They've had a few deprecations that make it a non-starter for me. Occasionally I'd use TW purely as a helper library by only enabling certain core plugins but you can't do that anymore. You also can't safelist classes which I'd use for CMS generated content.

Thanks! I'll take a look into that.

Huh, I wonder what happened to my Best Practices score on the latest run. It's now 96 (down from 100) but pagespeed.web.dev is still showing 100.

Ethnic supermarkets are my happy place. Theres something about a wall of gochujang or spice packets that never fails to put a smile on my face!

Playing It Takes Two and a couple of other games with my non-gamer wife made me realise how many gameplay mechanics I take for granted.

A lever on the wall? A loose item in a static environment? A vague note at the beginning of a level? All likely to be keys to progression.

Those are some very satisfying demos!

Moved from IT support to the web design department.

What future?

I wasn't expecting to be singing The Rasmus and Black Sabbath on Singstar tonight but here we are!

I had some TP Link ones in my old flat that didn't have a great layout for coverage. I don't remember having any problems with them, pretty much set and forget.

It's times like these that my imposter syndrome disappears without a trace. No way would I get away with a borked UI like this.

What happens with dvh/svh?

An expanded nav panel with a dimmed backdrop, but the top and bottom of the screen don't have the panel because Apple is a fallen state.

This is 100vh!!!!! What are we doing?

FINALLY!

Awesome! I hope it goes well.

Ah, the old VW testing methodology.

I displayed an open graph image and had to pay how much?! - Alistair Shepherd A media company demanded a license fee for an Open Graph image used on my twitter archive. I gave in and paid it, but what does that mean for open graph images and copyright?

New blog post! 🚀

A few months ago a media org demanded a license fee for an open graph image I linked. I paid the fee because I was worried, but it raises serious questions about open graph usage on the web!

This goes through how it went and my thoughts.

I'm British, so either like bo'le of wa'er or eleven-tea-earl-grey-hot.

Nope. Learned on the job.

Screenshot of a conversation on github. Someone said "Dosubot, the issue still persists", after which dosubot removed the stale label but also closed the issue with the following comment: "Thank you for your response! We appreciate your input regarding the issue. Since you mentioned it still persists, we'll go ahead and close this issue for now."

The pessimist in me sees the proliferation of low quality physical goods and is expecting the same story but worse in the digital space.

Mums gonna mum. Mine still tells me to take a hat and scarf when I visit my wife's family in Finland.

⚓️ New Article: Stop animating everything!

Yeah somewhat convenient apart from the heat + pain almost leading me to pass out on the street. 🥵

Honestly, it was remarkably fast. Turku hospital was very empty compared to every UK hospital I've been to.

Tearing your meniscus sucks.

That didn't work out so well for Apple with the BBC.

- I feel fuller for longer (apparently your stomach empties slower), but my acid reflux is worse.
- Less headaches.
- Taste changes, sweet stuff can taste too sweet, salty stuff can taste too salty. It's actually kinda handy when I cook the food and can compensate but slightly annoying eating out.

I just finished week 8 on Wegovy. It's certainly been helping, although with some minor, unexpected side-effects.

Dear BigCommerce, an un-configurable select list of 24 hour options is NOT a useful Timepicker component.

Yep, it's completely down to the app maker to not take advantage of the users trust. OS level notification classification is one thing AI might actually be half-decent at, not that they'd ever attempt something potentially useful to users with no clear ROI.
