On: I kind of like rebasing

[jacobr]

Any article about rebase is incomplete without the mention of `git commit --fixup fb2f677`. When committing you usually already know which commit you’re “fixing” so you specify that.

Then you run `git rebase -i --autosquash origin/main` instead and the commits are already in the right order.

Even when I do know which commit I am fixing I usually don't know the commit hash without looking it up - and doing that takes as long as manually reordering the lines in an interactive rebase.

On: VueJS turns 10 years old

[jacobr]

```

const $ = document.querySelector.bind(document);

$('.box').hidden = true;

$('.box').hidden = false;

```

[troupo → jacobr]

1. Not really.

jQuery is designed not to fail. So if there's no `.box` on the page, jQuery will not do anything.

`querySelector` may return null, so `$('.box').hidden` will hard break your page if you're not careful enough

2. `$('.box').hide()` is just one such example.

The hilarious https://youmightnotneedjquery.com/ shows that jQuery remains more consistent, concise, and composable than most things in modern browser APIs

[just_testing → troupo]

jumping in on this bandwagon... I sometimes look https://youmightnotneedjquery.com when I forget how to do something with jQuery.

Also, do you know if there is a jQuery-like that actually throws exceptions? Having `$('.box').hide()` tell me there is no `.box` would be pretty useful.

On: What's that touchscreen in my room?

[jacobr]

"The concrete description of what is going on here is spread atom-thin across several websites, all of which expect you to know the terminology. Each of these websites provides you with a tiny piece of the puzzle and you are expected to combine it together on your own."

Oh how I unironically love these types of quests.

On: The "Cheap" Web

[jacobr]

There's a shift though, just the last couple of years. Today all browsers support native modals with the dialog element, accordions with details/summary, everything but Firefox supports popovers (dropdowns, tooltips, menus, etc) in plain HTML.

I'd honestly love to be a beginner again learning modern HTML and CSS today, it's not bad at all.

On: Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem – The barrel ...

[jacobr]

It’s built in to VS Code, see editor.foldingImportsByDefault.

On: Why Tailwind CSS Won

[jacobr]

Yes, the biggest drawback of Tailwind is React. Or specifically, relying on components as the mechanism for style composition.

On: Breaking Up with SVG-in-JS in 2023

[jacobr]

External css files are render blocking, meaning any content after a <link rel=stylesheet> will not be visible until the css has been loaded.

On: Tennis balls serve as decent bicycle tires that do...

[jacobr]

Looks a bit like tire inserts - basically foam rings you put inside the tire, common on mountain bikes. I just installed that on my bike, which not only protects my rims but also lets me ride home from the trail with a flat tire. https://www.bikeradar.com/advice/buyers-guides/best-tubeless...

On: No Lodash

[jacobr]

Because it’s easier to just not use lodash.

On: Declarative Shadow DOM

[jacobr]

Unfortunately none of that works with the feature in TFA because it’s not supported by Declarative Shadow DOM.
