“Ugliest of all”
I recently updated my Apple devices to the new (and ugliest of all) OS version, 26.2, and I noticed a weird issue on a website I am working on: the hero section was suddenly not centered. I found a solution, but I probably discovered a Safari CSS calculation.

I found a solution to a CSS issue, but I probably discovered a Safari CSS calculation bug along the way.

I thought this API supported highlighting (with colors), text within textareas but it doesn’t. So I think this API is pretty pointless
The CSS highlight API feels of little use to me vs it's complexity, so I'm probably unaware of some important use-cases. If it's a feature that's important to you, tell us why, here: github.com/web-platform...

This GitHub issue is for collecting web developer signals for Custom highlights. Custom highlights style arbitrary text ranges, without adding extra elements to the DOM. Browser support Chrome 105 ...

I’ve seen this comment so widely and yet it’s an extreme mischaracterization to say that Sadella was “begging people to use AI”.
He literally just made statements about hypotheticals.

Fixing this in Radix is near the top of my priority list. Sadly I just have very little time to look at the list 😭

There is nothing in React itself that prevents using normal radio inputs.
The problem is Radix-UI which for better or worse became a standard because of shadcn.
Worth checking what react-aria and base-UI are doing.

Also, maybe have an open mind and consider the div soup may exist for a reason

This article provides the perfect view into React brain worms:
Instead of a native HTML input radio element
It’s somehow easier to import hundreds of lines of code, and implement a faux radio button (that’s actually a button with svg to LOOK LIKE A RADIO), and ARIA rules (to WORK LIKE A RADIO)

Only the source moved to ESM. They continue to ship a standalone file for script tags.
And you can now import using ESM if you use NPM. It’s not a big ESM in the browser thing.

I tried to use the same trick for a swipe-able sidebar and its actually pretty annoying on iOS (haven’t tested Android)
The main problem is that it is far too easy to accidentally open the sidebar when you’re trying to just scroll down.
Is there a solution for that problem @una.im ?

You know that annoying experience on mobile websites where you need to find the little close button and can't swipe a menu closed?
The solution is simpler than you think.
With basic CSS scroll APIs, you can get built-in interruptible swipe gestures 🥳

This is just blatant theft. They were already paying the least of the streaming services, and they give millions to people like Rogan.
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Accurate. Liquid Glass is ass on all platforms but the larger the screen the more ass it becomes.
It being ass has very little to do with the “glass” material.

ceding AI to the right is a generational poltical mistake and bullying LLM researchers off bluesky to cook their brains in twitter racism is a self defeating and foolish act from well meaning people deluding themselves into thinking intentional ignorance is a valid form of critique and resistance
