- Use borders instead of <hr>
- Distinguish <kbd> from <code> and body text with boldness
- Improve dark contrast and make dark visited links look distinct from
regular text
- Improve focus indicators
- Shrink some excessive alt text
- Remove some redundant links
- Screenreaders that split elements up aren't just on touchscreens
- Mention ChromeVox in list of screen readers
- Move TOC higher in page
- Spelling
- Drop more unused classes
- 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.
The only visible change to page display should be author names in
webmentions. Besides that, this commit only alters the underlying markup
to improve metadata extraction.
- Add more microdata for webmentions, authors, dates, etc.
- Add microformats2 for webmentions
- Add authors to webmention text, when available.
Some browsers/addons allow shortcuts for going to the next/prev page by
matching links with the word "next" or "previous"; Tridactyl is one
example. I thought I'd add a next/prev link to make it easy to binge
this blog.
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.
