It does not count as "easy" if the features don't stay disabled.

Why not learn from past failures? Then everybody gets a great user experience, not only those of us who know how to set up a pi-hole. Everybody wins! Apart from the framework-indus…

I actually tried to shoehorn AI into https://code.movie/ as an experiment once, but it only got unpredictable and of course extremely slow. Hand-tweaked magic numbers plus escape h…

The bigger ones do more out of the box! Most obviously, they include render functionality, which Ornament does not — you get to pick and choose your building blocks yourself.

My day job is all about doing presentations, so I obviously wrote my own slide software. It is a pure expression of my workflow, my requirements, and my idiosyncrasies and the way …

Fortunately it is very easy to opt out of all of this. Nothing stops you from having a backed deliver HTML and then sprinkle some basic JS and CSS on top. In theory at least, in pr…

The real problem in my experience is that people who consider themselves to be "real" developers don't care about CSS. I do a ton of code reviews and consulting for companies of al…

Not true, member state's contributions are the largest "money maker": https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/policies/financing-the-eu...

To try and limit one's use of operations on types, as suggested in the article, is not really great advice in my opinion. Sure, you would not want to actually implement and use a V…

Not quite! If you have an attribute "onclick" and set the DOM property "onclick", the attribute value stays unchanged, but if you click, the function set by the property gets calle…

The real fun comes when you consider the interactions between setting an event HTML attribute and the DOM property. If memory serves, setting the DOM property for eg. "onclick" to …

If just being self-employed counts and raising the bottom line counts as "take off": I should have made my services much more expensive much sooner. I less than 40% percent of pote…

After many years of following the JavaScript ecosystem, there's one thing I learned: most of the "many things" out there don't stay relevant for long. I personally make a conscious…

getElementsByClassName and getElementsByTagName return live HTMLCollection objects that update when the DOM changes (or rather get re-computed when you access their contents follow…

As someone who wrote their last lines oh PHP in something like PHP 5, this list tickles my desire to take PHP for a spin again. Not only does the language appear to be much improve…
