My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
New podcast just released. #227 on Camus and a deeper look at exile. Thanks for all the great energy you all bring here. Hope you have a great week. Here’s a description of the episode for anyone interested:
Today we talk about the concept of exile from the work of Camus. We focus on a couple stories from his book Exile and The Kingdom. We talk about why Camus insists that true lucidity can only arise from the jarring lived experience he calls “exile,” not from armchair reflection. We talk about Janine’s desert epiphany in “The Adulterous Woman.” We talk about school‑teacher Daru in “The Guest,” trapped between France and Algeria, whose double exile shows how history can choose for us. We talk about the everyday escape hatches—nostalgia, comfort contracts, curated news bubbles—that let people dodge exile until reality blindsides them. Hope you enjoy it! :)

On November 1, 1954, Algerian Hamas (they were called FLN) declared a revolution against the colonial liberal settler occupation, which had been occupying the country since July 5, 1832.
They were labeled by the Western media as “terrorists,” “Islamists,” “communists,” along with other Western terms.
After eight years of guerrilla warfare, and exactly on March 18, 1962, France was forced to sign the Evian Treaty with the Algerian revolutionaries. During this eight-year period, the French massacred 1.5 million Algerians (according to Algerian historians).
The following is a video of the Western liberal values that the French were spreading for over 132 years.
