@perfnow.nlReposted by @quirksmode.orgIf we look at a few decades of web performance, what technologies and techniques worked, what didn’t, what made the most difference, what has stood the test of time? Making a fast website is challenging enough; keeping a website fast is harder!
@quirksmode.orgDecline and Fall of the Roman Bagel. 5 out of 5 stars. No questions. Perfection achieved.

(`chain` is new; Chromium only for now)
@quirksmode.orgWhat was the thingy again that prevents your scroll actions from leaking out of a container? I even forget if it was CSS or JavaScript.
@janeori.propjockey.ioReposted by @quirksmode.orgx.querySelector chooses elements inside of specifically x. If you want to select a dialog containing x (dialog:has(&)), `x.closest("dialog")` is the way to look up the dom tree from x
@quirksmode.orgclosest(). Interesting. I had no idea it existed. But then, I don't do a lot of JavaScript these days. Thanks.
@quirksmode.orgWhat might be useful is x.querySelectorAll('dialog:has(&)') where & refers back to element x.
@quirksmode.orgAiai, de duivelssite weer op ...
@quirksmode.orgWaar komt deze kaart vandaan? Op de poliwave site kan ik 'm niet zo snel vinden
@quirksmode.orgReposted by @quirksmode.orgThe cost of AI
The tech giants are creating a system with the appeal of a 19th-century factory without delivering the sole benefit: cheaper stuff. Ask what the true cost of the tokens would be. Nobody knows, but raising awareness is a good idea.
@quirksmode.orgAnd I went shopping between the blogging about AI and the fixing of image galleries on conference sites ... and forgot the most important thing: a new Android. Ah well. If it works in Chrome/Mac and Safari/iOS I think it'll work on Chrome/Android and Samsung/Android.

@quirksmode.orgAnd what will the true, unsubsidised price of those 50 billion tokens be? More or less than hiring two or three web developers?
@quirksmode.orgI am simultaneously discussing the current state of the @perfnow.nl venue, explaining the boys about the coronations of Charlemagne and Napoleon, and solving a Safari/iOS bug.
I'm not sure when any of it will be done.
And I almost forgot to publish the short blog entry I wrote yesterday.
@michaelwarren.devReposted by @quirksmode.orgWhat if there was a Web Components conference??
@stuffbreaker.bsky.social and I are teaming up to get a little more serious about the idea of getting one together.
We want to gather data on if there is interest in the community
Please fill out and share to anyone!
@perfnow.nlReposted by @quirksmode.orgReminder: tickets get more expensive onThursday. There are only nine tickets in the middle bracket left.
@quirksmode.orgI asked because of the stories of sites that were overwhelmed by AI requests, and I thought: 'Don't they behave like spiders?' Meanwhile it appears that that some AIs have pretty badly-written proxy services and need to re-parse your pages time and again.

@quirksmode.orgI admit I was importing JavaScript ideas about scope. It helps me understand. 'Scoped to' to mean 'computed' or something. I do not fully understand the actual, computed, and so on stages of CSS properties, I'll readily admit. But I learned something today.
