Workaround... create a new transparent rect in the SVG with the same width, height, x & y as the clipPath's bounding box and call getBoundingClientRect() on that rect.
🤮
comment in response to
post
I my case, I can no longer use getBoundingClientRect() on a clipPath.
Of course, it does still have a bounding rect... I can see it via devtools (although it reports 0 for dimensions🤷). The browser knows where it is and its size, so why am I not allowed to know that?

Flashback to 2010 me running SCANPST.EXE for the 3rd time in a week because the CEO likes to use "quick shutdown" - "you know, push and hold the power button". No less than 25GB of PST file too.

Second side quest completed.
Every single felt tip pen in the cupboard, that's 200, now has the correct cap.
A friend, who's aware of my ADHD, walked by and was surprised I had the attention span for this. Time to explain to them about hyper focus.

To be fair, outside of the US perhaps, this is a bit of a non-story. Hardware increases still track way below inflation.
And $80 AAAs we're never not going to be a thing, on any platform.
Nintendo getting there first was a bit of a surprise though.

I kinda feel like Christmas movies should be allowed - makes it a lot easier.

Use an eager caching strategy instead of a lazy one.

Bums. Need to work out what kind mine is... It's not obvious!

+1 for Bambu. I have an A1 mini - amazing little machine. Quality and user experience is great and really easy to get started. It. Just. Works.
Friends rave about their larger Bambu machines too.

Quick shout-out to all those with autoimmune diseases, and anyone unfortunate enough to have had a serious autoimmune response to a vaccine✋

I did tape it down in the end. 🦺
Really I should have made up a longer cable but that needed a trip to the high store, and I hate ladders.

And we have internet 🙏🙌
Sure, there's a purple cable trailing through the middle of the worship space this morning, but purple is the correct liturgical colour for lent!

There's a diagram for this somewhere. Can I find it? No. Should I have labelled these when I installed them... yes.

The pot roast is an interesting point. There are totally people who feel that way about pot roasts. So how do we feel about BTC?
If this were, say, a sudden drop in blood oxygen of a few %, or increase in atmospheric CO2 of a few PPM we'd forgive truncating the Y-axis right?
comment in response to
post
Fair. Perhaps I should have said both contain the same story. One does a better job of telling it.
If you want an accurate representation of the data... use the data (this could have been a spreadsheet).
Even in terms of raw data per pixel though, the truncated axis does better.
comment in response to
post
Yes, but both of these graphs do tell the same story and what's important is the delta/pattern, so I think one can fairly argue that in context the truncated Y-axis makes sense.

This is still a thing. I know a few IBMers that work/have worked at IBM Hursley.

I've given a talk on Nullable Reference Types a few times now and I'm always surprised by how many devs aren't at all familiar with "required".

They do. It's based on n-layer architecture, which is OK, but I find it doesn't scale too well on larger web projects.
I like feature folders/slices, but devs used to older ways of doing it can struggle, so it's not a great fit for every team.
comment in response to
post
Slightly tangential advice: folders and namespaces are a solid way of separating concerns.
Many .NET Devs are too eager to split code into projects - turning a code organisation problem into a dependency problem.

Thanks! I try to inject a bit of madness... and deep existential questions.

10x faster... by not being JavaScript.
Anyone that's using JS at build time, or server-side, or any places that JS just isn't optimised for, should really take note of Anders' explanation of why Go is so much faster.

Feel your pain, been caught out like this before. Now keep connection strings in environment variables - only my prod web server knows my prod database connection string, as I can't be trusted with that knowledge 😅

I get this all the time with new site launches. Client sends over a list of 301s and invariably the bulk of them are sending removed pages to "/".
When I ask why they're not 404ing (with an enhanced 404 page for finding relevant content) I get told "for SEO". 🤷
comment in response to
post
Intentional 301? Your blog post from yesterday says:
"All those lovely links from other sites now lead to error pages. The authority they passed to your site evaporates into the digital ether."
Isn't this just a logical extension of that? Page gone on new site means redirect to "/"?

Haha, yeah - I had already done the obligatory single flip, was trying to make it a bit more impressive as my wife was sending it to the family WhatsApp group.

This may just become required watching for any future junior devs I hire.

Presumably, if for example, one's got a hotel booked and they'd rather spend that time smashing a full-English they can skip steps 1, 3 & 4 and just donate to the Alfie Nick foundation?
