Yesterday I pushed samwho.dev 2.0. - Every interactive/visual post revamped. - New content added to several old posts. - New consistent visual style throughout. - Dark mode(!) - New interactive heroes for all posts that didn't have them. - Updated dog animations.

there's been a worldwide campaign against trans people—nowhere has it been stronger (& less opposed) than the uk latest podcast with @aendra.com www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/uk-media-trans

Hannah is remarkably talented and a delight to work with. I couldn't recommend you hire her enough:

Huge fan of traditional Japanese theatre coming to London Looking forward to celebrating the advent of “Noh? Go!” zones that actually exist 👺👍

I’m speaking at this! My talk is “Fearless Quantization” and I’m very excited to hear what folks think of it 😁

Please watch this talk.

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Yesterday, the CSSWG accepted my proposal for mesh gradients and diffusion curve gradients! Want to make gradients like this natively in CSS? Well, we've started the work on it. It's coming! Here's the Explainer: github.com/w3c/csswg-dr...

I sadly can’t make it to ffconf, but you should definitely go. And here is why. https://marcthiele.com/notes/you-should-go-to-ffconf #event #community #humans

Public executions were not abolished out of tenderness towards the criminal. They were abolished because of the effect on the people watching, and the dangers of making human death a source of commercial entertainment. Here's Charles Dickens in The Times, after witnessing an execution in 1849.

With the CSS-in-JS mass exit happening, if you need a full stack staff engineer with several OS packages & contributions to her name _and is also really really good at CSS_, I'm available ~

I think the V&A already dominates here, with V&A East Museum and V&A East Storehouse being completely separate entities, 10 minutes’ walk apart

One question I have started asking at job interviews which is a bit full on is "what's the most difficult thing about working here" and if nobody gives a non-bullshit answer I don't want the job.

Just watched the first episode of the De Gaulle biopic. Such an astoundingly good movie that I immediately bought the biography that informed it. Looking forward immensely to the next half tomorrow

I am losing roughly $800 a month by working on MSW full-time while it's one of the most used projects in the ecosystem. Please, if MSW provides you any value, consider becoming a sponsor. I mean it when I say every contribution counts. Thank you ❤️ github.com/sponsors/mswjs

This is as close to a cry for help that you'd see from me. I need work. I need money for shelter and food in the meantime. I've run out.

more people gotta lay it out like this: these people are immoral, incompetent, and corrupt self-dealers. tech will be better if we keep their violent and dehumanizing brand of politics out of it

I'm so psyched for this 🤩 I've been a long-time fan of @infobeautiful.bsky.social and as soon as I joined AG Grid, we just had to have this collaboration in place 💜 what a treat.

you really should and I need to do it more too ohhelloana.blog/tell-the-spe...

Last year, @reinhold.is wrote a beautiful Svelte Summit appreciation thread, and if you haven’t been to one of the summits yet, you might want to read it: bsky.app/profile/rein...

So, if - you‘re a Svelte dev or interested in learning more about Svelte - and/or want to learn more about this serendipity named @chatto.run from @hmans.dev - and you’ll be in Berlin on September 2nd then RSVP and come to our next @sveltesociety.dev Berlin Meetup: guild.host/events/svelt...

This is a good website for the weekend, fyi

Fraud in academia is really scary b/c so much of it is built on good-chap trust and a sometimes heroic amount of faith in the peer review system. I really like these videos on the Jan Hendrik Schön affair for example www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfDo...

So pleased with all the love this clip has had! The film itself is *achingly* close to breaking 100k views on YT and while reaching this number will achieve absolutely nothing (tangible) it will make me, a buffoon, very happy... www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ...

We've gone on holiday by mistake

Reading a Performance Timeline by @nucliweb.net. This would be great for people who still have issues with Performance Timeline in Chrome. I love the form of this site. perf.reviews/profile-guide

So excited for this — the Svelte community is so fun and idiosyncratic and welcoming and if this is anything like the last two conferences it will be an absolute blast. And Ljubljana is lovely. Submit a talk idea! Join the list! Would love to see you there
