The RSS feeds use escaped HTML instead of XHTML, which improves
compatibility with certain feed readers (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).
Mention that Outlook uses its own weird engine for feed contents in my
web best practices article.
- Re-order rel for my homepage's representative h-crad
- Fix the aria-current for the homepage
- Microdata: remove unnecessary "sameAs"
- Reduce "update without adding date updated" timeout to 15min
- Add u-uid and rel=me to my h-card on every page.
The site now has polygot markup and can handle both XHTML5 and HTML5
parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.
If other tools (e.g. LightHouse) end up supporting XHTML5, I'll consider
switching the content-type to XHTML.
All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
Pulls content exported from Buku, so I don't have to commit every time I
add a bookmark.
Since I added another nav item, I had to adjust the navbar css.
- Wrap the <a> in a <span> to make the h-entry expose an author URL
(link to homepage). Useful for sending Webmentions.
- Switch from schema.org/Article to schema.org/BlogPosting
Inspired by the h-entry implementation on Charlie Owen's personal
website: https://whalecoiner.com
The u-photo re-uses the 32px favicon that the browser has already
cached, so it shouldn't bloat up the page anymore.
These changes required a bit of additional CSS. I snuck in come color
changes too.
- Add open graph metadata for other apps to display link previews
- Add more rel="me" metadata for the Indieweb. Getting on the Indieweb
will take some time, but this is a good first step.
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.
