It is basically http://mail.office365.com in an electron shell. I’m pretty sure all the non ‘classic’ apps are this way now. I’m currently trying out Thunderbird to see if I like it.

I use vim-fugitive now for most basic operations, and fall back to CLI.

Yeah it’s a loading time optimisation thing. Still, usually you would have a click to full-size function if showing details is important

Screenshots are scaled based on your device, try ‘Desktop Site’ if you are using a phone.

Try not to look too much at what the default browser styles are, just think purpose.

• Nav items are ultimately a list of links for other pages.
• a list of tags for an item matches intent.
• Form inputs: IDK, list items feels like stretching the meaning (eg https://v1.tailwindcss.com/components/forms#form-grid)
• Sections: why not just <section>1...</section><section>2...</section><section>3...</section>

Maybe your coworker possibly suffers from list-itis, after tying too hard to prevent div-itis?
What do you mean about littered with css? Do you have a default reset style, or a simple util class to remove these? Or is your html littered with style=“” everywhere?

I would refer to MDN documents on whatever features you are attempting. eg:

• Navigation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/nav
• Forms: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form

The general term you are looking for is ‘Semantic HTML’ i.e. the tags convey their purpose/meaning.

Not sure recently, had the same issue and busted 2 deathadders within 12 months of purchase. The clicker had a little stem to push the switch which cracked off. Ended up getting a zowie next and haven’t had any issues.

Sure, ultimately I dismissed it at the time as a fancy iPod and chose a Nokia.

At the time iPhone 1 didn’t seem like anything smarter than an iPod that could take calls. I was hyped over the Nokia 770 and eager to see what else would come out with Meamo OS. It took till mid 2008 until iPhone 3G and iOS 2 (and app store) were released.

While having a quick look through old news:

From June 2021 (v0.16) (https://gleam.run/news/v0.16-gleam-compiles-to-javascript/#how-does-it-work)

Much like the Erlang compiler backend this new JavaScript backend outputs human readable and pretty printed source code. It is now included with the compiler and does not require any extra components to be installed to use it.
Rather than attempting to replicate a subset of Erlang’s actor model Gleam uses the standard promise based concurrency model when targeting JavaScript. While this may be disappointing for some, it means that there is no additional runtime code added. This keeps bundle size small and makes it so code written in Gleam can be called like normal from languages such as JavaScript and TypeScript.

Jan 2024 v0.34 (https://gleam.run/news/v0.34-multi-target-projects/#multi-target-projects) mentions some additional work done to enable multi target projects such as Lustre

Atom did bring about tree-sitter at least.

From https://zed.dev/blog/we-have-to-start-over

We got to a certain point with Atom. It was 2017 when we’d shipped Teletype and it felt like, okay, it’s no longer our own ignorance holding us back, it really is like the platform holding us back at this point.

…

the ironic thing is that we created Electron to create Atom, but I can’t imagine a worse application for Electron than a code editor, I don’t know.

re-implementation of existing global scale C# based services to Rust.

Rusty azure serverless functions?

I have a lot of repetition in my job (CAD modeller). Even just knowing keyboard shortcuts & setting up shortcuts for frequently used operations can easily net me 5 seconds per operation. I want to spend my energy on solving the task at hand, not on how to use the tool in the moment. I don’t want to move the mouse away from the work area if I can help it.

Maybe not as frequent 5 per day - but scripts for really bottom of the barrel stuff:

• Cycle thru all currently open drawing documents, zoom to full page and force save.
  • zoom out ensures drawing can be identified from document thumbnail.
  • the software is known to crash, especially editing drawings.
  • easy 10mins duplicated work saved.
• Printing all open drawings out to the office printer in order with a delay between them, so i don’t spend the next 20 minutes manually sorting the drawing prints.
  • printers don’t always print in incoming order, some documents take longer to process.
• find/replace for text notes
  • the software doesn’t have that feature.

I’ll do it for things that don’t seem like it will save much, but because it was such an infrequent task I would forget how all the cogs worked when it needed to be done again, and what pitfalls to avoid. So it’s not just direct time saved, but also increasing reliability.
