Dear UI designers: artwork cannot always go to the edge.
In the vast sea of possible devices, the edge will always be an unpredictable distance away, with possible variance of many thousands of pixels. It may be much closer or further than the mockups accounted for, and stretching artwork to that edge may not be practical or possible.
Have a plan for what it looks like when you don't have an edge available, and hand that plan to the developer implementing the design, please.

There’s a bipartisan tax bill that lift millions of children out of poverty and provides businesses with critical tax breaks. Even though it passed overwhelmingly in the House, GOP senators are stalling it to prevent a “Biden win.” Sound familiar? https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/is-bipartisanship-dead?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I'm obviously going to start including an axis of deviousness when I think about programming languages now.

Wow, taking the useful cache down but leaving the blighted AMP one up?
It's a bold strategy, Cotton.

Pretty miffed the proposal to finally implement `break-after: avoid` across all browsers was rejected for Interop 2024.
These bugs are 26 years old - older than some of my colleagues!
I’ll just have to keep prodding the bug reports and keep my fingers crossed they are fixed soon.

Really sad that the Navigation API isn't being included in interop 2024. This API makes a night-and-day difference to handling navigations. It cannot be polyfilled, and cannot really be used as progressive enhancement. We need it yesterday. https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/435#issuecomment-1921896911
View transitions isn't being included either, but I'm less sad about that, because it can be used as progressive enhancement. https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop/issues/437#issuecomment-1921897450

Aside from having to learn how to implement tons of relatively quite complex algorithms for high-performance board game search and making sure they parallelized safely in Rust, I learned so much about high-performance Rust programming, and had great discussions with friends smarter than me that further clarified to me some of Rust's elegant constructions that are often elided.
Hoping to package the result soon and release it as a board game app for smartphones under an "ancient ruins" theme.

Getting the engine in a place where it (a) reliably beat Stockfish and (b) did so while running fast enough to be shipped on smartphone hardware took a ton of research (mostly on https://chessprogramming.org) and ended up increasing my Rust skills quite literally by 3x.

I've been working on this on-and-off for the past couple of weeks.
Writing a Shogi AI is even harder than writing a chess AI; writing a high-performance Shogi AI is a serious challenge, due to the high branching factor which comes with Shogi's drop-captured-pieces-anywhere-on-the-board mechanic.

I'm a bit amazed at how quickly we seem to have gotten used to the availability of something like ChatGPT-4, an always-available AI that we can talk to about anything and that's, on the whole, likely smarter than any of us individually.
