    Microsoft Edge is poised to become a very popular browser. Seems like there are more tech savvy users on Edge versus Chrome. Online, people talk a lot about Firefox, but spotting someone using that browser is like finding a unicorn.

    The flexible box layout (flexbox) is a great spec. The flex-direction property allows rearranging the position of children inside a flex container. This works in pretty much every browser — even defunct ones like Internet Explorer. Don’t work hard and write JavaScript, be lazy and write CSS.

    Dictionaries or even Wikipedia will never tell you what words mean, just what people think they mean. Very very important distinction.

    My entire country has been successfully lulled into the cryptocurrency brotherhood, but I still can’t help but be left utterly confused with the use of the term “Web3”. In my vocabulary, Web 3.0 refers explicitly to the Semantic Web.

    In the future, historians will awe at the absolute might of western style marketing to hijack a term, redefine it in real–time, and ride the initial momentum to a totally different destination.

    The peculiar thing about the nix ecosystem, is that the easiest way I’ve been able to convince someone to try nix is to first show nix-env. Then apply the idea of declarative package management. Not too long after that they’re on NixOS or using nix flakes, and have catapulted far past my own knowledge of nix.

    Only recently did I discover that in the wider ecosystem, using nix-env is a big no-no — that’s sort of interesting.

    “Interoperability” is probably a corporate buzzword. I sure hope I’m wrong on that one, but I’ve been seeing that word thrown around a lot recently.

    Looking at the scope of society and human affairs, you can say that there’s no end to the clever ways people and institutions persuade you to give up a subset of your rights. The license, on first read, made me chuckle because whoever wrote it got to that point real quick.

    To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.

    It’s nice to read an article with real content from real people on the Internet, not spam. These individuals work around the data to page building limitation in hugo by using resources.FromString to programmatically create Markdown. Thought about this, searched to see if it was tried, and it sure was.

    Ultimately means that if I get around to it, articles from feeds can be made to appear as native posts in this timeline.

    I recently discovered corrscope, a program for rendering oscilloscope views of chiptune files. The renders are hypnotic.

    Whenever I’m handcrafting , content selection rules are usually the first declarations on my sheet. Might as well ensure user selected text is readable. Easiest win for accessibility.

    css
    ::selection {
      color: #fff;
      background-color: #000;
    }
    
    ::-webkit-selection {
      color: #fff;
      background-color: #000;
    }
    
    ::-moz-selection {
      color: #fff;
      background-color: #000;
    }
