If you had two weeks to explore Japan (and had already been to Fukuoka, Kyoto, and Tokyo), where would you go and what would you do? (I likely will go back to Kyoto and Tokyo at least for a little bit.)

@rmondello Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum - I went without knowing what to expect beyond "nukes = bad." I ended up spending a full day there absorbing and processing.

I think the I/O demo where they tweaked HTTP headers on a response was one of my highlights from the keynotes

@scottjehl I think that's a very common use case, and extensions may still be best for more complicated transformations. But for common issues like the one they demoed it's awesome to have this built into the browser

Hm. Seems like too much use of my laptop's trackpad is leading to wrist pain 😳

Page Transitions API just got a shout out at I/O. Props to @jaffathecake for all his hard work on this spec

I totally forgot I/O was happening until yesterday. Kinda weird to now find myself here as an attended rather than a Chromie

I listen to music every day as I work, but somehow I forgot that genuinely enjoy discovery new music

There should be Ikea parties.

I have so many things to assemble. This would be more enjoyable with friends and drinks and movies.

@bvaughn I genuinely enjoy assembling IKEA furniture. I'd be so down for that

@bvaughn @thisismissem Where are you these days, anyway? Still on the east coast?

@bvaughn @thisismissem Still in Uptown Oakland ☺️

No one:
Me: Yep, just sitting here idly thinking about the overlap between the fields of science communication and developer relations

Chrome for Android is very bad at allowing you to use the system password manager

MSFT words I have to unpack in every meeting:

  • "ask" == "request"
  • "inbox" == "include"
  • "double click" == "discuss in detail"
  • "learnings" == "lessons"
  • "delighter" == "feature" (apologies to Kano)

@slightlyoff "inbox", "double click", and "delighter" strike me as especially org-specific, but at least with the last one I had a chance of guessing the right meaning

Could you give examples of the first two?

@slightlyoff hard pass, nothankyou

I’m heading to Google I/O next week. My first big conference since 2019. Who else do I know that is going to be there?

On a somewhat related note, has anyone figured out how to save sessions on the I/O schedule this year? I can't find a way to build a schedule for myself.

@grigs I think I'm going. That is, if I don't keep forgetting about it 😅

IDK, man. Maybe testing on representative devices is actually too hard hard? But if you're gonna produce a "numbers every web developer should know" clout-farming thinkfluence feelpiece, maybe disambiguate compressed vs. uncompressed file sizes.

dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@slightlyoff Ahh, but that would mean you'd have to actually consider compression and it's role

Apple's done it again: they've created another amazing piece of hardware that would be a fantastic tool for writing software, and yet they still prohibit local development

So far main problem with working from a co-working space is the lack of nappable areas

I regret to report that there is no longer anywhere you can live to avoid the extreme effects of climate change.

@jennwrites congratulations, everyone, we did it 🙃

As I delve into yet another data analytics project, I'm wondering what static site generators folks are using these days?

I published a little toy that experiments with using CSS Grid to do isometric layout: https://potch.me/2024/landscape-toy/

I genuinely don't understand why I enjoy Bethesda games so much when they are so fundamentally janky
