📝 A meandering post about my Honda trail bike, the engine bays of cars now-a-days, and “view source” on websites — you won't believe how they’re all related...or maybe they’re not, I’m just rambling here.

GTK uses Vulkan by default on Wayland now. The migration from X to Wayland is super fascinating and intricate. I’ve been watching it unfold for years and have fought the urge to do deep dives. Future UI toolkits will continue to use multiple rendering engines and will facilitate compiling for desktop and/or browser which is going to reduce interest in JavaScript UI frameworks. There are frameworks that behave/look the same as desktop and Web applications.

from the outside, it would appear that the highest achievement in research is not full professorship or large grants or named chairs, but whether you become a meme or not, whether your name stands for something on its own. cousot & cousot, oleg kiselyov, phil wadler, etc

The popover API lands in Baseline

Exciting update for web developers - the popover API has landed in all modern browser engines. This will allow developers to more easily create contextual overlays on their sites. I'm looking forward to seeing the creative ways devs leverage this new capability to enhance user experiences.

Today was my last day at Adobe. I depart for startup pastures new which I'll elaborate on later...

But today I availed myself of the e-waste drop off at the Adobe office. I have never seen anyone so excited about a 16 year old Android G1 device!

It was like the cable goblins of some mythical dragon cave came out to paw over the relics brought forth by the cave diggers of tech ancient past.

They even printed labels for the RCA cable I brought them and mounted it on the wall. No kidding!

Anyone here seen #Chrome extensions with #DevTools panels just not display sometimes?

I'm seeing some really weird behavior recently I can't explain and would appreciate if anyone has experienced the same problem and could validate my sanity:

Do you want to insert a ⚠️ emoji and have it not automatically turn into a smaller black and white version of that in some contexts?

You just... just kidding I have no idea why it does that and I hate it send help.

📢 Chrome is toying with the idea of exposing a Web Translation API based on lazy-loaded, built-in browser #AI models:

translation.canTranslate(): Check if browser supports translation for language
translation.createTranslator(): Create translator object
translation.supportedLanguages(): List supported languages

translator.translate(): Translate string
translator.translateStreaming(): Translate string in chunks

✌️ Two DevTools tips in one: watch expressions and emulating a focused page: https://indieweb.social/@jecfish/112319004809618539. Watch @jecfish's video in the linked toot for the details! I remember learning about those features has changed my developer life, and I can't believe they're not known more widely.

I haven't blogged regularly in a long while (in about 2 years, actually, since the course).

I'm now slowly getting into the flow of things, and I have a lot of ideas for topics to write about. Too many.

So I'm wondering: what kind of topics do you wish I'd write more about?
