Tumblr being a good web site again is the funniest shit that's ever happened to me in my life.

Write flat tests. No "describe", no scenario nesting, no beforeEach/afterEach hooks (as a rule). Each test case is self-contained, listing all the setup it needs. Use Symbol.dispose for reliable cleanup. Use granular test cases.

☝️ These things will make your tests shine.

Just finished one of the best bike rides of my life: Gdańsk to Sopot, along the Baltic.

What a fantastic coastal cycle way.

companies are not legally required to maximize profits (that's misinfo) and people are not legally required to maximize their short-term productivity if it feels terrible!

Europe’s oldest zoo animal, Marta the alligator, turns 95 in Poland

Europe's oldest known zoo animal, Marta the alligator, will celebrate her 95th birthday in Poland tomorrow.

Marta, who first arrived at Płock Zoo in 1960, has outlived the typical lifespan of her species by decades.

Coal produced less than half of Poland's power for the first time ever last month.

Meanwhile, the share of renewables rose to 34.2%, as Poland slowly moves away from fossil fuels.

Persona 5 pause menu; each letter in each menu item is a different font like a serial killer letter

every day the CSS spec moves closer to supporting the Persona 5 menu while web design ethos moves further away from it

Welcome back to weird. I'm back in my Tumblr era—and I've never felt more at home The time I went back to reclaim my little corner of the Internet on the beloved social blogging platform we all know as Tumblr.

"It didn’t feel like a platform which one had to upkeep and align to one’s real world persona... For most, it was a personal space—a blog—that one could always return to at any time. There are no expiry dates on always."

I loved reading this about my beloved @tumblr.com. vogue.sg/tumblr-era-o...

A screenshot of a text excerpt from a court proceeding, showing a conversation between Judge Reyes and Jason C. Lynch about an executive order that defines “sex” strictly as male or female. Judge Reyes challenges this definition, noting that there are roughly 30 different intersex variations and citing examples such as XXX chromosomes, androgen insensitivity, and five-alpha reductase deficiency. Judge Reyes emphasizes that not everyone fits neatly into an XX or XY pattern, concluding that the executive order’s premise—that there are only two sexes—is biologically incorrect.

Historically (like, for the past decade), I’ve used SVG if <20 things were moving and Canvas for 20+. But I think the threshold nowadays is in the hundreds. The lowest anyone has reported so far is 4900 SVG <circles> being the threshold 😲

Toucan was weird, it is jittery for a moment and then becomes smooth for 190 and even 200. For Goose and Puffin my values are first when I noticed any jitter, it was still pretty comfortable to my eyes.
