Just wrapped up recording an episode of the @programmier.bar🎙️ We talked about web performance, from loadtime to runtime performance, about common pitfalls and what actually matters in real-world projects. Had a great time with Garrelt and Fabi. Thanks for having me! 😊

Three people in a remote podcast recording using Riverside: on the left, Garrelt sits in front of a laptop while another person wearing a headset leans over the table next to him. On the right, a person in a black shirt and glasses speaks into a microphone in front of a bookshelf.

Finally, @zachleat.com and @matuzo.at seem to have cleared their beer debts. No more picture frame to be seen on stage for the first time in years. 🍻

Stumbled upon this comment to the below article and I think they've nailed it.

Selbst ChatGPT sagt, der Begriff "Indios" sei einfach nur spanisch für "Inder" - für die Columbus die Menschen hielt: chatgpt.com/share/68f13a... Bestätigt auch DeepL. Precht ist einfach eine hohle Frucht (keine Beleidigung natürlich, nur ganz objektiv diagnostiziert)

Screenshot der DeepL-Webseite. Im Übersetzer ist die Sprachkombination Deutsch nach Spanisch eingestellt. Als deutsches Wort steht „Inder“ im Eingabefeld. Die spanische Übersetzung wird mit „indio“ angezeigt, als Alternative ebenfalls „Indio“.

Könnte man meinen, und die Agentur wollte sich nur alles richtig machen. Aber die gendern halt auch die Täter.

Screenshot der Webseite Sichere Wiesn – Tipps für die Wiesn. Zu sehen ist ein Textabschnitt, in dem es um sexuelle Grenzverletzungen und Anmachen auf dem Oktoberfest geht. Es wird betont, dass die Verantwortung stets bei den Tätern bzw. Täterinnen liegt. Außerdem wird erklärt, dass die Aktion „Sichere Wiesn“ Mädchen* und Frauen* unterstützen möchte, damit sie das Fest unbeschwert genießen können. Blaue Markierungen im Bild heben die Wörter „Täter (Täterinnen)“ und „die Täterin“ hervor. Quelle: https://sicherewiesn.de/wordpress/vorbeugen/tipps-fuer-die-wiesn/

Ich lese bis heute gerne die Spirou und Fantasio Serie. Und damals habe ich auch Natascha gelesen. Und schließlich: Tim und Struppi.

Comic-Cover von „Spirou & Fantasio – In New York“. Im Vordergrund stehen Spirou und Fantasio am Boden, über ihnen türmen sich ein dicker Polizist mit Schlagstock, ein Gangster mit Pistole und ein Junge mit Machete. Der Hintergrund zeigt eine nächtliche New Yorker Straßenszene mit Leuchtreklamen und Hochhäusern. Stil: humorvoll und überzeichnet.

Comic-Cover von „Spirou & Fantasio – Kodo der Tyrann“. Spirou und Fantasio verstecken sich hinter einem Baum und beobachten einen aufgebrachten Diktator mit Uniform, der vor einem riesigen schwarzen Q-Symbol steht. Ein Soldat salutiert, während ein weiterer Offizier gelangweilt dasteht. Der Stil ist satirisch und politisch überzeichnet.

Comic-Cover von „Natascha – Atoll 66“. Die blonde Hauptfigur Natascha steht in roter Shorts und schwarzem Top mit einem Surfbrett im flachen Wasser, hinter ihr ragt eine Haiflosse aus dem Meer. Der Hintergrund ist in hellem Blau gehalten. Stil: humorvoll, leicht erotisch angehaucht, klar konturiert.

Comic-Cover von „Tim und die Picaros“. Tim, Kapitän Haddock und Professor Bienlein rennen gemeinsam mit Hund Struppi durch einen dichten Dschungel vor einer Maya-Pyramide davon. Der Zeichenstil ist klar, realistisch und typisch für die „Tim und Struppi“-Reihe (ligne claire).

Here you are: 2024.stateofcss.com/en-US/tshirt/ And here: cottonbureau.com/people/kevin... And there is more at @css.cafe on Saturday 👇🏻

Two folded T-shirts lie side by side on a white surface — one teal, one light pink. Both shirts feature an embroidered version of the "lobotomized owl," a quirky character by accessibility advocate Heydon Pickering, with red star-shaped eyes and a stitched mouth. Scattered around are various colorful stickers: two bright pink ones with the text “CSS Café,” two white ones styled like CSS code that read “.sticker { position: fixed; }”, and several playful character stickers, including blue creatures, raindrops, and a spiky-haired pink face. There’s also a small roll of stickers in the corner. The scene conveys a fun, creative atmosphere with a strong web developer and accessibility culture vibe.

Had a wonderful day attending A-Tag in Vienna. The (accessibility) talks were fantastic and it was a great pleasure meeting old and making new friends 👏🏻😍

View from Tech Gate Vienna: A view from a high floor of Tech Gate Vienna shows modern high-rise buildings, railway tracks, and a pedestrian bridge. The scene includes the curved tower of the Tech Gate complex and the Danube River in the background under a cloudy sky.

A-Tag Accessibility Conference at Sky Stage: A large audience sits facing a stage during the A-Tag accessibility conference at the Sky Stage of Tech Gate Vienna. The room features floor-to-ceiling windows, purple accent lighting, and banners along the walls. A presentation is underway with live captions shown on a screen to the side.

Networking at A-Tag Conference: Two smiling attendees pose for a photo during a networking break at A-Tag in Tech Gate Vienna. I'm the person on the right, brown hair, with a beard, wearing glasses and a grey sweater. The background shows other participants in conversation near the window wall with a city view.

View Toward Vienna and St. Francis of Assisi Church: A panoramic view from Tech Gate Vienna overlooks the Danube River and the Reichsbrücke bridge. In the distance, the St. Francis of Assisi Church with its red-tiled spires stands out among the cityscape, with mountains on the horizon under a clear sky.

En route to Vienna along the beautiful river Rhine. ✨

View from a train window showing the Rhine River near the Moselle confluence. A road runs alongside the river on the left, while forested hills and a small village line the opposite bank. The sky is clear and blue, capturing a sunny day in a picturesque river landscape.

Scheint, als wären die meisten noch bei Schritt 3 der "Seven Stages of Grief" 👇🏻

Die Grafik zeigt die sieben Phasen der Trauer als farbige Balken von oben nach unten, jeweils mit englischer Bezeichnung und kurzer Erklärung:

1. Shock (Schock) – Erste Reaktion auf die schlechte Nachricht. Eine Phase der Erstarrung oder Ungläubigkeit.

2. Denial (Verleugnung) – Der Versuch, das Unvermeidliche zu ignorieren oder nicht wahrhaben zu wollen.

3. Anger (Wut) – Aufgestaute Emotionen brechen heraus; man sucht vielleicht nach Schuldigen oder fühlt sich unfair behandelt.

4. Bargaining (Verhandeln) – Der Wunsch, durch Verhandlungen oder Kompromisse eine andere Realität zu schaffen.

5. Depression (Depression) – Die Erkenntnis, dass die Situation nicht geändert werden kann, führt zu Traurigkeit und Rückzug.

6. Testing (Ausprobieren) – Erste Schritte, um mit der neuen Realität umzugehen und praktikable Lösungen zu finden.

7. Acceptance (Akzeptanz) – Man findet Wege, weiterzumachen, und nimmt das Geschehene als Teil der eigenen Geschichte an.

Die Farbskala reicht von Rot (Schock) bis Grün (Akzeptanz) und symbolisiert den emotionalen Übergang von intensiven, schmerzhaften Gefühlen hin zu mehr Ausgeglichenheit und Akzeptanz.

@jakearchibald.com hey Jake, you are probably aware of this, but if not, here is somebody riding on SVGOMG's popularity and pretending to be the original tool. Just with trackers & ads:

A Google search result from the website svgomg.net is highlighted. The title, displayed in bold purple text, reads:
"SVGOMG - Optimize and minify SVG images!"

Below the title, the description states that SVGOMG provides several options to clean and compress SVG files, including removing unnecessary elements, merging, and minifying. Users can upload or copy the source code of an SVG to optimize it.

A blue hand-drawn arrow is pointing towards this search result, emphasizing its importance.

Captain Future set the bar really high story-wise and soundtrack-wise. Watched it during the eighties in French and absolutely loved it! 😍 (sadly the German version has been cut down to 60% of the original length)

A retro-style animated scene showing a character resembling a classic space adventurer standing on the surface of a celestial body. The character is dressed in a futuristic white spacesuit with golden accents, looking confidently toward a small robotic companion next to them. In the background, a large planet dominates the scene, its blue and white surface hinting at Earth-like features, adding to the sci-fi atmosphere of the moment.

@paulca.com I just wanna let your know that I googled for "tito io" and apparently something seems off with your HTML source:

The screenshot shows Google search results for the query "Tito io." The first result is for the website "Tito.io" with a brief snippet of HTML code visible, suggesting a widget implementation. Below this, there are additional details such as "Pricing" (Tito Fees: 3% Per Ticket, Community & non-profit events...) and "Features" (describing Tito as a faster, more flexible platform for selling tickets online). Another result links to a page titled "Tito" on the domain "id.tito.io," describing Tito as "Simple, powerful event software — just add people," along with company registration details.

I recently also bought the new Hero Quest, plus extension packs, and successfully infected my daughters and their friends 😍 (Hero Quest was also my first contact with miniature games / "tabletops" on a school trip)

Photograph of a young girl sitting outdoors on a couch, engaged in a game of Hero Quest. The game board is placed on a table in the foreground, featuring a grid layout with dungeon-themed tiles, miniature red game pieces, and small gray door models. Dice and character sheets are scattered on the table, along with a HeroQuest game screen depicting fantasy artwork. The setting is bright and sunny, with a grassy background and parked cars visible in the distance.

The only game I stuck with was Bloodbowl as it didn't require you to buy shit loads of minis. Which is why they probably phased it out. Not enough money to be made.

Photograph of a painted miniature figure representing a black orc player from the tabletop game Blood Bowl. The figure has green skin and wears red-orange armor with skull motifs. It stands in a dynamic pose, raising one arm with a clenched fist and adorned with detailed embellishments like spikes, skull decorations, and a menacing facial expression. The miniature is mounted on a circular black base.

Another fantastic tool to visualize loading waterfalls and trace JS perf back in the web 2.0 days was called "dynaTrace AJAX Edition" (with multiple versions released). It was the groundwork for what became today's @dynatrace.bsky.social: www.stevesouders.com/blog/2009/09... /cc @deadparrot.dev

The screenshot shows a performance analysis tool dynaTrace AJAX Edition. The interface displays a detailed breakdown of resource loading for a webpage, including various assets such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images. The table at the top lists URLs with columns showing metrics like start time, response time, total load time, and size. Below, a waterfall chart visualizes the timeline of resource loading, with horizontal bars indicating the duration and sequence of each request. Color-coded blocks represent different loading stages, such as DNS resolution, connection, and content download.
