I'm not sure about your location, but around here (Austria) it is indeed much more common to have electrical wiring that runs through the ground than above air. The only place where you see wiring above ground is usually out in the rural areas.

<template> tags are so incredibly useful for keeping your JS clean when you're not able to have something more reactive around for some reason.

I've recently used that on an interview project I did (https://github.com/pretzelhands/ubiquitous-sniffle) and it surprisingly takes you quite far with very little effort.

The only major annoyance is really manually keeping track of the elements in the DOM and .innerText and .innerHTML-ing everything that needs a dynamic value. But it's manageable if you keep it confined.

Seems like PHP does something reasonably right for once!

    $ php hello.php > /dev/full
    $ echo $?
    255
It doesn't exactly print an error, but at least it returns something non-zero.

I have landed on the TALL stack for building my homespun apps with minimum faffing around.

Especially with the components feature offered by Laravel’s Blade it usually takes a while before I really start reaching for JS.

And boy oh boy do they try their best to keep the winter revenue alive. Everybody in Europe probably remembers the joy of Ischgl.

Not quite, smallpox vaccination was first enforced in 1939 (I know..) and then again post-WW2 in 1948. We do have a precendent!

As an Austrian I'd like to note: We've also previously had a vaccination mandate for smallpox. There's a precedent here, at least.

Whether you're for or against a vaccination mandate I leave up to debate. But either we get everyone vaccinated or everyone needs to actually follow proper COVID rules. The second option hasn't worked out great so far, as you might be able to tell.

Oh hey! I remember building my own app on top of tiptap last year and having a blast with it!

Glad to see that it got a polished new update! I’ll definitely have to look into it. Good job, guys!

They're not the prettiest sight, yes, but I think anyone who isn't in some way a geek particularly cares about what's actually in URLs.

There's a reason why Apple got away with only showing the hostname of a URL: It doesn't matter to ordinary people. :)

Just for fun I checked where that position would be on world map. Turns out it's in the Atlantic, quite a bit off the east coast of the US.
