Long but thorough collection of all the nice improvements CSS brought the past few years.
Lots of good points in there. Very much focused on web services APIs, that being said the first part also applies to libraries APIs in my opinion.
Here is another point of view on the XSLT situation in the WHATWG. Clearly the process needs to be made clearer. I'm not necessarily convinced by everything which is brought forth in this piece, still nice to have different point of views on it.
Or why the XML roots of the web are important to keep in shape. I'm not necessarily in love with how verbose XML is, but it's been a great enabler for interoperability. That's indeed the latter reason which pushed Google to try to get rid of it as much as possible.
This is a good list of guidelines to produce a service which is less of a pain to test locally, deploy and operate. Of course, don't take everything at face value (not all of it aged well) but it's a good source for inspiration.
Looks like an interesting alternative to the bigger Django and FastAPI which get all the attention.
And it's not necessarily a problem. It all depends on the goal and context of the API you're building.
Good followup to a similar piece from someone else about React. Frameworks with a short half-life are not worth the hassle to learn, focus on more fundamental skills instead.
Friendly reminder that the term "server-side rendering" doesn't make sense. Also, you don't have to use React of the likes on the server side, it should be as simple as making string joins indeed.
I'd like to see the equivalent for Europe. Clearly in the US things aren't always great for Internet access. The latency is likely higher than you think, and the bandwidth lower.
A bit focused on web frontend, but that applies equally to other stacks. There are many reasons to make UIs accessible.
There's clearly something tempting about a web index somehow separated from Google. It always felt like a natural monopoly and so a type of public service.
Now that push arrives a tad late so the impacts are unclear. Overall I still think this would be a net positive if there are more web search companies built onto such an index.
Early days for this project but the idea is interesting. I could clearly things I'd want to automate that way.
Looks like a good resource for modern web development without frameworks.
I have a hard time seeing browser makers truly drop third party cookies without pushing a worse replacement first... Still, it's nice to see the W3C take a stand in the matter.
Didn't know we had this unit. It's welcome indeed.
A good tour of various techniques available on the web for making textured text.
If you wonder why more websites become confusing... It's not exactly an accident.
Nice tutorial for rendering water. It gets more complex from there but this one is doing quite a lot already.
Looks like an interesting alternative to HTMX to come. Might go further enough that it has the potential to displace things like React as well.
