๐Ÿ“ HTML attributes vs DOM properties.

They're completely different, but often coupled.

What if I told you that most promoted actions about climate-friendly software are misguided?

Backing data for that claim and my opinion on the low-hanging fruits:

https://blog.ltgt.net/climate-friendly-software/

Key takeaways:

  • Pick servers in carbon-neutral or low-carbon datacenters first
  • Optimize for the perceived performance and battery life
  • Don't be the one that will make your users change their device
  • Sometimes, ideas aren't even worth their impacts

@timbray There are so many use cases for AI and all the buzz is around "generic" GenAI. Computers should be about automating boring tasks to leave us the creative ones, not the other way around.
So mostly annoyed by the buzz.

@argyleink Your "IN" and "OUT" comments seem off to me.
IMO the starting-style defines the IN, and the non-starting-style and non-open style (in the first rule, the transitioned properties' values) defines the OUT.
The second rule defines the style of the showing popup/dialog (and their backdrop)

โ€ข attribute reflection in web components following the HTML specification
โ€ข WebIDL type coercions for your public JS APIs (including web component properties)

https://github.com/tbroyer/platformer

Comes with ECMAScript decorators (compatible with TypeScript 5.2+ and Babel) for vanilla custom elements and Lit elements.

Currently not published on NPM (as I'm still evaluating whether all of this is a good thing worth pursuing ๐Ÿ˜‚ feedback welcome!)

#TIL any errors thrown in attributeChangedCallback get swallowed. They're not propgated to whoever called el.setAttribute('observed', 'data').

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@zachleat @develwithoutacause Probably because no built-in element would ever throw when changing an attribute.
State is derived from attributes, but attributes don't directly "set" state, and it's not abnormal to sometimes be in some sort of "invalid state" and you have to cope for it.

Would you like it if you had to be careful updating min, max and value in proper order or it would throw?

See https://blog.ltgt.net/web-component-properties/ where I touch the subject a bit (among other things)

@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

Built-in HTML elements' properties all share similar behaviors, that don't come for free when you write your own custom elements. Let's see what those behaviors are, why you'd want to implement them in your web components, and how to do it, including how some web component libraries actually don't allow you to mimic those behaviors.

Does anyone outside the RHEL ecosystem use Podman? ๐Ÿค” Whenever I suggest Podman, other developers or PMs insist on Docker, which is far more popular and has a stronger brand. Even many RHEL users prefer Docker. Red Hat should have addressed Docker's issues instead of creating another tool that, while good, few people want. And yes docker can run rootless too but it has same limitations as podman rootless like can not bind below 1024 port or create device nodes etc

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@nixCraft Due to how we use Docker at work (mostly packaging and distribution, running in dedicated VMs as if we didn't use Docker) we've been contemplating using Podman instead to avoid running too many things as root, but haven't had the time to experiment yet. Main changes are UID/GID mapping, important when you use bind-mounts for persistence (rather than volumes) so you want control on IDs outside the container.
Also clients use Podman or kaniko for building images on gitlab ci/cd, rather than docker-in-docker.
I still default to Docker on my dev station but experiment showed I could probably switch to Podman with no impact.

Okay, so when making a popover I think the logic should go something like this:

  1. Use title if the content of the popover is just text.

  2. Use the popover attribute if the content is more than plain text and like a menu of options or something.

  3. Use <dialog> if you need to force the user to make a decision or block all other interactions on the page.

: Always use === over ==.

=== applies much more reasonable behavior for operands of different types, mainly by not coercing them together like == does.

A lot of developers will tell you to learn the rules of coercion and use it when appropriate, however I disagree for one key reason. Consider this example:

if (foo == bar) {  
 doSomething();  
}

Question: Did the developer mean to use ==? Is the coercion intended or a typo?

It's incredibly difficult to know with any amount of certainty as this depends on the types and semantics of foo and bar.

If I was writing this intentionally, I would feel compelled to write a several line comment about how coercion behavior applies here in a desirable way. And if you need to write that much explanation, it would be much less confusing to actually codify the desired behavior with === and explicit type checks so devs don't have to understand that coercion.

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@develwithoutacause @flensrocker Pareto law: it's much more common for null/undefined to be interchangeable than being treated differently, so == null without comment, and add a comment whenever you need === null/=== undefined.

In the EU, iOS will soon allow multiple browser engines. Is this the end of Safari's dominance on iOS? Will it fall into obscurity? Will it eventually be discontinued? Will the tables be turned as Safari becomes a Chromium browser? That would be ironic.

https://dutchcelt.nl/posts/the-singular-web/

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@dutchcelt Do you think Apple continues to invest in Safari because of some sunk-costs fallacy? They could have already switched to Chromium a long time ago, so I don't think this is going to happen.

As for whether Safari will lose its dominance on iOS, I'm not sure either: people don't care about the browser engine, they care about integrations and they (already) use Chrome on iOS because of how it can sync their data with their Google account, whether WebKit or Chromium.

It does feel like there's a fundamental incongruity in that the web (http) is stateless but user expectations for apps/websites are stateful.

But maybe that's a feature not a bug?

"Hit refresh" is the HTTP equivalent for โ€Have you tried turning it on and off again?โ€

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@jimniels That HTTP is stateless does not mean "the web" is stateless. It means state leaves on the client side (if only a session cookie), possibly "linked" to data stored (temporarily?) on the server.
This is what makes it "easy" to have load balancers and shared caches.

Iโ€™m ambivalent about ad blockers:
โ€“ I understand why people use themโ€”most ads have become nasty and obtrusive.
โ€“ There really arenโ€™t many good alternatives to ads for content creators: People arenโ€™t willing to pay for content but donโ€™t like ads either.

What are your thoughts?

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@leeloo @rauschma Not a good metaphor if you ask me. Those who see the ad (or graffiti) on the trains aren't the train owners, they're people who didn't ask for anything and see the train pass by (and train spotters of course, they're not there for the ad either), or passengers at the train station before getting on the train.

Ad networks pay site owners to show ads to whoever "passes by"; they come for the content, and see the ads (more like billboards, that don't move, rather than trains though I'd say).

I do use a blocker because of abusive behaviors. I wouldn't mind less intrusive and more secure and privacy friendly ads.

(and you're still in control of your screen: don't you choose to visit websites whose owners chose to be paid to have ads?)
