Do I know anyone who

organises hackathons?

Preferably not in German-speaking countries; we already have those.

Preparing for my sponsored 30 minute lunch session about #webmonetization at #btconf at 13:00.

It's actually going to be the first time in nearly seven years that I present something at a conference.

I'm in the market for a new CLICKER - my old one, which I bought for SxSW 2007, has finally given up the ghost.

Mac/Keynote. Preferably USB-C.

Any tips? Best/worst?

Strange poll. 26% of US voters may change their minds, while 66% won't.

So 8% of US voters don't know if they may change their minds or not ... ?

I'm now at day 8 of not smoking.

If it continues like this, I'm going to succeed in quitting smoking permanently. Though I thank the stars for bits of nicotine chewing gum when I really need it.

Meanwhile, a funny story is attached to my quitting ...

Listening to @adactio.com talking about user research, and it strikes me that quantitative research (looking at hard numbers) is like archaeology.

Like archaeological finds, the numbers give you a wealth of detail about all kinds of things EXCEPT for how people THINK.

You cannot infer why people leave a page quickly, just like you can't know why they built this huge structure in an unlikely place.

In the context of Apple and the DMA I recently saw something like "Apple also needs to engage with 3rd-party [something]".

I didn't bookmark it and now lost it. Can anyone point me to a description of what Apple needs to do with 3rd-parties to comply with DMA?

Apple gives in on PWAs.

In fact, it did so faster than I thought.

Good. Congrats, @owa

I need some good examples of relatively simple CSS and JavaScript functionalities that aren't supported by all browsers.

Last year this time the poster child was :has(), which was not supported by Firefox. I'm looking for something similar today.

Also for @natbat , does anyone have an actual case of a PWA failing on iOS in the EU?

What happens? What did you see?

No, not "Progressive Enchantment".

It's "Progressive Enhancement."

Well well, the first attempt to form a new Dutch government with radical-right election winner Geert Wilders has failed: centre-right NSC party leader Omtzigt abandoned the negotiations - for now.

Has any of my followers ever subscribed their website to Brave Creators? I'm looking for information about how it works - in more detail than what the Creators homepage shows.

I am, apparently, in the productization group. Until today I did not know that that word existed.

Given this HTML:

<dl>
<dt></dt>
<dd></dd>
<dd></dd>
<dt></dt>
<dd></dd>
</dl>

How do I select all <dd>s up to the next <dt>?

dt + dd only selects the first one
dt ~ dd selects all dds in the entire list, including the ones I don't want.

Finally got it:

dt:hover {
background: var(--accent);

& ~ dd:not(dt:hover ~ dt ~ dd) {
background: var(--accent);
}
}

dd:hover {
background: var(--accent);

dt:has(~ &):not(dt:has(~ dt ~ &)) {
background: var(--accent);

& ~ dd:not(dd:hover ~ dt ~ dd) {
background: var(--accent);
}
}
}

For the third or fourth time in more than two years I feel the desire to blog about this bit of code; especially the stuff I can't do but that's probably too complicated.

But I don't have a blog. Need to install Wordpress first (shudder).

A certain #css grid column can either have content or not - I don't know in advance.

Is there a CSS way to give the column width 0 if it doesn't contain content and width 1fr if it does?
