For a more future oriented version (as setting a font to black wont work with dark pages), check out the CSS Color Module Level 5 spec for color-contrast(), which will automatically choose a color that has a proper contrast ratio: https:&#

Random side note - I'm amazed they're using gifs here to show off their subtle color updates to skin tone.

I don't think `prefers-reduced-motion: reduce;` should block gifs from autoplaying. Gifs for better or for worse have been used for the last two decades on the web, and they may hold critical information on a frame other than their fir

I don't think `prefers-reduced-motion` disabling gifs by default is the right approach here. The goal of the tag is to reduce non-essential motion, but gifs may have essential information on a frame other than the first. There's d

Have the cheapest M1. It flies and the battery life is stellar. The only downside I would say is it's only 8GB of RAM. If you're doing anything with electron development, it's a no-go. You'll need a minimum of 16GB. It&#

Thanks! That's awesome to hear - it's been super fun working for them. I've only been here about a year, so that near native experience is likely the result of https://twitter.com/evanwallace 's early we

Super cool and simple test! One nitpick is the author says the following: > "Black is the default shape colour for SVGs, so the fill attribute can be omitted entirely, as per the source SVG." This isn't entirely true, as t

There are different goals with games. For the author, they want a specific genre that hasn't really been done before (massively multiplayer co-op) because they want a grand unified goal to cooperate with people towards. That doesn'

The reason why I'm mainly excited about .avif is that it'll run on the same hardware that decodes .av1 files. Means encoders will very easily be hardware accelerated - great for services or bulk encoding projects.

FWIW this is also true on the design side. I've researched a lot of design teams and their custom tooling (I worked on design tools at Atlassian and now am working on them at Figma). Facebooks is leagues above the rest. I've been

As someone that's done a lot of webcomponent work, this actually looks really solid compared to a lot of other libraries out there. These docs look great too. All issues I can see are fairly minor. I'd like to see inputs use the n

I've ranged in everything from 3 interviews to 20* in my tech career. All interviews suck, but the unifying factor I've found for what makes them good is when the company pays you for your time interviewing. I don't so much c

It's 110ppi, which is the most common display PPI still. Keep in mind 1440p is a family of resolutions, not a single resolution. In this case this monitor is 5120x1440, which is twice the resolution of the most common 1440p resolution

Awesome to see them finally putting out almost consumer friendly pricing displays. Few things I'm disappointed about though: - 60hz. For this price point I'd expect higher. - Thunderbolt 3. Interesting that they didn't bump

It's an interesting move, but I'd evaluate a pivot to YouTube as a business risk given their automated demonetizations. It's likely better in this situation as they'd have a dedicated rep responsible for the 50k check, b

It's worth considering the difference in CO2 emissions from the longer transit routes that would have previously been taken. Over the life of this tunnel, the net CO2 emissions are likely negative.

Here's my perspective on this - Chrome has established itself as the baseline. The baseline is no longer the W3C standard, it's Chrome due to all of the experimental future W3C spec items being in Chrome. Chrome leads the spec, an

I use Figma quite a bit for this. Just make my signature a component and drop it in where I need it. Used to use Photoshop where I just made my signature a custom brush. Disclaimer: I work for Figma.

I'd agree with all of these caveats. I'll also say that I suspect part of the reason why my experience is good is my PC is hardwired, and my headset is ~2 meters away from my wifi router. I'll also add to what you mention abo
