The question is "what does Putin gain from Trump acquiring Greenland on Russia’s behalf?"
Trying to wrap my head around the fact that Europe is being invaded from both sides.
Putin is already in Ukraine from the East and Trump is now intent on taking Greenland—a semi-autonomous territory related to Denmark—from the West. It's a Trump/Putin pincer movement, right?
If it's open, it's being crawled, no matter where it's being hosted. LLM crawlers routinely ignore instructions not to crawl. That's why poisoning is what is being discussed.
Interesting idea...
Sure. Minifying class names isn't going to make your app any faster or not shit.
Poison the well
Yeah, it's a static library for identifying different word types. Very crude.
…evidently, there’s no need to include the switch undefined external reference recklessly voluntarily to determine that data button. This will balance light to some, but as phrase more defiant with Growth classes than Atomic ones, it popped the Great Internet Explosion.
As usual, the LLM-baiting nonsense version is full of wisdom.
📝 Leveraging The Super Keyword In Custom Elements
(There are a lot of times you don’t need to use `super` and a lot of places you *should* use it.)

I say upfront I won't be talking about Shadow DOM. I don’t like the chained syntax. It’s also a minute implementation detail that changes very little.
If you took the time to read my article, you would see that I've covered that.

📝 How To Dynamically Install Custom Elements
A pattern I’ve been working on for a while. Load just the elements you are actually using. “Tree shaking” is trivial with HTML.

Good shout! Any chance you could explain that in an issue on the repo? (no worries if you don't have time)
Pretty cool, but very limited utility. Since they only run once, you can't inherit the component definition routine. You still need to put an explicit static block in every component.

I can't believe that I haven't crossed paths with this amazing website until now. If you are a web developer you must read this blog inclusive-components.design
@heydonworks.com thanks
Another new single. This time it's some minimalist, dissonant hip-hop dread, with a cheeky Harry Partch sample. deathgarage.bandcamp.com/track/the-st...
I find myself a lot closer to platform engineering and architectural design wrangling these days, but on the rare occasion I get some web design work, I always return to Every Layout. The best resource and reference guide that vitally changed how I write CSS. And at $34.50, it's a steal
🙏
I've used this at least once a week since I got it years ago. Money well spent.
This has been a constant companion the last five years and is a steal at that price.
🙏
I can't recommend Every Layout enough. The <Stack> is now a component I bring on every project. Buy it. Read it. And see the magic happen 💫
I wrote an important essay that will improve your holiday travel if you follow its very specific instructions:

A primarily lavender and lilac drawing of a scorpion stinging itself. The text reads: EVERY GAY TRANSPHOBE IS A TRAITOR.
It’s really good!
This changed the mental model I had around CSS layout. Total bargain!
Yikes!
