    I still think noalias-by-default is the way to fix this. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1108 You get all the benefits of Zig being able to choose the function ABI, but if th…

    I don't know what I'd do if Firefox died. Maybe it's time Firefox starts diversifying itself away from Mozilla.

    I had the opposite thought -- I bet the new color mixing will increase payload size. Which of these would you rather send over the wire? A) color-mix(in srgb, var(--primary-color),…
