Mainly just questioning in which direction the poisoned chalice is being passed

I think the comments and down votes are fairly self evident here, despite what I may or may not have meant. Discrimination is a fairly well defined term. Another hot take - the hea…

Couldn't agree more. I'm using it for notifications, where icon colour changes depending on the type of notification (colours are also user editable) ... and the notifications can …

Lanier Graham is my pick of the bunch. Finally a set that doesn't require a lathe or a chisel!

I use animated SVG favicons in a Firefox extension I've been building. They actually work a treat

As an aside we went to see the new David Attenborough film Ocean over the weekend. Equal parts stunning and heartbreaking - it sews a compelling narrative for the oceans, spread be…

Two notes: - is there a sly dig in there at Meta? Ice cream melting ... blue-suited hand - the Ghibli style feels controversial

It's their movement that I find fascinating. It's like they just snap between positions [1]. They're incredibly fast. Not to mention exceptionally beautiful (often irridescent [2])…

I can count on one hand the number of times I've needed something like this in the last decade. But I'd also need to count the same number of times I've implemented a less than ide…

Also doesn't really work when e.g. flex items are set to wrap

The Marshall Islands tests were carried out after the end of WWII. It's worth considering that the US also used the islands as a dumping ground for waste from previous tests in the…

My wife is currently in the Marshall Islands commemorating an anniversary related to the nuclear testing. The trauma and fallout, cultural and nuclear, persists to this day - over …

Inchconnachan is one of the more interesting desert islands I came across while living in Scotland. My introduction to its local inhabitants, expat Antipodeans like myself, was wil…

Cannot wait. That said, somehow I don't think it will help us with a UK-based API provider we work with that provide us with ISO-encoded UTC time strings that are actually BST duri…

Wow. We have a "Queensland" Grouper here .. similar size to the goliath, but there is no way I would hug it. A mate was a skipper of a dive boat and went for a freedive on their br…

During the pandemic / lockdown I was lucky enough to visit one of the reef pontoons off Cairns (Australia, on the Great Barrier Reef) that had been shut for several months. The res…

This is basically how my mind works. Mind projection.

I dropped into Fabric on a stopover in London in July (first time back on that floor in probably 15 years). I was surprised when they asked for my phone, but yeah it 100% made a di…

Re. accessibility, the main feature is that dialogs can be "modal" - meaning the rest of the page is non-interactive while the dialog is open - ensuring a focus trap. Popovers are …

I quite like this feature - so much so I've been pushing to build something similar out at work. The main missing piece is mobile / touch. Not sure if anyone's aware of iterations …

I love the element, especially for its built-in / standardised accessibility considerations. I'm looking forward to the day I can roll it without a polyfill (once safari That said,…

As another Australian parent (with school age kids) I heartily agree. Eager to see how this plays out.

Well, in Australia at least, the number of smokers in the 18-54 age cohort has almost halved in the decade upto 2022 (older smokers still tend to smoke), and more than halved in th…

Leaders don't hold all the power. As others have said, I think this is a good approach for everyone - showing a bit of empathy and "you don't know what you don't know" when corresp…
