Celá naše generace je pro dnešní IT zbytečná. Co na tom, čím vším jsme si prošli a co jsme se kdysi metodou pokus-omyl naučili: prostě to, že kliknout na levou půlku ikonky znamená něco jiného, než kliknout na pravou půlku ikonky, to je nový kousek, který se jako staří psi už nenaučíme...

I avoided React for years, then TypeScript's siren song (and deadlines) pulled me in. Turns out React's ecosystem has actually evolved.

Zustand and Immer deliver what Redux promised: state management that stays out of your way. No more class component archaeology: just clean, functional flows.

How pathetic are the #DUP #TUV and their tame troll 🚮? It seems to have escaped their attention that they live in IRELAND, and this is our national language; it’s legal, it’s used in Courts, in Stormont; has been used by our MPs in House of Commons, and by various members of the royal family on State visits to Ireland - north and south.
No one is holding their heads in a fixed position or forcing them to read anything in Irish. All the signage will also be available in English, for those who cannot tell the difference between Beal Feriste and Belfast.
🚮 aka Jamie Bryson is trying to lodge legal objection against Irish Language signage with the courts.
We have so many problems, not least the reduction in PIPs and other benefits, the negative effects of the new ETA, the problems being caused by the American administration worldwide; and this kind of bigotry is what gets them up in the morning. Sigh

Setting Vivaldi to "Use Native Window" (which requires a restart) gives the Settings dialog edges again 👍 , but the menu doesn't have edges. White on white.

Which is weird, and bad UI, but at least it's not something you need to grab to resize.

Hey "UX" designers; stop removing UI components that "clutter" the design or "waste space", they're there for a reason.

For example, here's Vivaldi's settings dialog. It's resizable if you grab the ~1 pixel at the edge. WHERE IS THE EDGE?

Remember when we had human interface guidelines, before mobile design made everything worse? Good times.

Dear Linux Developers,

For the love of whatever god, gods, or nothingness you believe in, stop making all your UI's grey text on grey backgrounds separated by grey lines. Please give me some contrast: blacks, whites, actual colours.

Thank you.

It took me an unbelievable amount of effort to get a gradient on screen. So, the way to do it (after much research and growling) is to make a gradient resource, then use that item as the texture in a StyleBoxTexture resource, basically the same concept as a CSS border-image. But I didn't need the slices. AND THEN apply that to a button.

I am annoyed by fake progress bars.

I do not ever want to see a progress bar rapidly advance to 90% and then slow to a crawl unless the operation really has progressed and then slowed to a crawl.

If you do not know how much of the operation has been completed and how much remains, then show something other than a f**king progress bar. 🤬

And yes, #Mastodon image viewer, I'm talking about you. 🫵

That is all. Carry on.
