How to Fix ESLint Errors Upon Save in VS Code

6.5.2020
Two of the most prominent utilities in web development today are ESLint and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. I enjoy using both, and I love the integration between both tools, but warnings from ESLint inside Visual Studio Code aren’t fulfilling — I’d rather lint errors...

`lh` and `rlh` units

5.5.2020
There’s some new units I was totally unaware of from the Level 4 spec for CSS values! The lh unit is “equal to the computed value of line-height” and rlh is the same only of the root element (probably the <html> element) rather than the current element. Why would that...

Enable Gatsby Incremental Builds on Netlify

1.5.2020
The concept of an “incremental build” is that, when using some kind of generator that builds all the files that make for a website, rather than rebuilding 100% of those files every single time, it only changes the files that need to be changed since the last build. Seems like...

Some Innocent Fun With HTML Video and Progress

30.4.2020
The idea came while watching a mandatory training video on bullying in the workplace. I can just hear High School Geoff LOL-ing about a wimp like me have to watch that thing. But here we are. The video UI was actually lovely, but it was the progress bar that really caught my attention – or rather...

New Stellar Foundation Member Would Rather Buidl Than Hodl

23.4.2020
One of the Stellar Development Foundation's recent hires said he is personally more concerned with industry growth than trading or holding individual assets

Constrained CSS grids without `max-width`

21.4.2020
Ain’t nothing wrong with max-width, but Ethan makes a point in the last sentence: Rather than simply defaulting to max-width as a constraint, I can use the empty space around my design, and treat it as a layout tool. If the space “around” your grid...

Pseudo-Randomly Adding Illustrations with CSS

17.4.2020
Between each post of Eric Meyer’s blog there’s this rather lovely illustration that can randomly be one of these five options: Eric made each illustration into a separate background image then switches out that image with the nth-of-type CSS property, like this: .entry:nth-of-type(2n+1)::before...

Getting JavaScript to Talk to CSS and Sass

3.4.2020
JavaScript and CSS have lived beside one another for upwards of 20 years. And yet it’s been remarkably tough to share data between them. There have been large attempts, sure. But, I have something simple and intuitive in mind — something not involving a structural change, but rather putting...

Real talk from Dave: I, Dave Rupert, a person who cares about web performance, a person who reads web performance blogs, a person who spends lots of hours trying to keep up on best practices, a person who co-hosts a weekly podcast about making websites and speak with web performance professionals…...

Expert Says New Blockchain Regulation Should ‘Nudge’ Rather Than Push

21.2.2020
A light-handed regulatory approach is needed when it comes to crypto and blockchain, say experts

Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Are ‘Like a Giant Garbage Dumpster,’ Says Minneapolis Federal Reserve President

13.2.2020
The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, said on Tuesday that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are “like a giant garbage dumpster.” He would rather his one-year-old daughter have a low yielding Treasury bond than a bitcoin, emphasizing that...

Freezing User-Agent Strings

3.2.2020
There's been news about Chrome freezing their User-Agent string (and all other major browsers are on board). That means they'll still have a User-Agent (UA) string (that comes across in headers and is available in JavaScript as navigator.userAgent. By freezing it, it will be less useful over time...

Simple Image Placeholders with SVG

27.1.2020
A little open-source utility from Tyler Sticka that returns a data URL of an SVG to use as an image placeholder as needed. I like the idea of self-running utilities like that, rather than depending on some third-party service, like placekitten or whatever. Not that I'd advocate for feature...

Edgium

22.1.2020
January 15th, 2020 was the day Microsoft Edge went Chromium. A drop in browser engine diversity. There is a strong argument to be made that's not good for an ecosystem. Looked at another way, perhaps not so bad: Perhaps diversity has just moved scope. Rather than the browser engines themselves...

Third-Party Components at Their Best

16.1.2020
I'm a fan of the componentization of the web. I think it's a very nice way to build a website at just about any scale (except, perhaps, the absolute most basic). There are no shortage of opinions about what makes a good component, but say we scope that to third-party for a moment. That...

Make a smooth shadow, friend.

19.12.2019
One box-shadow is cool and all, but check out Philipp Brumm's tool for building out comma-separated multiple box-shadows, which result in a much smoother and more natural look. This reminds me very much of the idea for easing linear-gradient. In a gradient, this smoothing effect is handled...

The Jim Bell System Revisited

1.12.2019
Let me re-emphasize that I have neither the knowledge nor the will to implement this system. I certainly don’t like the State, but I would rather concentrate my energies on constructive rather than destructive solutions. That said, I still think governments everywhere are going to be staring...

German Banks Authorized to Store and Sell Cryptocurrency in 2020

29.11.2019
Next year German banks will be able to manage cryptocurrencies like bitcoin after the fourth EU money laundering directive goes into effect. The directive passed in the German parliament, Bundestag, allows banks in the country to act as cryptocurrency custodians rather than rely on third-party...
