It’s unfortunate that this name was used. There is a W3C community group called OpenUI ( https://open-ui.org/ ) which has been around for close to a decade, working on improving UI standards for the web.

I will get around to fixing this. An oversight. Apologies.

Right. The average score is under different test conditions. Obviously this game is a little silly version with very little accuracy to the lab testing, but hopefully it gets people thinking about this stuff a bit more! Which given your inv

JND is an average. A lot of people will do a lot worse. The measure, as I understand it, is also under different test conditions, while this is a game where people are on their own and able to - for example - tilt their head trying to find

It’s not executing JS. The names map to JS methods but both the HTML and JS call into C++ (or rust or swift whatever the browser is written in). Arbitrary JS code execution cannot occur. Of course if you’re ingesting user generated content

Author here. I am not affiliated with Google. My current employer is GitHub, and this was incubated in the OpenUI working group. Open source & the open Web are still very much alive!

BroadcastChannel is a better solution for a couple of reasons. Service Workers are better at intercepting network requests and returning items from a cache, there’s some amount of additional effort to do work outside of that. The other thin

Thank you for providing the detail I was scant on.

While it hasn't been expressly resolved by the HTML working group to not propose new attributes with dashes, and while I don't speak for everyone in the HTML working group, I would assert that many members would object to a propos

They key difference is that an attribute can only appear once on an element, and consequently only have one of its variants present. Classes can present multiple variants at once. At a surface level `<div class="Card" data-size

I’ve been working on https://webcomponents.guide/ with some fellow experts in order to improve the documentation side of things. Hoping to offer guidelines and best practices to limit the amount of searching and experimenta

That’s what CSS parts and slots are for. Your component can style its own boundaries, provide parts to allow customisation, and use slots to inject components that are styled from outside (be it another ShadowDOM or the light DOM)

I don’t recall saying old technology is bad. I was more trying to say it served its purpose at the time but as websites have gotten more complex we’re still relying on this one single primitive. It’s true that as systems scale often templat

For large applications with many thousands of pages, or many thousands of engineers working on the same system, name collisions happen. It’s not just throwing “random css” into the mix, it’s that many disjointed parts of the same applicatio

I felt the “considered harmful” style of titles have been overused that no one would reasonably consider it anything but click bait; and so used it as ironic-click-bait.

by Keithamus 4y ago
Naming collisions are a pretty real problem when you get to building large systems. They’re a big enough problem for something like CSS Modules to exist (explained further down in the post).

I considered exploring it but css selector performance just doesn’t matter with todays engines. There are far greater issues, and far better performance wins than “optimising your selectors”.

Just to update everyone: the domain has been renewed and is being transferred over to my account (as the current lead maintainer). We’ll use some funds to ensure it stays active for a long time and this won’t happen again.

Failed expectations always throw an AssertionError, and they always have a stack. It might be the test runner you have which is breaking or hiding the stack?

Sorry to hear that Andrew. If you'd like to point me to issues or PRs where you've contributed and don't feel like you had a good response, I'd be happy to follow up on them.

Hi, I'm the current lead maintainer of Chai. We don't own the domain name, the previous maintainer/author does. It seems to have lapsed. There's not much I can do about that other than attempt to contact the previous mai

Deno uses uint8array (pretty much Nodes Buffers (Node Buffers subclass UInt8Array these days)) for almost all methods. For example Deno comes with `Deno.readFile` which returns a Promise<UInt8Array>, but they include the special case
