Hey everyone! You might have heard that 40% of Block was laid off. That includes me.

If you're looking for a design technologist (a design-minded front-end dev) then hit me up!

Why don't you just make 10 a little louder and make max="10" and make that a little louder?

I remember using `zoom: 1` a lot for a layout hack fix in ancient versions of IE. I don't think I've ever actually used it for its intended purpose. 😄

Remember Acid Tests? I remember Acid2 in particular being a big deal. www.acidtests.org

"This email is to inform you that..."

You can just say the thing. You don't have to announce your intent to announce.

<math> - MathML | MDN The <math> MathML element is the top-level MathML element, used to write a single mathematical formula. It can be placed in HTML content where flow content is permitted.

Recently learned there's a whole math-specific language called MathML that browsers natively support????

*spelled Amtrak apparently

Anyone here done an extended Amtrack trip? Curious what your experience was.

I like the idea of taking a train cross country, but could see it being either amazing or awful.

Haha my kid and I finished Luigi’s Mansion 3 last year, was pretty good, but I love your description 😄

Sometimes I feel like quitting web development and joining my brother-in-law on the ranch.

At least cows don't suddenly upgrade to version 5.0 and break the entire farm because the geese aren't on 3.2.4 yet.

Cartoon with a table showing the different planets of the solar system in order closer to farther from the Sun. All of them show 0 deaths and no CSS, except for Earth that has CSS and 117,020,448,575 deaths. Below the table there's a question: coincidence?

comiCSS #109: Coincidence?

November 27, 2023 – One of those small cartoons that are simple yet fun to code. And it's versatile, too. You can basically change CSS for anything you want: Taxes? it works! Humans? Works too! Tailwind? D'uh!

Agreed!

And to add, it's not always because I'm being vindictive or whatever, I just don't want their content in my life but I wish them the best.

For those of you with Computer Science degrees...

Would you call yourself a "scientist"?

Also, shoutout to my wife for the game she beat: Stardew Valley.

Chalkboard wall with 24 video games written on it, with dates.

Kept track of all the video games my 8yo son and I beat over 2025 on a chalkboard wall. Here’s the final result!

really rolls off the tongue

Just put a bunch of &nbsp; before it until it's centered.

I learned this from someone I used to work with.

I just learned this earlier today! The person that told me also said something about throwing a pot of water out the backdoor.

Got the first panicked call from my parents falling for AI.

Fortunately it was just misinformation and not someone scamming them.

Not a great feeling. Reminded them that if they ever need me to check something, please do call. And that if I ever call them from jail needing $10k, it's not me.

Is It Christmas?

Beautiful 👏

Smalltalk... Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...

This just felt weird to watch.

Feels like I'm not the target demographic for this ad... even though it's for a CSS feature, and I'm a CSS dev

Just randomly thinking about when the pandemic started and there was some random guy in a lab coat on youtube and he told everyone to wash their groceries with soap to prevent getting covid

And everyone was just like "yeah I believe him, I mean look at him he has a lab coat on"

I blame caniuse and MDN for making us think that way 😁

I used to include Opera… but no one cares about Opera anymore 🤷‍♂️

you're a lovely improvement

It's weird that we call it turkey day but we eat the turkey.

Looking at you, groundhogs day.

I'm a fan of those happy toasts.
