This resonates. Due to changes at the top, Google became a place where you succeeded not by doing the right thing, but by being a business wanker.

Setting up home audio stuff. It still blows my mind that Google abandoned Chromecast Audio. Didn't even give the home mini an audio out. Madness.

@jonty yeah, I've got three of them, but I get the feeling they'll cut support for them at some point. When I was at Google I was on the beta channel, constantly reporting bugs like "shuffle doesn't work", so I imagine more things like that will creep in over time.

@GuillaumeRossolini I've got three Chromecast audios which I'll continue to use, but I get the feeling they'll pull support at some point

🔊 New episode of Off The Main Thread!

Me and @DasSurma wonder if build tools are a symptom of a wider problem in web development, or if they're part of the solution.

And what is Bazel, and what makes it different from other build tools?

@meister yeeeeep, and the new place doesn't have night animals. But, we gifted the camera to our old neighbours, and the deal was that they have to send us any particularly good footage

Safari 17.2 includes linear() - a way to define custom CSS easings, enabling things like bounce and elastic.

Here's a tool to convert JavaScript and SVG curves to this new format https://linear-easing-generator.netlify.app/?codeType=js&code=self.bounce+%3D+function%28pos%29+%7B%0A++const+n1+%3D+7.5625%3B%0A++const+d1+%3D+2.75%3B%0A%0A++if+%28pos+%3C+1+%2F+d1%29+%7B%0A++++return+n1+

When I was 15 my mate drew a shit picture of Sonic that we dubbed "Sonic The Peanut" due to its legume-like aesthetic.

It's become my go-to prompt when testing text-to-image models. Here's DALL·E August 2022 vs today. The pace of development is incredible.

It's a peanut with Sonic's face and spikes. It's really well done.
