AI helps me with what I know and what I know I don't know. But it rarely reveals anything about what I don't know I don't know. Those unknown unknowns often only surface through the process of doing the work myself. If we offload too much to AI, what will we fail to discover?

to me

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Tech companies are potentially as dangerous to western economic security as China, and governments are struggling in the same way to balance the potential economic upsides with the threats.

inherit() is going to be absolutely huge for working with CSS custom properties. Two big things it'll enable:

Nested indentation:

--indent: calc(inherit(--indent, 0) + 1);

Overridable design token defaults:

--primary-color: inherit(--primary-color, blue);

The issue is devs using MacOS with hidden scrollbars.

If you're a web dev, your scrollbars need to be set to "always visible".

Interop Feature Ranking Rank the web platform features you care most about

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

💯 this! The whole argument between WCs and frameworks has always been silly. WCs are a low level primitive. Useful for many libraries and frameworks. They aren't mutually exclusive!
