Nice, it looks like a work in progress but already looks sick, how’d you feed the tree menu styled like that? I’ve been meaning to do something but I’ve been putting it off

That’s probably more correct actually, I guess primary source would be talking to witnesses or the subjects themselves.

I think you’re assuming I’m calling for perfection and suggesting people abstain from something less than perfect, we live in reality most things aren’t perfect. Even if Wikipedia was the least worse resource people would still do themselve

I guess I had public discourse in mind when I was saying people to readily invoke claims of bias. Also alternative media which tends to be on the other extreme of being overly cynical. If PM appeared on the news obviously no one would belie

I think academics are too critical for a source of general surface level knowledge. But it’s no substitute for primary sources I don’t think the problem is anyone can jump on and edit Wikipedia, they have process, but it’s the processes, in

I think that’s fair. Though I think the sources sometimes also aren’t at great times.

I’ve said to a few other replies, but tbc I wasn’t promoting other mediums as alternatives. > I don't think people tend to blindly trust Wikipedia any more than they do for other sources of information I actually disagree or at leas

More professional organisations definitely have some kind of CMS, with potentially their own version management (at least for what’s published). But I also don’t think we can fault people for preparing their piece in their preferred writing

My point was mostly, people just aren’t as aware of issues with it compared to other forms of media. Issues in other forms of media don’t change that or make it less of an issue. At the end of the day you’re gonna to consume information fro

Idk if this how it came off but just tbc my point also wasn’t indirectly promoting traditional media. I think a lot if ppl are rightly sceptical of traditional media, but I feel I see more people giving Wikipedia a pass or placing it on a h

Feel free to actually articulate the actual issues you’re referring to. It’s been a while since I watched it but the thing I remember taking away was you can do a lot better than Wikipedia, and he encouraged people to spend more time lookin

I think a lot people underestimate how arbitrary some editorial decisions on wikipedia can be. Yeah perfect is the enemy of the good but imperfect is still imperfect. Can’t say I’m a fan of jj mccullough‘s opinions on some stuff but his vid

People have pointed out to what’s Obviously wrong with the JS tooling but I had more problems with CSS style sheets generated at runtime or web components attached stylesheets They all work is just editing their styles that seems to be a pa

Nice, definitely one of the interesting ones here

That's fair, it sounds like you're dealing with some use cases I don't deal with often. And yeah remote debugging safari on an iPhone is pretty unreliable.

Hmm i think you’re working on something similar to me, take a look http://localhost:8080/

I love this I made something like with a similar aesthetic a few years ago but themed after win95 (which seems to be hardly unique these days). But it had a secret gimmick where aspects of it were implemented with in terms of itself (mostly

I don't think JS debugging in Safari is that bad. But I also use it as my main browser, so maybe there are some nicer features in other browser dev tools I haven't been exposed too.

Possibly of interest by if you use dvh over vh units for screen height you can avoid scrolling on full height websites. The d stands for device. Is something I’ve had pain with repeatedly on getting websites to look nice on iOS
