The Anatomy of a Tablist Component in Vanilla JavaScript Versus React
5.5.2020
If you follow the undercurrent of the JavaScript community, there seems to be a divide as of late. It goes back over a decade. Really, this sort of strife has always been. Perhaps it is human nature.
Whenever a popular framework gains traction, you inevitably see people comparing it to rivals....
Currying in CSS
6.3.2020
Funny timing on this I was just looking at the website for Utopia (which is a responsive type project which I hate to admit I don't fully understand) and I came across some CSS they show off that looked like this:
:root {
--fluid-max-negative: (1 / var(--fluid-max-ratio)...
Peter Schiff Forgets Bitcoin Wallet Password, Blames Bitcoin
19.1.2020
Peter Schiff hates Bitcoin almost as much as bitcoiners hate Schiff. The gold bug makes a point of dissing the cryptocurrency whenever he can, despite the hypocrisy of accepting BCT on his own website. Today, the eccentric entrepreneur found a new reason to rip on bitcoin after forgetting...

iOS 13 Broke the Classic Pure CSS Parallax Technique
27.11.2019
I know. You hate parallax. You know what we should hate more? When things that used to work on the web stop working without any clear warning or idea why.
Way back in 2014, Keith Clark blogged an exceptionally clever CSS trick where you essentially use a CSS transform to scale an element down...
The New Good Ol’ Days
22.11.2019
Eighteen years into this game, I love to reminisce back to the good ol’ days of the early to mid-2000s when there was an explosion of creativity on the web. It felt fresh and unbridled, with boundaries expected to be pushed at every turn, and they were. This was mainly down to one thing, the thing...

11.11.2019
Internetové společnosti a sociální sítě v posledních letech vyvinuly systémy, které dokážou s poměrně solidní úspěšností detekovat nesnášenlivý obsah (hate speech) a proaktivně jej odstraňovat jak z Facebooku, tak z Twitteru a dalších platforem.

Hamburger Menu with a Side of React Hooks and Styled Components
10.9.2019
We all know what a hamburger menu is, right? When the pattern started making its way into web designs, it was both mocked and applauded for its minimalism that allows main menus to be tucked off screen, particularly on mobile where every pixel of space counts.

The Differing Perspectives on CSS-in-JS
14.8.2019
Some people outright hate the idea of CSS-in-JS. Just that name is offensive. Hard no. Styling doesn't belong in CSS, it belongs in CSS, a thing that already exists and that browsers are optimized to use. Separation of concerns. Anything else is a laughable misstep, a sign of not learning from...
Competing Stablecoins Can’t Topple Tether
6.7.2019
Love, hate or fear it, there’s no avoiding tether (USDT). Its shadow looms over the cryptoconomy, supplying sanctuary in times of volatility, providing fiat capital inflow and acting as a lightning rod for crypto critics who believe it’s propping up the price of bitcoin. Over the past...
8 Irate Quotes From Officials Who Hate Facebook’s Digital Currency
27.6.2019
The best thing about Facebook’s proposed digital currency isn’t its BTF consensus algorithm, account-based data model or single Merkle tree structure. No, the greatest thing about Libra has to be the triggered reactions from politicians and bankers who can sense the rug being pulled...

11.4.2019
Google na YouTube vysílal výpověď poradkyně firmy Alexandie Waldenové před americkým Kongresem na téma nenávisti na internetu. U videa nechyběla diskuze, kterou však velice rychle zaplavily silně nenávistné komentáře. Bylo jich tolik, že ji Google nakonec raději vypnul.

I Don’t Hate Arrow Functions
19.3.2019
TL;DR Arrow functions are fine for certain usages, but they have so many variations that they need to be carefully controlled to not break down the readability of the code. While arrow functions clearly have a ubiquitous community consensus (though not unanimous support!), it turns...
Who is @horse_js?
22.1.2019
Many of us follow @horse_js on Twitter. Twenty-one thousand of us, to be exact. That horse loves stirring up mischief by taking people's statements out of context. It happened to me a few times and almost got me in trouble.
I wonder how many people hate CSS because their experience with...
Gradient Borders in CSS
28.12.2018
Let's say you need a gradient border around an element. My mind goes like this:
There is no simple obvious CSS API for this.
I'll just make a wrapper element with a linear-gradient background, then an inner element will block out most of that background, except a thin line of padding around...
