I just spent a week being mad at Tailwind. Turns out? it me for not manually scanning deps. That 4.0.0-beta vite integration won’t get automatically updated to stable no matter how many times I run npm up.

Python project management is a nightmare of abundance. Node project management is a nightmare of tracking dependencies and then also tracking the integrations between those dependencies.

@tek So sad how far Nickelback has fallen.

(posting it like this because I’m pretty sure I missed an npm flag or alternate tool, and my Internet’s pretty good about telling me what I did wrong)

@grimalkina An actual proper LOL at “Trauma-informed career growth in tech.” Cripes my sense of humor is dark this morning.

But also a trauma-informed resume would be fun to write. It wouldn’t get me hired, but I’m already not getting hired1 so what the heck.

1: not getting hired yet

Congrats on the sponsored video I guess?

Gotta pay out better than their NFT idea.

Today’s web site silliness: added a light/dark toggle with hyperscript, saving preference to browser localStorage.

I’ll make it more smarterer later. Mainly needed it for when I’m comparing my own color schemes.

A blog site front page, with dark background. A button in the top right corner reads “Light/Dark”

@tithonium look I get a hit from Firefox on Linux with no referer and no JS for the analytics service, I know where they came from.

Parsing both markdown sources and HTML for my search thing (for metadata and rendered content, respectively). Realized I could simplify that by putting the most important metadata in the generated HTML.

Got three lines into a nested component structure when I realized I already have the most important metadata identified in the generated HTML, via microformats2 classes.

Thanks, past me!

Petition to start calling the gulf “Chactemal.” I have not yet found a citation backing the claim that this was the Mayan name for the water and not just the name for the province bordering the water.

But it’s a way cooler name.
