“Exclusive accordions exclude · Eric Eggert”

It’s unacceptable that we introduce native barriers in HTML and the web platform in 2023

What I’ve been working on. Ready soon. Would love to hear feedback on the pitch 🙂

I read it all, even when don’t have time to answer

“Uncluttered: Free yourself from Node with import maps and test-driven web development”

www.baldurbjarnason.com/courses/u…

So, I’ve updated the course description page yet again. Think it’s getting close to accurately representing what it’s all about.

I’ve also settled on what I think is the final title for it:

“Uncluttered: free yourself from Node with import maps and test-driven web development”

“Warner Bros. Reverses Course on ‘Coyote vs. Acme’ After Filmmakers Rebel”

‘David Zaslav Admits Striking Writers Were “Right About Almost Everything”’

😬️

That “isn’t this funny” story that’s going around involving a horse that got loose on a freight plane is both weirder and less funny than you think.

The horse died. And the airline is Icelandic. As if we aren’t in the news enough these days.

“Don’t Turn a Table into an ARIA Grid Just for a Clickable Row — Adrian Roselli”

“Bruce Lawson’s personal site  : Formstack, autocomplete and accessibility”

“Don’t read the comments” is one of those rules that is sometimes great, sometimes causes you to miss out on good stuff.

But it definitely applies to Youtube videos on the events in Grindavík. So many assholes.

Also, so many auto-generated spam comments. More than I see usually 🤷🏻‍♂️

Me to brain: “Why am I so stressed?”

Brain to me: “You’re launching a major project in a couple of days, a web course/book that summarises much of what you know about web dev, during an ongoing natural disaster.”

Me to brain: “That can’t be it.”

“HTML Web Components: An Example - Jim Nielsen’s Blog”

I’ve been following the discourse around HTML Web Components and it strikes me that quite a few web devs just don’t have any experience with things like HTML template partials or serverside template rendering in general

“Productivity vs Insight, Tools for Reflection, and Other Questions Answered”

“We are drowning in Google’s magnanimity - kpassa.me”

“Reality Check #2: Building out a fancy 404 page - Set Studio”

This whole “will there be an eruption or not” situation is distracting

Unfortunately, it’s likely successor—“an eruption is spewing ash and gas all over the south and southwest of Iceland”—isn’t likely to be less distracting

But at least people and animals are safe.

“Fieldwork: Adding improv to the mix — Chocolate and Vodka”

I got into reading books on improv a while back because I found the ideas helpful with both writing and collaboration.

The video in this feed shows how extensive the damage to Grindavík is.

Half the town sank by an entire metre and seems to still be sinking. (The steam is from broken pipes.)

“Stop deploying web application firewalls”

Looks like volunteers managed to rescue from Grindavík today:

  • 49 cats
  • 4 hamsters
  • 90 pigeons
  • as well as sheep, parrots, and a few frogs

(IIRC, many of the sheep, horses, and hens were rescued yesterday)

Looks like they managed to rescue most of the remaining animals and the ones that remain on the list might have been rescued by the owners without notifying the organisation managing the list

“HTML Web Components - Jim Nielsen’s Blog”

“Residents of the eastern part of the city allowed in to collect their belongings - RÚV.is”

Still holding out hope for a best-case scenario of no eruption.

“Fauxtomation | A Working Library”

But perhaps a more instructive question is, how will the work be degraded? What do those jobs become?

Hearing about a company that’s switched over to Microsoft Authenticator for all of their company accounts and, wow, does that sound like the most dysfunctional authentication system I’ve ever heard about. So badly designed.
