Language syntax is always a highly personal matter, subject a coder's preferences. That being said, I'm not very fond of the latest changes that have been implemented in the Python language. The "walrus operator" being

Interesting to see how you implemented this. I've created a similar service like this for internal use at a startup I'm working on. The basic idea is the same but I also implemented key deletion (HTTP DELETE) on top of read and wr

Agreed, income isn't a problem. It's vision. But I don't want to support Mozilla in a financial way if their vision doesn't match my own. This may sound presumptuous but we really need an open web and Mozilla is one of t

Fully agree with reader mode, it's an integral part of the browser. VPN not so much IMO.

That concurs with what I'm seeing. Also on Arch and while I updated yesterday, FF performed perfectly until this morning.

If that's the case then I might be wrong. But I remember updating somewhere yesterday and using FF for a couple of hours before stopping for the day. This morning no pages loaded anymore. Hope I didn't jump to conclusions, but sti

It is time for Mozilla to stop messing around. They are losing user trust extremely fast. A silent FireFox update that cripples the browser? No active update was done since yesterday and this morning: a broken browser. Please stop non-brows

I'm curious if you can link me to more information on Taconite? I have been explore the techniques used by "HTML over the wire" and htmx and would like to delve deeper into older systems or technologies that were using these

I feel that it empowers me as a Backend developer and makes me productive on both the BE and the FE. For one it adds a simple set of primitives I need to learn on top of HTML (a basic tech to know), so no large JS frameworks or patterns to

I guess everything really is cyclical :)

I recently started using htmx ( https://htmx.org/ ) in combination with Django and have become a firm believer of sending HTML 'over the wire' instead of JSON structures that then get used client side.

I've been using my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) for the last 7 years, fortunately without any issues! I've never had to have any repairs or replacement done to it. A small dent and some scratches in the lid are the wors

So basically you're saying the researcher decides the product direction and not the users? feign shocked face In this case I believe a heat map is a bad way to decide product direction. The amount of clicks don't tell anything a

Fosdem is a really great event. No corporate (or too much) involvement. A true volunteer run conference with great talks, great people and great Belgian Beer :-)

I suspect YMMV, I'm currently working with a very good frontend developer and he takes a very proactive role. Tasks are finished properly and he gives his own input / vision on how to approach certain features / problems.

An interesting tool is the Gemini portal over at https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/mozz.us/ This allows you to browse Gemini space through a classic Web browser.

I've been diving head first into the Gemini space this weekend and discovered some really great content. It takes me back to web of the early 2000's where you had websites with manually curated content (webrings! link rolls!) inst

Yeah I closed the article after that display of user hostility. How can anyone think that’s a good idea to add to their website?

PSA to all Open Source maintainers: offer a version of your software for sale! In many cases I work on projects that use an open source package where donations are the only means of support (if possible at all). I could never get a client t

I agree and unfortunately that attitude is spreading beyond the JS community. A great example is the issue newcomers to Common Lisp face. I don't want to get in specifics regarding the Lisp community here but one common complaint is th

In the past I would fall back to WBM when something is no longer online. Though recently I've been bookmarking interesting content very rigorously and just rely on the archival feature of my bookmarking software.
