I don't often get nerd sniped * but I just added support for line numbers in @Polypane.app's elements panel after thinking it impossible for the past 5 years.

* okay like once a week. maybe twice.

The CSS styling for a h1 element. The pertinent detail is that each css rule now has a line number with its stylesheet file name.

Nerdy stuff! @mozilla.org #Firefox just enabled support for #INP with v144 🎉

I dived into our raw RUMvision data. And yep, can confirm that it works when using Google's web-vitals #JavaScript library 😍

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

I know phone numbers of people from my childhood (I'm 50) but not my kids or girlfriend's mobile numbers

Micah @rincewind.run · 1d

the funniest thing about this is that those of us who grew up in the divide all have a bunch of pre-cell phone numbers memorized and almost none afterwards

I know the home phone numbers of two of my childhood best friends from thirty years ago and none of the cell numbers of my college friends

You might find it interesting that :has in specs is very old i do the first part of this talk that has a couple min of history at the start. The reason we got :focus-within was mainly that we couldn't get has..and it's easier to optimize

Container queries and CSS make it simple to smoothly transition an element to the other side of its parent container without knowing exact dimensions or distance.

6 Former Surgeons General Across 6 Administrations Publicly Warn Of The Danger Of RFK Jr.

Six former Surgeons General have gotten together to publicly pen an opinion piece in the Washington Post about the dangers of RFK Jr. The post is fairly long and, frankly, reads as though all six of them are part of a Techdirt fan club for posts about Kennedy. As the post cycles through what Kennedy is doing that represent this danger, it's the greatest hits from our own posts on Kennedy.

Every once in a while something reminds me of a fun past time I had online. Yesterday someone reminded me of this so I had to go look it up - It's a funny thing that @rendle.dev did on twitter back in the day - I had a great time reading and even "collaborating" on it
