But with that attention, there’s definitely been some consternation about just how wide-reaching Magic‘s aesthetic is getting, between experimental in-universe sets and those aforementioned “Universes Beyond” bringing more and more licensed material into the game.

An affordable MacBook powered by the iPhone's A18 Pro chip could launch later this year for $600, according to a report from Taiwanese publication DigiTimes on Monday. The latest report corroborates a note by prominent industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo from last month that said Apple was working on a new MacBook Air powered by that processor. A $600 price point would be a significant step for Apple's attempt to break into the affordable computing space. The report does give a range, however. While

In 1978, a dredging gang working for British Waterways was struggling with a problem. They were trying to clear obstacles on the Chesterfield Canal so they could stabilise a concrete wall — not an easy day’s work. But what really had them stumped was a heavy iron chain on the canal bottom. After various attempts, they hooked the chain to their dredger. That did the trick. A firm pull removed the chain and the block of wood on the end of it. The gang took a well-earned break for tea. The tea bre

The Joy of Mixing Custom Elements, Web Components, and Markdown I love Markdown. I write faster and more natively in it than any other format or tool. If we zoom way out, here’s the most basic philosophy of Markdown: replace complicated stuff with simpler stuff. That’s all it does, really. It replaces some tedious nested taggy stuff with way simpler stuff that makes more visual sense and is faster to type. At its core, Markdown is really just a bunch of macros.
