Ah, memories!

It was 18 years ago that @Clagnut introduced the idea:

(Not that he—or anyone else—would recommend it these days!)

That tracks with what I wrote about in the sequel to that post:

That makes total sense for a codebase that lives on your own machine or a server. But applied to client-side code it means the user has to download a library to satisfy a developer’s convenience.

“Don’t build what your users can download”

And so Silicon Valley becomes a kind of Roko’s Basilisk for The Torment Nexus—the act of publishing dystopian fiction makes you complicit, despite your best intentions.

By theorizing well in advance of data, science fiction provides a framework for developing and testing ethical standards for the treatment of AI.

The footer element inside sectioning content can by used for bylines:

A footer typically contains information about its section such as who wrote it…

Super useful!

(Though for consistency I would use max-inline-size instead of max-width—I’m still retraining my brain to use logical properties and it throws me to see directional and logical declarations together.)

Yay for bugblogging!

Here’s a terrific presentation all about fluid spacing and typography:
