   There is some merit to the criticisms, though they were given with a total lack of tact. Web standards are important and define multiple ways you can provide custom attributes while still working with valid code and not stepping all over th

   Perhaps a VM of an OS with an old copy of Flash, virtualbox.org might help. I wonder if any of the Microsoft legacy VMs for web testing come with Flash preinstalled: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge&

   That's gotten trendy in the recent past, but I think you have a generation or wave of developers who literally don't realize it's an interpreted language and you can write short, very sweet vanilla JS and have it run almost e

   Each of these languages you mentioned is extensible, so to a large degree you can shape them to fit your needs! I don't do native software development but just looking at things, it seems like software is eating the world, but also at

   If you want to do this, look into autonomous custom elements, you can make something like `<x-card>` …no class name required!

   I use CCL and a set of helper functions (that take continuations) so I can quickly and easily generate bits and pieces of HTML from my shell. I have previously written the same helpers in JS, Python, and Ruby, but there was a certain elegan

   The blur filter is notoriously slow on performance. I find it interesting that the author didn't explore the "spread" parameter of box-shadow at all, I wonder if they realize it exists https://developer.mozilla.org

   TBH we don't require open source desktop software equivalents to popular windows stuff, just good enough web based software. I don't think Adobe is #1 in their market anymore, there's a lot of competition from things like Fig

    I have been searching for something like this for years! Wish it wasn't Firefox-only :( What would it take to get it ported to a better browser? Here's my crack at coloring or syntax-highlighting the parts of english speech for ea

    Mozilla is kept alive by Google funding, without Google Mozilla simply wouldn't even exist right now to be building anything. They are direct collaborators, not enemies.

    These technologies are very deep, and the pool of developers with the skill, time, desire, and understanding to hack on these things is a very shallow pool to pull from. It seems like a lot of companies working on browsers are under-staffed

    From a dev perspective it also loosens Google's grip on Chromium, the #1 rendering engine :D Having Microsoft collaborate and diversify that project is a major win for all of us. I am hoping/wishing that Mozilla will drop gecko de

    It can be straightforward if you maintain two entirely separate kitchens forever :D It seems like the complexity comes in trying to chart a path through the grey area between 100% separate and 100% integrated.

    On iOS/iPadOS _all_ browsers are using Safari's webkit engine to render. That goes for FF on iOS, that goes for Chrome on iOS - it's all webkit.

    I think the future of CSS is that we'll see all the innovation from the CSS-in-JS world come back home to CSS stylesheets. It's hard to beat the high-level declarative nature of writing style rules in a stylesheet that can style a

    CSS custom properties don't need JavaScript to work - they're a platform feature. You can read them and interact with them from JavaScript just like any other CSS property, but just like any other CSS property it can be used 100%

    I've had my eye on this for a while, it looks great! Co-designed by James Clarke (of SGML, DSSSL, and XML fame) and it uses XML as a built in native data type. I don't do cloud stuff but I can't wait to give this a spin and s
