The offer a way to build custom components that you can use everywhere, on every frontend framework, or plain html page. That's something that can't be achieved with any other tool. Also, if you use the Lit framework to build web components, @property and @state are reactive. The DOM part that uses those variables updates by itself.

The explanation you gave is already contained in the cited Wikipedia article. I think this "ghoti" example is more of a tongue-in-cheek mocking of pronunciation inconsistencies. If you want a jarring example, consider laughter and slaughter. I know, i know, they have different origins, but still, it confuses foreigners like me while learning the language.
Re:A non-anthropomorphized view of LLMs

This was the same idea that crossed my mind while reading the article. It seems far too naive to think that because LLMs have no will of their own, there will be no harmful consequences on the real world. This is exactly where ethics comes to play.

I wonder if this is why BlackBerry phones (best ones ever made) went extinct. Because the media used to grab attention more aggressively, images and short videos essentially, are better experienced on a bigger screen. That's why there are no more iPhone minis. It's either convenient for Big Tech to keep us engaged to that type of media, or just simply user preference. Guess I'll never know, but I do miss smaller phones, and especially a physical keyboard.
Re:Extracting content from an LCP "protected" ePub
on Monday March 17, 2025 @07:52PM (#43394080)
What do you suggest as a better solution to
a. give people the possibility to buy electronic books, while avoiding that the publishers and authors risk losing their intellectual property
b. give libraries the possibility to lend ebooks fairly?
This is a genuine question. Are there better solutions than DRMs? Is Apple, Adobe or Amazon dealing with this better?

I get this, but what I want to do is prevent unauthorised access altogether. Watermarks help if I want to sue someone after they've gained access to the information.

I am in the process of developing an ebook/audiobook platform and I think Digital Rights Management is crucial to gain the publishers' trust.

Re:CSS Is Logical
on Sunday February 11, 2024 @08:21AM (#39334806)
CSS gets the impression of being illogical, because it’s a bit more complex than it looks. At first, it looks so simple that you think you know all there is to know about it by the first week or so. You think that you can infer what a said instruction will do, just by its nam. But to actually get a hold of it, you have to learn all the concepts that are listed in the article, otherwise you can get easily frustrated.

No, but I get the sentiment. I wanted to learn Spanish to read Borges and Cortazar. I gave it a try anyway and read Casa tomada by Cortazar. Understood most of it, because I know Italian, but it’s not tha same thing as knowing the language.
I’m glad I know Italian, so I can read Calvino and Buzzati in their original language.

You can achieve very good results with Next, by using SSG, SSR and ISR. That implies being very comfortable with React. Otherwise there’s tons of solutions for a blog scrnario.

It has prevented it to a certain degree. If don’t have the know-how, you can’t find the book you’re after. And I know very few people that actually know where to find for free the book they want to read.
Anyway, my poin was: if this solution isn’t working, or looks unfair, how are we going to solve it differently?
