CSS is flipping awesome though. It's so incredibly powerful and when well done, I find it to be downright elegant.

@slightlyoff fun fact: I used to work for the company who owned/created CanJS and was a professional CanJS dev at the time of React's rise lol

Additionally: I've mentioned this before, but I feel like folks who talk about web components need to find a really good way to make it clear that comparing a "traditional" JS framework site to a website that uses webcomponents the way I think they should be used (with minimal shadow dom usage, as opposed to just trying to replicate the render-everything-in-JS patterns), the size difference in what you actually ship and how much JS runs is WAY MORE MASSIVE than what this blog post makes it seem like.

How a JS framework does in the krausest benchmark is functionally immaterial. The most important quality is cold-start, uncached costs becuase that's the common case.

So smaller code, plus avoiding pathological structural errors (e.g., "CSS-in-JS" w/ a "runtime"), get you most of the story, most of the time.

To those who are unsure if they should share their art/interests/knowledge:

* YOUR voice is the one somebody else needs to hear.

* If YOU like what you're doing, somebody else will too.

* Even if you DON'T like what you're doing, somebody else probably still will. 😆

* No, not everyone has already read/heard/seen everything. YOURS will be the first for somebody.

(Above found in a notebook of mine, don't remember writing it. I think I meant to turn it into a web page? I'll do that too.)

This blog post remains super important because it's one of the few comparisons I've seen that talks about the main JS framework scaling limit: framework size + code per component

@fromjason I’ve always felt like the interplay between HTML and CSS is magic. The first time I wrote a thing in CSS and it shifted the appearance of my HTML, it kinda blew my mind.

(…I still think it’s at least *partially* magic…🙃)

LA Times: How ICE is using the LAPD to track down immigrants for deportation

"...Of particular concern, he said, is the LAPD’s handling of data collected from automated license plate readers, devices deployed around the city that track the movements of vehicles. Police officials have insisted that the information is not shared with ICE. But other local law enforcement agencies have flouted their own similar rules in the past, raising concerns that the LAPD may not keep its word...."

@fritzoids @jgrg I actually looked into this. There's a small community of people with private railcars. Most are leased out for excursions, but some are owned for personal use.

It's not THAT expensive to buy one - comparable to the cost of an RV. But the cost of moving it is fairly high, it requires a lot of planning, and you need a place to store it connected to the national rail system (which means either leasing space in a rail yard or owning a railroad siding).

Fun idea, but impractical.

The Waldorf-Astoria is perhaps New York's most prominent monument to jazz age luxury and glamor. It's been the traditional residence for US presidents and foreign heads of state when in town (the "presidential suite" was meant rather literally there).

Built over the below-grade railyard of Grand Central Terminal, the hotel was equipped with a private rail siding and platform where guests could park their personal railcars(!). (Andy Warhol once threw a party on the platform.)
