“Dialog element - Can I use… Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc”

AFAICT, dialog is happening all of a sudden because browser vendors finally reached a consensus on how to fix accessibility issues in the spec

“The web is a miracle”

What Ben said.

“Introducing the Dialog Element - WebKit”

It’s starting to look like we might actually be able to use the Dialog Element at some point.

“Using Google Fonts Breaches GDPR”

Looks like using free services from major ad companies has become a liability

(It’s the ‘Google’ part of the equation that was the issue here, not the font embed part)

Bookmarking this in case I run into it. I regularly run into weird SVG issues in all browsers. Firefox being the least bad IME

“How to keep up with web development without falling into despair”

I wrote a bit yesterday on keeping up with web dev by stealing ideas and tactics from other fields

“54 years ago, a computer programmer fixed a massive bug — and created an existential crisis”

“ongoing by Tim Bray · Lock-in and Multi-Cloud”

I can’t recall the last time somebody fell as much in my regard as the basecamp management has over the past year. Mostly, I chalk it up on bad judgement on my part. Turns out there’s no reason to assume that executives that say all the right things are actually doing them

“Request bodies in GET requests”

Always post links that cite “death of the author” in a standards discussion.

Icelandic fact of the day: “Guð launar fyrir hrafninn” is an Icelandic idiom dating back to at least the early 1800s. Translated: “God will repay those who help the raven”. It’s both used literally (helping ravens is good luck) and figuratively (good deeds result in good luck).

“Caching Header Best Practices – Simon Hearne”

Super useful reference that you should bookmark

“Making the web better. With blocks!”

“People like it and it makes sense.”

Neither of the statements in this sentence is true, AFAICT. Most non-techies I’ve spoken to dislike it and find it confusing.

“A launch.json setting for end-to-end web development - Christian Heilmann”

This looks pretty interesting.

This was a much much more interesting read than I expected.

“GitHub - skymethod/denoflare: Develop, test, and deploy Cloudflare Workers with Deno”

Interesting approach. Not really ready for use but worth keeping an eye on.
