Sad to hear that about the PS3, seeing how long it took them to go to market. Been driving a Polestar 2 for nearly 4 years now and while it’s not a disastrous experience it could b…

I got a loan for a house 2 years ago. The process included showing our 3 last pay slips, the expected cost of the house (new build) and showing the bank how much money we had in ou…

Next should have the same functionality that Gatsby had when doing a static export: pre-optimised images for different breakpoints that are created at build time. That would be a t…

SVG elements also support currentColor for the fill property, which is linked to CSS’s color property. element { color: hsl(0 0% 0%) } One advantage is that you can target the pare…

Don’t get me wrong, I was just making an observation about a ‘role’ being specified. Not suggesting the role=“application” should be used here. Ultimately in my case I’m leaning to…

That's some good feedback and I honestly think this should have been an definition list from the start. I was interested about how it would change if I replaced those `span` with `…

I can't link the page, but this is a cleaned up DOM output (the extra spans/divs are components): ` IMDb 8.2 12+ 2007 Romance Comedy Cast: ABC DEF GHI ` `section ul { margin: 0; pa…

Pretty clean, I like it. I tested it out on a page I'm developing that has some meta data on a TV show. One of the elements is a set of divs each containing span with an `aria-labe…

Not if you consider that a lot of front end developers today started learning web development through JavaScript. I started around 2000, when people were still using tables for lay…

I wish! I love working with HTML and CSS, but every front end job is covered by the blanket term “front end” that considers you as much a JavaScript ‘architect’ as they do a UI dev…

As an unhappy front-end web developer I feel I'm mostly unhappy because my job title has stayed the same, while the responsibilities have changed drastically. I've always been a de…

Grid has been around for a while now, together with flex it’s the way to go to start building layouts. But like everything it requires practice to get the nuances down and learn ab…

We just turned back from Nextjs after a 4 month trial for a new application. Some issues we ran into: - The dev environment is too finicky. Full page reloads instead of HMR and ran…

Raycast - Replaces Spotlight for opening applications - Replaces Magnet for window management, same features but don’t have to run a separate app now. - keeps a clipboard history -…

While I haven’t read his book [0], I always enjoy the articles by Ahmad Shadeed [1][2]. The ones that focus on how big websites like Facebook implemented specific functionality and…

I was recently thinking of posting a similar ask hn, but opted not to because if felt too complainy and I’m not sure if the issue is with me or not. I mainly feel that the scope of…

I'm currently investigating the feasibility of using Next.js for a major refactor of our service and the one thing that stands out to me is how fractured the Next ecosystem is. Mor…

Alternatively, https://fx.wtf/ is also a great interactive viewer with JavaScript filtering that I recently discovered through HN.

What makes these brands leading in your opinion? From a tech and design perspective I get the appeal that VanMoof and Cowboy have, I've wanted one for years because of that. But in…

I've use React Router 6 in combination with @tanstack/react-query 4 in a ±2 month old project without issue. I did notice that React Router 6 annoyingly by default returned to an o…

I see people comment this on HN on a daily basis and it always boggles my mind. For me this reads as: 'This thing that was initially conceived years ago when computers were incapab…

I wanted to check out Factor a couple of weeks ago and got stuck on the installation step, an error about it using esmodules for lodash if I remember correctly. The docs were behin…

Ah, right. But the mesh useRef is not wat is being rendered, the `mesh` component is more like rendering a div. If you open the sandbox and remove the useRef mesh and references it…

I believe the `null!` is some trickery to let the rest of the code know that the `ref.current` will never be null, but with how React works you can’t really provide any other value…
