I don't know I've encountered this same issue, but I've seen cases where the same stylesheet would be fetched multiple times which is quite annoying. I had to go out of my way to setup something to handle this. Basically in m

I think also the lack of framework support for things like defining a shadow root probably feeds into this idea it needs to be mutually exclusive. Elements in shadow root elements can be updated more or less the same way as elements in ligh

I think it's better to think of "Web components" as "Custom Elements" they really aren't components in the way you think of components in other frameworks (which on the web introduced them first), and I think m

Yeah these are definitely some of the more well known examples, these early communist countries tended to have a lot of state capacity so if there were such things like local planning controls and they got in the way of state priorities the

I think you're right, I wrote my comment after skimming for stuff on planning and before getting the mobile home part. I hadn't considered trailers > The comment from here onwards is about Sydney specifically, so if you're

This kind of capture the point tbh > For many sectors of construction, difficulty in achieving economies of scale could be attributed to the fact that only a small number of buildings of a particular type get built in the US each year. T
