I've been getting back into frontend web dev on the side, and learning what modern CSS is capable of has been mind-blowing in the best way

Thank you for helping make that a reality ❀️

Screenshot of my photos demo. The selected image has black background covering up the gallery, except the black overlay doesn’t extend below the transparent url bar and navigation bar meaning the raw page shows behind them.

I’ve been using height: 100dvh to get a fixed-height fullscreen view on mobile, but iOS 26 Safari’s transparent toolbars are throwing me for a loop 😩

Suggestions for how to fix this welcome πŸ™

Hence why I’m not confident prognosticating here. The increasing usefulness of small models is really interesting!

That’s… a lot of juice though, and growing

I don’t see how this plays out well

One imagines a better world where the same level of investment was put into, say, electricity transmission infra and renewables

Those who hold common stock - like
employees who bought stock during or after their years at the company - will see their stock canceled under the terms of the
agreement, making those investments effectively worthless.
"All Common Stock will be canceled for no consideration and all Options will be canceled and extinguished for no consideration," the document reads.

I can see why this show wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I bet you will love it

But even if not, Lee Pace is really great in this role

I am enjoying this season of The Shirtless Lee Pace Show errr... Foundation so far

It has had less of Hari Seldon being the Narrator's Smartest Boy Ever than prior seasons, but I fear that will not hold

A Unicode emoji proposal titled β€œProposal for Emoji: Hollow Face,” submitted by Lucia Scarlet on 31 July 2025. Section I, β€œIdentification,” includes the proposed name β€œHollow Face” and CLDR English keywords such as β€œdespair, dread, husk, soulless, dead inside, burnout, empty, numb, blank, void.” The suggested sort location is β€œSmileys & Emotion / face-neutral-skeptical.” A row of emoji appears below for context, including 😐, πŸ˜‘, πŸ«₯, 🫀, 🫣, and others. Section II, β€œImages,” displays four variants of the Hollow Face emoji: two in colour (72Γ—72 and 18Γ—18), and two in black & white (72Γ—72 and 18Γ—18). The emoji features a grey face with blank eyes and a straight mouth. A license note at the bottom states the images are original and may be used by the Unicode Consortium.

Re-using tech and knowledge from the oil industry (like fracking!) is one of my favorite things about enhanced geothermal

This also drives me bananas. I’m not anti-nuclear but it’s really good expensive and slow to build with no signs of that changing. On the other side the learning curve on solar, wind, batteries, and maybe geothermal is nuts.

I think / hope it just takes a long time to shift and refine so much UI surface area, and it’ll all get tweaked 🀞

Screenshot from the Apple TV app. There is a glass toolbar that’s mostly legible. But the active icon is blue and nearly impossible to read

The glass effects are growing on me. Some usages I really like: overlays on videos, the app folders on the Home Screen.

Though there are still legibility issues in some places, especially when accent colors are used

I'm going to try to rework it with two scroll-based animations, but I'm not sure what the cleanest way is to trigger a scroll animation in the X direction based on a scroll position in the Y direction (should only happen once you scroll down to dismiss the view)

This approach uses touchmove events to do the horizontal displacement and scroll-based animations for the vertical, but the touchmove event gets throttled during scrolling, so this is jank-city and Feels Badℒ️

Just the vertical animation is Super Smooth, even on low-end Android

If I wanted to understand what good native Android UI looks like, what should I read? What apps should I try?

Sometimes they are delightful. Other times it’s just visual noise to me, or actively difficult to read. I particularly don’t like them as notifications.

I will live with them and see how I feel after a week or two. They can be turned off
