sometimes its interesting to go into best buy to see what computers “normal” people are buying.

making a slick Svelte app is fun and all on my M1 Pro but how much do i need to optimize my stuff for the majority of people using whatever $500 gets you from HP.

we, as product makers, get swept up in the latest, shiniest thing & set our assumptions accordingly.

“Well everyone’s at least on an M1 right” my brother in christ my mom just bought a Lenovo yesterday and it has a Celeron + 4GB memory

#CSS `paint-order`

https://nerdy.dev/css-paint-order

Attachments:

• 2 examples shown with the text "Super CSS World". The first has no paint-order, and the stroke effect on the text overlaps the other strokes, in some cases making crowded grids that ruin the text legibility. The 2nd example has paint-order, and all the strokes are perfectly only outlined in the example, like we'd expect and creates a nice effect. (remote)

October 18, 1956 in Los Angeles, the Bobby Timmons Trio (with Bobby on piano, Peter Littman on drums, and James Bond on bass) recorded Bobby's arrangement of "Autumn in New York" in a take that came in at two minutes and eight seconds, and I am convinced that it is the most perfect arrangement of the song that I can imagine. I swear those three cats fit a good five minutes of music into that 2:08 without making it feel cramped or rushed. a gift to us all.

So this is new (to me). Gmail now marks outgoing links to "unknown" domains as "suspicious" and "might be harmful".

About the half of the indie websites and blogs in a recent newsletter popped up this warning!

How many people are going to ignore this warning or click on Show Details to see that there's *nothing actively harmful* about the site? They just haven't paid their protection money, I guess. 😠

"Suspicious," indeed. Google is flat-out evil.

#google #indieWeb

Attachments:

• Popup from Gmail when clicking on a link to a small, independent website. There's a yellow caution icon and the text reads: "This link looks suspicious" "This link opens a site that might be harmful." When you click "Show details", it simply says "The reputation of .com is unknown" followed by a "Safer with Google" graphic. The dialog options are "Open anyway" as a text link and "Don't Open" as a highlighted button. (remote)

Just read two different blog posts hyping up React 19, and almost literally *every single feature* the authors are excited about is a feature every other comparable framework has already had for years at this point.

React is so far behind, almost everything it's doing is playing catch-up.

I have updated the 6502 Instruction Set Database I made a couple of weeks ago:

https://gitlab.com/Screwtapello/isa65xx

New in this version:

- Now has all the instructions, addressing modes and cycle timings of the 65C02 (the base model, not including extensions added by Rockwell and WDC)
- Represents instructions with the same mnemonic but different behaviour, like the way BIT's immediate mode is different from the others, and indirect JMP is more like an instruction than an addressing mode
- Represents the number of potential extra cycles for each instruction, in addition to the minimum cycle count

As usual, the thing I'm most proud of is the citations and explanations - over 50% of the source file is comments! If you're learning about the 6502 and want something more verifiable than bare assertions on a random website, take a look!
