I'm experimenting with this format. Is it… good? Like, should I do more of this kind of thing? Critical feedback welcome!
streamHTMLUnsafe() was presented at TPAC last week. Finally, an API that lets you easily use the streaming HTML parser from JavaScript! Here's a quick overview:

I dug into progressive image rendering and found a bunch of common assumptions aren't quite true.

➡️ JPEG & WebP progressive-renders worse in Safari
➡️ AVIF _does_ support progressive
➡️ But JPEG XL in Safari doesn't
➡️ JPEG XL decodes much slower than AVIF
⬇️ and more

ECMAScript excitement 😉

Congrats to Evan Wallace on shipping the TC39 Stage 2.7 Import Bytes proposal in ESBuild 0.25.11 🎉

It lets you import raw bytes as a readonly Uint8Array 👍

import buf from "./a.png" with { type: "bytes" }

Also available in Deno, Bun, & webpack.

GPU computing before CUDA was *weird*.


Memory primitives were graphics shaped, not computer science shaped.


Want to do math on an array? Store it as an RGBA texture.


Fragment Shader for processing. *Paint* the result in a big rectangle.
