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...

The CSS scroll snap module provides properties that let you control the panning and scrolling behavior by defining snap positions. Content can be snapped into position as the user scrolls overflowing ...

About extension layers... See? I even made it rhyme 😎

My first article in a while – a cohesive look Nuxt's data fetching tools, within the context of Nuxt's render lifecycle; not just the "how" but the "where", "when" and "why" – mainly for my benefit! davestewart.co.uk/blog/nuxt-da... cc @nuxt.com

It turned out it was just that monitor model. I sent it back and got a different one

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

It's the old "show don't tell" thing really. You know what it is, I don't.

Ah, that's not quite how it's playing out; the string parsing is fine. I think @brc-dd.dev managed to answer it though!

Thanks for the docs link! I guess this sentence clarifies things: "Props with Boolean type have special casting rules to mimic the behavior of native boolean attributes." Not very Vue-intuitive, sadly, especially when passing as a value, but there we go! 🙏

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...

(Only works if you know the Geordie accent...) A lorry load of tortoises and a lorry load of terrapins collided in Newcastle today. The scene was described as a "turtle disaster".

Bluesky is still a ghost town for me. How do I change that?

Dave Stewart @davestewart.uk · 06/04/2025

Thanks for making it through the whole article!!

The "yet" sounds hopeful! That's one my main issues with Claude; I have so many chats but no way to arrange them. Anyway, I will give it a try!

Dave Stewart @davestewart.uk · 04/04/2025

@egoist.dev – what organisational tools does chatwise.app have? Can I organise past chats into groups, for example?

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

Dave Stewart @davestewart.uk · 04/03/2025

Probably. But I'm flat out on other projects at the moment. This one ended up being a bit of a time sink; I'm just happy it's still working for now 👍

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

And in WebStorm you can use LESS, then customise the Identifier token to change the text color 🔥

I should have mentioned my TL;DR which is "disable path prefixes if you value your sanity"

"for the man who already has two bathrobes"

It could have at least sent you reccs for silk pyjamas, fluffy slippers, smoking jacket, bath salts, eye mask...
