Seriously, we import all the hyper-commercial "holidays" from the US, and then skip the one fun one (Halloween). (Yes I know (I think) that it did not originate in the us.)

Surely a site that banned ElonJet can't with a straight face be called a beacon of free speech? (Edit: I would be very interested in an attempt to justify that based on free speech principles though.)

That generated some more question :) But on the ECSS homepage I see selectors like `html`, `.flex-module` or `.is-loading` (I'm assuming `flex-module` and `is-loading` aren't components - if they are, then that sounds like being p

That's fair enough, but I do still expect that someone who really wants to avoid CSS will still be put off by the extent to which Tailwind still is, in essence, CSS. I think Tailwind has advantages (the ones you note), but "being

by Vinnl 2y ago
Well, Tailwind doesn't really solve that for you either - you pretty much have to know CSS to be able to use it effectively, in my experience. Technically, you may not really be writing CSS, but in practice, I think all the reasons you

> I address the problem of relevance by inserting the CSS right into the component with a link tag. If the component is not used, the CSS isn't either. Do the selectors in those style tags not apply globally? How do I prevent contri

by Vinnl 2y ago
Ok, my problem is that I don't know just by reading the styles that other contributors wrote, whether they are still relevant, or if the HTML they applied to was changed or removed. They didn't write clean atomic commit, and I can

I have some American "bicycle people" as colleagues, and most Dutch people certainly aren't "bicycle people" like they are, even if they cycle every day, just like how people just driving a car aren't necessari

The question is: is the flow worse for people in general, or only the ones in cars. If those cyclists and pedestrians would've been in cars (i.e. if there wasn't good bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure), would the flow for the

I do imagine those places benefited from the cultural mindshift originating in dense areas. Just a guess, of course.

Oh wow, I never even consciously realised the zoning-out benefit - I already just appreciated them for being able to take off more quickly.

I think it depends on the teacher, but mine didn't teach it either. However, I have been taught from a young age to watch out before I open the door, which is still very relevant even if you're not in the driver's seat.

Keep in mind that this looks like it's using a lot of spaces, but there's only one lane for cars each way. Cyclists and pedestrians use way less space than cars, so if a significant part of the population uses those modes of trans

That still sound valuable if people generally tend to do it badly? If only to provide an argument for doing it properly.

Unfortunately, realistically, you can only really rent your domain, no?

I'm fairly sure there are more people with various accessibility needs, so we can start worrying about those once everything is fully accessible.

Well, that's a confusing name - we're using JSX (as in, regular JSX) to write MJML templates in. Main pain point at the moment is dark mode, but it doesn't seem like JSX email has much to offer there either, unfortunately.

Heh, fair enough I suppose, though it's definitely not very nice to make people believe that I can give them permission to do things, when I don't.

The government already knows where people live. Every time you move, you have to notify your municipality.

True, the guard rails there are that you can only do that for at most 2 people, limiting the impact of potential fraud there.

In the Netherlands at least, you just get a voting card sent to you by mail, and you have to hand that in to vote. Since you just have a single card, you can only vote once.
