Updates on Delta for iPad:

• Yes, it’s coming!
• We’ve been working on it for a while and it’s near completion, just need to finish up controller skins + fix some last bugs
• We didn’t prioritize iPad because plan was to launch in just EU with AltStore PAL (which doesn’t support iPad)
• Obviously plans changed when Apple changed their rules, so we’re prioritizing iPad now and it will come with the next major Delta update (1.6)
• It’s available now for Patrons through regular AltStore 🙂

@rileytestut how does the Split View controller work? It looks kinda like a custom keyboard. I admit I've never managed to get my head around how all the Split View / Stage Manager stuff really works on iPad (as a user)

@passle Shiki web bundle seems to be over 4MB? Is it possible to just to bring in the tokenizer bit?

scrwd,
@scrwd@mastodon.social avatar

@DavidDarnes @passle I think it will be interesting when this is targeted directly by libs - so we might just see lean tokenisers maybe - right now using an full existing lib that can run on the server, in the browser seems like overkill for syntax highlighting on a blog - maybe it's cool for interactive tools tho. Aside from a smaller amount of elements in the DOM I'm not sure where the big benefits lay - like is that enough?

I would like to get panels - my house is just about perfect for them - but total cost will be like £10,000 (UK) and I won't break even for around 7 years, by which time I will have hopefully long-since moved on from this house.

So… is it worth it (to me financially)? Do solar panels increase the actual value of your property?

Why don't I stick?

@zachleat any chance you have knowledge of any up-to-date benchmarks of SSGs?

Also, speaking of 11ty specifically here - when it is intended to run on the server - what sort of build times would you be looking at during development? I have maybe ~10k markdown files and I'm just wondering what the content author experience will be like (I'll not be popular if they are waiting 20s or more after each change)

Researchers make a plastic that includes bacteria that can digest it

Bacterial spores strengthen the plastic, then revive to digest it in landfills.

@arstechnica I have a few concerns - like when the plastic is "broken down" what chemicals are left in the soil that would otherwise be trapped in the plastic? Do these bacteria release the carbon in plastic into the atmosphere? Is it wise to help create bacteria that tolerates higher temperatures? And finally, is this another "Big Plastic" rouse to delay moving away from plastics altogether?

Does anybody have a better way to do gradient border buttons (or boxes) with transparent background and flexible dimensions?

Here I'm using a strange-scaling SVG image as a mask over a gradient fill - it works and allows buttons of any width or size, but has a few too many "parts" for my liking.

https://codepen.io/jon/pen/yLrygwa

P.S. border-image is not a solution here because it would distort the gradient.

Has anyone seen a good or similar project where there is an array/grid of arcade style illuminated buttons and some sort of game mechanic around pressing them? I'm just wondering if there is a cool project I can do to impress my 3 year olds haha.

Just a thought - not necessarily a good one - if I created a custom element <site-layout> and use it to insert blocks of content into specific <slot> elements it could create for quite lean pages - but I guess it would mean using shadow dom too…

I wonder if this something @enhance_dev makes better - I need to take a look again.

&lt;site-layout&gt;  
 &lt;h1 slot="header&gt;Title&lt;/title&gt;  
 &lt;nav slot="sidebar"&gt;…&lt;/nav&gt;  
 &lt;main slot="content"&gt;…&lt;/main&gt;  
&lt;/site-layout&gt;

Any good way to toggle the open attribute on a <details> element according to a media query - essentially watching for changes? And is there a terrible accessibility reason not to do that? Basically it's about hiding content on smaller screens

I think fediverse stuff is a bit weird. I think I'd prefer to think of everything as ActivityPub clients. I think i'd like one id that was me to be usable by any client, and if that client focuses on some features more than others then cool. I think "activities" like sharing a status, or photo should be individually subscribe-able - for example, I could be "Bob" on both Wicker and Pictigram - single sign-on - but Wicker prioritises showing my statuses and Pictigram my photos so the streams.

Are Mozilla and Firefox paragons of virtue or merely the least corporate option? I see Mozilla has seemingly made lots of "missteps" and dubious decisions that have irritated people over the years. The last decade or so web people have been particularly grumpy - maybe since the demise of our mutual enemy Internet Explorer there's a void or two that people are trying to fill.
