Wow, reading this, I can _feel_ my brain resist an unfamiliar concept. I recommend people read the MDN article linked to in the first sentence before moving onto the examples in the blog. I'll have to play around with @property myself

Ah, I love this. Nice work! I really wish supermarkets were mandated to post this information whenever the price of a particular SKU updated. The tools that could be built with such information would do amazing things for consumers.

Love p5 - I learned a bunch of new concepts through it: polar coordinate space; thinking in radians; dot products; event-driven programming. It's one of the fastest ways I know of to make something fun and expressive in code.

It would not be in the Chinese government's interests to do this in a way that preserves anonymity for its citizens and protects them from being monitored, but I do really want to see a layer of the internet where it can be trusted tha

Really good post! I also found this quote which distilled their position in the 404media coverage of the situation. > “What I can say for sure is that TicketMaster and AXS have had every opportunity to support scam-free third party ticke

Great, thanks. I'm sure you'll find it thought provoking. re: hundred million: I was trying to imply that AMCs can be large but not necessarily always in the billions - it depends on the market size and estimated economic damage o

I highly recommend you listen to the recent 80000hours podcast with Rachel Glennerster on Market Shaping, or read her book, Strong Medicine. Advanced market commitments, i.e. governments signing contracts that guarantee they'll pay $X

in terms of accessibility, i imagine a universal standard for modal state management will be an improvement over the bespoke approach - closing when the user presses escape, focus handling, etc. but i really wish popover=hint made it into t

I've loved Pat's music for 15 years now. There's an obsessive passion in the people who are into him, trawling for bootlegs and demos on soulseek, binge watching old Women live shows on YT. my friends excitedly recount the em

I think it's good to examine all habits that we have, and if this article gets you to consider the (potentially unknown) trade offs you're making, great! but to really know what they are, RCT self-experiments are the best way to
