Test in screen readers and see how content is being announced.
Lists have certain semantics which are very useful. Definitely good in navigation (aka nav > ul > li).
Grids are also useful BTW—we don't have specific "grid" tags in HTML, but using ARIA attributes you can set up grids which might map onto div tags or even custom elements.
Personally, I'm much less concerned about ul/li than I am "div tag soup" which is a plague upon modern web development. Use div tags sparingly, and almost always see if you can reach for either (a) a more semantic HTML tag (e.g., key/val pairs should probably be dl/dt/dd tags, not list tags), or (b) custom elements…yes, authoring tags with one or more hyphens which are purely for developer comprehension and hanging CSS off of is perfectly fine—recommended in fact—and in some cases if you need some JS component logic as well, then boom you have web components.
Some things never change…
All right, I'll correct you because you're wrong.
What bothers me is an open source tool enhancing a proprietary service which by its very nature breaks open source licensing and in face copyright protections of all sorts across the entire internet.
Not downvoting because I appreciate the effort…but ChatGPT is about as opposite from the ethos of open source as you can get imho. 😄
Maybe it's a PNW thing? Except for a few "big box" chains, virtually every market I can think of with a local flair offers indoor seating here.
Can't speak for other folks, but I always look for a proper bike rack. Seems like good etiquette.
I was surprised that even here in Portland, OR…not far from downtown…I was on my bicycle and pulled into a small shopping center. I guess you could call it a strip mall, but it was pretty small and completely surrounded by small residential streets.
So imagine my surprise when (a) I couldn't find any bike parking in front of the main grocery store. I had to walk entirely across the parking lot and over to the side of a dentist's office. Then (b) I went back to the grocery store and discovered it had no indoor seating. There was plenty of room from what I could tell—they had an entire wall dedicated to greeting cards and another entire wall dedicated to flowers. But nope, nobody can sit here—even though they have a significant large deli! They did offer a very bland outdoor seating area over on the side of the building, but given it's been windy and a bit drizzly I decided against it. (Also it was deserted for obvious reasons.)
Folks, I am so weary of bike/pedestrian-unfriendly retail. The accommodations car drivers get that we don't continues to astound me—even in areas which are presumably "progressive". 🤨
Ruby, absolutely. Still brings me joy with its expressiveness and flexibility.
yeah…doesn't mean I have to like it though! 😅
Looks nice! I like that idea of a Markdown page being itself a Vue SFC. Pretty clever.
I'm all for making fun of the Cybertruck, and anything from Felon Husk really, but I'd bet real money that thumbnail photo was doctored. I tried searching around for verified photos of rust but nothing substantial came up from a reputable source. Anyway, just wanted to point this out.
Oh yeah, thanks for bringing that up. And maybe we stay away from WordPress.com now with all the weird AI stuff they've been up to. 🤪
I all for removing barriers to entry in this space, and if you're talking about self-hosting everything and wiring up all sorts of bits and bobs of various services together manually, yeah, it's very technical and daunting. But somebody can get started on Ghost, or WordPress.com, or Buttondown, or ConvertKit or whatever. Lots of ways to write early and often online. Buzzsprout is pretty rad for podcasting as well.
The problem usually boils down to distribution like Nilay said, not hosting. Fediverse seems like a real solution here. Honestly I've never been as successful at both blogging and podcasting as I am right now. This isn't merely a glimpse of some old-school internet nostalgia trip. It's a whole new world out there and it's actually better. 🤩
Squash merge into the main branch. It's the only way to fly. (just my 2c!)
I'm a blogger and a web developer, so IMHO:
Blog-style sites have never been as cheap to run as right now. For small-to-midsize sites run mostly as static sites, it might even be close to free.
Virtually all cost is in the human labor, and the challenge of running a sustainable business model like subscriptions off of "words" which I think are valuable but getting audiences to agree is very hard.
But we might be seeing a turnaround here. I'm hopeful!
My daughter told me she was getting paper from the other room to draw on, and as she ran off I replied "Sounds ink-credible!"
Opt-out is bullshit, it's unethical. Unless people specifically give their consent to their content being used for training data, and are compensated if they wish to be compensated for that privilege, then it's just not morally defensible. Legally defensible? Sure, maybe so. But we don't like to support companies who are merely abiding by the letter of the law, we want them to abide by the spirit of the law and of treating their customers with respect and consideration. This is not that at all. 😕
Yeah, it was a mixed bag at times plot-wise, but I lost my shit when the you-know-what suddenly appeared on screen in Season 3. I was screaming and screaming at my TV. 😂
One of the best damn moments in all of ST fandom for me.
"physically easy"
Sure, because our necks, backs, and hips are all feeling so great all the time with these long hours at the desk.
"pays well"
Some tech jobs are connected with living in places with high living expenses, not to mention some tech jobs aren't at Big Tech firms so the pay is lower. Struggling with finances doesn't magically disappear because you're good at code.
"people think you're smart"
lolololol said every person ever who isn't white man passing or perhaps presenting as one of the "privileged" minority classes.
Look, do I agree tech jobs on average are appealing compared to many other professions? Sure! But minimizing—verging on gaslighting—the very real harms people may suffer while working in tech is irresponsible. Our industry has a long way to go to provide real equality, equanimity, and stability.
Someone in your organization needs to be in charge of frontend fidelity. I don't mean an official job title, I just mean someone who has taken it upon themselves to have a "the buck stops here" mentality—better yet someone who is recognized by the rest of the team to have that priority.
If nobody else fits the bill, then that person is you. And by all means, make all the stink you want about these issues. Nobody should ever be touching global stylesheets that affect multiple components or screens throughout the system without there being subsequent review or issues filed in a very visible way. Ideally, those sorts of breaking changes would never make it through code review in the first place.
I was today years old when I learned that Tim Russ was in Spaceballs. 😅
Yeah, that's not remote, that's on-call. 😅
