It is such a delight to see a stream of new MathML upgrades!

Lots of people incorrectly claiming Chrome/Google "tried to kill JPEG XL". Just because an engine chooses not to be the FIRST to ship a new technology does NOT mean they are trying to kill it!

Was wondering how to use Subresource Integrity with dynamic import() — thought maybe there was a path forward using import attributes (no) but I did stumble across this excellent post about using it with Import Maps (from @guybedford.com):

Don't sleep on Servo! It has great potential
Servo is a massive achievement. One of the more unknown but potentially very impactful things about the project is that its modular nature allows parts of the web rendering stack to be embedded elsewhere (in game engines and such).

Today I heard a stat that the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social haven't won a game in Chicago since 1995. That sent me down a rabbit hole thinking about it, until I wrote this up to explain why that's not actually as damning as it sounds.
"since 95" is all of 2 games
