SVG Jar goes multi-framework and multi-bundler. The best way to work with SVGs in your web apps.
- Generated sprite sheets by default
- Inline escape hatch
- URL import for <img>
- Embedded references just work
- And a codemod for users of ember-svg-jar

@nullvoxpopuli @devagrawal09 I think @still_runspired made a good point that context in functions is just outer/global scope or running another function inside your function.

We live in a propaganda this whole time?

I have debunked this map of global IQs, and the study it was based on, so many times, but it just won't die. Help me spread the word about how much this study sucks. For every 10 likes, I will tweet a ridiculous fact about how badly this study was conducted.

@WebDesignMuseum I don't remember it being called metalheart. I do remember it being called Trendwhore. I miss this era.

⚡️ "Another idea that the Russians have that we've accepted is that it's normal (...) for ballistic missiles to rain down on the city [Kyiv](...) but it's somehow not normal for ballistic missiles from Ukraine to go into Russia," says Prof. Timothy Snyder.

Recently @figma introduced UI3 and new AI features. From my observations, newcomers seem excited by these changes, while seasoned designers feel Figma may have missed the mark. I'm from the second category. Here are 10 features that I've been waiting for a long time and that will REALLY help me work more efficiently.

@nullvoxpopuli I use a script to add a black bar to any wallpaper I use to hide the notch. I still get confused when my mouse disappears behind it.

🧨 Unpopular opinion: try {} should have been designed not to behave like a regular block wrt block scoping variables.

It’s rarely if ever useful, since its scoping is not conceptually meaningful. Effectively, it’s more of a code annotation than control flow. Unlike control flow blocks, there is no program state that only makes sense within a try {} block.

The catch () {} block on the other hand _is_ actual control flow, and scoping makes complete sense there.

“Pathetic”
“Rubbish”
“Nonsense”

Britain was better when politicians had the balls to criticise some members of the public like this.

Bring back courage. Some voters are moronic and some do deserve to be called out as such.

@AndarianP @AgainstWoke the right have been "cancelling" people for decades, what are you on about? Taking metal musicians to court, trying to ban gangsta rap, protesting movies, cancelling the dixie chicks. Forgetful as fuck.
