Dock Life: Using Docker for All The Things!

Attack on Titan Gets Freaky-Looking Trash And Recycling Bins
14.9.2021
In Attack on Titan, the human-eating Titans are horrifying and freaky. So naturally, when an official Titan trash and recycling bins were introduced in Japan, they also look unsettling—even more so when placed next to Coca-Cola vending machines. As part of an effort to promote recycling and good...

Full Bleed
15.10.2020
We’ve covered techniques before for when you want a full-width element within a constrained-width column, like an edge-to-edge image within a narrower column of text. There are loads of techniques.
Perhaps my favorite is this little utility class:
.full-width {
width: 100vw;
position:...
A Gentle Introduction to Using a Docker Container as a Dev Environment
24.9.2020
Sarcasm disclaimer: This article is mostly sarcasm. I do not think that I actually speak for Dylan Thomas and I would never encourage you to foist a light theme on people who don’t want it. No matter how wrong they may be.
When Dylan Thomas penned the words, “Do not go gentle into that good...

Here are the advantages of Docker for me:

CSS Viewport Units
26.3.2020
Deep dive from Ahmad. I like the coverage of vmin and vmax, which I think I don't reach for as often as I should.
I'm thinking that if you are doing something highly directional (e.g. a full bleed trick), then directly using vw is necessary. On the other hand, if you're doing a calculation where...
Careful with Nested `display: grid; height: 100%;`
11.3.2020
It's not every day you can feel CSS be slow at something. Reddit user jgbbrd discovered nesting grid containers that all have 100% height can cause many-seconds of rendering delay. Probably not something you'll ever have to worry about, but still, interesting. From the comments:

Full-Width Elements By Using Edge-to-Edge Grid
7.2.2020
If you have a limited-width container, say a centered column of text, "breaking out" of that to make a full-width element involves trickery.

Domain-Driven Design With React
16.12.2019
There is very little guidance on how to organize front-end applications in the world of React. (Just move files around until it “feels right,” lol). The truth is that we can do better. Let’s take a look at one pattern you might consider using to architect your site.
