First issue of Web Technology News has just been published! My new Ghost newsletter that you can find here on Mastodon: @feed. Let me know what you think...it's just a start and I want this to be easy to read every week. Also, I'm looking for a catchphrase to end each issue 😀 Suggestions welcome... webtechnology.news/wtn-1-www-3…

Interesting. Looks like the blockquote element is missing width: 100% to look correct. I haven't seen this issue on other pages but it's probably because the parent element is display: flex.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

@Gargron Thanks for the feedback. Yes, this could be an issue with the specific Ghost template I'm using. I will look further into it and bring it up in Ghost forum if there is an issue there.

I want this game to have no combat, just city building and economy. Loved that part so much.

Why should I play this version when I need the original? Then I could just play the original. I don't quite understand the point

palm oil's gross - I keep trying to get people to stop buying it. It's an alternative to butter - that tells you something right there


Feeling like maybe I only post about Drop-In Time at the library when things go well. Today was an in-between day (and I have pictures).

You remember Tom from a month ago? He's been helping my friend paint his house a few doors down. He saw me outside and shouted down from the roof that his email wasn't working. I said we could work on that, but not now. This is him checking his text from me so that he can be sure I'm in his phone. Totally safe behavior.

in reply to Jessamyn

Steve has a shaky hand and can neither type the numbers in nor read them to me because he forgot his glasses.

Despite this, he is delightful company and when we finally make his FIRST CELL PHONE CALL EVER (and set up his voicemail, and write down EVERY password) we're both making too much celebratory noise for the library.

Earlier, Pat from last week dropped by with a loaf of cinnamon bread as a thanks for making her Windows laptop faster last week and I send Steve home with some.

I leave the library on time and go for a walk with my friend near the place where I am feeding my friend's cats. We go up the hill to where they tore that old house down and marvel at what the view must have been like. I still have a little numb spot at the end of my middle finger from pressing the power button for ten seconds at a time on Steve's phone. I put him in my contacts, just in case. EOM.

@dystopod Yes!! 100% I noticed recently a very big NFP in my country advertising for a role for an agriculture campaigner...the campaign was NOT about ending animal agriculture for environmental reasons but instead focused on switching from fossil fuels to renewables. It's just one part of it...so stupid!

Have you noticed that everyone in certain subcultures keeps using the term "first principles"? I explore its origins for Compact magazine: compactmag.com/article/how-eng…

For general stuff like web browsing and editing a document it just works.

Look at this unutterably cool postcard @Christoph S sent me!

Jacob Riis and the Photographs That Changed New York

Jacob Riis, “Lodgers in a Crowded Bayard Street Tenement–‘Five Cents a Spot'”
...and yet we still have thousands upon thousands of people sleeping on the streets.

in reply to Muse

Every time we let the capitalists rise, this is the shit we get, along with many other ills.


It is psychotic to allege that NIH grant funding “lines grantees pocketbooks”. Grants pay for the scientific research proposed in the application. Budgets are tightly monitored on at least three levels. The Regime simply doesn’t think scientists should be paid for their work.



Jim Cameron on digital and physical effects: “It’s really the higher question of what are you trying to show, and what are you trying to say? I don’t attach some kind of dogmatic aesthetic around in-camera or practical... It’s really just a means to an end.”

Being in the industry, I can tell you with 100% confidence that a lot of the "great practical FX" that you've seen in the past 20 years... is actually CG (3D models, anim, sim, rendering, comp, etc). The whole point is that good CG has gotten so good that you'd have no idea f you didn't already know.

But it's cooler for studios and directors to just lie about that and market things as "100% practical", and the lie is easy to get away with because it's indistinguishable.

@Gargron @ezekiel Not one example? How would the T-1000 in Terminator 2 have worked with practical effects?


:boost_requested: Can anyone recommend an antenna to plug into ESP32 modules?

I mean the kind pictured, I like to be able to place the antenna outside my enclosure.

The datasheet specifies w.fl, mhf III from ipex, or AMC. I picked amazon.com/dp/B07R21LN5P as a cheap guess since it says u.fl ipex but it won't fit and amazon corrects w.fl to u.fl...

Unfortunately the recommended TFPD08H10060011 is not something I can find to buy.

Asking for part numbers if anyone has done this before.
