Server is running at absolute zero. That's good right?

TIL you can use scientific notation for numbers in CSS.

For example, "-3.4e-2px" evaluates to "3.4 x 10^-2" pixels or -0.034 pixels.

A screenshot from the MDN docs for the <number> expression from the CSS language specification. It reads: Valid numbers 12 A raw <integer> is also a <number>. 4.01 Positive fraction -456.8 Negative fraction 0.0 Zero +0.0 Zero, with a leading + -0.0 Zero, with a leading - .60 Fractional number without a leading zero 10e3 Scientific notation -3.4e-2 Complicated scientific notation

The two buttons meme. In the top panel a white gloved hand hovers between two buttons, one labeled "Typing Very Long Master Password" and another labelled "Opening MacBook To Scan Finger-print". In the bottom panel a chisel-jawed man in a red spandex suit and white gloves holds a handkerchief to his forehead which is dripping with sweat.

It's pretty good as far as usages of a given meme format go, but is it as good as this?
A recursive combination of the Geordi and Drake pointing memes.

A helpful breakdown of costs
A bar graph titled "Cost and usage graph" above a table titled "Cost and usage breakdown". The graph has a single bar titled "May 2025" showing $424.88. The table has only one row titled "Total costs" $428.88. This is not very helpful.

Some of these islands would make great locations for geocaches. You know? Just saying.

FTFY
The words “meetings are bad” are displayed on a computer screen in a home office. Closer inspections reveals the word “Bad” has been scrubbed out from before the phrase in a poor quality image edit.

I absolutely love Laravel Herd by Beyond Code (@marcelpociot.bsky.social @idontcare.lol @dianawebdev.bsky.social et al), but am I the only one who has trouble reading the dump logs because of the low contrast colours? I can't find any way to set it to dark mode or otherwise customise the colours.

Meanwhile here's Australia's highest point, Mt Kosciuszko in the Australian "alps". (Photo not mine)
A picture of a walkway leading up to the summit of Mt. Kosciuszko, Australia's tallest mountain. The ground is covered in yellowish native grasses, with a few boulders strewn about and patchy snow in the distance. The sky is blue. The horizon is quite flat.

DeepSeek Prompt: "Draw a Penguin as an SVG"
An SVG image of a penguin as drawn by DeekSeek LLM. It is pretty good. Identifiably a penguin, with a black head, eyes, beak, a black body with a white belly and yellow feet. The wings are correctly shaped but awkwardly orientated with the shoulder joints protruding outside the body and the wings angled inwards.

I literally took my daughter to see the dying stages of Putricia’s bloom at the Royal Botanic Gardens here in Sydney last night!
