New topological T-Shirt emoji just dropped.

It stays on 100 for quite a while and then starts dropping RAPIDLY. like 10% in a few month.

Except when my app I made up of multiple parts that are deployed separately this doesn’t seem to be necessary or am I missing something?

Chinese hard sci-fi. And I mean HARD.

This should also work with any similar framework.

The good thing is, this is gradual and you can slowly make stuff more dynamic for example to extract blog posts. But I find it insane how much easier stuff becomes if you handle all the data in JavaScript and then have the site rendered vs having a database with WP crouching on it.

I recently migrated some WordPress sites to Next by having a scraper download the HTML and assets of the live site and then doing a lot of search and replace magic to convert it to a Next site in ~a day.

Do native speakers also struggle with this? I have no trouble with the German version of these but then again they are not abbreviations for Latin but for German.

Just found out that as awesome it might sound that @container queries support height queries, this only works for containers with explicit height i.e. container where you already know the height.

Given their handling of any physical unit, decimal separators and date formats I think we can all appreciate that at last the United States adopted left to right writing.

Oh god I’ve been waiting for something like this for ages. And also have so many edge cases so curious to see how it’s implemented.

The worst offenders are those things where you need a plugin to TURN OFF a default Wordpress feature.

Wordpress strength isn’t it’s plugin eco system. Wordpress weakness is that even for basic things you have to pray someone build and still maintains a plugin because doing any customization yourself is incredibly cumbersome.

I also don’t see the plethora of WordPress plugins as a win. It’s a bad incentive to just throw together random stuff and hope it doesn’t make the whole thing to slow or unstable.

The price we where willing to pay for WordPress‘ somewhat decent backend was just way to high and I’m glad for every day I got rid of the Stockholm syndrome.

🔥 Hot Take:

I bet a fairly experienced developer could learn React and Next (or similar frameworks) from scratch and then build a custom site in less time then it would take an experienced WordPress developer to build a custom site that can’t just the cobbled together with plugins.

But that shouldn’t take away from the fact that the price you have to pay for WordPress backend is still astronomical in both infrastructure and development time.

I would take the argument „if you have a non-tech savvy customer who wants a WYSIWYG-editor to edit their content“. Building that with Next is admittedly a bit of work.

Have you actually build a site with NextJS? Have you ever build a Wordpress site that has some custom structure and isn’t just a blog? NextJS has a feature to just render out a static site, whereas Wordpress always needs a running database and a PHP server even if you want to do aggressive caching.

Given all the hoops you need to jump through to compile from TypeScript to JavaScript you kind of forget how straightforward it actually is. Except for enums.

Never in the history of humankind have people received so many cards written by AI and so many presents picked by machines as today.

The thing is, it’s just a dumb string sort. And I’m mad it’s correct 🥲

the fact that foo is either at the start or the end depending on wether or not both of them have an ending.

Discovered this because I automatically sort imports alphabetically with ESLint and just removed file endings in a project and was confused why a line changed place.

Here are two lists which are both sorted alphabetically:

1. List:
- foo
- foo-bar

2. List:
- foo-bar.a
- foo.a

I’m very angry that this is correct!

They and their work should neither be glorified nor normalized. This isn’t just some harmless cool new tech thingy without implications for society.

And as you’ve shown: those results are not even consistent between browser. Best case is you spend a lot of time writing code that is harder to debug only for it to be slower for most of your users.

Even if the performance difference would be an order of magnitude it wouldn’t really matter for almost all case. A function like this will probably be one of hundreds if not thousands that run in your code and optimizing one of them will rarely make a difference.

This is an on-site job, right?

That was a hard throwback to my time as an intern at a comic publisher doing preprint. 🤯

Imagine how much images could have been saved if we could have rotated images back then.
