How to Read Candlestick Charts for Beginners
1.3.2021
The text below is an advertorial article that was not written by Cryptonews.com journalists.
When you begin trading for the first time, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the charts. Many things are going on at one time, all that provide valuable information to make a successful trade. Not knowing...
To the brain, reading computer code is not the same as reading language
22.2.2021
One of the things I do when teaching beginning front-end development is ask students to describe what it’s like to read HTML. I give them pretty basic markup for a long-form article, and ask them to read it twice: first …

Font-size: An Unexpectedly Complex CSS Property — From Manish Goregaokar in 2017. Of many oddities, I found the one where font: medium monospace renders at 13px where font: medium sans-serif renders at 16px particularly weird.

You Can Play A Classic Racing Game Right Now On Whatever You're Using To Read This
22.1.2021
Modern racing games owe so much to Sega’s Virtua Racing. Released to arcades in 1992, Virtua Racing wasn’t the first 3D polygonal racing game, though it was the first to really get it right, thanks to a blistering sense of speed and smooth, responsive 30 frame-per-second gameplay that outpaced...

Trump, COVID-19, massive money printing. Voorhees, Shrem, Wan, Carlson and others on bitcoin's big boom, and what's changed from 2017
clipPath vs. mask
27.12.2020
These things are so similar, I find it hard to keep them straight. This is a nice little explanation from viewBox (what a cool name and URL, I hope they keep it up).
The big thing is that clipPath (the element in SVG, as well as clip-path in CSS) is vector and when it is applied, whatever you...
A Utility Class for Covering Elements
26.12.2020
Big ol’ same to Michelle Barker here:
Here’s something I find myself needing to do again and again in CSS: completely covering one element with another. It’s the same CSS every time: the first element (the one that needs to be covered) has position: relative applied to it....
Responsible, Conditional Loading
25.12.2020
Over on the Polyplane blog (there’s no byline but presumably it’s Kilian Valkhof), there is a great article, Creating websites with prefers-reduced-data, about the prefers-reduced-data media query. No browser support yet, but eventually you can use it in CSS to make choices that reduce...
Integrating TypeScript with Svelte
24.12.2020
Svelte is one of the newer JavaScript frameworks and it’s rapidly rising in popularity. It’s a template-based framework, but one which allows for arbitrary JavaScript inside the template bindings; it has a superb reactivity story that’s simple, flexible and effective; and as an ahead-of-time (AOT)...
A Calendar in Three Lines of CSS
24.12.2020
This article has no byline and is on a website that is even more weirdly specific than this one is, but I appreciate the trick here. A seven-column grid makes for a calendar layout pretty quick. You can let the days (grid items) fall onto it naturally, except kick the first day over to the correct...
Custom Styles in GitHub Readme Files
23.12.2020
Even though GitHub Readme files (typically ./readme.md) are Markdown, and although Markdown supports HTML, you can’t put <style> or <script> tags init. (Well, you can, they just get stripped.) So you can’t apply custom styles there. Or can you?
You can use SVG as...
Continuous Performance Analysis with Lighthouse CI and GitHub Actions
23.12.2020
Lighthouse is a free and open-source tool for assessing your website’s performance, accessibility, progressive web app metrics, SEO, and more. The easiest way to use it is through the Chrome DevTools panel. Once you open the DevTools, you will see a “Lighthouse” tab. Clicking the “Generate report”...
“Yes or No?”
23.12.2020
Sara Soueidan digs into this HTML/UX situation. “Yes” or “no” is a boolean situation. A checkbox represents this: it’s either on or off (uh, mostly). But is a checkbox always the best UX? It depends, of course:
Use radio buttons if you expect the answer to be equally...
Edge Everything
22.12.2020
The series is a wrap my friends! Thanks for reading and a big special thanks to all the authors this year who shared something they have learned. Many authors really swung wide with thoughts about how we can be better and do better, which of course I really love.

Recognizing Constraints
22.12.2020
There’s a “C” word in web development that we don’t give enough attention to. No, I’m not talking about “continuous integration”, or even “CSS”. The “C” word I’m talking about is “constraints”. Understanding constraints is a vital part of building software that works the best it can in its targeted...
