I found using inline CSS variables and clever use of selectors allows for both media queries and inline to work in harmony.

There's nothing to look at for the game. It's just a spreadsheet where I picked the English words from the Toki-Pona lexicon, and printed them out on paper. :)

by Vanderson 5y ago
I made a game based on the idea of Toki Pona using a sub-set of English. Instead of learning a new language (I tried to learn Toki Pona) I used Toki Pona as a template for basic English, Toki English, a subset of English. The benefits of To

Adobe Fonts is near the top reason I currently am pushing people I work closely with away from Adobe. Adobe's font control is simply dystopian. Many hours wasted debugging why a font was having issues _only_ in Adobe products, but not

I was a beta tester for Fireworks for one version. It was a pure joy to work with. It was the best web design/interface design software for years. And yes, another reason I have lost faith in Adobe as a company is them bailing on Firew

I won't be buying any Adobe products any more. From their extremely high prices, to forced subscriptions/cloud only products to their terrible security track record. Thankfully there are now many cheaper and better alternatives to

Wow, thanks this was more than I expected. Here's my considerations on your reply, though it's likely not useful for you, but it is good for me to write this out. 1) DB performance has as much (or more) todo with time sorting as a

I will have at most 100 users generating an ID in a day (on the project I am using ULIDs with). The possibility of them having a conflict with generating the ULID is so low that I don't even consider it a concern. So, "extreme con

Well, this is beyond my ability to grok. Does this apply to ULIDs?

by Vanderson 6y ago
In my case, I don't really need it, but what I read there seems to be a DB performance boost by having it. And finally, if I wanted it down the road, it's already there. Default sorting out of the box is kind of nice anyways.

It appears that UUID v6 is still a proposal, as of August 2020. Also, this sounds like a non-starter for UUID v6: "Like version 1 UUIDs, version 6 UUIDs use a MAC address from a local hardware network interface." https:/&#x2

What are the "annoyances and quirks" you are referring to? I hate programming myself into a corner only to figure this out much later. So I appreciate any serious feedback on this. I described the advantages for me in my first pos

Thanks for the alternative (KSUIDs) I took a quick look at it, and from what I can tell, if you aren't generating thousands of IDs 1 per second (or more) they achieve the exact same result. [0] I find the argument that ULID won't

by Vanderson 6y ago
I had not considered that. In my use case it's not an issue, but I can see that if the ID value is publicly viewable (ie, in a URL) and can reveal sensitive info via the timestamp... thanks.

by Vanderson 6y ago
After discovering ULIDs [0] I can't see ever using UUIDs ever again. ULIDs are sortable (time component), short (26 chars) and nearly human readable, and good enough entropy/randomness for everything I'd ever be working on. D

Grid and flexbox have different uses and values. I wouldn't give up on grid. There are things it does that Flexbox fails spectacularly at. (absolute layout control for one...) But also flexbox does a few things grid simply cannot. So i

Yes, this is my concern as well. From day 1 though, I considered Vue to be a tech-debt investment as a trade off for fast development. (looks like that day is here already, time to prepare to update code in the next couple years for v3) May

I've been working with Vue for front end, but always keeping my eyes open to the future. What do you feel Svelte is doing that hides "warts"? Hacky stuff tends to turn me off from a tech. (I consider all my Vue work to be ins

Sure, which is why I added "...or will be soon, I haven't followed this closely". For people who have to deal with browsers for their business this is important to know what's coming in the near future.

Thank you. I guess I always considered that a phrase regarding features where a browser doesn't have a feature yet, but will in the future. But I guess it works well for the other direction as well. (ie, a browser that will never have

Microsoft doesn't consider IE a browser anymore, they call it a "compatibility solution"[0][1]. If a site looks bad in IE, I think that is ok these days. (functional but ugly, is there an industry phrase to encapsulate this i

Flex: 1. For unknown number of items in one direction. (toolbar of buttons works better in flex) 2. Row-wrapping items. (ie, the unknown number of items need to flow with the screen, grid _stinks_ horrible at this) Grid: 1. Specific forced

I think it can be simple if you try to only solve a few things with grid. When I first learned grid, I could only figure out one or two things. Then I got ok with a few things, then I went crazy and made a magic framework. Now, I only use p

Sorry, I forgot about that rule. I really wasn't being critical of you not watching it. (There is no tone in writing to convey that extra meaning.) I was trying to suggest it as a helpful way to understand Rasmus' perspective and

I'd really recommend you watch the video to understand how long term development of a hugely popular system isn't as easy as it may seem. Especially if the environment is as dynamic as the internet. He addresses your issues about

I think it's a little unfair to not refer to his responses to these allegations in the video. He never intended PHP to last longer than 6 months. He kept waiting for someone to make something better so he could shut it down... it just

Anyone who has had to work on a single system for many years may be interested (even entertained) by this talk. One thing I appreciated about the video was how one of the biggest complaints against PHP isn't quite accurate: Inconsisten

One place this works, when your clients are able and willing to use the latest browsers to use your software. The primary benefit is that I don't have to rely on hacks. This is how I build the backend to my CMS and my clients are happy
