@kvlly Damn. In Europe, raising a kid till 18 costs ~150k €

I can buy so many Porsches with this money

Quick CSS tip: if you want to select the nth element with a certain class, `:nth-child` supports an `of` syntax. 👏

@wesbos A lot of legwork has already been done by @html5test and he recently wrote a nice 101 for working with thermal printers. nielsleenheer.com/articles/2024/…

tbh If you haven’t coded a receipt printer by EOY you are falling behind

@rikschennink I always confuse CSS custom properties. The "variables" just seem to be a part of the syntax. @.property is also part of the syntax but perhaps not yet supported in your way everywhere? Oh. I now see that mdn docs say it's new as of this month... Like I said. Confused.

I've been trying to transition a CSS animation. I got it to work with CSS custom properties… But it only works in Chrome. So the --o property is used for the background-color opacity and transitions from 0 to 1 over six seconds while the pulse animation plays. This should result in the pulse becoming slowly more opaque over the duration of 6 seconds. This works in Chrome, doesn't work in Firefox, or Safari, but they all support CSS Custom properties. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? 🤔 Test case: pqina.nl/blog/css-custo…

@kilianvalkhof I bet they were busy writing stuff down.

In May I spoke about understanding CSS layout at a conf and the response seemed to be a bit muted, so I assumed I didn't do a good job delivering it. Today I got the collected feedback. "Hands down most informative and applicable talk of the day. (5*)" Never assume!

@_edlaver Proper victory. Good luck on Sunday 🤞

@kinngh That looks like some Tony Stark stuff 😎

The most insane thing is people being surprised when RR announces energy gen products. They do more than cars, y'know?

I don't care that much about football but it would sure be fun to be part of this party. This looks very "gezellig" as we Dutch would say.

...what episode of FRIENDS is this?

@DebMecca Book smell 📖

Tell me a better smell than laundry detergent. I'll wait...

@mijustin I always wonder if people in outfits, like the skull outfit, smile for the picture out of habit or know you can see it and simply don't bother. Just silly thoughts.

Oh, this might just be the thing! I can easily miss meetings or show up late when I'm focussed on work. This might bring it more into view.

@DebMecca I wouldn't really be able to watch the cleaning happen as I wouldn't have my glasses on 😅 There was a while where this product was constantly in the ads of my social feed. amazon.com/Ultrasonic-Por…

@PaulvdDool I was picturing it more like when you go to Target with 2 floors or Whole Foods and your cart goes down the conveyor belt escalator thingy while you go down the people escalator. So you're separated but you're watching the cleaning happen.

New product idea: A "car wash" style situation for cleaning eye glasses.

The hard parts of software are what come next. when you scope, integrate, scale, upgrade, instrument... when you extend it, understand it, and maintain it. Over the entirety of its lifetime. Generative AI isn't making this easier. If anything, it's making the real work harder.

@craigcooperxyz Keep it until the flyers show up with a number to call. Simple.

How would you fine an owner of a cat without a microchip? How would you know whose cat it was?

@DebMecca I had a good laugh on a response video for this where a statistics geek calculated her chances of finding such a match. Can't find the video anymore though 🫤 One advice was to expand the search to the Netherlands, as with an average of 6ft we have the tallest men 😅

I'm kind of bummed I decided not to go to #CSSDay this year. Last year I got to see so many people I follow and admire in the webdev world and this year there are a bunch of other presenters that I've been following and learning from for years.
