The thing is, there was and is nothing wrong with the laptop. Actually, it had better specs than my current laptop that I work on every day. As far as I can tell, this person uses their computer for little more than sending emails, basic browsing, and watching the occasional video. All are things that their hardware could easily manage.
The only thing it couldn’t manage was Windows 11.
Ne faite pas cela. Au vu des détails de l'annonce, il s'agît d'un travail professionnel qui est attendu.
What's your favorite solution for not-quite-component components?
With those I mean components that are more boilerplates to be expanded upon, instead of actual ready-to-go components you just tweak a few details of. Components that would grow too complex if you'd need to account for all possible interaction and design versions through props or CSS custom properties.
I think often the alternative is composability: ie. what's the minimum functionality that the cookie consent component could have? Could it be a wrapper that provides cookie-setting functionality to whatever UI component it wraps? Could it be a little JS module different components could import to reuse?
You see, most of these books on productivity come from places of privilege. They are authored by people who either control their task lists or, quite often, occupy positions where they are no longer burdened by one. The problem is that most of us, the mere mortals who consume these books, do not sit in this graceful position.
As I said at the start, there will always be more work, and that's a good thing to keep moving and stay motivated. However, there comes a point when it becomes too much, the plate is piled too high, and there is no room to breathe. Drowning in tasks is a terrible way to go.

L'intelligence est la capacité à une trouver une solution efficace à un problème.
L'IA est donc intelligente puisqu'elle trouve des solutions à un problème. Elle n'en a cependant pas conscience.
Après deux exemples, il en arrive à la conclusion que: L'université ne fait que pousser à l'extrême une tendance profondément humaine: dépenser de l'énergie intellectuelle sur des problèmes qui n'en sont pas.
Concernant soi-même: est-ce que le contenu consommé donne le sentiment d'avancer, mais il s'agit uniquement d'un sentiment.
Pour ne plus perdre de temps, se contenter de cette question: qu'est-ce qui va me permettre d'améliorer ma condition?
L'intelligence ne se délègue pas. Notre cerveau confond "j'ai intégré la connaissance" avec "j'ai la connaissance au bout de mes doigts".
Oui, migrer en dehors du système propriétaire de Discord est une difficulté technique.
Comparativement à Freenode où les données sont standardisées et ouvertes, Discord garde tous fermés. Est-ce que j'ai loupé quelque chose pour migrer ou au minimum consulter les messages de Discord sur une autre plateforme?
Ce sera la même que pour Twitter.
Accessibility isn't just about ramps and screen readers.
It's about creating environments where everyone, regardless of ability, can thrive.
Let's make accessibility a priority in everything we do.
To be honest, I am only here because it's a habit, and I like playing around with my website. It's fine to write about your life and other such interests. My favourite blogs to follow do exactly that, but it's absolutely understandable if you don't want to do that.
Every couple of years in software development, the meta changes. Libraries and frameworks are rotated in and out of popularity, languages evolve and best practices change. These are some of my personal beliefs1 on what the current meta is, and what parts are worth adopting.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than right now.

If regular traveling has taught me anything, it’s that you can never depend on circumstance. You can only depend on yourself. And if there’s one writing skill that’s overlooked, then it’s the ability to just write as and when you choose, regardless of where you are, the time of day, or how comfortable you feel (and I mean that in a physical and symbolic sense).
Doctorow states in his own words:
“I learned to write crammed into coach seats with my laptop keyboard practically vertical, my wrists bent back at an agonizing angle. Between flights, I’d write crouched on the floor under the water fountain between the toilets in the departure lounge, nailing the only outlet and plugging in my travel power strip to share with others. […] I have written so much in so many places that the desk and the comfy chair and the big monitor are largely aspirational for me — the kind of place I’d like to be writing in, but rarely the place where I end up writing.”TL;DR? Write how and where you want to write. And if you can’t, write anyway.
How to fill the gap left by the GOAT css tricks?
Look, the dream goal is Piccalilli fills a hole that’s been left by Digital Ocean and their mis-handling of CSS-Tricks.
If I were ever to make an RSS service like Feedbin, I’d probably add a feature which would delay some items until a specific day of the week. Some posts I get feel more suitable for weekend reading.
Strange, isn't it, that the values of real people — the things most of us truly care about — are not reflected at ALL in the values of our hegemonic capitalist consumerist culture...
The real luxuries:
- a good night's sleep
- slow mornings
- freedom to choose
- time for fun and play
- listening to birds singing
- long walks
- a good book
- favorite home-cooked meal
- colorful sunsets
- ability to freely express yourself
- day naps
- a good conversation
What is the maintainable way to build things?
For CSS, how do you structure tokens?
- Naming things: --umap-color-darkBlue?
- Give a meaning to names: --color-primary: var(--umap-color-darkBlue);
Lorsqu’on envisage un commun sur ces 10 prochaines années, comment trouver une stratégie maintenable qui s’inscrira dans la durée avec enthousiasme ?
