What if AT&T acquired T-Mobile?
Downsides: reduced competition, increased costs, delayed rollout of 5G
Upsides: we could call it AT&T&T

"PWAs on iOS 13 beta: Here Comes Good News"
https://www.simicart.com/blog/pwa-ios-13-beta/
Looks like PWAs on iOS 13 will finally be fully usable. Looks like a landmark OS release for the iPad especially.
That said, I'm already using toot.cafe as a home screen web app on my iPad and it works quite well.

Icon Library by @bilelmoussaoui is here, and it's awesome!
It's the best way to find symbolic icons to use in your mockups and apps. Find icon names, copy icons into Inkscape, and include them in your project as gresources.
Get it while it's hot https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.design.IconLibrary

I've finally sunset the first open source project I built. I'm kind of bummed, kind of relieved, but mostly excited about the future.

https://every-layout.dev/ seems like an updated successor to https://learnlayout.com/. Looking forward to seeing more from these folks!

if you want to make yourself more effective, don't bother learning every new framework; focus on improving your soft skills. code is useless unless it's well-documented and readable enough for anyone to change it

Wise words on the debate over how to include CSS in JavaScript applications - and most other architecture debates!
"...the overarching theme that I think continues to get lost in super short social media conversations that we end up having, is that each solution has its own merits, and its own inefficiencies."

You don't have to be an expert on a topic to write a blog post. The best "101" introductory blog posts are often the ones where you're walking through how YOU learned something new - both the wins and the struggles.
TIL there's a scholarly journal focused on human-computer interaction! There's so much interesting stuff here, and a bunch of the articles are available for free.

Procrastination time: a cool site to learn how various parts of a synthesizer work together and build your own electronic sounds in the browser

Do popular design systems use web components to share functionality across JavaScript frameworks? Spoiler alert: it depends!

This piece on the last two Dance Dance Revolution machines in NYC and the people who play them is so so cool.

Morning reading: "Enabling Modern JavaScript on npm"
I never really thought about how much of a project's node_modules is imported in ES5. The performance overhead is frustrating, but in another way it's kind of a great problem to have: we can start removing our legacy adapters and shims, and we have to figure out how.

I know that it's not cool to get excited about e-mail anymore, but I am about the Inkscape mailing lists moving to a modern Mailman with Hyperkitty.
https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/36679864/
New lists are here: https://lists.inkscape.org/
A surprising amount of work to get that all working, but it is, and we've published the Ansible scripts here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/services
