Currently obsessed with Mudhoney. Many may write them off as "grunge also-rans". Not only was the term 'grunge' coined to describe their sound, but it's not the overdriven DS-1 sound of their more famous peers. It's 60s style germanium fuzz. They were the first grunge band to break the UK, the band's singer, Mark Arm, packages and ships their records himself and--for my money--their post grunge era records are their best. Oh! And they have lyrics about shithead antivaxxers.

@gilesdring Yeah, it's a great doc, watched recently. Seriously, check out their recent stuff, it's great. Like a psychadelic Stooges.

There was an interesting question in the chat I wanted to surface.

Say your site styles are responding to the prefers-contrast: less media query. Must they still conform to the relevant 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios when the media query is active?

@yatil @ben @sarajw @scottohara Yeah, to me prefers-contrast: less maps to "Heydon stop making everything black and white"

@sarajw @yatil @ben @scottohara I think, for briefs.video, I'll use that media query and just a CSS brightness filter to soften all the whites.

sigh I have an American client who is having trouble, they say, being able to convert to £ (their end) for paying me. I have business bank account for my LTD that only accepts £ or €, apparently.

Anyone know of a way around this? A service either they or I could use? I would really prefer not to change bank accounts. Wish I'd know Starling was this limited at the outset.

@Edent @threedaymonk Thanks, Terence. So you can get wise to automatically transfer, upon receipt?

Another bizarre pattern I keep seeing a lot of is having multiple skip links to different parts of the page. Total overkill. If you actually use headings, there's no real need.

@yatil I do like the idea of direct access to sections of the page for keyboard users. But I'd solve that for everyone with a table of content.

Currently apoplectic that the Speech Recognition API hears “fuck” and outputs ['f***']. You puritanical Christian dickheads are at it again aren't you?

Like “F star star star” is literally not what I said. You are wrong, you have programmed it wrong.

Found this in the garden of the other kids during a playdate. Wasn't sure what to say to their mother.

I brought a couple of copies of Minima Morlia by exiled Judeo-Marxist critical theorist and aphorist Theodor Adorno to @ReactConfBognorRegis with a personal note from me inside to give to the first people who ask for them!

Life does not live!

Inscription on inside cover by me, reading "eat a dick, christofascists"

@cferdinandi I thought your take was funny, I just didn't have a hard copy of the Satanic Bible!

I'm writing about the <article> element now. To preempt myself, I just want to say: it's completely useless. I never use it. Why? Because it's designed to represent an independent piece of content BUT since the document outline algorithm has never been implemented and the element (inevitably) appears as part of a larger web page, it should be introduced with an <h2> heading. BUT it makes no sense to head an "independent, distributable" piece of content with a subsection heading. Trash 0/5.

heydon,
@heydon@front-end.social avatar

@boldewyn @yatil yeah, that's what I mean by the document outline algorithm (implementation of automatic heading levels).
