Jeez, the stretch to the furthest thumb keys is an RSI injury waiting to happen.

Macs have numerous weird issues that seem to be beyond Apple to fix. My pet hate is that there's no easy way to just create a new file in Finder. On any sane operating system you'd just right-click and select "create new text

Is there a follow-up?

There are loads of those already. For chucking together something decent quickly we need more 'block' level components than elements. I tried not to buy flowbite but it just speeds things up so much, it's a no-brainer. This i

No, the main problem it faces is outside the highly security conscious/paranoid crowd, nobody cares so it'll never gain critical mass and be useful.

Did you study business? It's no wonder so many fail when most people don't bother to study business strategy, entrepreneurship and marketing first.

Anyone any good tips for stopping it sounding like it's writing essay answers, and flat out banning "in the realm of", delve, pivotal, multifaceted, etc? I don't want a crap intro or waffley summary but it just can'

That actually sounds OK. The lede seems buried in the docs, which focus on how it works not how to do what you want to do.

It's more just the fact that a single page gets unnecessarily split across multiple files (where there's no reuse with other pages). It makes refactoring difficult and slows development IME.

You only need partials for shared templates instead of multiple per action on a single page.
704.
by nprateem 3y ago
No it's a point because the number of endpoints and partials explodes to support every action in the page that uses the "get HTML and replace it" pattern.

by nprateem 3y ago
Because instead of needing separate partials for your inline edit template and all the other actions, you just stuff them into the page as hidden divs. This means you have a single template per page and only need to split out partials for t

by nprateem 3y ago
We did this 20 years ago and you just end up with piles of unmaintainable partials all just used for a single page. It's far better to use something that at least embeds the templates in the web page with some simple js to show it (eg

What? If they could have predicted the severity of WWII, Chamberlain and the rest wouldn't have tried to appease Hitler or delay. Predicting the severity of events in advance is difficult. I wouldn't listen to what historians pred

That's like investors trying to predict a crash. You can only ever make sense of things retrospectively.

And people tend to trust you for it since they admire your honesty. Often pretty rare in companies full of people sucking up for promotion.

This looks great, and the editor is nice and snappy. I'm not a react guy but might have to learn... Did you use a component library to build the editor? I see you're using next.js for the site, but was there anything that got you

You have to write that (or similar) in UIs too since X just looks like a mistake/null value.

If you look on YouTube, almost all US woodworking channels remove the riving knife and blade guard. That just encourages new woodworkers to do the same. They then demo rabbit blades which are illegal in the EU due to being so dangerous.

I've been doing this for years. It's a twist on writing a letter you never send. Scribbling it out or chucking it away is an obvious next step.
