I've been using Linux on/off since the late 90s. And now, both my mini-PC and my laptop are running Fedora, and I swear by them. So as much as I want to believe that others share m…

Yeah, that was my first reaction to that headline too. Given a second thought, he probably means the opposite of "replace", so in this context, " maintain people." maybe? I know ma…

Cool stuff!

If I may ask, what do you use to host now?

podman-compose is "mostly" compatible. I "plain" podman at work, but there we just have a bunch of shell scripts that spin up/down/build containers. For regular dev work, it's fine…

podman-compose has gotten much better. I used it for a work project a few months ago, and it ran fine. That said, I know there are some random little things podman-compose doesn't …

Interesting that ports can be written so quickly with AI. But that aside, I have to ask...why? You want a super performant bundler/runtime/package manager written in rust with TS s…

Amazing!

Cool! Thanks for the response, I'll give it a shot again sometime

I lean towards vanilla javascript and webcomponents myself, and eschew large frameworks in favor of lighter, or in some cases, no framework at all. That said, this and many other w…

Neat, and neat to see the burn framework getting used. I tried this on latest Chromium, but my system froze until my OS killed Chromium. My VPN connection died right after download…

Yeah that'd be really something. If you could just pay the cost up-front, rather than worry about how much every newer request cost, that really changes the game. There's still man…

Artifactory works fairly well. Although admittedly, when a user grabs a new dependency, they're downloading from the npmjs registry like anyone else. Really, the killer combo would…

Bringing it back to the site, the author does describe implementations of context providers and signals: https://plainvanillaweb.com/blog/articles/2024-10-07-needs-m... https://pla…

I really wish web components weren't promoted as a "framework alternative" and more of a standardization of custom display components. Frameworks like enhance.dev and lit.dev are g…

So this isn't even a question about web workers, it's a question about how to prop-drill non-string/number data through multiple layers of web-components. Tbh, I'm not sure there's…

>just adding a method to a class. OOP 101. You're right, it is just a method call from a class. Nothing interesting or new. And that's exactly why I like it! I like me FE code as b…

Great resource! I particularly like the fact that their web component section doesn't use the shadow DOM. It's really too bad custom elements got associated with shadow DOM, as the…

You can invoke custom methods and pass in any kind of data into them. As in class SomeElement extends HTMLElement { constructor() { super(); } someMethod(x) { this.innerHTML = ` ${…

>Perhaps nostalgia and the principle of KISS (and a few others) is clouding my judgement here, after all, frameworks are made for a reason. But it's difficult to imagine a new engi…

The nice thing about the plain "vanilla" approach is it can be used to enhance a more traditional SSR-rendered site. And it doesn't need a complete rewrite in React or whatever. Th…

I've been using Zed for a few months now. One thing I really like about Zed is its relatively discrete advertising of new features, like this edit prediction one. Its just a banner…

How would plumbing and wiring work? The article states that the wall is a semi-hollow, corduroy pattern, so do the printers leave openings in the walls so pipes/wiring get shoved i…
