You can make a little mockup with AI or you can do it by hand and learn that the <legend> element simply refuses to be a well-behaved flex item.

Woah! Has anyone else tried this new JS function? Looks like it just launched today: document.sofa.appendChilds()

I just discovered wizardzines.com by @b0rk.jvns.ca when searching for nginx playground (nginx-playground.wizardzines.com). What a fantastic site (and playground). And incredibly it was the first result that came up in Google. It was like searching the web in 2003. Sometimes the web works very well.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social Hi, I love your music and am very excited to see you play Bristol. I recently found out that one of my old teachers (who sadly died) wrote a great album on local folklore that might help you get a sense of the area: bengunstone.bandcamp.com/album/talk-l.... Cheers!

Hi @aleksandrhovhannisyan.com just wanted to say that your brilliant article Performant Game Loops in JavaScript (www.aleksandrhovhannisyan.com/blog/javascr...) was the foundation for my site newcastlewonthecup.com. It helped me get where I needed to go so quickly. Thank you!

The best decision I made this year was to pre-order Complete CSS by Andy Bell (piccalil.li/complete-css). The content is wide-ranging, practical, and human-centered, just like the web at its best. The presentation and pacing are spot on too.

Just a few months until we can watch this classic again

Film Script for FiUefa 2: Knockout Day

SCOTTISH TERMINATOR (Ewan McGregor)
Why do you qualify?

ENGLISH JOHN CONNOR (Ben Wishaw)
You mean England? I don't know. We just
qualify. You know. When we win.

TERMINATOR
Skill causes it?

JOHN
Uh-unh, no, it's different... It's when there's
nothing good about you but you win anyway.
You get it?

TERMINATOR
No.

… 3 games later, as Sarah Conor lowers TERMINATOR into molten Scotland

TERMINATOR
I know now why you qualify. But it is
something I can never do. Goodbye.

OUT NOW: Lights 2023 is my brand new single, being a modern-day iteration of the 21-year-old proto-hyperpop mainstay. This sprightly reimagining was debuted in my recent PC Music livestream and there was much demand for a standalone release, so here it is: maxtundra.ffm.to/lights-2023

Me after reading Every Layout by @andy-bell.co.uk: “Tetris is a sidebar layout and a great example of a sidebar where the sidebar in on the right. And now I’m making a stack of boxes!” Game Over 0 lines / 0 points “Ooo, is that a cover or an imposter?”

Don’t sleep on Daniel Goldhaber’s ‘How To Blow Up A Pipeline’, one of the best films of 2023. Thrilling, urgent and angry, but as focused on the humans involved as the pressing issues at hand. Brilliantly structured and edited too. And a superb, insistent score by Gavin Brivik. Do see it.
