I only do webdev occasionally and yeah, I’ve noticed this tendency that I want to put everything in a CSS grid. At this point, I’m worried I end up with a layout that’s about as responsive as the early-2000s table layouts. 🙃
Yeah, I’ve done responsive grids before. Problem is, I’m currently working on a single-page web music player and it’s so easy to just nail all the UI elements down. Like I might want to have the play button always appear to the left of the playback bar. But that obviously can’t reflow naturally on smaller screens. Although reflowing that example won’t look good either.
I guess, I’m still figuring out, if I ever actually want things to reflow. I might just need to define static rules, so that on a small screen, the play button should appear in a different grid cell, next to the previous/next buttons, for example…
Kinda a shit take. Canonical is very generous with licensing. They give you 5 free personal licenses per account AND they license per physical host which is practically unheard of now. Like everything is per VM or container or CPUs or sockets etc now. One pro license on an ESXi host could have hundreds of VMs and Canonical is OK with that.
Source: I work with and use ubuntu pro. Canonical’s alright in my book. More than I can say for the RHEL team
I agree with you! Canonical’s licensing is the best in the business. I like and use Ubuntu pro at work and use it with my homelab. I just don’t love the ads in the terminal.
Eh, while Markdown is nice I think Dokuwiki’s syntax is infinitively better for any kind of text that ends up involving programming code. It also has a header syntax that makes sense, albeit rather cumbersome. And it also makes a proper distinction between italics and underline which are two different, standard typographical effects and not the same thing as Markdown seems to believe; and between ordered and unordered lists (let alone nested lists).
Just about the only bad thing is I haven’t been able to find an editor that supports it. Probably because, to my knowledge, no self-standing / independent renderer exists for it (the parser and renderer seem to be tightly integrated into the content manager).
Markdown is good. I use it when working in the company since the format is ubiquitous. I do writing my blog posts with Markdown (Hugo for the curious).
But personally, or working with a bit more niche team, for writing personal documentation I prefer Asciidoc [0]. It has better syntax and have some nice functionalities like Table of Contents.
For personal notes, nothing can surpass Org Mode [1].
