I recently used Turbolinks + Stimulus for a Django side project. While these projects originated in Rails, it was quite easy to add to Django with some middleware and webpack tweaking. Stimulus provides some good structure and constraints f

Perhaps the SPA pattern, for all the justifications from developers (and yes, of course there are genuine cases where it's a good fit) is really an outcome of Conway's Law[1] in action. In a large enough organization, you corral y

Seems we are going full circle: the Python ecosystem had component-based template languages such as ZPT (Zope Page Templates) and Genshi. The former I think is still used with the Pyramid framework, but mostly these approaches have been rep

They are different. Spectre is more like a lighter, smaller non-JS version of Bootstrap, but both still provide recognizable "components" like navbars, form inputs, dropdowns, tabs and so on which are common to most web sites and

Developers learn quickly that the only way to get a decent salary and/or job security is to cram as many buzzwords into their resume. Companies don't like to invest in training, so the only other way to get those buzzwords is to f

One thing that turns me off using Firefox Containers in earnest is that they are not integrated into Firefox Sync and nor does there appear to be a way to backup the URLs/containers as with other extensions - so I end up having to rebu

Same here in Finland. No snow, or maybe an occasional flurry or morning frost that melts the next day. Feels very ominous.

Another example is Jaws: the mechanical shark didn't work very well, so Spielberg had to rely on the human characters and dialogue, a fin above the water, shark-eye-view shots, and John Williams' classic score. Based on what littl

The recession in the early 90s in Finland was partially the result of the collapse of the USSR (Finland had exclusive access to this market, despite being a Western democracy, since WW2) but also due to a banking sector that was liberalized

Sure. I'm wondering whether something like Dark Reader - i.e. an addon or even as a standard browser feature - might be more helpful to people who genuinely need dark mode everywhere, rather than trying to persuade thousands of site ow

by danjac 7y ago
What about browser addons like Dark Reader? Would that make more sense than relying on thousands of sites to have a reliable dark mode (when the vast majority won't support any kind of dark mode anyway)?

Looking at the code base, it doesn't look like there's any CSRF protection in place. Not sure what other security issues there are but I'd be careful about using this. You probably want some tests in there as well. Overall lo

Assuming your field is web development, what is not a niche skill? It seems the choice of backend frameworks is somewhat fragmented with no clear default winner.
