When working to change how science communicates, it is vitally important to use realistic examples (cc @Bouletcorp).

This New York subway station is so ancient it's still best viewed with Netscape Navigator.

Mostly oral histories. There are a few other sources, but they tend to be very incomplete.

Whoa, I’d forgotten about that — will try, thanks!
Replying to @SimonSapin
Seems to work pretty well, thanks! A bit aliased but I can just render to a larger size :)
Replying to @alexanderdanilo
Abbra! Is it actually available somewhere these days?
Replying to @alexanderdanilo
I guess it would be more trouble for you to ship and maintain than anything else, no?
Replying to @jaffathecake
That's probably the highest quality result, but I'm more looking for command line :-)
Replying to @jaffathecake
Yeah that's what I use but it's sloooow (and oooold). I should look at @domenic's version to see if there are smart tricks.
Replying to @null and @pkrautz
rsvg is full of bugs. Batik is great, but it's sad if the state of svg tooling has changed so little in 15 years... @jaffathecake
Replying to @null and @pkrautz, @jaffathecake
I was hoping there'd be something modern, fast, js, and sexy. I guess not yet :-)
Replying to @null and @marcosc
Ah! I hadn’t seen they’d upgraded to Electron — excellent, I’ll give that a spin, ta! @jaffathecake

A beer says it's SGML compatibility.
Replying to @tabatkins and @jirkakosek, @ndw
SGML had lots of crazy omission methods, forbidding the start element char there probably made sense, back then.
Replying to @tabatkins
I meant this: w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-com… but @prushforth is right.
Replying to @null and @prushforth, @tabatkins, @jirkakosek, @ndw
Oh man, as if XML ever got anywhere near meeting the DPH requirement :)
Replying to @tabatkins
Yeah, just a buncha crazy kids thinking evolution > revolution. From there, much madness.

And sometimes you get YAML — ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Replying to @StinkyCat
Glad you liked it! Why do you think it would be better on @Medium than simply on my blog?
Replying to @StinkyCat
Back when I published it it got tweeted by @smashingmag and bunch of other smaller ones, got a few 100K visits :)
Replying to @StinkyCat
There’s so much, it’s hard to see everything :) Either way, thanks a lot!
«Streaming template literals», a most excellent hack from @jaffathecake jakearchibald.com/2016/streaming…

@jaffathecake I have to say, I too have long been wondering what the deal is with the template literals API.
♥ 1
Replying to @jaffathecake
Yeah, the feature’s great. But the API’s so weird I can’t help feeling it’s designed for something I’m not seeing.

Replying to @briankardell
Nah, most of the other stuff I understand why it’s so wrong :) This feels like they were just drinking. @jaffathecake

Replying to @tabatkins
That’s on purpose. The weird thing is the (array, spread) signature. @jaffathecake
Replying to @jaffathecake
Ah, that one I don’t mind :) I understand the need for new syntax there. @tabatkins

Si tu veux en discuter ou quoi c’est avec plaisir (mais si tu préfères juste l’écrire aucun problème!)
Just found out the hard way that cssnano’s set of transformations is *unsafe* by default. Be warned!
Is there any upcoming CSS property to be able to eg. insert «⏎» on generated line breaks?

Replying to @fantasai
You mean wrap lines in elements and have a bg flush right in the padding, offset and tiled by the line height?

We generally interested but at the moment we have zero bandwidth. @rdfjs
So, at the end of the day, do we really need the Verrazano Bridge?
