The weather has been gorgeous this week. So glad it’s going to drop 25 degrees and start raining for the duration of the Bloomsday road race tomorrow before warming right back up

🔗 An Alternative Proposal for CSS Masonry

My initial gut reaction was of course masonry should be part of grid, but Rachel makes some very good points here. Whole segments of the grid specification would have to be ignored for a masonry layout, which she itemizes well. The way it would break grid-template-areas is a huge deal, IMO; that is the primary way a lot of developers use and understand grid. I think Rachel is right.

“Amazon has launched a new ‘one-click to quit the union’ tool, and they’re relentlessly pushing it to every worker in their Coventry warehouse. […] If a worker scans the QR code and clicks the link, Amazon’s software automatically generates a letter from the worker and then emails it to the trade union, ending their membership.”

A legal challenge to some gnarly union-busting tactics that Amazon’s deployed in one of its warehouses in the UK: https://www.foxglove.org.uk/2024/05/02/legal-challenge-to-amazon-uks-new-one-click-to-quit-the-union-tool/

DevTools have come a long way lately, but I really need them to help more when I'm trying to find where a property value is coming from and it's a custom property that's derived from a custom property among a laundry list of 200 other custom properties

Excellent, Google. Perfect system you've got going here.

#CSS: AFAICT, it’s not possible to hide all HTML .fragment elements after one with the marker class .current

<ul>
<li class="fragment">One</li>
<li class="fragment current">Two</li>
<li class="fragment">Three</li>
</ul>

<div class="fragment">
First
</div>
<div class="fragment">
Second
</div>
<div class="fragment">
Third
</div>

Workaround via JavaScript: Add class .hidden to all .fragment elements and remove them, one by one (vs. “moving” class .current).

Maybe I’m putting off that 10 minute task because ADHD. Or maybe I’m putting it off because a bureaucratic nightmare means it’s actually a task that won’t get anywhere after two hours and it will require me to revisit it for multiple such two hour sessions to actually get it done

Does anyone have a password manager recommendation that's user-friendly for less technical users? We switched to 1Password last year and it has honestly been a nightmare for my wife

I can’t even browse recipes on my phone anymore, they’re so laden with JS bloatware and ads. My phone gets warm to the touch and scrolling becomes unreliable. What a mess

Anyone use Protonmail as your primary email? It seems like it'd be nice to more fully divest from Google. Gmail/Google Calendar are my last remaining strong ties.

A TV episode is never made more dramatic or suspenseful by opening with some bad situation followed by “24 hours earlier” and then actually starting the episode.

Just start the episode at the beginning. If that doesn’t do the job, the writers failed to create a compelling story.

Aw yeah, closing out the week with another negative-lines-of-code PR 💪🏻

I made mint chip ice cream with fresh mint. It’s delicious but it’s kind of a whole different thing. I think next time I’ll still add a couple drops of the artificial stuff

Setting up child #Microsoft / #Xbox accounts for my 2 youngest kids.... was just about the most unfriendly user experience I've ever had.

The Live ecosystem that MS uses for accounts just redirects you constantly, forgets who's logged in. Keeps having to re-authenticate me but sometimes it asks for an email sometimes it emails a code. It's anybody's guess!

So I'm juggling access to my email, my 2 kids' emails. Some stuff needs an app because the website can't do it. I had 3 browsers open....

OK I understand the meme of hitting on #JavaScript frameworks, I get it, there are too many of them and all.

But let me tell you:

I'm implementing a web app with AJAX only and it's such a pain in the ass, I now completely understand the desperate need of JS frameworks for these use cases (SPAs).

It constantly feels like everything is hacked together and convoluted that I'm SO close to write my own framework each time I open my editor.

Spoiler alert: I won't, though.
