  • Well, now you know to look, which is always a good thing. Lots of new good stuff to check out in css and html - look up Baseline 2022 (and beyond) to familiarize yourself with the new goodies.

  • I’m the lead UI developer for one of Europe’s biggest fintech firms, and we’re up from #4 back before I got there (many factors in that, so okay, but the UI update added to our success). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.

    This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.

    To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding that their existing tools have depth.

    May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.

    Just to change the vibe.

  • VW really seemed to want to clean house with that. I’ve an ID.3 1st and honestly it’s possibly the best car I’ve ever owned (and I’ve had VWs, BMW, Alfa, Ford, International Harvester (I’m old) and that EV is really great for the money.

    Bob Ballard: Olympics commentator axed over sexist remark
  • Speaking of behalf of many of us in the Netherlands, yeah – we don’t get it either.

    IMHO, should never have been allowed on the team.

    Nigel Farage, Right-Wing Disrupter, Elected to Parliament for the First Time
  • Something I’d love to see made a thing: whenever you see him, just walk by and say “fuck off, Nigel”. No more, no less - but if everyone starts to do it… 👍

  • Or, it could be Susan. They know about the Tardis, and they’ve been pretty passive about interactions with the doctor or Ruby. And unlike a lot of people on other forums, not making tea is not necessarily evil. It’s rude, but it’s not evil.

    It's not by choice I have to use Teams, but by corporate edict, but currently there's definitely something happening with Teams, 2002 errors, hidden files or crosslinks and crashes. It's driving many of us hopping mad for weeks:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-something-went-wrong-2002-error/d6ff0a12-6540-41c4-8683-9cb68f001cbb

    Anyone else having problems? I posted a temporary solution in the MS thread, but maybe someone knows a fix? Or perhaps we can give this a bit of notoriety so MS will do something about it!

    www.theguardian.com Elon Musk won’t fight Mark Zuckerberg – because he knows he will lose | Hamilton Nolan

    America’s richest and most cowardly man, Musk, proposed an idiotic cage-match, then came up with every excuse not to actually do it

    It's a very good takedown of Muskrat. Fun quote:

    "Fights can reveal a person’s character. That would be Musk’s worst fear. As frivolous as all of this jawing has been, it is very much in keeping with a lifetime of acting like a selfish brat and getting away with it... Scientists could not design a man more likely to get whipped in a fair fight."

    Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?

    I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use.

    Thanks!
