@officialpax.bsky.social I just received my tickets... however it's only half of them.

What's the best way to request the other half / prove that what was in my fedex package was half what my email confirmation says?

We're still in a color tech phase where different spaces and models are better for different tasks, and none are perfect even when they're specialized. Getting that knowledge and those levers in front of people is complex. The more info you show to help decision making, the more overwhelming the ux

There's so much tension in color between simplicity and robustness. I think most folks wish for something to layer complexity in over time instead of upfront.

Lots of tools have super helpful features, but discovery is tough because there's so many levers exposed.

<system-color> - CSS | MDN The <system-color> CSS data type usually reflects the default color choices used for the different parts of a web page.

-webkit-focus-ring-color
-moz-focus-ring-color

^ the adaptive "system variable focus outline" color you can use to look integrated when using `color-scheme: light dark`

would be nice to not have the prefix, just be part of this developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

I think I simply wanna thank you for all your effort, as google and outside. And especially for your cheerfulness to webdev! You makes the space feel joyful and simply wholesome.

After a long day of staring at a Figma file, sometimes you just gotta treat yourself to a little CSS you know?

Javascript closures with variables trapped at "function creation time" is very similar to CSS custom properties that are "use time"

ever had stale values in a closure?
ever had stale values in a CSS prop?

pretttttty similar bits of internal engine knowledge needed to understand what's going on
