Our feature tutorial/artist for today is this simple yet GROUND-BREAKING idea by the brilliant @sputnik2nd! Sometimes the KEY FORMS of ANATOMY can ELUDE us at CERTAIN ANGLES, and this is a great reminder that it's all just STACKING SHAPES! #manga #characterdesign #illustration

The disdain of contemporary Tech towards Art is baffling. "Techne" means "Art" in Greek. Technologist is an Artist.

Today was my last day at Google. I have made a conscious choice of leaving for better. I am looking forward to spending more time with my kids, family and friends. I am looking forward to not yelling at my kiddo when he comes into my office because I am still busy until 7 PM due to some broken shit. Because we no longer have a sensible software engineering process and everything is rushed.
I am also looking forward to sleeping through the night without getting paged at 2 AM! Why and for what you ask? Because a job that, I kid you not, literally needed 2 CPUs and 20GB of RAM could not start for some time. It was starved for 2 CPUs, when God knows how many hours of CPU and RAM resources are going into GenAl! I had to get up to get an emergency loan and ensure the job runs fine. And then not be able to go back to sleep until 5-6AM.
Furthermore, I am looking forward to thinking for myself and gaining some autonomy, rather than taking product and technical decisions made up by higher-ups and executives (who are probably using Al for those decisions) and feeding them to Al to generate garbage. This has become absolutely meaningless to me very quickly over the past year. I don't want to be just another execution arm for someone else.
Trust me, I am not against Al. Heck, I have a masters in Al. I use a lot of GenAl myself, but work has lost all meaning to me. This GenAl stuff and the way it is changing software engineering creative process might be cool and fun to someone without a computer science or software engineering background. It might give them a sugar high, making them think they have superpowers now, but I find absolutely no joy in it. Needless to say, the use of Al where it should not be used is reaching new levels of absurdity.
I want to go back to "basics" and think. I invite you to do that as well.
With that, cheers to a better tomorrow. Better for humans, not Al freaking agents!.

btw you can use this deeply cursed CSS selector to select a wrapper element that only contains elements with a certain class. i'm using this on stripe.com to hide a nav element when all of its children are .inactive :)
A CSS snippet which shows a combination of :not(), :has(), a direct descendant combinator, and :not() again, to add a red border to an element if none of its children have the class .active.An example of the previous snippet in play, this time showing two arrow buttons for interacting with a carousel. In the first example, one of the arrows is active, so the element is totally visible. In the second example, both arrows are inactive, so the element is hidden.

Inspired by @hankgreen.bsky.social's fun new timeline of photos from the Artemis II mission, I wrote up an answer to a question that's more pertinent these days than it may seem: Why are the Artemis II photos on Flickr? www.anildash.com/2026/04/30/a...

Imagine haphazardly changing the default behaviour on a piece of software with tens of millions of monthly users, catching unintended side effects, and then "underestimating its impact". Wtf happened to software development? Nothing makes sense anymore.

The city council wouldn't let me speak after I prepared a testimony and showed up early, so I've booked a media appearance every day this week to let Atlanta know that there is absolutely no accountability for grown men viewing private cameras of kids without authorization or consent.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Fifty research lab shuttered. Countless decades-old experiments and scientific records lost. Thousands of forest scientists and experts essentially forced into retirement. The destruction of science on a massive scale.

Good. Do it. Restricting radio frequencies to transmissions that abide by the federal government's content rules is absurd and barbaric. I'm happy to watch them publicize their draconian abuse of power and accelerate their demise. 🍿

I've been exploring alpinejs.dev and it's not super nice to write javascript as attribute values. TIL it's so easy to add syntax highlighting on text using treesitter. Now it's nicer to write since it looks like any normal js code... next is for js lsp to work too... tangled.org/strings/did:...
