How Much It Costs to Drive an E.V. and a Gas Car in Every State

Fun infographic shows when we tend to peak at certain things. I wrote a column about this a few years back: buff.ly/tZoWb9o

I’d love to see what liquid glass looks like applied to scorebugs (time&score graphics on sports broadcasts) with all the 3D modeling effects that are a part of it.

This Oakland Block Tried to Quit Fossil Fuels. Here’s What They Learned | KQED As an innovative project to cut gas out of an entire block comes to a close, residents and researchers share their lessons.

One major climate solution is reducing the amount of energy used in homes and businesses, and swapping out fossil fuel appliances for electric ones.

But doing this home by home is slow and expensive. Researchers tried something new: What if you overhaul a whole block at once? (@kqednews.kqed.org)

An outrageously silly @badgeographyjoke to make you smile today. You might’ve realized that as a geographer I shamelessly label geology material as bad geography jokes. Sorry dear geologists…

Better typography with text-wrap pretty Support for text-wrap: pretty just shipped in Safari Technology Preview, bringing an unprecedented level of polish to typography on the web.

I’m super excited about `text-wrap: pretty`. It does a lot more to improve typography than you might expect — at least in Safari Technology Preview 216.

It improves all lines of text, not just the last 4. It enhances hyphenation & rag, not just avoiding short last lines.

Martians will be speaking at Figma’s main conference 🤯

So proud of our design team!

They’ll be talking about dynamic colors—the result of our work around the OKLCH, APCA, and Apcach ecosystem.

Button to auto-fit to the closest shade that meets a standard is the best part ihmo. I hope they add the APCA algorithm as additional option for contrast calculation.

Congrats! Automatic fittment to closest shade that meets a standard gets to the heart of job-to-be-done. One wish: Pleeeease support APCA algorithm for contrast calculation too, to work around limitations of WCAG.

How to delete your 23andMe data after the company filed for bankruptcy When the California biotech firm filed for bankruptcy, there was one looming question for customers: What's going to happen to my data?

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults.

First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)

Fontstand is becoming a co-op! At the Fontstand Conference in The Hague, we announced that we’re becoming a cooperatively owned and managed font distributor — with expanded licensing and services. Stay tuned as we create a more equitable, transparent and democratic model for font designers.

Accessible Color Palette Tester Create and test color palettes for WCAG & APCA contrast compliance. Name, reorder, and compare colors with real-time contrast ratings. Save & share via URL.

Service skeet: @ichimnetz.com + team made a color contrast tester that evaluates against both calculation systems simultaneously: palette-tester.9elements.com

BTW, I'm as much of a huge fan of APCA as I'm of OKLAB + OKLCH. All those systems that adhere to human perception make so much more sense! 👏🏻
