Hello,

I'm a Sr Dev who mostly has done back-end work but I'm "dangerous enough" in front end frameworks to get things done in my job.

I have another Sr Dev on my team who is ADAMANT on using ul/ol's everywhere. And I mean EVERYWHERE.

Navigation menu items will get done as a list.

Say I have a list of key value pairs or tags describing an item on a page, that's a list. If there are two sections on a page that's also a list. Even forms are built as lists of inputs and buttons. To the point where I'm positive if I told them to recreate the google front page I'm 100% they'd make a ul and a li for the image, another for the box and a separate li for the buttons.

My frustration is that every piece of documentation regarding ordered lists and unordered lists are for literally listings out items as numbered or bulleted lists, not logically grouping things on a page. Also our code is littered with extra css to strip out the bullet points and numbers on a basic li item.

I've worked on several projects and this is the first time I've ever seen lists so overused. Is this normal on some projects? It feels wrong but I don't know the exact terminology to use to explain why, given my inexperience in front end development.

the code related to the video is a faily basic implementation using BabylonJS. it can be found here.

id like to see if i can get handpose-estimation to work well enough to be able to add to the BabylonJS render engine.

im working on something i hope will work like the 8thwall demo here. i couldnt find an open-source alternative to this so i thought id have a crack at it myself. my progress so far is as described here. i dont have much experience in creating games or graphics, so any guidance/help/advice is appriciated.

FAQ:

• why should i use it? - its a proof-of-concept app. for testing and demo purposes only.
• why create it? - it is a hobby project and i can be creative with the approach. its fun to work on.
• what is it? - maybe this article helps.

I was wondering if there was any way I could grab all of the content creator's channel (that I watch) rss feed from YouTube and make it into one html file to host it on my github pages. I can then go to my rss reader, I use YouTube music and AntennaPod. YouTube music for my iPhone and AntennaPod on android as a backup.

Just wondering if this was possible, but also, I remember seeing a reddit post (or stack overflow) not long ago, like a year ago. A user asked about this and youtube shut that down due to, and I'm taking a guess, its because of this may block ads preventing them from making profit.

I hope this is okay. As a web dev who loves phaser, I love this stuff.

If it's not, I apologize profusely.

Apologies if this is the wrong community. I spent some time searching for a good one, and this seemed to be fairly applicable.

I've owned several domains over the years, but recently I purchased another one (goat.rest) to house a little side project I was working on. For about two weeks, everything was running fine, and then out of the blue the site disappeared. After some investigation, I figured out that the domain had been suspended by the registry, with seemingly no reason or course of action to get it back. I triple-checked, and although the TLD for the domain is intended for restaurants, it should be open for other uses too. The site wasn't spammy, explicit, or in any way content that would be cause for removal. I sent an email to the company that owns the TLD, and three days later the block was removed, and hours later I got an incredibly vague and short email stating as such.

While the site was down, I did a little research and found a post where someone had a similar issue, but I haven't been able to find much else. Do registries just randomly, automatically suspend domains when they want to?

I wrote a blog post going into a little more detail about the whole situation, but mainly I'm just really curious about the question I asked in the title. Am I just super unlucky to have this happen to me, or have other people experienced a similar situation?

A friends business email goes through to his gmail account, but he also pays for an email account with his web host. Is it necessary to keep paying for this email account, does he need it if the email goes through to gmail?

EDIT: What I know is, they both receive and send emails from @theirdomain.com via their Gmail. They have their domain registered with a seperate company than the web host and have access to their DNS records there. With the hosting company they pay for email in addition to their hosting plan.

My friend wants to avoid the extra cost of the email account if possible, and I thought it wasn't required to have an email with your your webhost if setting up the DNS records properly, but not 100% sure. We wanted to get independent advice before proceeding, since the host has an incentive for my friend to stay on the email plan.

Hi, I am looking for a WordPress host in the UK (or europe) and I have been researching them extensively, but would appreciate hearing people's experiences.

My research has led me to a Kualo (www.kualo.com), they offer free SSL, unlimited bandwidth, have good reviews on TrustPilot, provide cloudflare CDN, and have a faily decent knowledge base.

Has anyone used them and can offer personal experience? Or any other hosting recommendations? Thanks

CSS Grid support has been widely available since March 2017 in all major browsers. Yet, here we are in 2024, and I still see few people using the grid template areas feature.

It’s no surprise that many avoid template areas as making sense of the grid is challenging enough. In this interactive article, I aim to shed light on this feature and, hopefully, convince you to use it more often. Once you see the simplicity and power of template areas, you may reach for them much more frequently.

Hi,

I've read quite few articles about Flask Vs quart.

But the one that I found do not go deep.. :/ (and are big adept of copy/past ...)

So, beside the extra features (ASGI, HTTP/2, WebSockets..)

I'm wondering if async/await in this context give a real boost of performance ?

When a client connect to a worker I don't think that while await, will allow another client to use the same work ? or am I wrong ?

Do you have any metric ? Or if you switched from Flask to Quart di you noticed a gain ? lost ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking for some inspiration to create a website.

Do you have a "crush" :) for a website (design speaking)

Or do you know some website that list great visual feature or website ?

Thanks.

For some years now, I have been using Laravel Homestead to quickly build up a virtual machine with all I needed installed. But it seems to not quite get the love it needs, and I'm wondering if folks have moved on to a different environment or tool for their development.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a little side project I’ve been working on: a Planet Zoo Animal Picker. It’s a simple tool designed to help you choose a random animal for your Planet Zoo game.

I know there are already tools out there, and mine isn't necessarily better, but it's something I created and I’m proud of it. It's just a fun little project I wanted to share with the community.

It's written in Vue/Quasar, src

Feel free to check it out, and for anyone that plays the game: Happy zookeeping! 🦁🐘

Feel free to tweak the two custom properties in the css pane to explore the different mosaic patterns that are generated.

Hi,

You might be aware that if a DNS request point your nginx server.

and this later do not have a server rule for it , nginx will server anyway the first server found in your config file, WTF !

So I've found https://stackoverflow.com/a/23281442

server {
  listen       80 default_server;
  server_name  everythingelse;

  error_page 404 /404.html;

  # Everything is a 404
  location / {
    return 404; #return the code 404
  }

  # link the code to the file
  location = /404.html {
    #EDIT this line to make it match the folder where there is your errors page
    #Dont forget to create 404.html in this folder
    root  /var/www/nginx/errors/;
  }
}

But this is not working !

I made one of my domain pointing to this nginx server, and he still server another site aka server For httpS for http nothing appear..

Thanks.

I currently use Cloudflare's DNS with disabled proxy and I want to ditch Cloudflare completely now (for known reasons).

I found the desec.io service and it’s looking pretty good to me. What are your thoughts about this site? Would you recommend it? Any other recommendations?

Copied from linked post:

I'm very happy to announce the release of htmx 2.0. This release ends support for Internet Explorer and tightens up some
defaults, but does not change most of the core functionality or the core API of the library.

Note that we are not marking 2.0 as latest in NPM
because we do not want to force-upgrade users who are relying on non-versioned CDN URLs for htmx. Instead, 1.x will
remain latest and the 2.0 line will remain next until Jan 1, 2025. The website, however, will reference 2.0.

Major Changes

• All extensions have been moved out of the core repository to their own repo
  and website: https://extensions.htmx.org. They are now all versioned individually and can be developed outside of
  the normal (slow) htmx release cadence.

  • Most 1.x extensions will work with 2.x, however the SSE extension did have a break and must be upgraded.
  • The older extensions remain in the /dist/ext directory so as to not break the URLs of CDNs like unpkg, but please
    move to the new extension URLs going forward

• We removed the deprecated hx-sse and hx-ws attributes in favor of the extensions, which were available and
  recommended in 1.x.

• HTTP DELETE requests now use parameters, rather than form encoded bodies, for their payload (This is in accordance w/ the spec.)

• We now provide specific files in /dist for the various JavaScript module styles:

  • ESM Modules: /dist/htmx.esm.js
  • AMD Modules: /dist/htmx.amd.js
  • CJS Modules: /dist/htmx.cjs.js
  • The /dist/htmx.js file continues to be browser-loadable

• The hx-on attribute, with its special syntax, has been removed in favor of the less-hacky hx-on: syntax.

Minor Changes

• We made some default changes:
  • htmx.config.scrollBehavior was changed to 'instant' from 'smooth'
  • As mentioned previously, DELETE requests now use query parameters, rather than a form-encoded body. This can
    be reverted by setting htmx.methodsThatUseUrlParams to the value ['get'],
  • htmx.config.selfRequestsOnly now defaults to true rather than false

Features

Not much, really:

• The selectAndSwap() internal API method was replaced with the public (and much better) swap() method
• Web Component support has been improved dramatically
• And the biggest feature of this release: the website now supports dark mode! (Thanks @pokonski!)

A complete upgrade guide can be found here:

htmx 1.x -> 2.x Migration Guide

If you require IE compatibility, the 1.x will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future.

I'm excited to share with you an instant messaging application I've been working on that might interest you. This is a chat app designed to work within your browser, with a focus on browser-based security and decentralization.

What makes this app unique is that it doesn't rely on messaging servers to function. Instead, it works based on your browser's javascript capabilities.

Here are some features of the app:

• Encrypted messaging: Your messages are encrypted, making them more secure.
• File sharing: Easily share files using WebRTC technology and QR codes.
• Voice and video calls: Connect with others through voice and video calls.
• Shared virtual space: Explore a shared mixed-reality space.
• Image board: Browse and share images in a scrollable format.

Your security is a top priority. Here's how the app keeps you safe:

• Decentralized authentication: No central server is required for login, making it harder for anyone to gain unauthorized access.
• Unique IDs: Your ID is cryptographically random, adding an extra layer of security.
• End-to-end encryption: Your messages are encrypted from your device to the recipient's device, ensuring only you and the recipient can read them.
• Local data storage: Your data is stored only on your device, not on any external servers.
• Self-hostable: You have the option to host the app on your own server if you prefer.

A decentralized infrastructure has many unique challenges and this is a unique approach. Ive taken previous feedback and made updates. Its important to note, the app is an unstable proof-of-concept and a work-in-progress. Its important to understand at this early stage in the project, there will be breaking changes. It is not ready to replace any existing apps or services. While the app is aiming to be an encrypted and secure chat system, the project is not mature enough to have been reviewed by security professionals and should not be considered encrypted or secure. it is provided for testing/review/feedback purposes.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

This is really cool, however I still wait for Firefox to support it.
