  • CSS finally adds vertical centering in 2024

    Jump

  • The first pass of elm ecosystem solved it. Before elm, it was also solved by other frameworks. But people wanted to be able to reuse their components and not rebuild new ones. React provided the ability to reuse css, and dirty js code in the middle of your application. You already had an way bigger ecosystem because you didn’t have to learn and built a complete new system again.

    Personally if I had the choice I believe a new start should start at the browser level. Stop supporting HTML/CSS/JS. Create a new app-centric DSL and not a document centric one like html/css/js.

    Ideally something inspired from cocoa layout. And I am dreaming but not accept generic code on the client side and only support a small controlled API. It would solve so many security issues. Sure, the creativity in such an ecosystem will be severely reduced. But we will have a so much improved UX.

    What's a good habit you developed you'd like to share?

    Jump

  • I use org-mode to maintain a todo list. A very important detail. All todo must have a schedule or deadline.

    Every time I open my editor it shows the agenda view that present me the list of tasks to do today and the ones I haven’t completed in the past.

    Mainly, if you can have a similar habit it will work as a meta habit that will improve and grow other time.

    Plus org-mode can do so much more, this becomes really useful. Like help with creating new habits, write dynamic documents, etc… I wrote an article about my workflow here https://yannesposito.com/posts/0015-how-i-use-org-mode/index.html

  • Best Privacy DDOS Blocking?

    Jump

  • If you don’t want to go full Cloudflare you can mitigate DDOS using these kind of technique locally.

    https://blog.nginx.org/blog/mitigating-ddos-attacks-with-nginx-and-nginx-plus

    Cloudflare will be a lot more effective in case of attack. But I don’t think most people need more than a few mitigation rules. If DDOS really come, there are very few things you could do to mitigate anyway.

  • I think unlike Google, there are still many pure engineers that need to contribute to open source to be motivated and are still have some power.

    I feel, but I am not sure, that for Google, thing have switched more and faster to the side of Big soulless corps.

    Generally speaking my experience is that even in these big soulless corps there are positive and passionate people. But quite often they do not have enough decision power to have a positive impact.

  • unlimited is a scam, people tend to take fewer days when you tell them it is unlimited comparatively as when they have a fixed number of days. I know, I did the same. Now I take care of consuming my allowed PTO entirely and I take a lot more days off than before.

  • 1984 world is about a totalitarian socialist country inspired by nazi practice of propaganda. So I would not say just fascism. But fascism is clearly part of the book, the novel also show that this could occurs also in a socialist state.

  • Say you only listen to Wing as the greatest magnificent singer of all time. You are particularly in love with her interpretation of Beat It where she clearly outperforms the miserable attempt of Michael Jackson.

    I guess with such an argument the discussion about your musical taste will not take long to switch to another subject.

    And also, I really, love Wing because she sing without any other goal than to make other people feel good. No attempt to be a genius or taking herself too seriously.

  • Not really sure whether S-expressions or Python indentation-based scoping get more hate...

    Jump

  • S-expressions are a hack because the Lisp devs didn’t know how to make an actual compiler, and instead had the users write the syntax tree for them. (For legal reasons I am being facetious).

    Just for anyone thinking you are serious; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression I love how S-expression existed.

    McCarthy had planned to develop an automatic Lisp compiler (LISP 2) using M-expressions as the language syntax and S-expressions to describe the compiler's internal processes. Stephen B. Russell read the paper and suggested to him that S-expressions were a more convenient syntax. Although McCarthy disapproved of the idea, Russell and colleague Daniel J. Edwards hand-coded an interpreter program that could execute S-expressions.[2] This program was adopted by McCarthy's research group, establishing S-expressions as the dominant form of Lisp.

    This put a light on Twin Peaks world and more generally David Lynch work. I think most of these delusions are present in his movies.

  • Should we block zerobytes.monster?

    Jump

  • Thanks a lot!

    I wasn’t aware I could block an instance via my user’s setting in the web UI. But I don’t see anymore these bot generated communities in the feed now.

    Thanks again!

  • Thank you! I didn’t realized I could simply block the bot and not every community.

  • Twelve billionaires’ climate emissions outpollute 2.1m homes, analysis finds

    Jump

  • I think we shouldn’t wait for the billionaires to disappear to make efforts.

    Saying as long as billionaires are polluting I can still pollute as usual is simply dismissing our own responsibility.

    Even though, I agree, billionaires should be the first to make the largest effort.
