What are the M and the C, and how do they talk to the V in this case?

I was puzzled for a bit about why this was the top story on the BBC right now — after all, they reported on Navalny's death two years ago, and on the results of some laboratory tests suggesting poisoning last September — until I realiz

I love its UI (apart from its slowness, of course). I find it much cleaner than Gitlab's.

I remember how react team's message, around the time hooks were introduced, was how hooks were going to save us from the tyranny of `this`, which people presumably found confusing. I often think back to that message, while adding thing

How would this help? You would want your header render on the server, wouldn't you? Not to incur a CLS penalty, right? How does a web component help in this scenario?

Yes; that's Eleventy. Or Hugo. Or Jekyll. They are extremely simple, without the bells and whistles of Astro.

Plain html has two things going against it. First, it doesn't have any provisions for code reuse. So, if you have multiple pages that use the same header, same footer, or same navigation menu, your options are either to copy-paste it (

Why did they want Gatsby's graphQL thing? What was attractive about it?
104.
by azangru 9mo ago
Vercel was founded (or co-founded?) by the author of Next.js. That's a very different story. Vercel is like what some hypothetical Astro Cloud could have become if it had grown out of Astro.

Eleventy, of course :-) But why are you looking for alternatives already?

It still baffles me why Netlify did that. Gatsby seemed to have already been dying, even before the acquisition; and it didn't look like Netlify was planning to invest in it.

Sure; but the article's premise is that street crime is falling (and as a result, the police, which, presumably, has more free time on their hands, can focus on other things). Assuming petty crime is street crime, and seeing that you a

I meant the CSS modules that are implemented by a build tool. And yes, mea culpa, they are probably a js-only solution, requiring a build tool to correctly interpret a css import (.module.css in the file name is a common convention; but it

I would have understood if tailwind got popular primarily among full-stack or backend developers: people who have neither time nor interest to learn CSS deeply. But, what contradicts this expectation is that one still needs to acquire CSS k

> You don't need CSS to offer an additional unit of reuse Erm. Isn't this one of tailwind's selling points? That you have a set of classes that you keep reusing?

Very different :-) Inline styles do not have access to @-rules.

Why do people prefer it over CSS modules? They also solve the style containment problem, and do not require any effort to set up, or any additional library to learn?
