New on the blog, in which I share some thoughts about how we might improve the wpt.fyi dashboard

In the end I asked my daughter whether she thought i should grow the whole beard and she said

"Eww. No."

So, i shaved 😋

I've been sick so my personal/appearance care has been kind of near 0 and I've got like a 50% beard on the rest of my face now - every time it gets to this point I am like "should I try a full on beard, I'm halfway there".

@bkardell emotional beard support hotline, how can I help

@JeanPDeliet Well, I've had my same facial hair for 30+ years so it's kind of part of me... I did try none during the pandemic but it was weird and I didn't like it. I've never wanted a full beard, my dad had one... but... I am slightly curious

You know in Thor: Ragnarok when they show the wormhole and stuff pouring into it from across the universe -- I bet there's a lot of my left socks, earbuds and TV remotes in there.

If someone can figure out a way to make money by losing earbuds lmk.. I'll make a fortune.

Every day I am surprised to find another thing I didn't know that I'm like "how do I not know that yet?"

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is but: Using an 's for possessive is the more intuitive thing with "it's" despite being "wrong" and I think we should just all rebel and do that.

@bkardell "It" is a bit puzzling indeed because the possessive pronoun looks so much similar to personal pronoun+'s, but there's no reason to use the 's genitive on this pronoun and not the other (he/she/they or even I/you). Admitting grammar mistakes as language evolution makes sense when it corrects a bug in the grammar or simplifies it, not so much if it creates an exception + a possible confusion with another meaning.
Also, it seems that only native english speakers make this mistake. Why?

@caribou 'tis a mystery

I did a whole bunch of articles about how web speech works, and the underlying speech subsystem - it's tricky because most text doesn't have any real semantic 'hints' and speech subsystems vary, so you can get "4x4=16" and "I drove a 4x4" sounding like 4-X-4 or "4 times 4" or "4 by 4" - kind of like with different human readers, maybe.

Anywho.. Listening to a read aloud of this article about client hints and the Sec-CH-UA header and giggling as it keeps pronouncing this as what sounds like the "sexy h-you-ah header".

@bkardell Sounds like web speech needs AI 😁

@bkardell the different number of subtests is usually because some tests produce subtests depending on what is supported. I think idlharness does this for example. It's not great when trying to compare results, like in Interop.

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@zcorpan Yeah. Makes total sense, except when it doesn't (like comparing)

I am not a designer (I think I'm actively bad at design even) so I don't mean to bash anyone, but as a user I find interfaces like this absolutely terrible:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/the-1-sitcom-of-all-time-isn-t-seinfeld-friends-or-the-office-according-to-data-see-the-top-100/ss-BB1lXB5Z?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=0616b5997d6a41b88a4a09b1380343cb&ei=41#image=1

It's so damned busy and distracting, where does the article stop/start? The article itself literally seems to stop at "Counting down from , here are the best sitcoms of all time." which is the clickbaity shit that gets you there in the first place. Where? Where is it? Can you find it? I can't.

@bkardell yes it is, there should be arrows on the pictures 🥴

bkardell,
@bkardell@toot.cafe avatar

@seaotta OMG, so they say here they are, but the here is way above and not at all obvious. At a minimum, you'd like to see that carousel below the thing that says "here they are.."

I kinda wish that git command line would be like

"Hey, the thing you probably want to do is

git push --set-upstream origin {yourThing}

Want me to just do that? Y/N?"

That's how lazy I am.

@dotproto lol nice

@bkardell My terminal application (Warp) kinda does that: I type git push, it says “couldn’t do that, did you mean {what you wrote up above} instead” and I hit the right arrow key and hit return and it does it. It’s so convenient I literally do a bare git push already knowing it will fail but I’ll get what I wanted from the software so it’s fine.
