Step 1: Write a website in pure HTML, can be converted or builded from something like Markdown

Step 2: Style it a little with CSS, as a layer on top, without touching HTML

Step 3: Profit.

Frontend devs stopped giving a shit about wide screens at like 24"

It's just massive blank spaces seperating the work area and sides

Is Linus still doing the thing with the videos? Huh.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Lol was pretty much my first thought.

This is not even an edge case, this is jump down from the edge to find what lies in the dark pit of despairs case

And bootstrap's biggest Screen size Starts at 1400 width... 4k be damned

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I don't want to use Bootstrap in my future project because Twitter. What are y'all using now?

What's the use case for such a big monitor anyway?

Being able to fit a java class name in 1 line

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Eh, I'm sure we can overrun it just by gluing sufficient instances of Factory to the end of the classname.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

And OOP in general. I also used to be infamous for such things, then I started to shorten the names, including using letters that are obvious to the user (e.g. int w, h; for width and height).

Looks like Untitled Goose Game.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah he played some games on it to show the different scaling implications.

It is a digital signage display (ie in store ads, menus, displays etc) - not meant for desktop use.

You sent me down a rabbit hole. Now I’m using a hamerspoon script which mimicks paperwm/niri

Liking it so far!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

thats a cool concept

I am a backend dev, but this shit is why I have utmost respect for frontend devs, also because they know how to center a div.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

With flexbox and grid there is no excuse for not knowing how to do that at this point.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.

I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

honestly a lot of the people trying to pass as big pros on the internet are beginners. however its the most common issue with css, so its solution is dead easy to fucking find.

with that said, if i havent been using css in a while ill probably have to look it up.

Computer science doesn't have much to do with making websites but ok

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Not web sites but certainly web applications.
