagine Loom, but for storytelling 🎬
I built Screenity Pro for creators who want more than just a screen recording. Make multi-scene edits, zoom on click, switch layouts, add captions and templates — then share it with a link.

If you want to drive a car that makes more than 70dB of tailpipe exhaust noise, you have to pay a monthly premium levy to the local EPA, and you aren't allowed to drive it between 10pm and 7am.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Finally a good reason to get an apple
Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?
It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Actually hilarious joke, but impossible to pull off lol
i once tried “strong opinions, weekly held” as a joke but half the readers didn’t notice the spelling and the other half must’ve thought i can’t spell

I gave a talk earlier this year at the internal Microsoft Performance Symposium called "Five True Things", and the goal was to convey some really basic properties about computers today. A short thread to recap them:

An eight-point plan to free Europe from American dominance
A world where Europeans don't have to call Trump "daddy" is possible, but it requires urgent and confident action. Here's how we get there.

Microsoft released a new terminal text editor! It's called Microsoft Edit, it's open source, it's tiny (about 250KB Rust binary) and it works cross-platform. They built it for Windows 11 - I've been trying it out on my Mac and it's a nice alternative to Vim or nano simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/21/...
![Screenshot of alpine-edit text editor interface with File menu open showing: New File Ctrl+N, Open File... Ctrl+O, Save Ctrl+S, Save As..., Close File Ctrl+W, Exit Ctrl+Q.

And again people love Apple for something that was there before. And no, at least this time, it's clearly as bad, if not much worse
I like the idea that there's nothing left to innovate and we're just slowly rehashing products from the past.
