At first glance, I thought this was some new TC39 JavaScript syntax proposal. This is a cool site. I thought I'd look for a page about my favorite syntactic phenomenon, "what all", and not only did I find it, but also they ch

What do y'all think of this one? In 2009, in the midst of the financial crisis, one of my commencement speakers (and the recipient of an honorary doctorate) was Kenneth Chenault, CEO of American Express. I don't remember his exact

This phenomenon isn't exclusive to film or even fiction. A year or two ago, YouTube flicked a short at me where a Gen-Z fan of some personality shared their feelings of heartbreak after he announced his departure from the platform. A m

Oh, fantastic! I've tried rebuilding this for macOS half a dozen times, and never quite managed for one reason or another. And now you've brought it to the browser. I might try adding reflections and translucency to ice someday.
