Re:HTML Web Components on Tuesday November 14, 2023 @03:25AM (#38260543)
A problem I faced recently with web components using shadow dom is styling nested components within custom element:

From <user-avatar> we can give styles to <img>

<user-avatar> <img src="https://example.com/path/to/img.jpg" alt="..." /> </user-avatar>

but not anymore when its below <picture>

<user-avatar> <picture> <img src="https://example.com/path/to/img.jpg" alt="..." /> </picture> </user-avatar>

Re:Tailwind: style your site without writing any CSS on Friday November 02, 2018 @11:41AM (#18363800)
These packages are really useful for small to medium sized projects where you need little to no customization! When you do need something greater than what the package can provide then I find it better to use something else because these tend to pollute the namespace and things in my experience get really complicated when you start adding your own stuff with them, or modifying them.

Even though they are compact you probably end up having lots of unused CSS code in your website.

Re:Italy bridge: Genoa motorway collapse kills at least 22 on Tuesday August 14, 2018 @10:14AM (#17758076)
Nothing at this scale but this summer in Finland there was a national park bridge fail. The merging of the local municipalities caused the bridge maintenance to be taken care of by the new municipality. In the merge the maintenance was simply forgotten for ten years.

One could say, to be fair, there wouldn't be any Unix & C without the mathematics of Gottfried Leibniz from Germany. This discussion is ridiculous.

Re:Show HN: React Native Auth Boilerplate on Tuesday March 20, 2018 @09:13AM (#16628229)
No offense but I couldn't find a licence or open source mention ;)

If you are publishing something as "open source" I think you should include the license or mention it some way. As long as you don't, it's not "open source".

Re:New Sublime Text update on Friday May 13, 2016 @04:15AM (#11689255)
I think it is not about doing the actual digging and changing code of open source project. It is more the idea that it is possible and can be done if needed.

Just have to say, it is great to see Microsoft turning again into a software company! Even after all the hate, they do great products and good stable software. A great example of a successful software company.
Re:You hear a voice in your head when you're reading, right? on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @05:07AM (#11165656)
I find that this is happening most of all when I'm reading in a non native language. And when reading in native, the thought process is much faster and better that I don't get voices(:D) so much.
Re:Dillo: A Tiny Graphical Web Browser on Tuesday October 20, 2015 @02:50AM (#10417794)
Got stable release from Ubuntu repositories with apt-get.

Most of the websites work, but are visually broken. Google seems to be working okay.

But the speed is super. It is like Firefox, Chrome and IE are these big slow monsters and Dillo is the little hero running around them.

Dillo shows pages, other process them.

Re:Which oils are best to cook with? on Tuesday July 28, 2015 @08:27AM (#9960928)
Dunno how bad burnt olive oil can be for you. But there certainly are many kinds of olive oils, and some of them (especially extra virgin) are very likely to get very bad taste when heated to high temperatures.

It amazes me that we humans have made something that has travelled over seven billion kilometers in cold dark emptiness and sends us highly detailed photographs of things we have never seen before.
Re:Microsoft to Cut Jobs, Take $7.6B Nokia Writedown on Wednesday July 08, 2015 @11:51AM (#9852374)
Nokia the company, not the current phone brand, but the company which sold its phone business to Microsoft. (Yes very confusing)

Anyway Nokia's CEO has made a statement that they are going to start making phones again: http://fortune.com/2015/06/22/nokia-ceo-phones/

The Nokia - Microsoft deal lasts till 2016.

I'm pretty sure Valve, like other online shops, have a content management team which optimizes the shop in all kinds of ways. Automation is probably heavily included but not completely running the shop.

I don't know does it have any connection or any relevance, but it strikes to me that so many high status websites still use plain HTTP.
Re:Uber banned in Portugal on Wednesday April 29, 2015 @06:28AM (#9457336)
This is much due to the fact that in some european countries the government gives monopoly status to some business areas if they are willing to work how the government want them to work. This usually has a negative impact on the winnings of the local company.

For example taxis are supposed to work and be reachable all around the country with the same prices, not just in high volume areas. If there is a new company that steps on the prices of the high volume areas, the older local company won't be able to offer the service in low volume areas.

People get angry if they don't have good services in their living areas.

Sure, but you need larger platform than just a browser to do that.

I mean, for example total beginners may find this truly helpful.
