Blaiz0r··on Microsoft buys corp.com so bad guys can’t
You must not remember much about Microsoft in the 80/90s
Blaiz0r··on Switching from Sketch to Figma
It's great that you can use it, but it's still quite buggy for a lot of users, for me I can't even load it without it crashing, there are issues logged in the github

Except for fonts, there are issues using custom fonts with Linux.

This is exactly what every project should start with, instead of wasting time and bytes on a framework.
Blaiz0r··on Svelte Is Unappealing
Isn't it a little crazy that we have to have bespoke dev tools for frameworks and APIs?

Has any other language needed this kind stack to support it?

What did Nietzsche mean by that?

I believe that has now been addressed, hence the spike in cases as shown in the chart at the bottom rignt (on desktop).

Their IT department will handle it

Blaiz0r··on EU Commission to staff: Switch to Signal messaging app
It's not as though staff will be installing it from the App store on their phones.
Blaiz0r··on NPM: 429 Too Many Requests
Ah yes, I thought it was wrong when I typed it, thanks for the prompt.
Blaiz0r··on NPM: 429 Too Many Requests
It helps focus the culture on the business over other social queues and aspects, it removes the anxiety that different social groups will have with that workplace.

Blaiz0r··on What eight years of side projects have taught me (2019)
I'm one of these people that doesn't have much time less the energy to focus on side projects when I'm home from work, that said my career has been changing over the last few years and at times I rarely have any code to write at work.

These are the times when I really find a yearning to write something and I want to put a bit of time into a side project like learning Godot, or writing a desktop GUI based program with Rust.

I just need to be doing something different with my day job to have the inspiration and energy to code when I get home, unfortunately at the moment I'm coding at work again, and when I get home I will stare blankly at the screen infront of me if I try and write more code, even in a different language.

In addition to the first reply to your post, you may find it strange but having dress codes actually help promote diversity in workplaces.
Blaiz0r··on Performant Front-End Architecture
Yes people acknowledged that CSS was an improvement, but most of the shortcomings were not because CSS was at fault but that browser vendor implementation was slow and inconsistent.

CSS has always been relatively simple, the complexity came about by having to juggle workarounds and hacks to support all the different browsers.

I completeley disagree with your last statement, divs had been around for a long time before they became a one-hit wonder for all elements, nobody needed or wanted them.

Once CSS 2.1 was adopted and table layout was no longer required semantic html ruled.

Divs have only become ubiquitous since CSS and front-end frameworks have become so popular

Blaiz0r··on Performant Front-End Architecture
I'm not convinced that software has been increasing in complexity, I just think that more complex sites are being created now than in the past, and there are less capable developers having to work on these sites.

I agree that pressure is high and time constraints are tight and this forces people to look for an answer outside of themselves.

Blaiz0r··on Performant Front-End Architecture
Yeah, I know. Felt good to get it off my chest though.
Blaiz0r··on Performant Front-End Architecture
This is because Front-end web developement has been taken over by back-end developers.

Few developers complained about JavaScript until Back-end developers became 'Fullstack' and had to start working with it and tried to apply the same mental model they had used with Java or Python etc.

CSS was always something you had to dedicate time to, to master and learn the quirks of the current and past browsers, until Back-end developers decided it was 'terrible' and a race to the bottom of CSS frameworks was created and nobody remembered proper selection or specicifity as BEM was adopted.

HTML was a tool for layout which developers made good choices for thoughtful semantic code, so that it was easily readable, for both man and machine, yet it was a manual process. Then Back-end developers didn't have the time to learn something new and everything is a div and if you're lucky it will have a role.

Blaiz0r··on Nvidia Geforce Now launches at $5 a month
That would mean that none of the multiplayer games with anti-cheat software would work.
Blaiz0r··on Google tracks individual users per Chrome installation ID
Firefox isn't too slow, but you might be talking about how Google optimise their sites for Chrome at the expense of Firefox's performance through browser sniffing.

How do you get started?
Blaiz0r··on Mini projects built with VanillaJS. No frameworks or libraries
Yes, that's a good consideration, large numbers may have become unwieldy.

I think I would have preferred other html elements over the div even with flexbox css, but it's good to hear your reasoning over this.

Blaiz0r··on Mini projects built with VanillaJS. No frameworks or libraries
This runs nice and fast.

Out of interest, why did you use display: flex; on the li's and add the list number inside div's?

Blaiz0r··on Billie Eilish proved anyone can access Grammy-winning gear
Hmm, but I think having parents who are both actors/musicians probably helps get you on the road to win the awards somewhat.

Blaiz0r··on Jellyfin: A Free Software Media System
But Kodi can just play files off an attached/networked storage and collects all the metadata if need be, so what's the difference?

Whatever happened with _why?
Blaiz0r··on Zero Server
This seems very nice, like one step further from zero config bundlers like Parceljs.
Blaiz0r··on Vim 8.2
With Vim being such a complete and powerful piece of software that still receives useful yet light features and is extensible to a dizzying degree, it's hard to push vscode on programmers that want an efficient tool.

That is what a single, efficient, well organised CSS file looks like!
