Microsoft Edge, an app for restarting and applying updates that also can show web pages

I know it's a privileged thing to say but web dev isn't fun for me at the moment. I'm annoyed and bored. I guess it's because after every high (interop) comes a low, and most importantly I'm just really annoyed by how terrible the condition of most websites is. Not just in terms of accessibility. Ed Zitron's “Better Offline” summarises well what I mean. (https://www.betteroffline.com/).

Also AI is claiming it's share of annoying me.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired.

Space suit technology is kinda amazing. I also wasn’t aware that no new EVA space suit model has been developed since the 80s.

@mvsde I was literally at the NASA visitor center in Cape Canaveral a month ago, and they were showing off some new designs in the works for future EVA suits

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@mvsde Yea, I REALLY dislike that. The Cape Canaveral Visitor Center is basically one giant Space-X ad.

Medical professionals still think that slapping on a medical mask will magically remove all virus from the air - like viruses spread like alpha radiation as opposed to like smoke from a cigarette.

“Would you like me to put on a mask?”

“Sure - if you also flush the air out of this room like you are blasting the alien queen out the airlock”

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@andymoose On top if, they don't even fucking wear them correctly most of them time. Loose, ill-fitting, tons of gaps. It's beyond frustrating.

jQuery plugins depended on jQuery, and when jQuery went out of favor, they ended up in the junkyard.

There is all sorts of componentry built exclusively on React, limiting it to React-based sites. As React goes out of favor, they will end up in the junkyard. (Same with any framework-specific extension.)

But with Web Components... it seems like the story will end differently. If they are built without dependencies, they might just live as long as the web does.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@DavidDarnes @chriscoyier But a lot of what people are getting the most hyped about are not, unfortunately. Web Awesome. Lit as a tool. Etc.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@bendelarre @chriscoyier I see it as a potential future failure point and a maintenance/dev issue

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@bendelarre @chriscoyier sounds like you’ve never had the joy of going back to code months later and having to spend hours fixing node dependency chain issues.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@DavidDarnes @chriscoyier if the web ends up littered with a bunch of “could have just been HTML” that only renders with JS, I’m not sure that’s a win.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@DavidDarnes @chriscoyier I agree! HOWEVER... when I see folks get hyped about stuff like Web Awesome, it simply being built with Web Components doesn't feel like a "win" so much as an implementation detail.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@konnorrogers @bendelarre @chriscoyier one of the many false myths about vanilla JS. Sounds true. Isn’t.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@konnorrogers @bendelarre @chriscoyier This is right up there with "vanilla JS doesn't scale" in terms of things people blindly repeat without any data to back it up.

To those Americans getting offended that their president and country are being criticised for arming a genocide may I just remind you that there is something a tad more offensive than being criticised for arming a genocide which is arming a goddamn genocide. Get some fucking perspective.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@NoFlexZone @aral Ah yes. Shouting about Biden on Mastodon will definitely do that 🙄

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@countmonty @Radical_EgoCom @tadbithuman @aral You mean like Hamas agreed to do, but then Israel just went and bombed the fuck out of Rafah anyways. GTFO out of here genocide apologist.

I have been reading through the State of HTML 2023 results site (https://2023.stateofhtml.com/) and I am so disappointed in the overall efforts — both in the questions and in the code.

This may become a blog post.

I filed 3 issues today, have filed 15 since late 2022, and only 2 have been addressed:
https://github.com/Devographics/Monorepo/issues/created_by/aardrian

But these surveys keep pushing problematic info in problematic UIs, giving the wrong impression of… everything.

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@aardrian I still think it’s wild that they had a well known industry voice driving this project and had this many issues.

remember when trump said if we just stop testing for covid it would go away as if by a miracle and everyone thought that was a scandalously stupid thing to say

on an entirely unrelated note since 3 weeks ago the CDC no longer requires hospitals to report covid hospitalizations and now biobot is no longer showing covid wastewater data for the US

cferdinandi,
@cferdinandi@mastodon.social avatar

@eniko It's been fascinating watching Biden basically repeat Trump's covid approach and get praised for it. He's botched this thing so bad. It's infuriating.
