"Every Layout" Mixins Every Layout is a collection of composable CSS layout patterns. Here's how I've extracted them into a reusable pattern library I can use in any project.

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

If I do all the missions but don’t spend all my tickets, is it still possible to complete the track?

Great work, thank you! Does the time-to-completion assume you complete all missions, or spend all tickets?

I really like the idea of using atproto instead of a remote DB, but of course all the data becomes public.

Thank you for continuing to consistently publish high-quality resources. I’m hoping to get in on the Mindful Design and CSS courses too!

I can’t say enough good things about the JavaScript for Everyone course, Every Layout and the articles and newsletter published by Piccalilli.

If you’re looking to explore the exciting world of front-end, these are dollars very well spent.

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too πŸ’›

A Majora's-Mask-style "Dawn of The Final Day. 24 Hours Remain" title card, but using the JavaScript for Everyone Atari-style type and branding. The background is made up of two low-angle perspective views of rectangles on grids that meet at a sharp line, resembling a horizon.

This is it. 86,791 words. 836 emdashes. 625 `const`, 141 `let`, 16 `var`. One (1) reference to the pause music from Battletoads for the NES.

Spread the word: JavaScript for Everyone launches tomorrow.

I can't stress enough how important it is to make an example here. Take all the money from these companies. Find alternatives.

Vote with your pockets because fundamentally money and power is everything to these insufferable pricks.

🚨Survey on the boat excursion zone. Please fill it out. Some boaters have been upset & threatened to disrupt Hanlans beach (speed camera vigilantes but on water). We need more fortified & larger swim zones like in the EU w ropes/floats to keep boats & jet skis away from swimmers. 🚨
