A good example of why such equipment needs to be properly setup and not just thrown in. Nice to see they quickly reacted and fixed the situation once the issue was reported.

Honestly… same here. There’s a chance it might finally collapse at least partly.

Interesting stuff coming especially on the CSS side.

Not the first time I bump into an article about that one. Solid.js is definitely getting close to something I might enjoy using (unlike React which I dislike quite a bit).

CSS is definitely a rabbit hole full of features. That delays quite a bit the time when you need to use Javascript.

Interesting set of tips. Indeed that’s a good way to reduce quite a bit the complexity of your application web frontend. Might not be always applicable though.

Couple of interesting tips in that vim setup. Always surprising how much can be achieved with such a small setup.

Oh this is really neat! This is a good way to visualize how it evolved over time, I find the period starting in 2005 especially interesting.

Very interesting article about perspective. It touches upon human vision, painting, photography and 3D. In the in what we produce is mostly an artistic choice and it gets into interaction with how our brains interpret them.
