Your reaction to the AI buzz:

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@timbray There are so many use cases for AI and all the buzz is around "generic" GenAI. Computers should be about automating boring tasks to leave us the creative ones, not the other way around.
So mostly annoyed by the buzz.

It does feel like there's a fundamental incongruity in that the web (http) is stateless but user expectations for apps/websites are stateful.

But maybe that's a feature not a bug?

"Hit refresh" is the HTTP equivalent for ”Have you tried turning it on and off again?”

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@jimniels That HTTP is stateless does not mean "the web" is stateless. It means state leaves on the client side (if only a session cookie), possibly "linked" to data stored (temporarily?) on the server.
This is what makes it "easy" to have load balancers and shared caches.

Does anyone outside the RHEL ecosystem use Podman? 🤔 Whenever I suggest Podman, other developers or PMs insist on Docker, which is far more popular and has a stronger brand. Even many RHEL users prefer Docker. Red Hat should have addressed Docker's issues instead of creating another tool that, while good, few people want. And yes docker can run rootless too but it has same limitations as podman rootless like can not bind below 1024 port or create device nodes etc

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@nixCraft Due to how we use Docker at work (mostly packaging and distribution, running in dedicated VMs as if we didn't use Docker) we've been contemplating using Podman instead to avoid running too many things as root, but haven't had the time to experiment yet. Main changes are UID/GID mapping, important when you use bind-mounts for persistence (rather than volumes) so you want control on IDs outside the container.
Also clients use Podman or kaniko for building images on gitlab ci/cd, rather than docker-in-docker.
I still default to Docker on my dev station but experiment showed I could probably switch to Podman with no impact.

: Always use === over ==.

=== applies much more reasonable behavior for operands of different types, mainly by not coercing them together like == does.

A lot of developers will tell you to learn the rules of coercion and use it when appropriate, however I disagree for one key reason. Consider this example:

if (foo == bar) {  
 doSomething();  
}

Question: Did the developer mean to use ==? Is the coercion intended or a typo?

It's incredibly difficult to know with any amount of certainty as this depends on the types and semantics of foo and bar.

If I was writing this intentionally, I would feel compelled to write a several line comment about how coercion behavior applies here in a desirable way. And if you need to write that much explanation, it would be much less confusing to actually codify the desired behavior with === and explicit type checks so devs don't have to understand that coercion.

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@develwithoutacause @flensrocker Pareto law: it's much more common for null/undefined to be interchangeable than being treated differently, so == null without comment, and add a comment whenever you need === null/=== undefined.

I’m ambivalent about ad blockers:
– I understand why people use them—most ads have become nasty and obtrusive.
– There really aren’t many good alternatives to ads for content creators: People aren’t willing to pay for content but don’t like ads either.

What are your thoughts?

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@leeloo @rauschma Not a good metaphor if you ask me. Those who see the ad (or graffiti) on the trains aren't the train owners, they're people who didn't ask for anything and see the train pass by (and train spotters of course, they're not there for the ad either), or passengers at the train station before getting on the train.

Ad networks pay site owners to show ads to whoever "passes by"; they come for the content, and see the ads (more like billboards, that don't move, rather than trains though I'd say).

I do use a blocker because of abusive behaviors. I wouldn't mind less intrusive and more secure and privacy friendly ads.

@leeloo @rauschma Are TV ads graffiti?

(and you're still in control of your screen: don't you choose to visit websites whose owners chose to be paid to have ads?)

Okay, so when making a popover I think the logic should go something like this:

  1. Use title if the content of the popover is just text.

  2. Use the popover attribute if the content is more than plain text and like a menu of options or something.

  3. Use <dialog> if you need to force the user to make a decision or block all other interactions on the page.

Les gens qui disent "la Devoxx", ou "au Devoxx", vous dites "la Nantes" ou "au Bordeaux" aussi ?

tbroyer,

@melix Ils disent probablement "les Metallica", "les Imagine Dragons", "les Panic! at the Disco", "les Ofenbach" aussi (c'est les premiers qui me sont venus à l'esprit mais je sais qu'il y a bien pire dans le genre "ça n'a aucun sens")

tbroyer,

@melix "les pierres qui roulent" c'est déjà un groupe nominal pluriel, donc c'est plutôt "normal" même d'utiliser un article, comme pour "les 3 cafés gourmands" c'est pas choquant.
Par contre pour "Noir Désir" ou "Téléphone", ça n'a absolument aucun sens de mettre "les".

Mais pour revenir au sujet, "le Devvoxx" ou "la Devvoxx" peut faire référence à l'événement/la conférence, donc si ça te choque pas pour un nom de groupe pour qualifier ses membres, pourquoi ça te dérange ici ? 😉

(en vrai, c'est un sujet aussi clivant que "la wifi" ou "le covid", la diff. étant que Devvoxx est une marque donc peut définir l'usage officiel dans ses "branding guidelines")

Wrote an article on how to fix the "reflected attribute" issue faced when you set properties in a constructor with Lit and why it happens

https://www.konnorrogers.com/posts/2024/designing-web-components-for-morphing

tbroyer,
@tbroyer@piaille.fr avatar

@konnorrogers I have no idea what morphing operation you're talking about, but setting the attributes from constructor initialization is clearly a bug (only happens when not using decorators, and a known issue: https://github.com/lit/lit/issues/1476) and IMO this should be worked around using getter/setter (which can also easily solve the question of what to do when the property is set to null/undefined or the attribute is removed)
See https://blog.ltgt.net/web-component-properties/ for my take on reflected properties.
