I've just demoed a new exciting way of developing web, to some managers. I call it "GAFAP", which stands for "Giving A Fuck About People": so using HTML, CSS, modern standards to build in accessibility and reduce JS. I sent this quote from @slightlyoff in the post-demo show-notes: "It is not an exaggeration to say that modern frontend is so enamoured of post-scarcity fairy tales that it is mortgaging the web's future for another night drinking at the JavaScript party." https://infrequently.org/2022/12/performance-baseline-2023/

DESCENT (1989)
Acrylic on Canvas - 28" x48"
When I was asked to do a new cover for Ray Bradbury's classic THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES, I reread it and found I was deeply moved by the sense of inevitable tragedy that permeates the first half of the book.

- A comet streaks across the Martian sky over a distant city and descending past a massive rectangular horned arch. Mountains run along the horizon like irregular plates jutting from its spine. The familiar red-orange of Martian regolith is broken by deep blue canals that wind through the landscape. In the immediate foreground, a trio of domed towers, each unique, dwarf tall slender pyramids clustered just beyond. Set above all that to the foreground right, a raised pool reflects the sky in a gray-blue gradient. A pair of bronze skinned humans sit next to it on an ivory overhang dotted with amber beads. The surface is elegantly patterned ending in a lace-like edging. One man holds an ornate mask over his face, casting a distinctly alien gaze at the viewer. In contrast, his companion cups his mask in his hand, exposing slightly elongated features in profile, as he gazes up at the contrail that crosses the sky. (remote)

Mastodon FeedThe tragedy of the #CVE tracking system:
Usually it’s clogged with low-quality spam (costly regex? Critical DoS! integer overflow? anything could happen!)
This time there’s a real 0day exploited vulnerability, in almost everything that has pixels, and nobody’s getting notified, because the report buried the impact.

Mastodon FeedGoogle goofed by misreporting libwebp vulnerability as only a Chrome vulnerability.
In case you don’t know, there’s a critical bug in a popular library for WebP images. Any application that displays images is potentially vulnerable. Email clients. Graphics software. Even file browsers that display thumbnails.
