how about pi.dev, sandboxing, and local model, or is that too much into the weeds?

Just came in the post. I'm officially part of the club. The learning never stops, and I am open to some tips. What's next?

@firefox.com now supports `field-size`. That means with one line of CSS we have text inputs that resize depending on the content. How cool? Here is a demo in @svelte.dev playground. More info: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

How to become a better team member?

I am still hand-typing code.

If you feel good, you look good IMO.

Awesome. I love svelte and am fortunate to use it for work. Let me know if you have any questions :)

I use raw CSS. For work, we are migrating away from tailwind to raw CSS. I think it's good to have that control over CSS and knowledge. Additionally, the CSS is scoped in svelte files, so makes more sense to use raw CSS. But that's my opinion and I could be wrong. Thoughts?

What are some good ways to keep track of films watched and books read? For my site, I'm considering creating a new content type for books read and films watched.

Should dark mode be supported by web applications as a minimum? Warning video does have significant contrast switching.

7. The morning ritual involves dark chocolate paired with homemade espresso flat white. I usually have this in a heated cup (not pictured) which keeps the brew warm 8. Misc. such as items to clean my desk as a mobility ball to roll out my wrist

1. Split keyboard to help with ergonomics 2. Ergonomic mouse that I use with Windows machines (I use the (3.) touchpad for MacOS) 3. Magic Trackpad that I use with MacOS. 4. Timer that shows a more physical representation of a countdown 5. E-ink Display 6. Pen Ink for my fountain pen

Call me crazy (and also a little bit messy - dust appears 0.001ms after cleaning...), here are some items I have on my desk to create a sense of joy for work.

... it's like it occupies different parts of your brain, but requires training. The only thing I can relate this to is Salsa and Zouk. Basic for salsa lead is left foot forward; Zouk is left foot back - you mess up for a bit, then mind is able to switch. Crazy how our brains work...

Yeah mate, I agree with you, actually and thanks for calling me out on number 4 with my silly doomer mindset. I recall I had trouble with the ortholinear layout, got used it, then went back to laptop, was bad at it for a bit, then got used it, and now I can switch back and forward easily...

Oryx: The ZSA Keyboard Configurator

I just had a look and am very impressed. Here is my layout: configure.zsa.io/moonlander/l... I'm missing out on so much, but I'm lazy to: 1. explore what I'm missing out on 2. relearn new config 3. I create a new config and never use it lol 4. Don't want to get too out of touch with a norm layout

configure.zsa.io

A powerful, visual tool to configure your keyboard. Based on the open-source QMK firmware.

Would it be useful (or even possible) to have duckduckgo !bangs for the svelte(kit) documentation?
