Andy and I have been hand washing dishes for weeks because we don’t want to call someone to get the dishwasher fixed. Couldn’t be more millenial if we tried.

Seconded!

Are folks using things like margin-inline as shorthand for left/right and margin-block as shorthand for top/bottom?

Or do you avoid that because of writing-mode/direction/text-orientation?

Or are those not really a concern in your usage?

@lonekorean totally. So convenient!

recipe web sites that give you the author’s entire life story before the recipe instructions đŸ€ all youtube tutorial videos

@keithjgrant@front-end.social avatar

@zachleat I've noticed an additional trend that involves step by step, deep dive into the instructions BEFORE the ingredients list and final recipe (and after the life story)

(check out https://cooked.wiki/ if you haven't)

Instead of CSS Masonry can we have currentBackground instead pls

keithjgrant,
@keithjgrant@front-end.social avatar

@belldotbz that would be great but I’m genuinely not sure how it would work. Would it only use the exact background color of the current element? What if that color is a semi-transparent white but it’s in front of a vivid red ancestor element?

The joy of landing at SFO on time, but then having to wait an hour on the tarmac before your plane gets a gate assigned đŸ„Č

@bramus oof. Reminds me of the time I took a 45 minute nap on a plane, then woke to find we hadn’t yet taken off

Didn’t realize going into it just how much assembling a garden drip irrigation system involves holding two pieces of plastic tightly and pressing them into one another as hard as I can. Gonna have several blisters after this I think

If you’ve got 99 bottles of beer on the wall, why are you passing one around? Clearly you have enough for everyone to have their own bottle.

Apparently #CSS color-mix behave differently in #Chrome and #Firefox

@h4kor @Sirs0ri yeah most browsers have/had a number of bugs in the new color spaces. Chrome has fixed a lot of them IIRC. https://keithjgrant.com/posts/2023/11/problematic-color-gradients-and-workarounds/

Really considering starting to post recipes on a blog, not because I want to be a “food blogger” (ugh) but purely because the web deserves some un-bloated, ad-free, tracking-free recipes somewhere

@jeffsheets Yeah this is a fantastic resource. It’s just kinda sad that it needs to exist

Apple's iMessage only syncs about half of my conversations to my Mac (seemingly only when every participant in the chat is on iMessage). Is there any way to make all conversations sync?

iMessage is such a cluster. I wish Apple would just use open standards, and/or allow me to use another message app (i.e. Signal) as a first-class messaging app

WTF would you put a 25 minute construction delay on a road that is the only available detour for another major construction project? I just spent 45 minutes getting through construction zones only to have no time left to run the errand I went out for

The QA often tells me when my code “works as expected” but just once I'd love it if they said it “works, as expected”
