I've experienced this already just in my personal vibed utils. This prediction will come true I think mainmatter.com/blog/2026/10...

I just shipped CSS Custom Highlight Universal Selector! Coming in Chrome 158. With ::highlight(*), you can write a shared rule that applies to every custom highlight instead of repeating the same styles for each name. See the Blog post: blog.seokho.dev/development/...

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

How is this @apnews.com, not @theonion.com? apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump *himself* filed a financial disclosure form this year that asserted he made over a billion dollars last year. That's not a claim from the fake news, or the crazy liberals. That is Trump's own filing.

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Could, but wont

I'm not naive enough to actually believe this will happen, but Democrats could be preparing, right now, lists of impeachment charges against (at a bare minimum) Hegseth, Kennedy, Mullin, Patel, Blanche, & Trump, as well as Bondi, Bovino, & Noem (still worth doing!) that rely purely on public facts,

ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @ashley-c.bsky.social from TechAtBloomberg on advancing the Composites proposal to Stage 2 at @tc39.es today 🎉 Composites are objects that are compared by value instead of identity. They are an evolution of Record & Tuple proposal.

What is YOLOing and what is engineering when we are using AI?

Holy crap. Lit team member @rictic.com used Claude to create a "How lit-html renders" video and it's frankly... jaw-dropping. Yes, it's a lot like my talk intro'ing lit-html, but that was a good talk! This is deeper, more clear, and has great visuals. lit-html-series-v1.a1.demo.rictic.com/renders/

Lately, I've been exploring CSS-only custom elements. They're pretty rad! #html #css #webcomponents dev.to/stuffbreaker...

Hey, friends—I'm excited to share my new project! I call it Tupo. It's a daily logic puzzle with roots in sudoku, where every cell has to have a unique color-number combo. Give it a shot if you like daily logic games, and let me know what you think! playtupo.com

Parents rejoice

Fully electric aviation has some major challenges (mostly: batteries are heavy and don't get lighter as they get used up) but I love the idea of decreasing aircraft emissions through a hybrid approach, perhaps as a step toward new, clever solutions for fully electric air transport in the future.

“AI can generate formal mathematical proofs by basically running a Monte Carlo simulation of trying to prove things” was just never on my bingo card. overreacted.io/how-i-vibed-...

In CSS, "shrink wrapping" backgrounds to text content with `text-wrap: balance` is a huge pain, but with a little `position-anchor` trickery, we can now make those backgrounds snap to the right size of the wrapped text. codepen.io/editor/shsha...

getting real tired of upgrading my web components every time a new major version of web components comes out

yui.dev/blog/mineswe... Amazing

Ready for another CSS-only diagram? This time, I am trying another connector type. It sticks to the selected sides, regardless of the node's position. css-tip.com/node-connect... Look how the lines get distorted! 👀 Another cool demo powered by border-shape, anchor position, and more!

*New* Mathematician of the Week Posters Here's something I've been working on over the summer. A growing set of posters of mathematicians doing cool things with maths. Each comes in black/white or colour, with a quote and a link to read more. Check them out at: interwovenmaths.com/mathematicians

Someone can just run on "I will undo everything this evil man and admin did" and they would win

Nothing brings me more joy than swapping credit card numbers across all my accounts because suspicious charges 😃

I love Minneapolis

< 2 years & these people got it so that preventable childhood illness rates are skyrocketing, there's at least 4 simultaneous foodborne illnesses all in the highest risk categories, iran beat us in a war, everything's more expensive, there's gestapo raids, & now CANADA doesn't wanna trade with us

Well this is interesting

what is the worst html element? right answers only

got frustrated recently at work about people writing using AI instead of using their brains! here's my take on it: sophiebits.com/2026/06/25/t...

Part 4 in my exploration of javascript reactivity. This time we're looking at pull/push strategies and why they exist. Hope you check it out! jschof.dev/posts/2026/7...

JavaScript declarations in conditionals was discussed at TC39 recently, but consensus broke down over one key detail. How do you think it should behave?

A self-styling `style` element - makes itself visible & styles itself to look like code printed on an alternating line background with lateral perforations (real transparency allows to see through holes to the backdrop) codepen.io/thebabydino/... If you're looking for original code boxes...🐱 #CSS

This is a fascinating chapter in eastern history. China might have discovered the western continents if this exploration had continued and the next emperor didn't order the expeditions to stop
