Hey Fediverse, I'm looking for my next role as a engineer!

What I'm looking for:

  • a collaborative, kind team
  • at a company with noble goals, or that knows what problems it has to solve

I'm the Lead "Frontend" engineer who creates table indexes because "the UI is slow".

Point me to a mountain and I'll climb it.

Prior experience with . I've dabbled with for fun, and in a past life.

Appreciate any advice or connections!

Hopefully quick CSS question:

If you declare layers in one stylesheet, do you have to have the styles associated with those layers within or imported into the same stylesheet, or can they exist in completely different files, as long as they're all linked into the same html via the head?

Thank you!

@sarajw And to answer your primary question, once a layer name is established you can use it in different files. It's recommended to do order-setting for all your layers as the first step in your first imported file, eg

@layer reset, default, primary, secondary;

That way it's clear where the order is established

Start here by deleting everything Google thinks it knows about you.

Then pick up with my tips for Google free living.

It’s so much better out here without a data-sucking behemoth controlling everything you see, flooding your search results with spam and injecting the internet with LLM-generated sludge. Bonus, if you leave, your data stops contributing to serious ethical problems.

Thanks for @Em0nM4stodon for passing The Verge’s How To along.

@cyberlyra excited to read through this! Right now the #1 challenge is being on a Pixel phone, but switching to iPhone doesn't feel like the right move.

ETA: Thanks for the suggestions, I went with moo.com!

Anyone have an online printer they like for full-bleed business cards? There's a company I usually use but they keep assuming the parts of my design that are supposed to bleed off are actually mistakes, and they resize my art to fit in the center of the card! After repeated failures with them, I gave up - but I still need new cards.

Okay, so how'm I gonna fix the "next/older" links on https://schizo.social?

There're multiple accounts now, so I'll need to know a "max_id" for each instance I want to query.

Suppose I could just pass an array of ids instead of a single one. That's gonna make for some ugly urls...

I don't like the idea of keeping state in session though; a recipe for weird behaviors.

@schizanon Depends on the framework! Torn between 2 and 4.

2 is likely the most universally supported, 4 if you know it'll work.

peeps — is there a way to build a selector that finds (to use an example) ‘h3.post a’ or ‘h3.post-title a’

ryan,
@ryan@hachyderm.io avatar

@grmpyprogrammer If you're looking for a selector that affects an anchor in either of those classes, the laborious way:

h3.post a, h3.post-title a {...}

ryan,
@ryan@hachyderm.io avatar

@grmpyprogrammer any time! I'd personally go the :is() pseudo-selector route.

Expresses the intent, is easier to maintain. The only surprise might be additional specificity, but if that's a problem (likely isn't) you can use :where(). Happy styling!

I need to make a scale-ish (accuracy ~2cm) map of our garden, to plan irrigation and planting and stuff. Anyone got recommendations for good 2D drafting software to do that?

So far I've tried SolveSpace and FreeCAD, but both really don't enjoy being used for purely 2D drafting where the manifolds don't look like they'll be extrudable into 3D. But I also really like constraint-based drafting, because the garden shape is irregular and my paper sketch has just the right dims for constraint layout.

@danderson It's been a minute since I tuned into the CAD space, is SketchUp still a free tool? I remember the 2D only view being really useful a few years ago
