So I should re #introduce myself; used to host my own instance at artemai when that was a thing; decided to get back on Mastodon again because the rest of social is a dumpsterfire.
I'm a #UNIX sysadm originally (from the late 90s) but started using #Linux 
I'm a #coder, #python 
Ten years ago I landed in #liveevents and #visionswitch / 
I'm a #ham 
I used to officiate 
I'm #queer 
New Kitten release
• Now leaves <style> tags within <template> tags alone when collating and normalising the CSS on a page so as not to interfere with scoped styles in declarative shadow DOM.
(Kitten’s Streaming HTML workflow¹ – which uses htmx and WebSockets under the hood – combined with built-in support for slots, etc., in Kitten components² means the use of declarative shadow DOM is mostly useful if you want scoped styles. Ideally, of course, use classes to scope styles to your components and be specific in your CSS selectors in general so as not to pollute elements in your components. Although that’s a bit like saying you should floss everyday. Yeah, we all know we should…) :)
Update: All that said, I’d highly recommend you don’t use Shadow DOM in your Kitten apps. For one thing, htmx’s WebSocket extension doesn’t seem to play well with it. And for another, you really don’t need it and definitely not just to get scoped CSS.
Enjoy!

New Kitten release
• Socket routes now have precendence in the router.
This stops wildcard page routes from capturing the default socket routes that Kitten creates to enable the Streaming HTML workflow.
e.g., Previously, the following route:
/videos/index_[slug].page.js
Could not connect to its default socket (/videos/default.socket) because default.socket would be captured by the [slug] parameter.
Now, it will work as intended as the /videos/default.socket (a socket route) has precendence over index_[slug].page.js (a page route).

Enjoy!
Also, inspired by this post by @rauschma I made the Navigation menu toggle in mobile/narrow viewports work without JS. Neat!
https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma/114099045695366948
However to make it more accessible I set aria-expanded to true or false, which you can't do with CSS. So I had to use JS for that. So JS is a requirement for accessibility apparently.
this is it, folks! we are in the final week before submissions are due for GOOD INTERNET, a new print periodical magazine about all the things that make the #web fun: things like the #smallweb, the fediverse, the #indieweb, and efforts to actively fight #enshittification. submissions are open until MARCH 15.
check the submission guidelines or sign up for email alerts to be notified when we publish in may!

if this is your first time hearing about this, you still have enough time to come up with and write an article or complete a digital #art piece, if you're passionate about the #internet and want to write about it! :) bloggers, it's your time to shine!~
i can't wait to show y'all the incredible stories that have been submitted from all over the 'net, and some of the coolest art i've seen about the web!
thank you to everyone who's been so supportive of this project already. this is why this side of the internet is amazing.
thank you!

the idea for this #JS library came from the experience of learning javascript by way of D3js, the well-known data visualization library by Bostock. When D3 came out, it triggered an incredible upswell of interest in the science and the art of data visualization, which (similarly to music) is one of the aspects of science that bridges the rational/creative or left/right brain kinds of divides. the reason i built Vizflow was because of the failure of a previous effort!
After a 2-year conference sabbatical, I'm back on the speaker circuit! First stop: #ConFoo in Montreal.
This year’s talks cover and include #WASM, #extism, #NativePHP, #FrankenPHP, #Golang, #PHP, #JS ... and a few surprises.

See you tomorrow!
¿Estás buscando el mejor entorno de ejecución para tu #backend en #JavaScript? En este video, comparo #Bun y #Nodejs , dos de las opciones más populares para #desarrollo backend.
Anybody on #TC39 want to champion an ECMAScript proposal? Before I write a whole explainer document I’d like to make sure it isn’t wasted effort.
In short: Symbol.call, a well-known symbol, which can be used as a method name to make an object callable. Prior art: #Ruby’s call(), E’s run (), C++’s operator(). Allows your class’s instance to act as a Functor Object, and eases use of Method Object pattern. Gives us a way to make callables have their own “this.”
 {
return z * this.#product
}
get #product() {
return this.x * this.y
}
}
const ten = new Frobnicator(2, 5)
console.log(ten(3), "thirty")](https://cdn.masto.host/rubysocial/media_attachments/files/113/984/188/650/962/367/original/0479340a44a8389d.jpeg "class Frobnicator {
constructor(x, y) {
this.x = x
this.y = y

[Symbol.call](z) {
return z * this.#product

console.log(ten(3), \"thirty\")")
All languages have life cycles. Hell, some even go dormant and become popular — or unexpectedly critical – again.
What would qualities would a language need to have to eventually threaten Python's dominance? My fear is any innovative ideas will just get absorbed. Yes, I realize much of #Python's muscle is marketing by big industry players.
Am I crazy for pushing back on "#JS #SPA frontend by default"?
For 2 years I have been working for the French public service on a business logic app, mostly lists and forms with neat UX.
The tech is boring. PHP, Symfony, Twig templates. Treat: Turbo, Stimulus, custom elements, for those required bits of interactivity.
Hell it works. It's fast. It doesn't break. Been updating deps monthly w/o breaking changes. Never had to rewrite!
Am I crazy, or are we fooled by the JS industrial complex?
Little shoutout to #freesewing !
Freesewing is a crazy bonkers amazing open source project that lets people create patterns and clothes based on their measurements and preferences.
It is very cool to use, and the code behind is just as impressive !
It's super inclusive and free, I encourage anyone remotely curious to check it out !
It's already available in @firefoxnightly behind the `javascript.options.experimental.temporal` pref in about:config.

I completely resonate with what @csswizardry is saying in his post about building on the web for the long run:
“If you’re going to build for the web, build _on_ the web and build _with_ the web.
If I was only able to give one bit of advice to any company: iterate quickly on a slow-moving platform.”

Reintro!
I'm Dylan, a #fullstack #webdev from the Midwest, US. I like working with #js and #svelte so much that I wrote a book about #sveltekit! I've also worked extensively with #php and #WordPress but try to avoid the latter if I can.
I spend my days in the terminals of various #Linux machines and tweaking my #Vim config. I automate my #homelab with #ansible. I write about web dev on my #blog.
I enjoy #pcgaming and will occasionally #shitpost and boost #memes so brace yourself.
@freeplay@wetdry.worldmake every touchpad user happy by making any horizontally scrolling content/images an overflow-x: scroll/auto and then adding the JS on top of that 
( please 
)
what is the best way to start of with #gamedev ? #programming #js #lua #lisp
Did you know that checking if end users want animations or not in your app is a JS one liner?
#accessibility #JS
I'm James, I've only recently started using Mastodon. Mainly after #cohost shut down.
I love #music. I play guitar and sing, solo and in a band. I live in the #bluemountains in Australia.
I'm also a software dev who's pretty active in the #JS ecosystem. I love #postgres and #duckdb I used to be more active in #fp spaces but not so much now.
Completely as a hobby I'm interested in #gamedev / #gamedesign
I'm fairly #left leaning but I don't get too political online.
The more i read and experience client side frameworks, the more I agree with the idea that we should move back to server side rendering as much as possible.
Use JS for progressive enhancement as much as possible, but make the rendered web page as dumb as possible.
