Some APIs an up-and-coming web platform engineer could easily knock out, to universal applause:
- brotli and zstd for Compression Streams
- ImageEncoder for Web Codecs
- ImageData in Custom Paint
- a CBOR encode/decode API
- a "fast JSON decode" w/ clean globals assurance
Make the JSON APIs return the new struct type, omit the reviver function, and speedup could be an order of magnitude or more.

Please check out each one, share it, and consider donating to the author's chosen org if you're able (use your company match if possible!)

It bums me out so much that the compression and binary access APIs in the DOM are still, like, half-done. E.g., we still don't have good way to make animated gifs using Web Codecs, compression streams don't support brotli or zstd, and we don't have CBOR APIs.
This is a place where the TAG should be asking browsers to do better.

Making smalltalk at a local grocery store, a guy behind the counter telling me about his Christmas celebration and casually mentioning his boyfriend. This is, I think, is what real freedom actually feels like. I wonder if that's something that could go over just as easily in a red state.
Mastodon Feed2024 music wrap-up, and mixtape 249.
Here is some new music that I enjoyed in 2024. These are pretty good. Honestly, none of these really rose to the level of: "I am obsessed with this album and can't stop listening to it", but not every year has one of those, I guess. But these are all worth your time.

That older relative you do tech support for is probably not bamboozled by digital devices. They were guessing their way through Y/N ms-DOS and dodging Fatal Error cartoon bombs on Macs before you and the smartphone were born. Now they're older, wearier, and exasperated by digital coercion and the complication of simple things. They’re not listening to Bing Crosby while being amazed email exists. They’re listening to Queen while cursing enshittification & resenting the time it costs them and you.

A reminder that obnoxious, blocking cookie consent banners are not required by law but are there because tech companies had a massive tantrum at being prevented from tracking the bejesus out of you by default.. They don't need to be annoying or intrusive, companies can absolutely choose not to track, to track less, or make the consent experience easier, they choose not to 💩💩💩

The business landscape in this town takes another lurch downward. I have to drive 40 miles (or resort to Amazon) to get useful stuff. (Unless it's in a hardware store -- we got plenty of those.)
This business is new and useless.

@lauren I have to agree. When tech companies say they can't find qualified candidates to fill job openings, they're lying by omission. They can find plenty of qualified candidates, what they can't find are senior-level candidates willing to accept entry-level pay.
