ashes to ashes, dollars to donuts
someone made a webpage where the scrollbar is a little worm that does a scrunchy caterpillar walk when you scroll, and contents expand and contract accordingly.
I love it but I can't find it anymore. anyone got a link?
(it might have had some "would you still love me if I was a worm" branding?)

Big divide forming between social UIs where time goes down and social UIs where time goes up. You need to decide which side you are on. You can't be neutral on a moving train.

anyone know any Good Discourse on "what is programming anyway"?
random examples of Good Discourse:

- PROGRAMme (programme.hypotheses.org)

made a width-responsive pretty-printer with Prettier's "Doc" system. not sure I've seen this done before? it's nice!
also I made "type" keys show up as sexpr-style heads, and "id" keys show up as a little hashtags. adapting notation to your own practices for ergonomics and concision is dope!

CSS Q:
Is it possible for a parent div to have two children A and B, so that the parent's width grows as A grows, but the parent's width is completely unaffected by B's width, which is constrained to be at most the parent's width (which in turn comes from A)?
Ideally A and B are in a flex column.

Last 5 years (?) everyone's been making websites where when you scroll down new stuff fades in. It's so counterproductive and distracting and it makes me so mad so mad so mad.
What is this called? Where's the blog post explaining how much it sucks that I can send to people who use it?

Does anyone here know a lot about monads & applicatives & such?
I'm curious about how to make spreadsheet-style data-flows "monadic".
If that sounds interesting please look at my scattered notes at typst.app/project/rnf1... and lmk what's going on.

"mip" in "mipmap" comes from "multum in parvo", meaning "many things in a small place".
