I’m the lead UI developer for one of Europe’s biggest fintech firms, and we’re up from #4 back before I got there (many factors in that, so okay, but the UI update added to our success). I’m reviewing quite a few CVs lately looking for Angular FE devs and honestly, an attitude like that won’t even get you in the first round.
This discussion started because I said many FE devs don’t develop with HTML in mind - it’s all divs and js. Or they rely heavily upon a framework to do that for them. I just passed on someone in the third round because I asked for a lightweight modal with esc exit, background and focus, and they wheeled out this whole system using prime ng and p-modals, where just using the <dialog> element would have worked.
To be fair, they also argued that using their method would have been faster and more consistent. That’s a person who relies on toolkits instead of understanding their existing tools has depth.
May I suggest, don’t be that guy. But in 3 years I retire to an island to never have these arguments again, so what do I care? Don’t listen to anyone else - be my guest.
Just to change the vibe.

Mozilla argues otherwise: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML
Most people define HTML based on the original acronym, but the current HTML5 iteration is much more than many devs realize.

VW really seemed to want to clean house with that. I’ve an ID.3 1st and honestly it’s possibly the best car I’ve ever owned (and I’ve had VWs, BMW, Alfa, Ford, International Harvester (I’m old) and that EV is really great for the money.

From where? You didn’t fund enough to have a fire department. And since you’re so clever as to not pay for support services, wait to you see the cost of your exceptional insurance..
Folks, we either have a sovcit who discovered this group or an anarchist-type just stirring up shit.

Not a sovcit, but they do have a point in saying "fuck you" to the authority.
No they don’t. Fighting “authority” for the sake of it stupid and meaningless because it’s so vague it’s dangerous. You fight the injustice or the lack of transparency, but what you prescribe as “authority” could be anything from schools that educate to laws that protect to support of groups you don’t belong to.
If you said “Authoritarianism”, you’d have a point.

Something I’d love to see made a thing: whenever you see him, just walk by and say “fuck off, Nigel”. No more, no less - but if everyone starts to do it… 👍

Or, it could be Susan. They know about the Tardis, and they’ve been pretty passive about interactions with the doctor or Ruby. And unlike a lot of people on other forums, not making tea is not necessarily evil. It’s rude, but it’s not evil.

Also headlining with Ed Bishop, ye of ITV’s series “UFO” and the odd Bond film. He and Shane Rimmer were the go-to Americans when you needed one in British film and TV.

But if you think about it, millennials could be pushing a dialogue in popular media that Boeing is part of the big industrial war machine, and deserves to die. I’ve heard lesser fabricated arguments on the Internet.
In any event, thanks for the heads up.

Genuinely true: Knew a guy in our expat group who had a really unique conspiracy theory: those electric windmills you see? He though you’d need constantly gale force winds to move the blades an inch, so he was pushing this theory that they’re secretly there to consume excess electricity, basically burning it off, to keep energy/oil high. Psycho.

We’re pretty flat here in the Netherlands - 250w is fine, but thanks for the suggestion. I’m not racing and our ride through the heathers and up a few dunes aren’t tough even without an electric wheel, but it’s more to make much-needed exercise less onerous.

Makes sense. Highest voter turnout since 1989, voting for Europe and the Green Party/ D66 Liberal Democrats. Left party strong win - so of course non-Dutch media will say there’s a horse race.
Pfft.

In the past, “accountability” also involved pitchforks and torches, and then a long time in the stocks for the guilty party.

It’s Electrek. If they ever wanted to verify claims, they’d be out of the Tesla business years ago.

We’re sorely tempted to convert our 2 old Specialized mountain bikes with the 100G Geeko rear wheels. Hear good things about them, and we can’t do more than 250W motors as we live in Europe. Still - €700 to make the €2000 bike electric and not noticeably so is tempting. Ebikes have meant no one looks to steal my stumpjumper e4 any more… yay(..?)

Electrek can’t take a shit without mentioning “Tesla” in the headline…
It's not by choice I have to use Teams, but by corporate edict, but currently there's definitely something happening with Teams, 2002 errors, hidden files or crosslinks and crashes. It's driving many of us hopping mad for weeks: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/all/microsoft-teams-something-went-wrong-2002-error/d6ff0a12-6540-41c4-8683-9cb68f001cbb Anyone else having problems? I posted a temporary solution in the MS thread, but maybe someone knows a fix? Or perhaps we can give this a bit of notoriety so MS will do something about it!
Might be shouting into the void, but do any brands support Android Auto or CarPlay? If this isn’t the correct c/, would you please point me in the c/orrect direction? Thanks
It's a very good takedown of Muskrat. Fun quote: "Fights can reveal a person’s character. That would be Musk’s worst fear. As frivolous as all of this jawing has been, it is very much in keeping with a lifetime of acting like a selfish brat and getting away with it... **Scientists could not design a man more likely to get whipped in a fair fight.**"
Quite a report…
Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie? I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use. Thanks!
