#2 div with button role

from HTMHell [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
Bad code <div tabindex="-1"> <div role="button"> <svg width="28" height="24"> … </svg> </div> </div> Issues and how to fix them Setting button semantics explicitly using the role attribute isn’t necessary, there’s an element for that (button). You don’t need the tabindex...

SWInE: Simplicial Weight Interpolation and Extrapolation

from Words and Buttons Online [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
I stole exactly three ideas from other people, made them work together, and gave that compilation a funny name. I had my fun playing with the concept but the conclusion I had to put into my thesis was: “SWInE is rather promising”. In academic language, this means “useless”....

Some miscellaneous git facts

from Julia Evans [alt+shift+b] in programming

a year ago
I’ve been very slowly working on writing about how Git works. I thought I already knew Git pretty well, but as usual when I try to explain something I’ve been learning some new things. None of these things feel super surprising in retrospect, but I hadn’t thought about them...

Dresses, 'dressing up', and the software industry

from Liz Denys [alt+shift+b] in programming

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
