Bret Victor @worrydream.com · 13/02/2026Hi Elle, your (wonderful) homepage stopped working in Safari on Mac a little while ago. For some reason, the javascript doesn't run, so neither day nor night are shown. I found I could get it to work by removing the try{} wrappers in the "bookmarks" and "blogroll" sections. No idea why. 120

Bret Victor @worrydream.com · 29/12/2024It's easy to mock that article, but for most people who don't habitually decap their chips, computers are indeed unknowably-complex black boxes that must be taken on faith, and for a generation who grew up with transparent, fully-understandable tools, that was a great loss.
