This is great and highlights one of the most common mistakes developers make since became easier to server render framework sites - rendering buttons etc before the JS has loaded to make them work.

Anyone using HTTP/2 server push with libcurl? If you use this feature in libcurl, please let us know. It is being deprecated all over, including in specs, browsers and servers and I believe the time has come for us to drop it from libcurl in the future as well. So I'm curious to know if anyone […]

Working with CSS Grid (including Subgrid) I sometimes wish I could toggle gap-collapse for empty rows or columns. Nothing made it in here, one gap is fine, thank you. I am sure there would be horrible consequences for layout and comprehension (see margin collapse).
Based on the first module of the course, I am confident that the full course will be worth the full price. But if you‘ll buy it anyway, why not get it for less now? bsky.app/profile/miri...

The first module is live, with more coming through the summer & fall. Get the full course as it's ready, without waiting to pay full price: courses.oddbird.net/poetic-css/ #CSS
I'm thinking about how non-developers will feel about atproto. For example, will it take people by surprise that data entered into one app can show up somewhere else? More thoughts in this post.

My plea to implementers/spec folks is if you’re gonna make non-submit buttons do something without JS add some CSS hooks so we can hide them when those features aren’t available.
I love that we have focusgroup in Chrome… but again similar to invoker commands… there’s no good way to use it as a progressive enhancement without JS for feature detection.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me what the result of this code is in Safari? ```html <style> [hidden].unhide { display: revert; } </style> <h1 hidden class="unhide">Hidden?</h1> ``` Is the myth of "Separation of Concerns" in HTML, CSS, and JS, dead yet?
Turns out you can just save the glowing testimonials for after you buy the course. Truly a no-brainer.

Pro tip: don't enable experimental features in the browser/profile you use for surfing. Use a dedicated browser/profile for that. It will save you from a lot of confusion.

Careful scaling of my heading sizes ⸺ tfedder.de
I built a fluid type scale for my headings, in a way that should consider the viewport and your preferred font size.

Hey you, do you have Firefox for Android and Firefox Focus installed on the same device? If so, do they use the same number of CSS pixels for the viewport? They differ on my device. So, now I am curious about that. Thanks.
ELI5: What is the benefit of pushing your site and your articles to your PDS, using the standard site lexicon? Well, except a bigger card, containing a button that does not lead to the post you wanted to share. I kinda get that.
You know, maybe we shouldn't have let our industry start using the term "engineer". I feel like we are degrading that term more and more.
Crazy idea: instead of showing wrong information before your JS has run, just show no information at all.
The <template for="x"> syntax of the experimental out-of-order streaming API looked promising. But it seems that I can't misuse it to deduplicate blocks of HTML. I am coming to the conclusion that it deserves its own solution anyway. I hope the [for] on <template> won't be exclusive for streaming.
Damn, taking another L. Despite hours of troubleshooting, laptop and dock canʼt complete the Thunderbolt4 handshake. I guess that part of the hobby is not coming back until Iʼm forced to buy a new ultrabook or something similar.

The gap between what every other browser on every other OS can do, and what Apple allows, is only growing. This isn't making iOS users safer, it's defending a status quo of privacy-degrading native apps and Apple's profits on that monopoly.
Open Web Advocacy@open-web-advocacy.org · 3mo agoOn iOS, this remains impossible. As long as Apple’s browser engine ban remains in place, no browser vendor can bring features like Web Serial to iPhone or iPad. Apple alone decides what the Web on iOS is allowed to do, and which capabilities are reserved for native apps. 🧵(8/11)
