Commit messages like these let you know how much gas you have left in your tank: "For reasons, I have given up on isolating, removing height: 200% on the start button's parent gets rid of the bug in which the button can't be clicked in Mobile Safari 14.4."Comments

If you’re wonder how I feel about forcing teachers to run standardized tests in a pandemic year that affected poorer people disproportionally…you already know! Here’s the letter I wrote to the school anyway:Comments
Hi, I just read about the suspension of Rose Levine at Graham and Parks on the day that her students graduate (as well as that of another teacher). I imagine you will decline to comment about why this is being done to only two particular teachers, (others also refused to administer the MCAS) but if you do, it may help people to understand why this is happening.
I do wonder if those two were ralliers. And it’s otherwise a really nice school!
If you don’t, it just looks like a particularly cruel retaliatory action, which is jarringly out of character for Cambridge Public Schools, and particularly for Graham and Parks.
So, what exactly happened here? It is puzzling, probably even more so to the students, because we regularly celebrate the likes of Rosa Parks and others that stand up to unjust rules. -

So, Safari won’t let you play an mp3 you have an Audio element download, but it will let you download it via xhr, decode it yourself, then put it in an AudioBuffer and play it. Are they trying to protect the user here? Or are they just OK with you potentially fucking with the user as long as you’re willing to do a bunch of extra junk?Comments

Well. Now I am at the point in the project at which I have to figure out what exactly is happening on Mobile Safari. Always the bestComments

I’m going to admit, I’ve been asked to change my quotes in a web page in which every byte counts into “smart quotes” (which take up extra bytes), and it is bothering me. You might see them here because iOS automatically uses them, but I think they’re pretentious.Comments

QAing two hours of music after making a change is, as you’d expect, very time-consuming. I never want to see Audacity again.Comments

We played D&D last Friday (with actual people in our apartment eating snacks, etc.). Despite a 16-month break, it went shockingly *exactly* as it had right before we stopped! Though, I guess, there’s no real reason it shouldn’t be. Would people forget how to roll dice and ask if their characters can do wacky things? It appears not.Comments
Perhaps there are, in fact, some things that willnever be the same again?! - Comments

Hey, they got us COVID test results seven hours after we took the test! The guy does not have it. It is indeed a Regular Cold.Comments
Today was exhausting! But some of that was probably from actually interacting with people until midnight last night. I look forward de-exhausting myself. -
We think the guy has a cold. A common, non-COVID-19 one. The downstairs kids are also stuffy, incidentally.Comments
I took him to get tested anyway, and we’ll know for sure tomorrow, which is nice. As many failures as we’ve had during this pandemic, I’m pleasantly surprised that we (eventually) got fast testing down. - Comments
