How to Redirect a Search Form to a Site-Scoped Google Search

29.4.2020
This is just a tiny little trick that might be helpful on a site where you don’t have the time or desire to build out a really good on-site search solution. Google.com itself can perform searches scoped to one particular site. The trick is getting people there using that special syntax...

Static or Not?

27.4.2020
A quick opinion piece by Kev Quirk: Why I Don’t Use A Static Site Generator. Kev uses WordPress: Want to blog on my iPad? I can. Want to do it on my phone? No problem. On a machine I don’t normally use? Not an issue, as long as it has a browser. First, it’s worth understanding...

The Cost of Javascript Frameworks

26.4.2020
I expect this post from Tim Kadlec to be quoted in every performance conference talk for the next few years. There is a lot of data here, so please check it out for yourself, but the short story is that JavaScript-framework-powered sites are definitely heavier and more resource-intensive than...

@property

25.4.2020
The @property is totally new to me, but I see it’s headed to Chrome, so I suppose it’s good to know about! There is a draft spec and an “intent to ship” document. The code from that document shows: @property --my-property { syntax: "<color"; initial-value: green; ...

Bitcoin Soars to Its Highest Level Since Crashing in March

24.4.2020
Bitcoin hit $7,600 on Thursday, its highest level yet since crashing in early March. The cryptocurrency climbed more than 10% during the last 24 hours spurred by the return of leveraged money. Bitcoin cash (BCH), ethereum (ETH), and ripple (XRP) all rose above 4% to $239, $189, and $0.19...

Puzzles and Mysteries

22.4.2020
Bob Hoffman: Puzzles, [Malcom Gladwell] wrote, are problems for which there is not enough information. An example of a puzzle: Where is Jimmy Hoffa buried? If we had more information, we would know the answer. If someone told us “Jimmy Hoffa is buried in New Jersey,” we’d know a little more than...

Fake Code

21.4.2020
Here’s a fun little idea from Knut Synstad. You give it the URL of a GitHub Gist and it converts the Gist into grayscale rounded blobs (SVG) that sorta look like code if you squint. Maybe fun for interesting dynamic backgrounds or for whatever you might use code-looking stock art for. It...

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...

The Contrast Triangle

21.4.2020
Chip Cullen: Let’s say you’re building a site, and you’re working with a designer. They come to you with some solid designs, and you’re ready to go. You’re also a conscientious front end developer and you like to make sure the sites you build are accessible. The designs you’re working from have...

How (some) good corporate engineering blogs are written

18.4.2020
Interesting research from Dan Luu: … it’s pretty common for my personal blog to get more traffic than the entire corp eng blog for a company with a nine to ten figure valuation and it’s not uncommon for my blog to get an order of magnitude more traffic. I think this is...

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...
