TIL that element.scrollIntoView() is superior to window.scrollTo() because it's compatible with the Scroll Snap API and takes into account things like scroll padding, scroll margin, scroll snapping, etc. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

Claude wrote me some Vue code today, and added the HTML comment you see here, regarding generics. I've never seen this before, but it called it a "generic directive" and it does seem to actually alter how the code is interpreted by TypeScript, so wondering – is this TS, Vue, or something else?

Does anyone have any experience with IPS monitors? I'm just testing a new Iiyama 24" QHD and whilst it's sharper than my old (non IPS) one it exhibits crazy colour shift towards the edges. Is this normal? Anyone got any recs for something better? Ideally 24" as I have two, side to side

Can any clever Vue folks tell me why this Vue component error prop declared as `boolean | string` would coerce to true (bad) when an empty string is passed, but be received as a string (good) when declared as `string | boolean` ? play.vuejs.org#eNqFUk1PwzAM...

@ewalf.com just to let you know the blurb for Blusky Follower Info looks to be almost completely wrong. It doesn't send emails or do any of the thing you mention in features. Full information and features on the Chrome Web Store download page: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/blues...

Anyone else finding Claude 3.7 thinking makes mountains out of molehills? It seems particularly bad at anything involving recursion, and writes way too much code, repeats code where it shouldn't, and fails on the actual logic needed to recurse. Had happened twice now. Would be simpler to DIY

We had some confusion at work the other day as to when Vue refs do or don't get unwrapped in templates, specifically when objects or their values (such as composable results) are passed to child components. I created a playground here: play.vuejs.org#eNqVVcty2zYU... #vue #nuxt #reactivity

New Bluesky Follower Info feature landing soon; collapse user profiles (with options to expand or collapse by default). Should make for neater timelines for known/reviewed followers.

Dave Stewart @davestewart.uk · 06/12/2024

Considering renaming Bluesky Follower Info, as its scope has widened (notifications, starter packs). Please vote for: - Bluesky Notifications + - Bluesky Notifications Plus - Bluesky Better Notifications - Bluesky Extended Notifications - Bluesky User Info - <a new suggestion> - <no change>

I added a new feature to Bluesky Follower Info this morning, for the follower info 👍 to update when you follow or unfollow someone! Dunno about you, but I think this is pretty slick 😎 Should release this later today 🚀

It's funny to think that Musk supposedly bought and rebranded Twitter as "X" to become an "everything" app. Surveying what's left of the smouldering wreckage of Twitter and the decimation of its user base – it does not seem like it will ever become anything for anyone, does it? X-tinct 🦖 perhaps ?

I got fed up with not being able to see any meaningful details about new followers in the Bluesky notifications feed, so I've made a chrome extension to fix it. Will post again when it's published on the Chrome Web Store!

@bsky.app needs a much better UI for reviewing recent followers and whether to follow back. A list which shows a profile icon and a handle is about as much good as a chocolate teapot! Why not promote the bio info to the page along with a few stats about when they joined, active posting, etc.?

@samuel.bsky.team Hey hey... How come the features are not tangibly better than old twitter, yet? Is there evenue for official feedback?

Dave Stewart @davestewart.uk · 16/11/2024

Feeling very disappointed with Bluesky so far... - curve-balled by random "interests" quiz at the start - daily follows by folks with those "interests" I'm not interested in - generally, minimal engagement with my "real" interests (see bio) - no improvement on original twitter How do you find it?

Another reason to prefer Claude over Chat GPT for coding is that it's explanations are just much more on-point. I tested Chat GPT for a problem today and it feels rambling and vague; "this might work, it could be this" vs Claude which tells you what the issue is, then simply refactors it for you.

I've been using AI to help me write code for a while now, but it never occured to me before _how_ it writes code quite so well. This is a transcript of a conversation between Claude AI and myself, as I ask it to explain how it actually does what it does. davestewart.co.uk/blog/how-ai-...

How do AIs code as well as they do?

Claude AI explains in its own words how it writes such good code

At work, I recently solved a nested sticky-header issue. The trick is to programmatically set all child headers' `top` offset to the cumulative height of all parent headers. Here's a (Claude-generated) demo + code. (make sure to set the layout to "right results") jsfiddle.net/davestewart/...

It's really useful when deciding whether to follow / follow back if you have at least some text in your bio! 🙏
