I thankfully migrated or left all Aurelia projects, but every time someone mentions it, I remember new horror stories. Its .html temples were shipped unmodified directly to the client. Except they weren't actually html, and sometimes t

Yeah, so you can't blame every performance issue you come across on a single topic, just because you've seen a YouTube video. If you look at the performance graph, you'll see that most of the time is spent on recalculating cs

IMO when you do control-flow in catch blocks, you're fighting against the language. You lose Typescripts type-safety, and the whole "if e instanceof ... else throw e" -dance creates too much boilerplate. If the config file n

iCloud lost all my data twice. Before that, it was always stuck syncing some unknown files. I also ran into problems where conflict resolution in Apples own office apps wouldn't work and I'd just lose one of the version. So yes.

(I didn't say to not use classes) Depends on the conventions of the project. Tailwind is acceptable (shadcn is a great starting point), but if I write them from scratch, I use css modules. You don't write component styles that oft

That's what components are for. One of the issues with classes is that you inevitably run into a behavior that requires additional dom nodes or js. For example, what if your most of your buttons need to show loading states [^1]. Bootst

I'm to young for Netscape, but do you mean this [^1] interface, that's truncating the subject and hiding the body? Also, which use-cases do you have where you need to see 20 emails at once? [^1]: https://www.pixelbeat.o

It's really convenient with search-as-you type patterns, where each keystroke updates an input in standard priority, and then a background update starts, suspends for the network query, and renders the list. Within the constraints of R

At least it would get rid of SEO blogspam, since these sites have "reputable" companies behind them. Search engines would probably skip any site that admits to being AI-generated.

I used to implement a system like this. Unfortunately, its not accessible. You at least need to keep a ref to the button in order to add the aria-haspopup attribute and return focus back to the button when the modal closes. This is why Radi

Thinking things through is desirable. But in many discussions both sides basically "vibe-out" what they think the objective truth is. If it's a fact that can be looked up, just get your phone and don't stall the discussi

This would probably be really useful when integrated as an automatic intermission before opening some apps like OneSec. As a desktop browser extension I would buy this in a heartbeat.

I'm also disappointed in Apple right now, but the screenshots of the Calendar and Gmail Apps in this post are even worse. Content in Gmail is separated by kilometers of whitespace with not a divider in sight. The calendar reserves 10%

Eh, it could be worse. It looks like the over-the-top effects are limited to a few top-level elements such as the Navigation View, Homescreen, and Control Center. I wouldn't be surprised if these get dialed back in the future - especia

Keyboard-accessibility isn't the only advantage of formatting characters. The most frustrating, throw-my-device-at-the-wall issue with 90% of WYSIWYG text editors, is the insane handling of invisible input states. - If you begin writin

Nevermind richtest company. It's like every year they release three new half-baked apps, that will not receive updates in years. Just focus on a core and let third-party apps do what they're good at.

There's an issue when integrating Signals (or Stores) directly into templates. TypeScript becomes unable to track how bindings relate to each other. This is described in the Solid documentation: https://docs.solidjs.com&#x2F

There can be multiple reasons. But iOS went 6 years with skeumorphic icons (post-iPad, post-Retina) so mixed-dpi screens probably weren’t the only factor.

It’s not a loop, it’s a spiral. Each idea brings a (partial over-)reaction to the last one. For example, flat monochrome icons emerged, because previously the UI was massively overshadowing the main content [^1]. So we traded the recognizab

Well how do you do server-side validation? Because now I have the impression that you're just defensively writing a bunch of if-statements. Or worse, you rely on html client-side form validation only.

That comparison is apples to oranges, because React components are typically much smaller than Vue components (think 20 components in one file). So while its true that a state update will rebuild an entire component, that diff might still o

Which they can still do. Printed HTML is perfectly serviceable (definitely better than non-printed PDF). Or are you arguing that there are somehow more people reading printed papers than digital?

That seems contradictory, when Latex is rather famously imprecise at placing figures and such. Weren't both languages (at least at some point) intended to take layouting control away from the writer? But regardless, I think that, in ad
