 Remember* that annoying browser behavior when they copy text in uppercase, although it’s only styled like that with text-transform? Yes, the one that goes against the spec. Apparently, Chrome 127 shipped the fix in July! Now, only Safari does that 🤨 * If you don’t, here’s an updated article https://pepelsbey.dev/articles/uppercase-copy-paste/#:~:text=Update%3A%20Chrome%20changed%20the%20behavior Liskov’s Gun: The parallel evolution of React and Web Components https://www.baldurbjarnason.com/2024/liskovs-gun/ This is a bit of an experiment. Probably the longest essay I've published directly on my website. 🙂

 @baldur Fantastic post. My only minor quibble is that I do think the React team has kept innovating – concurrent rendering and RSCs come to mind. Although I'm not convinced the first is a great idea (https://nolanlawson.com/2022/10/22/style-performance-and-concurrent-rendering/) and the second seems to be heavily dividing the React community, I have to give them credit for having the guts to try new stuff even though they're the clear market leader. @baldur +1 on the laughs sprinkled into a piece with great webdev insights and excellent cross-pollination of CS and SE thoughts throughout. The experiment was successful from my PoV. Today is the LAST day to submit proposals for the Interop 2025 project. But also, it's a great time to review the existing proposals and upvote the ones you care about! Unleash your thumbs-up emojis at: Hear, hear! i realize that this is basically an affront to god but i made a fully client-rendered single-page app with htmx https://jakelazaroff.com/words/building-a-single-page-app-with-htmx/ The biggest hurdle for me to continue work on Wakamai Fondue is getting the thing built on my machine. It's just not my cup of tea and I end up in the "do random things based on Stack Overflow issues that vaguely resemble your current problem", which is tiresome 😩 I could use some help! If you're comfortable in outdated Node environments, updating dependencies, bundling and rollupping and webpacking, removing legacy workarounds and, as a bonus, working in Vue — please get in touch! Retoots 🙏 I know we had to do some workarounds back when we worked on the current beta — almost 4 years ago (!!) I'd feel so much better if that was all cleaned up, optimized and free of legacy cruft, and I could confidently work on actual _font stuff!_ Wakamai Fondue is open source but I'd happily pay for this piece of mind!  @pixelambacht That sounds interesting! I have a lot of experience with upgrading legacy frontend apps and could give it a shot (for free of course). Here‘s my Github profile as a kind of social proof: https://github.com/danieldiekmeier Except Vivaldi couldn’t exist without Google Chromium which renders the web for them. They’re completely dependent on Google, which is an advertising company. They’re at least as dependent on Google and web advertising as Mozilla (and every other browser company) but won’t admit it. https://social.vivaldi.net/@jon/113258096830905352 kind a crazy how many people say here is an alternative to google when the alternative is no better I wrote a blog post on React Aria's algorithm to generate accessible color descriptions! It breaks down how we create clear, understandable screen reader announcements in 30+ languages while minimizing bundle size, thanks to the OKLCH color space. 🌈 https://react-spectrum.adobe.com/blog/accessible-color-descriptions.html Just published! I interviewed @bjornornorn about how and why he created Oklab, the new perceptual color space that’s very okay indeed! 🎨 https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2024/10/interview-bjorn-ottosson-creator-oklab-color-space/ Tack Björn! 📢 Submit your ideas for features to become part of the Interop 2025 effort! ⌛ Interop 2025 is open for proposals until Oct 9th, 2024 If you need some inspiration, check out the Interop 2024 dashboard, which displays feature details, required tasks, and the current scores for each browser. Starting from Firefox 131, released yesterday, text fragments are now cross-browser, aka Baseline (newly available). You can also style the highlighted content with the ::target-text pseudo-element. I’m still getting over the #:~:text= thing, but it might be a good moment to start using it. @pepelsbey https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1779688 should make it easier to create such links Firefox released the first prototype of #CSS Masonry back in 2020, as an extension to Grid layout. Now Safari TP has it as well, while Chrome is working on an alternate proposal. I've been enjoying the discussions, and the way both proposals have improved because of the debate. But what's the current status, what's next, and what's at stake?  @geoff beat me to the publish button today, but I guess we're all watching the same discussions. 😅 His post on @csstricks is excellent. If you're interested in more, check that one out as well: https://css-tricks.com/piecing-together-approaches-for-a-css-masonry-layout/ Eleventy 3.0.0 is now available! https://github.com/11ty/eleventy/releases/tag/v3.0.0 Over a year of work, 22 pre-releases, so many contributors. Thank you to our entire community—y’all make this project possible. ❤️

 TIL there’s a .mml file extension for standalone MathML files (like there’s .svg for SVG, you know), and only Firefox supports MML rendering! Chrome shows it as plain text. Safari doesn’t even bother with that. Naturally, I filed feature requests, but I’m not holding my breath: it’s MathML, after all. Safari https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280682

@pepelsbey how cool is that!? :) I created an issue on caniuse to keep track: https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/issues/7172 @pepelsbey Try .xml instead of .mml. Works at least in Chromium browsers and also Firefox. Or try MIME Type setting at server side: You have eight more days to submit your idea for the 2024 HTMHell advent calendar. So far, I've received ten proposals. 🔥  VPNs are a booming business, advertising everywhere, claiming that they can protect your privacy and security online. Don't believe their claims. VPNs are bad for privacy. In this explainer, we dive into why we're skeptical of VPN providers and their claims, and why you should be as well. https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/30/we-are-skeptical-of-vpn-providers-and-you-should-be-too/  @zackwhittaker This is perfect. I have seen so many people post "you probably don't need a VPN" without making this very important distinction. They heard it from somebody else usually and deliver this half-truth with all the vehement confidence of the truly ignorant. Though I doubt I would be recommending Tor for anything to be honest. Most of the time the exit node is blocked or compromised.

@hbuchel You could consider applying at Mozilla, they are hiring front-end devs remotely.    ⌨️ New post! In which I announce a new service that helps web devs keep up to date on changes to support for web features (CSS, JS, SVG, HTML, and all that sort of thing); you can subscribe to RSS to get weekly reports on BCD changes. Thanks to @igalia for supporting this work! https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2024/09/23/announcing-bcd-watch/  @igalia If you want to jump straight to the service and figure it out without the backstory: https://bcd-watch.igalia.com |

It only took me half an hour to figure out how to find a specific branch base position here https://chromiumdash.appspot.com/releases?platform=Mac to download an old Chromium version from here https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-snapshots/index.html?prefix=Mac_Arm/ and test it. Oh, and also xattr -cr /Applications/Chromium.app to be able to run it 🙄
