Interesting, in my murky memory Chrome's developer tools were at most "quite decent" but for a long period of time could hardly compete with Firefox's, maybe even with mere Firebug. It it true that in total "featur

That's nice resource, especially the "Tests" part showing Firefox keeps them all supported and Safari dropping most of them. I have explored system colours including deprecated ones with intention to try to tap them into some

NB, that style does not play well with non-native DPI (e.g. when you have monitor set to 150% scale); to see it mapped to physical pixels, try running this in the browser's console: with(document.documentElement.style){ tra

Yes, the sad part of this otherwise brilliant feature is how it got butchered "for the sake of security". Reportedly crooks abused dataURIs as hosting for malware and self-hack schemes. Understandable: it sounds "better"

I found typing DataURIs in the location bar to be the "primitive technology" meditation analogue of crafting stuff from flint. In the spirit of "craftsmen should make their own tools," I've started making an "H

True. Maybe I've not put it clear: neither the article nether me were arguing for separated elements. The so called best practice here is exactly as you put it: nest the elements but (sadly) duplicate the relation in attributes, in or

I don't think it is "unpopular", the contrary in fact. It's just the best practice to stick to bronze-age standards, since reportedly there are still couple of assistive technologies that do not interpret the new perfec

One drawback I remember was that sometimes experimental features in some app are available strictly for the US (i.e. "vanilla") version, presumably simply because lack of localisation blocks it for "other" versions. (Sad

EDIT: disabling ligatures is possible through disabling Contextual Alternates (calt), neat! And it is also possible to keep them on and change only appearance of aforementioned equal sign sequences back to "normal", using ss19. Tu

Nice. Interestingly, the JetBrains Mono OP uses has many opt-in OpenType feature variants that can make more like Fira Code that you use. Some highly opinionated changes I would personally do to like The Monospace Web more would be enablin

Do they? I thought this is more issue on the source code side, rather than implementation: this is actually my pet-peeves, that most SVG *authoring tools* never output circular arcs and always use cubic béziers approximations instead. So w

Ha, nice! I secretly hoped someone would mention their real-world usage of "ridiculously" large SVG dimensions, so thanks for the reference! Your story implies there actually were some viewers that could handle it correctly? Could

I went the rabbit hole of exploring SVG "decimal precision-related" glitches in browser implementations and to my grief I must confirm that there really are blatant cross-browser issues. It's fact that my tests went a bit ov

Could the word "gun" be added to the title, so it would come up in HN search for the query "gun emoji", please? Something like X redesigns Water Pistol "gun" Emoji back to a firearm would be ideal. ---

Yes, general misunderstanding of the cascade is definitely one of the reasons, sadly. I admit that sharing origin level is sometimes OK, but I think that having control over the level at which we enter the cascade would be even better. Styl

Is a mere downloading and private storage of publicly accessible (copyrighted) visual assets also illegal? I think in most places you can store such content for personal use without infringing the law. I can imagine collecting icons for re

It seem like a super neat project, just why does it need to do the "SVG to React" transformation on the remote? (N.b. that remote endpoint is broken in the "frozen" Firefox version.) It bundles SVGO already, so I'd

I like Diskitude by Evan Wallace the most for this kind of quick and easy drive content sizes inspection. It does full scan, but is pretty fast and easy to use. And is super tiny. https://madebyevan.com/diskitude/
