What about #CSS and #HomomorphicEncryption can they not save the day?
My responsive HTML diffing tool, wsdiff now folds blocks of unchanged lines and it now has a dark mode! Here's a demo, try changing your OS dark mode and try re-sizing the window!

I criticize web devs for making really bone-headed decisions on web sites, and they do, but maybe I need to cut them some slack if they're as confused and exhausted as I am from the battle to get their code displayed the way they intended.
I use CSS to set the max-width of a <td> to 100px and the browser's developer tools tells me there are no other overriding styles yet the computed size is 101.890625px. ChatGPT's suggestions don't help. Is there a sacrifice I need to make to the #CSS gods?
There's my bug report: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/10203
Turns out that when #CSS or #JavaScript syntax gets more and more complicated, minifiers have a hard time keeping up to date. What a surprise!
Just uninstall your minifiers. Remember: removing the source of a problem is always more efficient than building a solution
I love debugging #CSS minifiers actually
Hot take: minifying source code (be that #CSS or #JavaScript) is obsolete bullshit anyway. GZIP (or whatever) on the server is enough and saves you a bunch of dependencies. And could have saved my afternoon.

It's a little bit nerdy and a little bit of a game: can you find all the CSS trigonometry functions hidden in the comic? Solution on the blog https://comicss.art/blog/#tanning-solutions
7.css - 模擬 Windows 7 UI 的 CSS 框架
➤ 重現經典 Windows 7 風格
✤ https://khang-nd.github.io/7.css/
7.css 是一個 CSS 框架,旨在構建外觀類似於 Windows 7 的使用者介面元件。它基於 XP.css 的 GUI 基礎架構,而 XP.css 又是 98.css 的擴展。此框架強調使用語意化的 HTML,並允許使用者覆蓋樣式以滿足需求。它不包含任何 JavaScript,僅通過 CSS 對 HTML 進行樣式化,因此與任何前端框架兼容。同時,也提供了作用域樣式和樹狀抖動等功能,以提高靈活性和效率。
+ 這真是個好主意,很多時候我需要重現老舊的界面,這簡化了我的工作。
+ 不使用 JavaScript 真的太棒了,可以避免很多潛在的問題。

Exercising a bit of early-2000s #web design freedom by whipping up a little page to invite friends to play my new #pinball machine when it finally arrives. It's fun not using even the simplest build step and just manually writing #HTML and #css
I can see where things would get cumbersome if I were trying to maintain consistency across many pages, but having no build tools to wrestle with is a joy.

I continue to push what's possible with native HTML/CSS and PWA's in general. I think JavaScript (especially React) and Tailwind (more here: https://colton.dev/blog/tailwind-is-the-worst-of-all-worlds) have made for a terrible developer experience and want to get as far away from this as possible (plus, let's reduce the bloat and improve page performance).
Responsive video also fits in this mindset (let's get away from Google!) and like that more people are writing about this: https://www.kooslooijesteijn.net/blog/responsive-video-easy
