How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle#flash#adobe#webdev#javascript#rust#retrogaming
So I’m genuinely puzzled by #htmx. Do you folks who use it return html fragments? Or do you just render a whole page and extract single nodes? If you do the first, how is this “better” than just returning json and rendering it on the frontend?
I don’t really understand the architectural premise and the hypermedia systems book doesn’t really help me click.
Hey #WebDev#JavaScript, say I was writing a service worker that can fetch resources from multiple different sources (say, IPFS, or alternative endpoints, or…) that might not be the origin.
Even though there are many sources, there is always a chance that any given request eventually fails — after trying several of them.
What HTTP error code should the service worker return to the client if the request does fail?
It feels like a 4xx error. But which one? Or should I come up with a new one? 🤔
Another good addition to the corpus of why #Tailwind#CSS is bad news for #WebDev and is actually an indication of deeper concerns about our industry, by Jeff Sandberg:
It would be so great to see "350 people boosted your post" instead of getting notification from each individually. Yes, you can disable them, but instead I would like to see this feature to get developed.
It's fine to link to a common action more than once! It's okay to direct users to a related nested menu from a different one.
Just had to google because the option on #android to turn on Do Not Disturb based on which Wifi network you're on...is in neither the Do Not Disturb menu, nor the Wifi menu!
How do you feel about duplicate links in articles, blogs, whatever? Meaning: A certain word is a link (let's say "HEALTH") leading to an external website.
Would it annoy you if this word was always a link and it's mentioned for example 20 times in an article? Or would you rather have it only once to make it easier to scan for links?
So I have a Wordpress website which is deployed to the apache+nginx server with Ansible. A symlink in the webapp's document root is updated to point to the new release.
I'm encountering Apache (I think) caching the results and serving the index.php page in the old release until I modify the file. Even though the symlink points to the new release.
Any suggestions as to how to fix this other than tweaking the modified date on the old release?
