    I guess abbreviations are fun? I clipped my terminal vim abbreviation abuse before. Automated abbreviation expansions are surprisingly interesting but tricky with the edge cases. I cooked up super crude expansions for feeds coming into that “event log” too.

    The only once case is shot, but it's crude enough. I'm desperately awaiting the 20th. Three days for results last time was an eternity. The official results this time are in the first circle of hell.

    The Chrome experimental recorder tool has been around for a long while. I thought it was still mostly but I got schooled and apparently, this is a more faster way to jump–start a puppeteer script/test:

    Browser rendering engine feel: Webkit (Safari), Blink (Chrome) or Gecko (Firefox)?

    Which browser engine “paints” HTML the smartest on my device? In the clip below; Surf substitutes for Safari and Chromium for Chrome. My blog is the testee since there’s guaranteed cache control and jitter.

    Surf and by extension Safari (or any Webkit–based browser) wins imo. Webkit feels smooth (sneakily, too smooth). It’s probably partly why Safari on macOS/iOS feels so fast. Chrome (not Chromium) is almost on par or so I’ve been told. Not exactly web dev but interesting huh?

    Hugo is a gateway for discovering neat golang libraries. Version 0.104.0 introduced a color extraction method that has lots of use–cases. An easy one is to generate basic image gradient placeholders. The browser has its own deferred/lazy loading logic so fancy image gradients (on a static site) require only a few lines of pre–generated styles.

    Easier to show in Chromium compared to Firefox (a tad too fast/clever to capture)
