"The [desktop] view of browser market share is telling. There’s Chrome, and there’s everybody else. Everybody else can be split into two groups: Firefox and the pit of despair: a larger group of small browsers with no meaningful market share."

sic transit gloria web fundamenti

Definitely feels like I just witnessed the first step in the demise of the web platform ecosystem 😞

This is pretty similar to how I felt back when Opera dropped their Presto engine back in 2014, but I think it's a much worse situation now

Can somebody please dispel this EdgeHTML rumour so that I can stop feeling existential angst about the future of the web platform ecosystem and get back to focusing on my job?

Does it get more dystopian than the computerized voice of Amazon Alexa reminding you "If you see something, say something"?

Is every public address system in Seattle voiced by Alexa? This artificially cheerful yet slightly too fast to be human voice is grating on my ears

Seattle has community banana stands, staffed by "banistas" 🍌

Excited (mostly) to be heading to Seattle today for #CascadiaJS #CJS2018

Braving the worst of Vancouver weather to head downtown for the second night of LumièreYVR art

I was told this would be a SkyTrain Hallowe'en party, but it is in fact a Canada Line Halloween party, and I would like to pursue a claim under false advertising laws.

Stages of working too late:

1. I'm the last one at the office.
2. Rush hour is over.
3. The local pizza place has closed for the night.
4. The last SkyTrain heading inbound tonight is leaving King George in 35 seconds.

I am *very* disappointed with how screen readers handle this (or rather, don't, at all) 😢

Current ſtatus: Toꝛn between wanting to ſpell "thꝛough" with an R rotunda oꝛ "þrough" with a þoꝛn.

Is þ round enough to permit an R rotunda, as "þꝛough"?

Today's the Myst 25th anniversary, and while Myst itself wasn't the most impactful of the games, it's no exaggeration to say that the Myst series is directly responsible for my career path, several good friends, and countless memories.

Thank you Cyan, for all that you've inspired.

Someone told me about RTLSDR-Airband today, and this looks pretty close to exactly what I've been looking for: https://github.com/szpajder/RTLSDR-Airband

Looks like I'll be able to listen to multiple radio frequencies, put them in different audio channels, record them to mp3 files for archiving, and potential set up to stream them via Shoutcast online.
