We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

Edit: because this post is doing numbers it’s important to explicitly acknowledge that this is a bad take on a complex and big problem.

@scott tech bros are doing to sci-fi what politics has done to ‘The Thick of It’

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 @chriscoyier I’m afraid that’s how the community works. Nobody is really going to get hyped about my handful of tiny Web Components, they’re getting doughy-eyed at the big shiny frameworks. And I’m kinda ok with that. If Web Awesome helps Web Components attain a bigger audience then great. At least then more people get to appreciate a slice of the benefits to

New Web Component! <live-filter>

A Web Component for filtering items using a text input. Made this for a friend a while back and thought I should wrap it up into a neat package to go alongside my other .

I'll get a write up done soon but for now here's the GitHub repo and npm package:

Does anyone have the 8BitDo SN30 Pro controller? And can you measure it for me? I’m currently using a PS4 controller when I want to game away from home but it’s pretty bulky and just barely fits into my cable case

Edit: Found, 144 by 63.5 by 33mm

u tell me we're gonna get "transition to auto" you know I'm gonna play with it.

I'd share the Pen but I need to work on the accessibility of it a bit.

dropdown menus that open downwards, showing off a block-size animation that starts at zero and ends at the auto height of the menu. There is a submenu that does the same thing.

Nice to see alternative indie hosting platforms for Ghost. This one starts at $4 a month by @jannisfedorukbetschki)

@hank I think you’re missing the differences between what you would get on each. One starts at $9 but is managed by a whole team who have undeniably the most experience in hosting Ghost, and one starts at $3 and is run solo by likely a very experienced Ghost developer. Both can be good in their own way
