let's see if i can avoid repeating yesterday's performance

one of my friends made this puzzlescript #puzzle game recently. i think it's pretty tricky (i'm nowhere close to finished) but really good! https://jacklance.github.io/PuzzleScript/play.html?p=cfdcc6e23f1fb3e9de2fd42fafaf4d4c

a few days ago i was prompted to look at perl 6 aka raku more closely and learned that its ternary operator was ?? !!, as in

my $result = $score > 60 ?? 'Pass' !! 'Fail';

coincidentally, ?? !! also perfectly captures my reaction to finding out about it

spent some time this week tweaking my website (again), trying to find the right combination of accessibility, standards-compliance, bandwidth-friendliness, and aesthetics: https://beta.vero.site/

feedback/critique appreciated!

i was a bit confused by the medium and (shall we say) paratext of this website, but signs point to it being carefully handcrafted HTML

this person's website is also fascinating, right down to the HTML source code as well: https://www.robinsloan.com/

wow.
