TIL Chromium ships a `scheduler` API to break free the main thread. 👏
@malchata describes it in great detail. 👇
web.dev/optimize-long-tasks/
ALT function saveSettings () { // Validate the form at high priority scheduler.postTask(validateForm, {priority: 'user-blocking'}); // Show the spinner at high priority: scheduler.postTask(showSpinner, {priority: 'user-blocking'}); // Update the database in the background: scheduler.postTask(saveToDatabase, {priority: 'background'}); };

Apparently the images on my blog were broken after the latest @eleven_ty update, but they are fixed now! Something to do with addPassthroughCopy in combination with setTemplateFormats, pickup up the image twice and not copying it.

Holy moly! 🤯 CSS :has() also unlocks a "previous selector"?
From @jimniels post. 👇
"Select every <p> element that directly precedes an <hr> element and style the <a> link inside of it."
