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.

How it is optimized to be the fastest possible.

A quick guide on makefiles

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.

We can now calculate the remainder rem() and the modulo mod in css.

We will have to wait a bit though for browser support: https://caniuse.com/?search=rem() and https://caniuse.com/?search=mod()

Use padding, relative line-height and a flow layout instead.

Pour 2023, l’IFN, véritable état des lieux de la forêt française, révèle des forêts de plus en plus affectées par le changement climatique, avec notamment une accélération de la mortalité des arbres, et une multiplication de crises entraînant un ralentissement du puits de carbone des forêts sur la dernière décennie.

Asahi Linux aims to bring you a polished Linux® experience on Apple Silicon Macs.

It’s a reminder that reliability, consistency, and user satisfaction can coexist in the realm of software development.

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.

If I can give you one tip, don't learn Vim by memorizing commands. Instead, look at your current workflow and try to make it better, then see how Vim can make that easier.

The dedication, the urgency to reach your aims must come from within you.

The author shares its point of view on Shuttle that needs little to nearly 0 configuration to get started.

Zerocal was the first project I deployed on Shuttle. The principle was very simple yet innovative: encode calendar data directly into a URL. [https://endler.dev/2022/zerocal/]

#project #idea improve the UI or make a custom one that calls the API
#project #idea use such API to generate other files. Contacts?

1. Consider mixing kebab-casing with camelCasing: --system-color-controlAccent: blue;
2. Using namespaces can help to avoid collision. In the upper example: system is a namespace.
3. Value typing hints to the use cases of the variable. In the upper example: color. It could be fontSize for example
4. Descriptive names can use 2 patterns: icyBlue which is value-based or accent which is usage-based.
5. 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

the company announced today it’s not going ahead with the proposed API.

Current icon ideas (but not satisfying):

• padlock
• detective (chrome incognito is a simplified detective icon)
• zorro mask
• shield

New ideas:

• a blurred user icon
• Venetian blind icon: an easy toggle to close and open the Venetian
• the picket fence icon: prevent folks from looking in or hopping over.

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.

Just for the expression:

German: Killing two flies with one swat

To my surprise they didn’t use skip links when they were presented one. [...] They didn’t understand the purpose of these links.

He explained that when he clicks on a link, for instance to an interesting article about skip links, he expects the first thing he encounters to be the article itself.

Instead of a "Skip to content", a "Skip to navigation" could be better.

The author takes the example of a tree structure.

TL;DR; Start with lifetimes, if it is not enough and you don't need a specific guarantee: Box, then go for Rc or Arc if needed.

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.

• It is hard to organize adblockers because of the noise and confusion generated by YouTube's strategy
