Trusted types are interesting indeed. They won't fit all cases though: what happens if I want to insert HTML? These are cases though, and the majority could use these.

Hey! My name is Simone Silvestroni. This is the personal website where I document thoughts, opinions, and how I work with technology to translate ideas into an enjoyable experience.

13% wider than the classic Times New Roman

The lh unit is even more useful [for icon sizes] though because it is relative to the computed line height.

This new release is quite neat.

Source of markup ghosts:

1. proprietary markup introduced by browser vendors
2. specs which didn*t see uptake like HTML3
3. use case specific markup on devices like WebTV or early smartphones

Some old tags:

• <audioscope> to display the sound over time. A demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7YVhar2Dg
• <au> for authors
• <blackface> for double-weight boldface... in HTML 🤡
• <center> oh shit
• <font> and color attributes
• dingbat attribute to embed emojis, extended unicode entities, icon fonts and custom things. Now it is used as < for example and does not rely on the attribute anymore.
• <multicols> ....
• <person> in HTML 3, but it opens the door for so many other tags. Now instead we can rely on <a rel="author"> or with me

and more

I’m currently working with an independent review platform for education technology products worldwide.

It is a gambling at the side project casino: “It’s a career for gamblers. Every time you write a book, you’re throwing the dice again, and you don’t know whether it’s going to crash and burn or be a big success.” - George R.R. Martin

The effort put into an internet project is often detached from its results.

As another emailer explained, tiny projects can provide the creative insights that give large projects direction: “My small projects help inform how my big project is working, where my main project is the tree trunk and the tiny projects are its branches.”

You used to put side projects on a CV to land a career in tech. Now, side projects can be your tech career.

Make a UI for it

Before the social media craze or publishing platforms, and long before ‘content creator’ was a job title, blogs served as one of the primary forms of online expression and communication. [...] We had webrings, forums, and carefully curated link pages instead.

At their core, they all have one characteristic in common: they’re there because their owners wanted to carve out their space on the internet. And I think you should do the same. Let’s talk about why that is.

1. Platforms aren’t forever homes
2. SEO Writing is dead, storytelling is back
3. Communities > Followers

How to ramp up quickly?

The first step is to find someone on the team and ask for 30 minutes with them. In that meeting you have a simple agenda:

• For the first 25 minutes: ask them to tell you everything they think you should know. Take copious notes. Only stop them to ask about things you don’t understand. Always stop them to ask about things you don’t understand.
• For the next 3 minutes: ask about the biggest challenges the team has right now.
• In the final 2 minutes: ask who else you should talk to. Write down every name they give you.

Repeat the above process for every name you're given. Don’t stop until there are no new names.

The web of things is built on the web of documents, which is built on the web of computers controlled by Domain Name owners, which itself is build on a set of interconnected cables. This is an architecture which provides a social backing to the names for things. It allows people to find out the social aspects of the things they are dealing with, such as provenance, trust, persistence, licensing and appropriate use as well as the raw data. It allows people to figure out what has gone wrong when things don't work, by making the responsibility clear.

The value of this architecture is that each layer leverages the social components of the lower layer's architecture

It states that every method should either be a command that performs an action, or a query that returns data to the caller, but not both.

More formally, methods should return a value only if they are referentially transparent and hence possess no side effects.

Even in single-threaded programs, it is sometimes arguably significantly more convenient to have a method that is a combined query and command. Martin Fowler cites the pop() method of a stack as an example.

Voilà comment on traite ces alliés?

IO relève également que « les États-Unis représentent la moitié des 92 cas d'ingérence dans des entreprises françaises par extraterritorialité du droit (lawfare) relevés par la DGSI depuis 2020 jusqu'à fin 2022 », et que « la Chine se situe au deuxième rang de ce palmarès, mais très loin du nombre de cas attribués aux États-Unis ».

Using a single metric always results in Goodhart's law: when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

By using "Focus on Impact", people started to focus only short terms.

I believe I have observed a novel form of this law: when a company slogan becomes an article of faith, it ceases to be a good slogan.

The slogan “Move Fast and Break Things” was used until it was serially and irreparably misunderstood.

Use SVGs instead of icon fonts for the reasons explained in the articles.

system-ui is a good typography because it falls back on the system font (that is readable). It means 0 bandwidth cost.

They're nice and useful tools :)

They can be extended to browser extensions if they need to.

It can be a meme: instead of talking about semantics, UX is trendy and can be used as trendy shit word instead.
UX HTML is more accessible, less error-prone, more maintainable because it uses the right tags and attributes. Yes it is semantic at the end.
So UX of HTML matters.

Too many websites could generate nice reports as documents, but had no way to access the data behind it to check and build on the results.
