Chrome 144 features a small change to #CSS overscroll-behavior: it now also works on non-scrollable scroll containers. While this change might seem trivial, it fixes an issue developers have been dealing with for ages: prevent a page from scrolling while a (modal) is open.

Should web components handle SPA routing? Maybe not, but it's an interesting exercise.“

AONISHIKI!!!!!

Probably wouldn't have won without Onosato bailing out, but that's what happened, and he won in his signature style of going for unusual kumarite.

Also liked his cheeky answer about his feeling on ozeki promotion: "It's nice, but there's a higher rank…" :-)

I’ve decided I’m a single-issue voter and my single issue is the thorough investigation, public documentation, and — where illegality is found — prosecution of every action of the Administration, the 119th Congress, and the federal judiciary.

We have let long national nightmares slide too easily and too often, and it’s only emboldened the next round of cheats and tyrants.

If the system can’t take a hard, deep look at itself, then that’s its own indictment, and we should start over.

Javascript user for many years -- but only recently a convert. Turns out, if you ignore the modern development practices weighing the whole ecosystem down and just focus on using the core language, it's not too bad! That, or the part of my brain that's supposed to be responsible for registering pain and danger is just completely burned out now.

I saw someone describe "Murderbot Diaries" as "sci-fi junk food" that appeals most to people who see themselves in the character.

I mentioned the other day to my boyfriend that I relate to MB's world-weary snark and its irritation at having to constantly solve other people's problems (because they're too dim, slow, or inattentive) without much in the way of reward.

It's MB's awkward anti-social personality that starts to wear on me, but that's also what some people find most relatable.

You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.

You have literally no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable

Who knows if I saved the entire firm doing this

what a powerfully horrid statement to read in a Reuters email:

"The US and Russia hold peace talks as missiles pound Kyiv"

this does not bode well for peace in Europe

As part of my job I have to make tiktok videos to showcase our services. But I'm an old and tiktok is even more confusing to me than Snapchat. I mean, how do people superimpose themselves over a different video without renting out a movie theater and standing in front of it? Clearly it's witchcraft of some sort.

Please drop links to the best tiktok tutorials so I can stop hurtling towards boomerhood please.

Frontend is failing. 75% of devices with browsers are smartphones, but not even half of sites pass Core Web Vitals on them. Why not? Too much JavaScript, added to indulge SPA fantasies the data is falsifying in real time:
