This looks amazing, congratulations! I can see that it seems to run offline (curl says "# requires networking"), but if I launch it on airplane mode on an iPhone it halts. Is this the expected behavior? Also, is it possible to install packages? These two things could address some of the shortcomings of iSH. Thanks!!
Could you elaborate? I always found the "grading on a curve" a distinctly American approach that leads to grade inflation and an overall lower academic level. Now, granted, the US provides very unique opportunities for students that want to go above and beyond, but that's another story.
At least a full fourth of the ASCII code points, 0x00-0x1F, are not printable. A bit more, as we should add del (0x7F) and, according to some though more controversially, space (0x20).
I feel the dates of publication and last update should be readily available, that is in the content and at the beginning. Of course this goes against minimalism, and plenty of maximalist websites omit this information as well.
Yes, used in the past. I don't currently use them, though I think they are cool mechanical marvels, especially IBM Selectrics. Those were way too expensive to own personally, but were common in offices. My personal typewriter was a much cheaper Smith Corona electric.
Apologies for such a basic question. I have node installed on my machine, but clearly no idea how a JS library is included anymore (among other things...). I created an HTML file, included a div ``a div with id "my-div-id"`` as instructed, and even added type="module" in the script tag, but I get in Chrome ``Uncaught TypeError: Failed to resolve module specifier "facesjs". Relative references must start with either "/", "./", or "../".``
Any pointers on all the steps to running this? Should I expect node to create a js file that could be served together with the HTML file? Or would my hosting server need to have node, and run it every time there is a request? Thanks in advance, I'm sorry for the confusion.
Genuine question - what does that phrase mean to you?
I've only ever heard it in the context of television shows (meaning "has been renewed for so many seasons that the writers have run out of ideas and have started forcing the characters into ever wackier situations to generate novelty") - and while it's intuitivve to map from that meaning to a more generic "has gone on for too long and thus become bad", the translation is fascinating. When you said this, were you intentionally using a term from another domain with a different meaning in the confidence that your audience could translate it appropriately, or does the phrase "jump the shark" really just mean "be old, and thus bad" to you?
(Asking from a purely non-prescriptivist non-judgemental perspective! I'm interested in understanding your thought process, not in judging or correcting you)
happy days was running out of ideas and wanted to continue to retain audience attention and had The Fonz water ski and jump over a shark.
silicon valley was running out of ideas, but steve ballmer famously delivered the Developers, developers, developers speech paving the way for capturing developer market share, for a platform with platform developers is no platform at all.
there’s tooling that solves technical problems and tooling that business problems.
a system has “jumped the shark” when there are at least five ways to accomplish the same thing and the audience was just trying to have some happy days on the tubes.
my core hunch is that the ecosystem is a compile target versus a respected platform and that’s where i believe the shark has been jumped.
the web is cool, if only we stopped trying to jump it and befriend the shark already.
the long answer is, i’ve got a bespoke markdown like syntax i’m using for both a
web publishing and screenplay authoring. i feel no difference between telling stories in interactive web formats or printed pages.
yeah, i thought about asking if OP was using vite, webpack, snowpack or babel, but based on the context of the question, it seemed like vanilla web, so i answered vanilla web.
Thank you very much for your help, just upvoting feels rude! I have not quite gotten there, but thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Clearly I'm an enthusiast at best, but "back in my day" you could put all the needed libraries in the script tag and the CSS under link... sigh... The moment nodejs, supposedly a back end, started being used pervasively for the front end, I lost whatever conceptual map I had. Just as a personal challenge, I'm planning to _study_ [1], which I see referenced a lot, and see if I can "get it", albeit partially. Any other such references would be welcome.
Thanks again! Great website and projects, by the way.
for an easier way to import, download the module you want to import, put it next to the js file you will import it from, and use "import foo from './foo'". You might need to serve it from a local http server.
this commit[0] i export two functions from my payment debugger module (i am intentionally overloading the word module to additionally bind a view; this is a personal hot take and not general guidance, just in case you see how i use ‘@sillonious/module’).
so i expose payment-debugger.js in the index.html file import map as @sillonious/payments.
i import that module in the message-pay component.
when the user clicks buy now, i call the newPayment function (which ultimately lands in client.js, after traversing the network; in case you’re curious about the full route). i also set a timer that’ll check the payment status every five seconds for 15 minutes. displaying a timeout message is a not yet implemented edge case.
Since I don't know many people using MacOS, I didn't know this was a thing. But it appears to be a UX problem with that particular OS rather than a problem with the existence of the capslock key.
