Min found a fun recipie online for mini “acorn” BBQ hot dogs so I tired it. Holy cow they are good! Whipped up some homemade potato salad to go with. Perfect lunch food for #memorialday

🍦 New Article: Creating a vanilla JavaScript signal() with Proxies https://gomakethings.com/creating-a-vanilla-javascript-signal-with-proxies/

@cferdinandi why does the handler assign obj[prop] when going the get? It requires the proxied object make a get/set pair of that prop, which seems like you're breaking encapsulation for the data object (it needs to "know" it's being proxied and make all props symmetrical). You do this in reef.js too and I always wondered why you bothered with the set.

(also you're calling handler(name, data) on that line but those args are backwards)

@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@cferdinandi oh I get what it’s doing I just question if it’s necessary. In my reef project I literally ignore all these sets, and everything works fine. It’s probably slowing down stuff a little, but it means my domain objects always talk to other domain objects and not proxies for those objects.

@cferdinandi it may be working for me because all my mutations are sourced from the UI components, as a result of user actions. The models connect to each other but rarely (never?) mutate themselves. That constraint makes the design simpler, while also ensuring the models never have to worry about their properties becoming proxies (which I believe had some ill effects when I stringified to JSON).

Many of us are familiar with imposter syndrome, but is there a similar term for having the persistent feeling that you’re letting the rest of your team/workplace down by not doing enough, no matter how much others in your team/workplace make it clear you’re doing (more than) enough?

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@Meyerweb I often tell my team that “there is always more work to do than time to do it”, which helps fight this feeling. But having a name for the feeling itself would be great.

Steeling myself for today’s inevitable reports from SCOTUS that the justices will be ‘sharply divided’ about Trump’s immunity claims with the conservatives leaning towards giving it to him in some form.

There’s litterally no other reason for them to have heard the case in the first place. It’s utterly preposterous on the face of it but Alito, Thomas and others have political agendas with a Capitol P and so here we are.

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm taking the case to rule against him is the only way to set the precedent that he doesn’t have it. Not taking the case only sets precedent in the lower court, allowing a future Court to take up another case and make the call.

Are you interested in Masonry layout?? Graphic design on the web?

We just published a 4,000 word blog post investigating the current stage of the Grid Level 3 specification and all the amazing things you can do with it: https://webkit.org/blog/15269/help-us-invent-masonry-layouts-for-css-grid-level-3/

If you design or build websites, please read and chime in with your thoughts.

@jensimmons great article. Small typo near the end: because none is the default value for grid-temple-* and means “please give me only implicit rows, no explicit ones”. I think that temple should be template

You know the American healthcare system is great when the phone system refers to patients as "customers" and "make an appointment" is not one of the options you can select. 🙄

@cferdinandi well see in the socialist system you'd get to SEE a doctor and someone would PAY for your care. That’d cost someone money, and it wouldn't be you. Can't have that. Much better to be sick and bankrupt instead.

With all due respect, Denise didn’t give the show long enough to turn Tasha into anything but a “token blonde”. Yar’s character showed promise but we’ll never know what the writers could have done with her because she left. In the very first season. https://meta.masto.host/@GamingNews/112264913798622479

@gedeonm I think it’s interesting that she left but wasn’t really replaced. The other characters just grew into the available space. The starting cast might have just been too big.

@mia your link from the class notes to “CSS Systems" goes to Slideshare, which wouldn't show me anything after the first slide, and requires a paid account to download. But helpfully Clearleft still has the slides available: https://clearleft.s3.amazonaws.com/2008/cssSystems_notes_small.pdf Consider updating the link?

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@Meyerweb @bkardell sometimes it seems like web tech assumes you’re doing a complete rewrite of your site every couple years to pick up new stuff. Web tech is all amazingly backwards compatible but we rarely talk about how to evolve what you’ve got, in place, as the years pass on and your tech debt accumulates.

@mia CSS layer names:

John gives the big picture stuff, lays the groundwork
Paul adds in the business logic and structures the constituent parts
George has all the tricks that make things run smoothly
Ringo adds in the weird stuff you only figure out you need at the last minute

@ivory whats going on with the percentages reported in this poll? Options 1 and 3 are apart by 1% but there’s only 14 votes cast, so that delta seems impossible. Web client shows both as 36%: https://mastodon.social/@eyuzwa/111672076378051368

I, admittedly, curse way too much, but I just adore a faux curse. When I was a kid, one of my Mom's friends was a very proper Southern lady. Instead of saying "They think their shit don't stink" she would say, "Some people think they poo poo vanilla ice cream".

What is your favorite faux curse?

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@RickiTarr we grew up with parents who didn’t want us to curse, so one day we decided that “fruit” was going to stand in for every other curse word.

“Ah, fruit.”
“What the fruit?”
“Are you fruiting kidding me?”

It got banned eventually, and we all had a good talk about how words only have the meanings we imbue them with.

So if inflation, when under control, is pretty much a normal part of a growing economy, what does that mean for currency denominations?

Shouldn’t the lower currencies (like the penny) be getting phased out regularly? Like assuming everything goes according to plan, shouldn’t we have a rough idea of when the nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar bill will be worthless to society as actual things?

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@cam yes; the hay penny (half penny) used to exist in the US but was phased out long ago. When it did it had more buying power than the dime does today.

TALlama,
@TALlama@mastodon.social avatar

@cam yes, but fintech uses fractional pennies already; no need for them to stop just because there’s not a physical coin to match the number in the database.

Worse: it actually costs more than 1¢ to make a penny!

if we could write a rule for everything we want, we wouldn't need ML … and therein lies the major difficulty in design of generative AI.

@jbigham asks a person to do a thing and they’ll pick what they think is a good way to do it. Ask generative ai to do a thing and it will randomly select one of the most likely ways to do it.
