Nice article about css, layout and constraints. pavpanchekha.com/blog/why-css...
The idea of constraints always felt more natural fore than whatever css proposes (ok, flexbox is not too bad).
When people ditch constraints because they have issues, I'd like to point that css have their issues too.

I'm eventually trying jj seriously.
If you want to do a git rebase but resigned yourself to use merge because rebase caused you too much pain in the past, then you should check jj.

I'm just a simpleton with a humanities education but I'm almost in this camp. The contemporary programmer enjoys fewer avenues for emphasis than Gutenberg. Why does authoring code mostly lack the sophistication of headings, boldface, footnotes, endnotes, appendices, and so on?

It wasn't deep. It didn't have much to say. But Xiao Xiao inspired millions to try Flash animation for themselves.
A Beijing artist made this series -- and turned stick fights into a phenomenon. We're exploring why and how he did it:

A dev team commissioned me to lead a training course on animation and creativity on the web. It would have been strange to lead a training course on "creative" development and web animation without a presentation tool being part of the theme!

Can anyone recommend JS libs that have a good approach to managing Wasm/WebGPU/WebGL resources?
We have more options these days (FinalizationRegistry / `using`) but I’m curious how people are making use of those in libraries.
