Totally agree! I'm still on the Pixel 4a, starting to look at an upgrade but I don't think there is one. Luckily I don't demand too much from my phone, but making better pictures would be nice.

The author says he wants to switch Disqus to Commento but I wouldn't just do that. I didn't have a great experience with Commento. I like the idea and mostly the execution of it (including the OAuth) but I found some major bugs (Firefox just didn't work at the time) and I didn't get any response to reporting those. I asked a few more questions by mail and also no response. After that I'm gone pretty quick.

Not that I'm saying you should use Disqus since they have some privacy issues

Hi guys,

This is a side project I made for fun. It's basically "Tinder for music". It works by selecting a playlist to establish a baseline for the type of music you're interested in. As you swipe, it shows you more music based on what you've liked so far.

It uses the Spotify API under the hood for track recommendations.

Let me know what you think!

There is some horrible javascript that calculates what the font size should be based on the height of the browser. A large screen gets a huge font and if you zoom out then the resize event triggers which keeps the font the same size.

Might be one of the worst things I've seen on the web so far

I'd hate to go all political but it seems pretty obvious lately: go out and vote

Don't vote Republican. In the EU it's much less of an issue thankfully but still, vote for the right party and not the popular or nationalistic party.

Another brick in the walled garden of the Facebook internet of the future.

Now even kids below the age of 13 will have a Facebook account, setup by their parents who are already on Facebook anyway and enticed by exactly what they want to hear ("More Fun For Kids, More Control For Parents") thanks to the marketing team.

Your first 3 points are big deals but not unique anymore. The Vue webpack template comes with all that. Code splitting couldn't be easier, async/await out of the box and it stays backwards compatible up to IE9.

I'm sure React webpack templates have the same features but I don't have experience there.

Yea the "incorrect login" is a generic message now. The title isn't correct, I'll change it.

The blueprints section will get a graphical editor soon, very high on the priority list.

So if you invite users with the Editor role, they will edit content in the same interface but things like Blueprints are hidden for them. Target audience right now is developers but the future plan is to make it so that you start using Headless without any technical knowledge.

I've been using Gitlab free for all my personal projects and mostly I'm totally okay with this change. I was afraid of being forced to pay for some basic functionality in a year but honestly most bronze/silver features are for slightly bigger projects than personal.

Just one small thing: pretty much the only 2 features I use from the Bronze plan are Issue Weight (I can live without them) and Milestones. I would like to see Milestones in the Free plan because for me it is just a convenience to create more structure in my issues. I wouldn't pay for just that feature and the alternative is more labels which would have the same result but more messy.

Webpack does much more than just put all your stuff in 1 bundle. It minifies, it does code splitting (only load what you need, HTTP2 is even a benefit here), tree shaking (remove unsued CSS), it can change your import paths for your convienence and so much more.

Really it can do everything and that's why its so daunting for developers.

I can't live without hot module reloading anymore.. With my Vue projects (no idea if React does it like this too) I can update my code and it only reloads either CSS, JS or HTML and it completely maintains state. Textfields maintain their content while I edit their CSS, just great.

Wasn't long ago that auto reload on file change was a fancy feature...

Vue.js vs. React 9 years ago

NPM stats are not representative at all because for every big project there are tons of NPM downloads. For every branch, every deploy, every pull request. This grows exponentially.

Just like Github stars arent representative because only (active) Github users would add a star and when a project has critical mass, the amount of actual users will no longer correlate to the amount of stars.

Anyway, I don't think there is a good way to measure usage or popularity of these frameworks. Maybe Google Trends or stackoverflow tags? I don't know really.

I don't like this...

If I have a controversial opinion (hypothetical, unrelated to the current subject matter) and it gets removed from CDN's and if I then put that opinion in my self hosted blog and someone powerful decides to DDoS my little server (and consequent hosting attempts)... Am I then not effectively censored on the internet?

It's interesting in how many places (internet and real world) this is happening lately... Interesting but mostly just scary.

I'm sure Cloudflare meant well but this action should have been thought through more.

One of my issues with the Material Icons search is that you can't search for aliases, so I created this site and a few aliases for each icon.

Hopefully people will submit PR's to improve the quality of the aliases and maybe Google will merge the alias list with their own project at some point.

Let me know what you think or if you find any bugs! Thanks
