Batman!! (this commit has no parents) The sight of an animal using a JavaScript captivates Computer Scientists and laymen alike, perhaps because it forces us to question some of our ideas about human uniqueness. Does the animal know how JavaScript works? Did it anticipate the need for the tool and select it instead of Haskell or Zig? To some, this fascination with JavaScript seems arbitrary and anthropocentric; after all, animals engage in many other complex activities, like Agile Planning and ordering Juice on the Internet. However, we know that complex behaviour need not be cognitively demanding. JavaScript development can therefore provide a powerful window into the minds of animals, and help us to learn what capacities we share with them — and what might have changed to allow for the incontrovertibly unique levels of technology shown by modern humans, such as integers and block scope.

A11y and perf improvements - Even less halation for dark theme - More contrast for borders - Slightly larger font, fixes APCA contrast issue for <small> - Make responsive navbar work in NetSurf - Make aria-current page bold - Use content-visibility to unload footers and endnotes - Add aria-labels to unclear webring link text - Replace <hr> elements with css borders; the semantic meaning of <hr> was unnecessary with section breaks.

CSS: navbar tweaks (responsiveness + color) - Dark mode: make navbar links the same color as regular links so as to not hide the fact that they are links. - Make navbar reflow at narrow window sizes

CSS: better margins, contrast - Allow figures that are *not* quotations to keep their old default margins. - Improve the contrast of links just a little bit more.

Greatly simplify CSS, dark theme fixes - Changed: Make all color codes 3-char. Shave off a few bytes. - Removed: all responsive layout besides the navigation links. Everything else should work well at all window sizes without making allowances for special cases. - Removed: redundant CSS rules - Added: centered images. Left-aligned images in a center-aligned column of text break flow. - Added: dark mode link colors for visited/active. Active link colors give better a11y. - Fix: don't show unnecessary scrollbar for <pre> blocks Also put more comments in the source to explain why each rule is important. All this shrunk the CSS from 1065 bytes to 882 bytes (17% reduction)

a:visited {
CSS: Dark palette: switch to yellow links The newish APCA contrast algorithm correctly reveals that blue-on-black and purple-on-black links have lower perceptual contrast than yellow-on-black links. A Fediverse survey with 19 participants revealed that others tend to prefer the older look over this one, but the number in favor was much larger than I thought; it was a 3:2 split. I decided that on my poor laptop screen facing sunlight with simulated color vision deficiencies, the yellow links are indeed easier to read so I went with them.

Support reduced-contrast + RTL in dark mode Use -inline-start instead of -left for machine translators that change direction. Wrap that in a feature query so browsers that don't support these rules can fall back to default styling. Those browsers are desktop browsers anyway, where this doesn't relaly make a huge difference. Add reduced-contrast for dark mode, for readers with severe astigmatism. Reduced-contrast is the same as regular dark mode, except that the background is lighter. Somehow fit all of this in <1kb, any bigger and I'll have to stop inlining.
