  1. Being a technical reviewer on something is like "Hey, can you be a weird little pedantic asshole who leaves 'well-actually' comments all over our lovely writing?" Well, I usually try not to — "We'll pay you for it."

  2. Is this something?… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I have eaten the [bag of dicks] that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold

  3. There are situations where it's useful to have inputs (range, radio/checkbox, select) react immediately w/o form submission - but that's an a11y anti-pattern. Button toggles (aria-pressed) can replace many radio/check cases - are there good solutions for the others?

  4. I really appreciate these reminders that CSS role in performance does not boil down to a set of binary 'rules' that override all other concerns — but a contextual weighing of priorities & tradeoffs.

  6. Sometimes I have a very relaxing weekend. Sometimes I'm productive, whatever that means. And sometimes I do shit like this. Introducing an (excellent? unplayable?) new board game: miriamsuzanne.com/art/roller-of-ephyra/

  8. So confused why the web fonts for my #aeaden talk seem to be loading fine, but won't render - and it's only an issue in one browser… And then I remembered making this slide… 🤦🏻‍♀️

  9. Really enjoying grigs talk about Imagining a Fluid Future for Design Tools at #AEADEN - It's a hard problem, but the lack of truly responsive design tools is absolutely holding back the web, and needs to be addressed.

  11. I started out knitting this on multiple needles, following a pattern. Didn't like it, so I started over - no pattern, trial & error. After unraveling several times, decided to crochet instead. Its easier to backtrack. I like how this is going much better. About to turn the heel.

  15. I crocheted one (1) slipper sock! My first slipper sock! My best (and also worst) slipper sock! I came up with the pattern, and the weird ribbing. It is designed for one (1) left foot. If my left foot gets cold, I can put it in the sock.

  16. We need a long-term plan for making logical, flow-relative properties the 'default' in CSS. adactio wrote a great post about his attempt to go logical-first yesterday. fantasai & I have worked on it some. Now the csswg is discussing the topic at TPAC. miriamsuzanne.com/2022/09/16/tpac-logical/

  17. After nearly 15 years as a highly-requested (impossible!?) feature, size-based Container Queries & units have shipped in both Chrome/Edge 105 & Safari 16! Firefox is not far behind. (also: there's a prototype of style queries!) miriamsuzanne.com/2022/09/14/cq-browsers/

  20. Need good fidget-style crochet projects - the kind that don't require full attention or constant yarn-changing. Anything other than a hat or scarf in that category? Maybe some slippers, if I really keep them basic? Blanket could work, but bulky, and I want to travel with it.

  23. I can't write about my CSS *methodology* yet, because I haven't come up with a good acronym. But I did write about the seven 'layers' of style currently displayed on my site. What's with all those layers? (re davatron5000's Modern alternatives to BEM) miriamsuzanne.com/2022/09/06/layers/

  26. For people asking: - Edge 105 lands later in the week: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-release-schedule - Safari never announces, but will often release at a fall event.

  29. 🥳 Container Size Queries are live in Chrome 105, rolling out today! Go put things inside other things! And then measure outer things to change inner things! Here's the official syntax: oddbird.net/2022/08/18/cq-syntax/

  30. I asked Erin about my new plan for site nav & she said: "Changing the navigation won't help. The problem is you can't decide what the site is for." 😅 Here's my reflection on content architecture, my site over the years, & what personal sites are *for* miriamsuzanne.com/2022/08/25/content/

  32. Besides being a good example of the :has() selector, this is a great example for how Cascade Layers can be useful *inside a single component*. Layers are not only for high-level CSS architecture. jensimmons/1560711964271198220

  33. The :has() selector is one of the coolest things coming to CSS these days, and one I :has(:not(followed)) very closely. Really excellent work, everyone involved. Check out the great intro from jensimmons: webkit.org/blog/13096/css-has-pseudo-class/

  35. Size container queries & units are about to ship in browsers! But the syntax has changed since the early prototypes, so make sure you're up-to-date! Note that: - name comes before type in container shorthand - the units have a cq* prefix, rather than q* OddBird/1560320189530402816

  36. Are there good linting tools to automatically catch broken links on a static site? Fixing links from >10yrs of content and thinking: it sure would be easier to handle these things as they come up. 😅

  37. I caught the public redesign bug from robinrendle & geoffreygraham. I want to do it slowly, & use new CSS features. So far: Cascade Layers, with an option to turn layers on/off (see 'Theme Settings' in the footer). Very much a work-in-progress: miriamsuzanne.com/2022/08/07/minimal/

  38. Sometimes people ask good questions in my contact form, which ends up in email – but I feel like answering in a more public way, like a short article on my site. What's the etiquette for that? Is it cool to post questions and answer them in public?

  39. There's a long-standing CSS 'best practice' to remove units from zero-values. But there are many cases where that will break your code! I explore the reasons for that, when to use zero-units, and the problems with over-eager lint & minification tools: oddbird.net/2022/08/04/zero-units/

  40. End of my first day at an in-person (hybrid) csswg 'face-to-face' meeting… And (as far as I can tell) CSS still works. So I think it's going ok so far? But we still have two more days to break everything, so no guarantees.
