I doubt many consider this adequate. But there's not much a state can do, and this is a creative way for a state government to give citizens *something*. Why not try and see what happens?

Exciting! Hopefully Webkit follows suit soon 🤞

It literally had a heterosexual wedding, dude

Looks like this has been fixed

@nerdy.dev do you know of any Webkit or Bugzilla tickets tracking implementations of `appearance: base-select`? I can't find any information on progress (or even buy-in) from non-Chromium browsers.

@react.dev it looks like 18.react.dev is showing the React v19 docs. Is there a place to view the React 18 docs?

Most projects I'm on make XHR requests from `app.example.com` to `api.example.com`, which requires CORS. However, this project uses a same-origin `/api/[...path]` proxy endpoint to the real API.

Since it's all the same origin, no CORS required!

It was sooo tough, but Sunday night’s 10pm bedtime felt GREAT once I woke up.

Though this is my usual bedtime, which is all well and good until I’m woken up at 7am by the toddler.

This feels like it’s right out of Parks and Rec. The debate episode also had a bunch of clowns, and one person who wanted to focus on real issues.

How I Reversed Amazon's Kindle Web Obfuscation Because Their App Sucked As it turns out they don't actually want you to do this (and have some interesting ways to stop you)

It's ridiculous how difficult it is to back up books you've legally purchased from Amazon. I'm able to with my jailbroken older Kindle, but it's very clunky.

Despite money being tight right now, I'm soooo tempted to get one of these. I've wanted an e-ink external display for over a decade, and supporting an open-source project instead of a random product from overseas is intriguing.

I'm not sure if I can swing $600 right now, though.

This is CSS performance problem I see all too often.

The React website has some jank due due to their use of transition.

Here is how to find what causes it and how and fix it

Trans healthcare trolley problem An unknown number of trans people have been tied to one of the train tracks, while a runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?

Always bugs me when you see green lights across the board on a service status page, while in the other tab you're looking at a Server Error that's impacting the whole site. Yes, its github.

Screenshot of Chrome network dev tools, showing 1 request named "scores/"

Is there any way to get Firefox's Network panel to show the last part of a path, like Chrome? Here is the same request in Firefox and Chrome - the Firefox path is useless, since all requests my page makes have the same prefix.

MTG on X: I can unequivocally say that what happened to innocent people in Israel on Oct 7th was horrific. Just as I can unequivocally say that what has been happening to innocent people and children in Gaza is horrific. This war and humanitarian crisis must end!

Nathan for You meme: “The plan? Plant Trump’s name in the Epstein files but don’t release them, instead waiting for him to take office and relying on his sense of honor and commitment to transparency to give him no choice but to release them himself.”

For those that are trying to learn more advanced JavaScript, currying is when you take a function and then serve it with a creamy sauce and some spices typically with meat, fish or vegetables. Hope this helps!

It really is amazing how far down the list this is on the outrage scale for Trump when any other president saying something like this would have been a massive scandal, complete with Senate hearings over accusations of quid pro quo and cronyism.
