    This is a nice answer to the question "how is GitHub preventing rogue employees at Microsoft from stealing my private repositories?". Like, it's good to know I'm covered if Microso…

    Bun's bundler claimed the bottom place in my recent analysis of how JavaScript tools handle generating inline script tags[1], because despite making lofty promises about being able…

    Scissors are the other big one; most of them are designed so that when to try to use them with your left hand, you end up pushing the blades apart slightly so they don't cut as wel…

    It's really easy to serve fallback images to browsers that don't support AVIF, either client-side using the tag or server-side via the Accept header. Which mostly eliminates the co…

    iOS has an accessibility option called "Ignore Repeats", which seems like a better approach because it's system-wide. So people who need that kind of accommodation can have it in p…
