📵📵Be gone, vile rectangle! 📵📵 https://bradfrost.com/blog/post/be-gone-vile-rectangle/

I’ve been putting my phone in the basement and keeping it there for nearly the entire day.

It's been incredible.

@brad_frost Carrying cameras is cool again, college kids are buying them up and preferring them to their iphone cameras. It's a real thing!

Was looking for on old graph I had made 20 years ago about how tests can pass and the same time not having interop (one of the points of @bkardell recent post https://bkardell.com/blog/WPT-Dashboard.html ), but I could not find it (Eventually I will), but funny I found this about head elements used in body circa 2007 :D https://www.w3.org/2007/05/dom-head-body

@karlcow It's a shame that screenshots link is broken
😔 so much slow link rot. Wish we'd prioritized and figured out some kind of CID distributed hash idea much earlier in our history..

Assuming the premise that us CSS developers aren't reaching for container queries as much as well all thought we would is true...

Why do you think that is?

@chriscoyier @potch @Meyerweb I think there are numerous things here! It would require a thread, or a blog post, or a podcast episode... How would you prefer? :)

In the end I asked my daughter whether she thought i should grow the whole beard and she said

"Eww. No."

So, i shaved 😋

@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

I've been sick so my personal/appearance care has been kind of near 0 and I've got like a 50% beard on the rest of my face now - every time it gets to this point I am like "should I try a full on beard, I'm halfway there".

@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@JeanPDeliet Well, I've had my same facial hair for 30+ years so it's kind of part of me... I did try none during the pandemic but it was weird and I didn't like it. I've never wanted a full beard, my dad had one... but... I am slightly curious

We’ve always told devs that browsers prioritize what to implement based on dev demand.

There is one exception: #SVG.

SVG is used on >65% of websites. Yet, browsers have been refusing to work on SVG, ignoring pressure and pain points from web devs.

#StateOfHTML showed SVG as the top content pain point: https://2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/content/#content_pain_points

Tons of work (SVG 2, fill & stroke, and more) has sat unimplemented for years. At this point, in standards circles, we know not to touch SVG with a barge pole.

@karlcow @Lukew @rauschma @leaverou Yes, @igalia has been working on this - as the article above says originally some of this work was funded by some of our @WPEWebKit customers and @igalia ourselves. More recently Wix has sponsored some SVG work/resources toward this... The short answer is "Yes, we could do that and we would love to"...

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@karlcow @Lukew @rauschma @leaverou @igalia @WPEWebKit The longer answer is that I've been trying to suggest this since at least 2019 (https://bkardell.com/blog/Beyond.html): Joint interest group funding of areas would make a lot of sense - I've even suggested the W3C might incorporate this (part of the Kronos metaverse thing actually seems to encourage it). I've pitched several - including exactly this one for an SVG fund to folks at other orgs because it seems obvious to me. It's a change in mentality tho

You know in Thor: Ragnarok when they show the wormhole and stuff pouring into it from across the universe -- I bet there's a lot of my left socks, earbuds and TV remotes in there.

If someone can figure out a way to make money by losing earbuds lmk.. I'll make a fortune.

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is but: Using an 's for possessive is the more intuitive thing with "it's" despite being "wrong" and I think we should just all rebel and do that.

@Meyerweb What's the reason it should have a weird possessive form tho?

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@hi_mayank Let's go back to the OG don't use it's as a contraction and use 'tis

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@caribou Yeah, I'm not suggesting switching them all, I'm saying pretty much what the linked video at the bottom of this says ~"yeah, we recommend its, but also it is all weird and in flux and there are plenty of reputable uses of possessive it's and they are kind of... fine?".

I did a whole bunch of articles about how web speech works, and the underlying speech subsystem - it's tricky because most text doesn't have any real semantic 'hints' and speech subsystems vary, so you can get "4x4=16" and "I drove a 4x4" sounding like 4-X-4 or "4 times 4" or "4 by 4" - kind of like with different human readers, maybe.

Anywho.. Listening to a read aloud of this article about client hints and the Sec-CH-UA header and giggling as it keeps pronouncing this as what sounds like the "sexy h-you-ah header".
