One pattern I’ve now seen succeed a few times is wrapping the react-y parts of your application into web components. That does NOT mean exposing every component as a web component, NOR building everything with web components. Rather, use it

Oh yeah I assumed so. I just thought it was weird to not mention it in an article about ESM becoming the standard JS modules format. Even if it’s not the most performant use of ES modules, I still think it’s certainly the most official “sig

That would be expected for a browser environment though! I don’t want any module my browser imports to silently import something off the filesystem without telling me.

Huh, oddly no mention of native browser support in the form of <script type=“module”> and importmaps! To me, that felt like the last platform to offer ESM support. I also feel like browser support “feels” more official than support f

::picker() feels weird. Can the spec not require the base implementation for form elements to use popover/:popover-open?

It would be an interesting website if formatted like wikidata. Anyone can make/edit a magnitude, and the goal for moderation is keeping like-items in a context comparable. (Stadium Attendance has at least some commonality with Stadium

So I agree with you, but to be fair it is neat, and I think academia should be allowed to try things with little to no *immediate* commercial value. Being "neat" is enough IMO if there's enough resources to go around. In the

Also, just to add to that because it's on my mind now, I think there's a ratchet effect to "UI that screams at you" or at least "UI that tries to tap into my senses". The more of it becomes common place, the mo

Maybe if I can make a counter-point: a lot of these patterns are common place right now! And much more so than whatever golden era we want to imagine existed long ago. - Gestures in a lot of applications have made things more confusing by h

I totally understand the anxiety. If you get "DANGER!" pumped into you constantly, it's going to be hard to rationalize your way out of that. Have you two ever tried walking along the road at around the same time? A calm walk

Maybe a stupid solution to that, but it would be cool if each city+location also had a callsign shown next to their messages, and would get highlighted on their screen if you include it. That way you can at least get their attention after t

Interesting! How did you go about keeping this working in a sandboxed app? I know Rogue Amoeba had some issues with that up until lately: https://weblog.rogueamoeba.com/2024/12/13/the-developers-who...

Interesting! I think the idea of a "tone" in your content being enforced by a sort of... prose linter makes a lot of sense. You can assume 1 person with at least some practice in writing will have a clear tone and presence in the

The tweaked typography is looking better! You'll need to toss on <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> and add a small amount of padding around the body to make

While this does affect home electricity prices, doesn't this also affect costs in manufacturing? If trump's administration wants to promote american industrial manufacturing, the rust belt would be the place to do it, and this onl

Fossil is the SQLite one right? I would love to try alternatives SCM tools, but you run into the fact that associated tooling is so concentrated on git and its processes. I was using bitbucket and mercurial for a while! If fossil had someth

IMO, it’s not the technology that matters but the authoring tools. Flash was easy to pirate, sometimes free with school, and easy to use. Thinking of applications as “animations with scripting” was a great idea because it let people only le

So on the other side of this, I’ve also seen senior+ folk working on projects alone, with no collaboration at all, but still use a GitHub-esque PR/git-flow process. Almost feels like a professionalism-espousing self-flagellation. Creat

Not to be annoying, but maybe one of the most useful things git does for me outside of the usual SCM stuff, is git-bisect. Its saved me many hours of debugging. If you ever run into a case where something is broken (that you can measure, li

Huh, interesting to know! I can see the reasons for that rule pertaining to any medical donation generally, but in this case it does feel like a clear reason for an exception. (In my non-medical-ethics-trained mind.) If my blood was withhel

Oh yeah I know. I think you might have misread my question. Thinking more so about someone without this blood condition, getting a 1 time transfusion of blood (exactly like your example, after some serious trauma.) from someone with this co

Out of curiosity since it’s not mentioned in the article, but what would receiving blood with a high iron content implicate? Is it something generally tolerable by someone without the condition as a 1 time transfusion? Would you have to mix

The deeper I get into my career, the harder my bad decisions have bit me later. For JS-in-the-browser at least, I feel like it’s less about which framework/paradigm you pick today, but more about how your choices will limit your option

Browsers sort of went from a network document viewer with forms, to a whole application platform. It's sort of like grafting on changes to Acrobat Reader so it becomes a PDF viewer with WinForms + DirectX. The fact that we expect basic

Totally fair, but that's only the "deep end" for language learning right? If you wanted to learn a specific programming language for example, build something as fast as possible, tell people about it, and expect to fail. Most

IMO, learning a language was way better suited to impulsive excitement. (Of which ADHD folk tend to be experts in) I moved provinces to make that work (Ontario Canada => Québec Canada), honestly in a pretty stupid move. But now it's
