As someone who has audited many, many sites for performance and usability, React sites have long been a major outlier. The fragile, client-dependent patterns that the tooling encouraged early-on may not be the chosen path for folks in the know anymore, but they made a lasting impact and continue to be visible in the most popular sites on the web.
Most of the sites in this audit I did for WPT were that slow **because of** the React delivery patterns they used. https://blog.webpagetest.org/posts/will-html-content-make-site-faster/

Ok I owe Safari an apology. The bug I was referring to has actually been fixed for a good while now, and I just didn't realize it.
In addition, most of the other Safari color issues I've run into recently, I can't seem to reproduce currently.
I'll eat my hat on this one. Good job, team.

I'm not going to take a picture of him, but dude in this coffee shop has positioned himself against a wall, blue tacked some images on the wall behind him to presumably make it look like his office, and has a Zoom meeting going on in an iPad while playing an MMO on his laptop and eating cake.
Well played geezer. Well played.

I understand Pica’s form is not conducive to her pronouncing human words— and so I’ve tried my best to glean some meaning from the collection of chirps, peeps, screams & mews that pass for her natural tongue. But for all my attentiveness & patience— I can make no sense nor decern any pattern or reason in the cacophony— yet, she will persist at her efforts to hold— conversation sometimes lengthy ones with whoever will engage. Murrping and mewing as if answering and asking questions. #cats

@fivetonsflax @nrohluap What linguists thought was the cat phase for “thank you” (or more literally “grateful mine”) turned out to mean something closer to “you will be/shall remain grateful for me(existing)” — That cats say this at times where “thank you” would be a more expected response (from a human perspective) is something we can only puzzle over. Perhaps, when cats receive gifts they endeavor to remind us how we ought keep giving them more?

Someone asked* why we can't just have good healthcare.
Short answer is that there are several industries which derive much (or in some cases, all) of their revenue from us having BAD health care.
