It won't override global scope, it's just a hint the layout engine that your container's paint and/or size won't change, and thus it can optimise it's performance. Wholly agree with your second point, it's

Depends - do you want screen readers to hear something? If so, add a `aria-label="heart"` or similar. If not, add `role="presentation"` to remove it from the accessibility tree altogether. You might also want to change t

That's absolutely not the case for the most part, depending on the bar and the time. Go out to a city centre on an evening, especially Friday or Saturday. Most bars and pubs will be busy, noisy, and definitely playing music. There are

You're mixing metaphors there! It might be lightweight but it's still a flavour. It's still not part of the common browser API, so yes it's easy to add, but no, it's not vanilla.

"stole a kiss" wtf is this minimising bullshit? According to the article, he forced himself on someone, grabbing them by the throat. They feared for their life. According to the article, he also literally had sex with his partner

There are lots of people without your educational background. It's a few years old now, but I remember finding Alice Bartlett's talk on <select> box inaccessability [1] quite instructive. 1: https://www.youtube.co

This has been my go-to placeholder site for the best part of a decade. Not because it necessarily works the best, but just because I always remember it.

I think this is really nice and smart. I would suggest left-aligning the text in the edit/view mode for a few reasons: 1) It's a bit easier to read for longer text sources 2) It makes writing/reading JSON/YAML/other

Elm is lovely, and I'd definitely encourage people to take a look at it from an education point of view at the least. However, I think that's a disingenous comparison. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, which means any JS dev

I can only assume that you're trying to run before you can walk. Remember that you're just defining a set of layout rules. You're not giving the browser specific instructions to follow. It seems that there's the temptati

This Londoner definitely agrees. Their special exhibitions are usually of a very high quality too, worth making the effort in my experience.

They will absolutely merge in fixes, though they may well not be timely if they're not from internal engineers. I've had broken behaviour sit in a PR for over 6 months before.

FlatList was absolutely the way to go here. In fact, we initially built the list in question when ListView was the only option. During development, FlatList was made available as an experimental component. It made a huge difference switchin

RN isn't a wrapped HTML renderer like Phonegap. It uses bridge code to render native UI powered by JS business logic. You still write in JSX, which makes layout pretty straightforward. With some careful optimisation, I had pretty solid

I had a pretty similar experience. It's still a challenging environment - getting performance and memory management nailed across platforms and devices took some very careful engineering. Based on my limited experience with native iOS

They have! I use a Jetbrains editor daily and I'd never be able to work without it. Look under Edit > Column Selection Mode. I think it's bound to Cmd+Shift+8 by default. If you have a set of lines selected, it will transform t

I know... it really bothers me how everything becomes a binary evaluation. Something not to your taste isn't objectively terrible, it's just not to your taste. I think it's a symptom of youth and a lack of perspective - I was

Tbh not really, I often stop to investigate stuff anyway. I personally prefer to have it at my pace and under my control than listen through someone laboriously explain something I know in great detail. But this is the great thing about the

I completely understand that it could be more difficult for non-native speakers to understand. It's been sped up to match the cartoon style characters that he uses, and presumably for information density. I personally really enjoyed it

Great book. I'd also recommend his free video course on Egghead. It's rather quirky, which is something that I very much enjoyed: https://egghead.io/courses/professor-frisby-introduces-compo...

The Hasselblad sensor shift is amazing for photographing art or still life (i.e. cars etc) - I'm sure you can imagine how excellent this is for commercial photography.

I think you'd be best placed to at least familiarise yourself with the concepts of CSS Grid first. I had a bunch of my colleagues work through http://cssgridgarden.com/ , which seemed to be a good first start for them.
