dipping into someone else's project today and learning to write Tailwind CSS and it is mystifying. Why are devs so afraid of CSS that a class list like this in a hundred places is preferable to writing 6 CSS attributes once?

I'm curious to use Apple's new "Liquid Glass" software design (alternative name: "Screen Spittle"). But so much of what I've seen in their own promotional materials does not suggest great legibility.

No comment, except that whenever I see a really clean web 1.0 text page I check the resources to see how many MBs of Javascript it takes to render a single text column.

At my parents’ house today: I pulled down my old PS2 for my nieces. It booted fine for the first time in 18 years, and still held my last game saves from 2006. I moved out shortly after and never played a console again.

I think it’s interesting that Gruber is correctly identifying Apple’s AI software as uncharacteristic vapourware, but believes it’s cos Apple have somehow fallen behind on AI, rather than that everyone’s promises of reliable complex AI assistants are vapourware. daringfireball.net/2025/03/some...

I'm not trying to be obtuse here. It's obvious why some executives at Apple might have hoped they could promote features like these at WWDC last year. Generative AI is the biggest thing to happen in the computer industry since previous breakthroughs this century like mobile (starting with the iPhone, followed by Android), social media (Meta), and cloud computing (Microsoft, Google, and Amazon). Nobody knows where it's going but wherever it's heading, it's going to be big, important, and perhaps profitable. Wall Street certainly noticed. And prior to WWDC last year, Apple wasn't in the game. They needed to pitch their AI story. And a story that involved nothing but table-stakes AI features isn't nearly as compelling a story as one that involves innovative, breakthrough, ambitious personal features.

@jackrusher.com are you familiar with the Max Cadliner? You must have come across similar during that plotting project.

Truly love this auto-translated listing from ebay. Use the powder hammer, now flatten the powder powder.

do you ever think it's weird that most of the movies we watch now are essentially animations, and if this was a real shot of a waterfall you would feel it in your bones

I always knew that if I got in early enough on a social network, I would become wildly popular.

It's been an unwelcome education encountering the American Internet's response to Google firing those pro-Palestine protestors. All oily soup of corporate-employee serfdom and barely-concealed distaste at the idea of pro-Palestinian anything.

Insanely short depth of field on this beautiful Shogun series. Everything outside the immediate focal area is soft and distorted, which is highly emphasised by the grids of the shoji walls and doors.

My five-year-old is drawing endless comics, so in order to add variety to her 3x3 grid I’ve been sketching Calvin and Hobbes outlines for her.

I've never written CSS targeting a script tag before. This works fine! (If I'm working in my local environment I show a grid div I'm using for layout purposes, but when I push it to the dev server the URL the script tags link to no longer contain ".test", and the grid div is hidden. )
