      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://georgefrancis.dev/writing/crafting-organic-patterns-with-voronoi-tessellations/">George Francis on Voronoi tessellations in generative art</a>. Enjoyed this. Seems like a decent alternative to circle packing at least some of the time.</p>
<p><a href="https://elisehe.in/2021/08/22/using-the-platform">Elise Hein on her experience with stackless dev</a>. The minimalist in me is pretty much always interested in this angle on web development.</p>
<p><a href="https://webcomponents.dev/blog/all-the-ways-to-make-a-web-component/">WebComponents.dev on all the ways to make a web component</a>. Lots of charts. Prism and Svelte look intriguing.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/designing-shadows/">Josh Comeau on designing beautiful shadows in CSS</a>. The techniques definitely make a difference.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/124111459/Impossible-Type">Fleta Selmani’s Escheresque impossible type</a> (via
<a href="https://kottke.org/21/09/impossible-type">Kottke</a>). Love this.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Links #48">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n22/katherine-rundell/consider-the-giraffe">Katherine Rundell on giraffes</a>. Unexpectedly fascinating.</p>
<p><a href="https://sokyokuban.com/#0">Sokyokuban</a>, a Sokoban game set on a hyperbolic plane. Mind-bending in a great way.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.swyx.io/preemptive-pluralization">Shawn Wang on preemptive pluralization when developing software</a>. This seems like a wise practice. (Not following it has bitten me more than once.)</p>
<p><a href="https://github.com/mmulet/code-relay/blob/main/markdown/HowIDidIt.md">Michael Mulet on how he made a video game in a font</a>. Fascinating and horrifying.</p>
<p><a href="https://blog.ayjay.org/the-blog-garden/">Alan Jacobs on blog gardens</a>. I’m particularly intrigued by the idea of writing about the same topic in depth over longer periods of time as a way of organically writing what effectively amounts to a book.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Links #42">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://iainbean.com/posts/2021/system-fonts-dont-have-to-be-ugly/">Iain Bean on system fonts</a>. I didn’t realize Charter is now a system font. (In macOS, it was apparently added in High Sierra.) That’s great.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/">Thomas Dimson’s This Word Does Not Exist</a>. Words generated and defined by machine learning. It’ll be interesting to see how machine-generated content affects culture going forward.</p>
<p><a href="https://arbesman.substack.com/p/-timestamping-science-and-magical">Samuel Arbesman on Newtonian anagrams</a>. Fascinating historical tidbit, and I’m interested in reading that Newton bio, too.</p>
<p><a href="https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets">Hannah Ritchie on the drop in land use if the world switched to a plant-based diet</a>. I’m not a vegetarian (though I was for a time when I was younger), but if plant-based meat substitutes get tasting good enough, I’d have no problem dropping meat from my diet. (I am shallow.)</p>
<p><a href="https://hynek.me/articles/semver-will-not-save-you/">Hynek Schlawack on the limitations of semver</a>. Good points with some good advice.</p><hr class="feed-extra" style="margin-top: 48pt;" /><p class="feed-extra feed-mail"><a href="mailto:ben.crowder@gmail.com?subject=Re%3A%20Links #39">Reply via email</a></p>]]></description>
