A section tag start to be a generic région only when it is labelled. It provides semantics, but nothing else out of the box.
As developer it increase readability and allow to quickly set a specific landmark when needed.
“I ran a database company before this and I think the thing people like me never want to talk about is just about everyone has a few sub-10 gigabyte databases.” said Kurt Mackey, the CEO of Fly. “If you’re really in that category, you know this is super interesting because it’s SQL and it’s amazing for 10 gig databases.”
“[There’s] no need to get a database server up and running (or a docker container). It’s just a file. You can even send the database file to a coworker if you need some help with something.”
The software runs very fast without performance glitches, but there aren’t the same number of tools that can help support it. [...] I think the biggest complication for us is that there’s no tooling for it.

This is a list of things you’re allowed to do that you thought you couldn’t, or didn’t even know you could. I haven’t tried everything on this list, mainly due to cost. But you’d be surprised how cheap most of the things on this list are (especially the free ones).

e-waste is defined as used electronic devices with batteries or plugs that are at the end of their useful life.
The main thing you can do to prevent e-waste is to avoid upgrading unnecessarily and hold onto your devices for as long as possible. If a device is no longer needed, consider selling or donating it, or if it can no longer be used then take it to a recycling facility or return it to the manufacturer.
I use it since months and satisfied about it :)

Any > 40-year old developers out there that'd like to share their perspective? How did you grow (technically, managing, etc...)? Picked up fields over others (embeded systems over web app, for instance)?
Responses:
- I push others to do better without them noticing it
- Technical skills become obsolete over time but human skills stay relevant. People, values and norms change so you have to relearn them too.
- Keep learning, write a lot and communicate more.
- I took every advice on the Internet and did the opposite: playing the pendulum between team lead and dev; more and more a specialist in nothing; being able to talk to stakeholders and convert their input into software is by far my most valued skill; being a former manager means I generally understands my boss pretty well.
- I do more mentoring than I used to. I learned more about working in teams.
- I learn that less code is much, much better than more.
- I don't write many queries any more but I do write PowerShell and Typescript. I don't manage a server, it's hundreds. [...] I've taken on more senior roles by thinking beyond just databases.
- The more paradigms and patterns you know, the better you’ll be at expressing yourself in your language of choice. Learn as many languages as possible. Don’t grow too comfortable; challenge yourself regularly.

The author proposes a serie of question instead of sentences.
This website is a single HTML file. It simply uses the #anchor suffix (from 1992) and the :target CSS selector to show and hide pages/content.
This setup1 is databaseless, javascriptless, and buildshit-free, so you can edit your website with a text editor and upload it somewhere2 like a normal person.
- use
lang
for the language of the page, then the other parts of the page with a different language - support different writing direction. Logical CSS properties help.
- handle text expansion with adaptive layouts. Avoid to truncate the text.
- apply a minimum width to avoid text shrinking in other languages. Also think about the height.
- readable typography is important
- make sure every user-facing string is translated such as alt-text, title or desc nodes in SVG.
- different languages have different word order, so avoid string templates
- ensure consistency of microcopy
Microcopy is all the little bits of text that appear throughout the site: the nav links, the sidebar headings, the form field labels, stuff like that. When microcopy is written and used consistently, the site layout becomes much more predictable, and users won't have to guess
It means the atoms and some molecules in atomic design.

Using an object model helps while designing some web pages or content.
An object in a web project is something that has structure, instances, and purpose. Instances are all the specific occurrences of an object.
An instance of the object link can be "When to choose a progressive web app".
So, as we make our user experiences more object-oriented, we also make them more intuitive.” - Sophia Prater, ooux.com.
With this practice, 4 unintuitive objects are identified. The author use the example of a zoo website and they are:
- isolated objects: they are disconnected from related objects. The penguin animals are not related to the demos and habitat from the list of all the animals. The habitat is also included on the map view of the zoo, but there are no links to the Animal or the demo on this map view either.
- broken objects: ones that are not directly manipulatable. Demos are useful to show events to the user. As someone who would like to attend the penguin demo, I want to click on an individual demo to see more details, but it is not possible.
- masked objects: styled to look the same, but are actually different. On the DisneyPlus web view, there is no way to differentiate between a series or a movie. As you want to see a movie (one shot) instead of a series (multiple shots), you have to check on the detailed view in a panel.
- shapeshifter objects: opposite of masked ones, they are styled to look different, but are actually the same. Date formatting, links, and so on should look and behave the same across the website or the experience platform. They have to be consistent.
It was widely agreed that nobody should feel that way, since no one can be expected to catch everything. How to communicate that to the community as a whole is unclear, though.

A feedback from trying to reuse HTML: it still needs JS at the moment.
The internet works because
- there is a stack of protocols built to make things work. Each protocol solves one thing.
- all miraculously work together because these standards are open.
Tim takes the example of the network stack: Ethernet Packet, Internet Packet, TCP Packet, the port, and the email protocols.
Protocols and standards are everywhere. He takes more examples. When you publish a web page for example: it can be both human and machine-readable. It can be accessed through a URI and when someone follows a link to your web page, their browser opens a TCP/IP connection to TCP port 80 on the machine which is registered as serving the (www.whatever.com, etc) in question. All of that is because the URI specification says that what you can tell about a URI depends on the first bit, in this case HTTP. Tim explains in depth why these relationships exist.
An XML document is a less specified version of an HTML document. The namespace declaration gives a URI indicating the namespace used to interpret this XML though. And more...
An RDF document is based on XML and a triple: a value of some property of some object, or some relationship between some object and some other object. How to figure out what a triple means? A URI defines it, and its standard can be read while dereferencing it. The color example is great! So the stack for this document piles up from the Ethernet to the RDF MS 1.0 and RDF MS 1.0 definition of rdf:type.
A pattern is that each technology evolves into three stages: using numbers or strings, then using a URI, and then a dereferenceable URI. As we move on to later protocols, the protocols themselves become more diverse, so URIs were created instead of simple versions with numbers or strings. "The third stage of civilization is the one at which the identifiers can be looked up on the web.".
This stack prevents one from sending a nasty email to someone and then protesting that the message didn't mean anything. So if the stack is so strict, how does one send a nasty email message when one doesn't mean it? Many protocols have ways of breaking the chain, of including information that is not part of the meaning of the message.
For the email: an attachment. "So being able to refer to something without asserting it, whether you call it attachment, packaging, or quoting, is an important feature of a language. The fact that you can do this removes the last excuse for anyone claiming not to have meant whatever they did say in the main message!"
There is an on going race between the AI that catches up the latest technology innovation and the innovation that blocks AI to grow :)
In our case, the artists can use the Nightshade to make noise to the AI input.

TL;DR security vulnerabilities introduced by new Rust contributors are largely less than C++ contributors. They use the amount of commits to measure it as experience. It confirms the claim of the
Namely, while it may still be true that Rust may feel like a more difficult language to learn, in at least some ways, new contributors benefit from its adoption, with their first contributions being less than 2% as likely to introduce vulnerabilities as C++, and first-time contributors appearing at a notably higher rate in the projects examined.
The results should not be used as is, as there are some effects:
- does Rust increase the number of contributors or does Rust act as its own filter and
reduce the rate of new contributors entirely - it is possible Rust developers are more experienced with programming in general. Note that the study focused on new contributors, not new maintainers.
- at around 18,000 commits, a C++ developer will be less likely to introduce a vulnerability than an equivalently experienced Rust developer.
- Finally, there is some limitation to these results in that they
all come from Oxidation projects.

All that we did to get this speedup is implement the Serialize trait using one line for the body of the serialize method!
But implementing the trait directly loses the possibility to serialize the structure with the #derive(Serialize) macro.
Instead, you should implement it on wrapper types that act like formatters.
Also for efficiency: format_args!
doesn't allocate or even apply the formatting! It only returns Arguments which is a formatter that borrows its arguments.
- Consider mixing kebab-casing with camelCasing:
--system-color-controlAccent: blue;
- Using namespaces can help to avoid collision. In the upper example:
system
is a namespace. - Value typing hints to the use cases of the variable. In the upper example:
color
. It could befontSize
for example - Descriptive names can use 2 patterns:
icyBlue
which is value-based oraccent
which is usage-based. - Dark mode is simpler with usage-based variables
When to use between value- and usage-base?
Variables with value-based names can be useful for restricting the number of values in your interface. Using numbers can be useful, but sometimes overkill.
Usage-based tend to be useful to describe scopes of capability and utility within the project. The utility of a usage-based name comes in how it guides a developer or designer in its use.
There are often 3 levels of abstractions:
- defining the values
- different property for custom controls such as
--color-accentColor
- the CSS variable of use in the component such as
--button-color

Those two nonfree programs have something else in common: they are both malware. That is, both have functionalities designed to mistreat the user.
If you use a program to carry out activities in your life, your freedom depends on your having control over the program.
Nonfree software was the first way for companies to take control of people's computing. Nowadays, there is another way, called Service as a Software Substitute, or SaaSS. That means letting someone else's server do your own computing tasks.
In some cases, nonfree software causes indirect harm (secondary injustice): it puts pressure directly on others to use this software (Teams, Skype, Zoom, ...), it encourages to develop the non-free software further. All the forms of indirect harm are magnified when the user is a public entity or a school.
Public agencies exist for the people, not for themselves. When they do computing, they do it for the people. They have a duty to maintain full control over that computing so that they can assure it is done properly for the people.
box-sizing does not work well with details and summary: it is implemented as shadow DOM in Chrome.

AI can be used by artists to augment their work and explore an exciting, new, creative frontier. But the vast majority of “AI art” I’ve seen is not that. It’s theft. You don’t have a right to “free” art, in the same way you don’t have a right to have your car fixed for free.
We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate — and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.
When you send a message, the Signal service temporarily queues that message for delivery. As soon as your message is delivered, that small bundle of encrypted data (i.e. your message) can be dropped from the queue. The storage of end-to-end encrypted files is temporary too, and any undelivered end-to-end encrypted data is automatically purged after a period of inactivity.
It also shows different service costs and why they are like that. It shows the care Signal has to privacy in its different services.

Instead, it could be better to use:
- community pattern: everyone else is doing it. Everyone sees it they know exactly how and why it is there.
- readability pattern: created for the sake of making more readable code. The only true goal is writing code that anyone can reason quickly about.
- performance pattern: squeeze the code for maximum performance, and it can degrade readability.
- guardrail pattern: it exists to avoid known foot guns such as magic number
Often people see "best practices" as community, readability, or guardrail patterns. It is also time as professional that we use a richer vocabulary.

As author Sam Harris said, “In a world of true abundance, you shouldn’t have to work to justify your life.”
UBI stands for Universal Basic Income.
Proponents of UBI — and I count myself among them — argue that it offers a safety net that enables individuals to pursue education, start businesses, or engage in creative endeavours without the fear of financial ruin, creating a more innovative, entrepreneurial, and dynamic society.
UBI is grounded in the principle of shared prosperity and the intrinsic value of each individual, irrespective of their economic contribution.
Experiments in Finland and Canada have shown that providing a basic income does not significantly diminish people’s desire to work. Instead, it affords them the flexibility to pursue work that is meaningful and suited to their skills rather than being trapped in the cycle of low-paying or unsatisfying jobs.
With a correct basic income, you can safely strive for the progress of humanity.
Notes stow metadata about anything tracked by git—any object: commits, blobs, and trees.
The git project itself offers an example of git notes in the wild. They link each commit to its discussion on their mailing list.
Other folks are using notes for things like:
- Tracking time spent per commit or branch
- Adding review and testing information to git log
- And even fully distributed code review
Review notes are used by Gerrit (Wikimedia) and many google projects. For example:

There is also an extension from Google to git notes dedicated to code review: https://github.com/google/git-appraise. Request review, comment and review and merge are included.
Its authors have declared it a “fully distributed code review”—independent of GitHub, GitLab, or any other code forge.
Git notes are however a pain to use. Mhmhmhm #idea #project on top of the git note commands?
For commits, you can make viewing and adding notes easier using fancy options in your gitconfig3. But for storing notes about blobs or trees? Forget it. You’d need to be comfortable rooting around in git’s plumbing first.
Much of the value of git repos ends up locked into forges, like GitHub. Git notes are a path toward an alternative and it could make it possible to distribute the history of an entire project.
- Automating stuff gives you superhero strengths
- Coding is fun (and we can forget the rest)
- Sharing is fun too
- Elegant, creative solutions
- Talk to a machine
- Standing on the shoulders of giants
The difference between professional and hobby is accountability. In professional programming, you're expected to get the job done.
If a skill becomes obsolete, it's not a skill.
Professional programmers have to balance constraints: deadlines, budgets, and code quality for example.
At the end one of the most important fact is communication.
We take all of this for granted because the devices rarely fail, but it's really amazing when you think about it. It's only been a few decades since much of this was tedious, time-consuming, manual labor.
About automation:
That means we have more time to focus on the fun stuff, like playing with the cat.
Ok not bad at all. I still think Rust is not meant for prototyping, but let's give it a try.
Both Figma and Photoshop are for people who believe the web looks like an image.
Semantic HTML is a must. Because there is UX with HTML :D
Another thing our design tools really don’t give a shit about is accessibility. And to be honest, I think most of our industry doesn’t really care about accessibility as well.
Looks also valid to me.
The specialists who helped the architect in making sure it was certified did nothing else than ticking boxes. And this is exactly what most of us do when we think we make our sites accessible. We tick the WCAG boxes.
TL;DR nearly no website have valid HTML. We need validators and ways to integrate them in our development processes. It could allow us to tackle more serious challenges—like advancing accessibility—with collective vigor.
Maybe Cypress and test the different pages?
There is an NPM package dedicated to HTML checking https://www.npmjs.com/package/html-validate
because it is possible
It's an initiative for knowing the people behind a website. It's a TXT file that contains information about the different people who have contributed to building the website.
A txt file is simple and fast to create and can be embedded easily with a <link type="text/plain" rel="author" href="./humans.txt">
It completes robots.txt or security.txt
In this micro-book I take a historical look at interfaces to build an understanding of how they allow us to utilize information in such powerful ways that they can fundamentally change what it means to be human.
