The table thing is so true. I was insistent on using LaTeX in school and on lab reports I actually ended up building a web-based tool that would convert xlsx files into LaTeX tables I could easily embed with my data. It was pretty janky but

I'm on MacOS; I think I found the issue in the code they use for navigation. It's checking for ctrlKey on the MouseEvent and not MetaKey as well, which is what CMD maps to on MacOS. I might email them about it.

They're most of the way to doing it correctly! What's missing is a few edge cases, such as ensuring the click is happening without modifier keys. This is how react-router handles it: https://github.com/remix-run&#x

Oh this is interesting; right click and "open in new tab" seems to work, but cmd+click (my preferred method) doesn't. They must have something else going on that interferes with it, very strange.

There's many things to love about the design, but the fact that they use actual anchor tags and override the default behavior with JS is extremely frustrating and makes opening in a new tab impossible. When I'm looking for parts I

They're such a nice starting place for embedded dev! I'd messed around with Arduino things for a long time, and recently started messing with the chip itself without the abstraction. The ATTINY series is powerful enough for many t

Glad I could help! This is definitely weirder CSS territory but it unlocks some really wonderful techniques.

The `data-text` attribute is used to set the `content` of the `before` and `after` pseudo-elements[0], effectively creating two "clones" of the original text. These get their own text shadows and clipping animations applied, which

Enumerable is one of my favorite aspects of the Ruby standard library! I've been writing it off and on for quite some time and still discover incredibly useful and elegant functions in there. It's incredibly rare to not find what

I've started diving deeper into EE after having forgotten nearly everything I learned about it in college. Falstad is such an amazing tool! It's so much more immediate and interactive than the average SPICE tool, being able to obs

What this article describes is no different than programming patterns in more traditional languages. I legitimately can't think of anything that has made it more difficult to write by hand in the last 15 or so years; if anything it&#x2

I can assure you, as an allergy sufferer, that vacuuming makes a huge difference in my well-being. Dust and pollen build up and make me miserable. Carpet is tougher to clean, and we're having wood floors installed in part to make clean

The Rust Audio discord is fantastic, and the people there are extremely helpful. They gave me a lot of resources for getting started with DSP, and the authors of various libraries were able to lend a hand when things went south. There'

I used to work at a startup that utilized Webflow heavily for the frontend. The CEO was a designer by trade and very good with it, so he would build out all of the pages there. We'd then adapt the markup into Rails views and include th

I never found it helpful from a purely technical perspective, but I found it extremely eye-opening as an unorthodox approach to programming that really captured my imagination. It was definitely something that encouraged me to dig deeper in

This is really exciting, I've been waiting forever for elastic scrolling. It seems like they fixed a majority of the issues that made Firefox feel awkward and out of place on MacOS. I might actually switch over now!

Absolutely. I went to Texas A&M and they take a lot of pride in the legacy aspects. The application even had a spot to enter that information.

Fair enough, I think it's safe to say that CSS has a skew towards the cascade and I guess I misunderstood your original meaning there.

I don't think CSS has any particular preference, which is why there's so many different ways to approach these problems. But I do agree, I don't think I've ever worked on a BEM codebase that didn't end up messy, and

Sass still has a lot of popularity in the BEM world where you can use nesting to generate flat classnames that would be tedious to write out by hand, e.g.: .element { &__title { color: red; } &__subtitle {

Imagine writing a technical blogpost like this only to have people in the comments wanting to discuss your gender. It's insulting and off-topic.

"Chip shortage" means a lot more than just microcontrollers. The ripple effects of it have affected all sorts of analog semiconductors and integrated circuits. I only do small quantities of electronics but I've seen the lead
