I started a blog. Own domain, Markdown files, nobody's algorithm in between. First post is about why: my kids, the web I grew up on, technofeudalism, and wanting a small piece of the internet to be mine again. Written, not a podcast. davide.consulting/blog/why-i-s...

Why I started this blog

Fear, a green beard, technofeudalism and a small piece of the web that is mine again.

When words fail me, I turn to art. Duchamp’s Fountain keeps coming to mind as AI reshapes web craftsmanship: authorship, intention, endless output. So I made an AI-assisted urinal that generates interpretations. It contains some of my feelings. And probably too many words.

FountAIn — Optional intention

Unlimited generation. Optional intention. A Duchamp-inspired web artwork about AI, craftsmanship, and the meaning we attach to what we make.

On an unrelated note: I upgraded to macOS Tahoe last night. I apologize for the negativity but the UI is just so ugly I instantly regretted the upgrade. And now I learn that it drains the battery, which I noticed during the day today. It's not lasting nearly as long as it usually does. Great. 😭

View transitions, anchor positioning, @scope, focusgroup, invokers, popovers, container queries, grid, relative colors, style-able selects, and more. The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

Has anyone figured a bulletproof way to use anchor positioning w/ a tooltip pointer? @css-only.dev got far¹²³ but these all depend on the tooltip being opaque. Just got nerd sniped trying to figure this out! ¹ css-tip.com/tooltip-anch... ² css-tip.com/tooltip-anch... ³ css-tip.com/tooltip-anch...

For people who think it's useless because we can simply define max/min-width are missing the point. It's not only about that specific case, but also about any combination that involves other values as well.

💡 CSS Tip! A simple line of modern CSS to create a conditional Border Radius. The value will adjust based on either the container width or screen width. css-tip.com/conditional-... cc @ishadeed.com @una.im

The following CSS code:
.box {
border-radius: calc(sign(100cqi - 100%)*2rem);

I’ve updated my Pomodoro technique and working playlist all at once. It’s good not to have a precise counter but to follow the flow till you have to change the vinyl side. Also Listening to an entire album instead of random songs on Spotify is an experience I suggest reviving sometimes

Today, I visited the Google Accessibility Discover Center in Milan. It’s a fantastic journey, and experiencing firsthand all the ways someone can navigate the a11y spectrum is something every crafter should do. ADC is open across Europe.

One of my 2024 (yes, two thousand twenty-FOUR) was to try some Effect-TS. I tried it 4/5 years ago, but it wasn’t even close to the new stable version. By the way, I never had the chance during the year. But today is still 2024, no? So here I am. Let’s dig into some functional hell before New Eve.
