1/ In case this helps someone else...we have a member management form where admins can edit user accounts. Users don't have an ID/login by default but it can be set there. The user ID was being populated by Chrome's form autofill and setting autocomplete="off" did nothing. #javascript #webdev

You can tell a lot about what's going on in an area by what's for sale at the area swap/flea market. Today's standouts: chickens, goats, fruit, veggies, plants, fishing gear, and rifles. So many rifles. No shot/hand guns, just rifles. Hmmmm.

Simple game of blackjack I wrote over a week for grins and self-improvement. Play for fun! Suggest another simple game for me to hammer out for my own amusement! www.atomicmonks.com/games/blackj... #gamedev #javascript #indie

Controversial developer opinion of the day: Using the [title] attribute for tooltips is OK. Just be sure to also use aria- label/description/something as appropriate. Tooltips done this way will render visibly, regardless of window/frame size/position. Even outside the browser itself.

Wasn't going to watch the presidential address tonight, but happened to flip over to the stream. He spit out a lie before I could even finish an idle thought wondering when he would. Less than 5 seconds. Welp, that's enough of that for me tonight.

The worst part of the gestapo dragging off that woman in Idaho wasn't that they were there, it was that in a room packed with people there was not a single one willing to stand up and say "no".

Why did nobody tell me that in Vue you can hook up a change event to a div to capture any form input changes on in the inside? Or was this a thing I was dumb for not knowing all these years?

For decades people made fun of me for making Treasury send me physical checks instead of direct deposit. Said I sounded like a conspiracy theorist that I didn't want to just hand over my account numbers. Really, I was more concerned about a data breach than an invasion, but they're not laughing now.

All these posts from people who find Linux difficult to use are strange to me. Transitioning to Linux from Windows has been easy for me, and I only have 40 years of experience writing and debugging software. If I can do it, anyone can do it. :D

Built a beast of a new PC to replace my W10 box from 2015, put Mint on it. So of course I'm playing a game from 2011 on it and enjoying more FPS than I need. (care to guess the game?) #gaming #linux

If you've been enjoying my simple BlackJack game (www.atomicmonks.com/games/blackj...), I made a couple of updates today. Fixed the style of the cards to make Linux browsers happy, and fixed a couple of blackjack (ace + face) bugs. Enjoy!

Ran into an issue, JavaScript wasn't running on a page after doing history.back. Reading that it should restore the memory state rather than load and run. But it only did that in Chrome on SOME devices. What the what?

Built a new PC, put Linux on it. Shockingly, it worked perfectly from the first power-up. Usually something (oops, wrong DIMM slots, loose cable, etc.). Makes me wonder when the shoe will drop.

Does sessionStorage not persist on localhost? I can set and read it, but reload the page and it's gone. Everything I'm reading says it should work, but it disappears on reload (FF and Chrome)

Made a simple Blackjack game to play with some web stuff I don't get to use much in my day job. Free to play, no login, etc. Enjoy and feel free to pass around. And let me know if you find a bug! www.atomicmonks.com/games/blackj... #gamedev #webdev #javascript

Just fixed a performance issue on my PC that's been nagging me for years. Have both the on-board Intel GPU and dedicated GPU. Each display got its own card. On a whim, switched to both on the same GPU. DWM resource usage dropped like a stone and stayed there. Bad Windows compositor!
