“Introducing the layer based SVG engine”
Nikolas Zimmermann goes over the work he’s been doing to modernise SVG rendering in WebKit. Chrome IIRC has a similar project in the works.

Unpopular opinion: an OSS project that is constantly getting feature changes and additions is de facto unstable software that shouldn’t be used in production. If it has an LTS release, use that. If it doesn’t, only use the project when you have a really good reason.
It’s weird that the Github Readme retelling of the story of why the lucky stiff omits any mention of the fact that he left because he was doxxed, and instead opts for bullshit mythologising.
Maybe it’s not so weird, but it’s still bullshit.

“Step Away from the Computer or Hammock-driven Development”
This is a really good talk on problem solving in dev.
As an industry, we’re bad at the whole package: HTML, JS, CSS, accessibility, security. Only CSS gets hate. The more research I do into web dev communities, how it’s taught, the starker this disconnect becomes
Why? Because CSS’s visual nature makes our own incompetence obvious.
The difference in how web devs treat CSS and JS
CSS: write broken code that looks ugly because they don’t understand the lang. Complain about how the language sucks.
JS: write broken code because they don’t understand the lang. Ship it because they can’t tell that it’s broken.

Interesting idea.
Decidedly uncomfortable about how pervasive singularity-style progress myths seem to be among note-taking app vendors.
Dudes, (it’s always dudes) you aren’t making consciousness-expanding brain extensions! You’re overselling notes so hard you make it sound like a cult.
