I'm a web developer. Of course my Christmas plans include rewriting my blog to a new framework 🎁 #WebDev #Astro

Writing HTML has to be the most Dunning-Kruger-effect-exposing field of software development. Y'all claim to know how to write HTML and put that skill on your CVs, and then you nest an <a> inside of a <button> or some other nonsense 🤷‍♀️. Finding a website with well-written, valid HTML in the wild is quite the challenge. #HTML #WebDev #A11y

Overall, I still feel like I'm too weak and progressing way too slowly. Am I not pushing myself hard enough? Am I a genetic anomaly? Or are my expectations skewed by watching exclusively male fitness influences whose job it is to be strong?

Negatives: I failed to be able to do a single full unassisted pull up this year, I can do like 80% of one. I blame the machine I train on because it doesn't have a full ROM. It ends with my forehead at the bar level, not my chin... I should switch to assisting with bands.
My overhead press progress is pathetic. It definitely suffered due to my focus on pull-ups and lower back pain issues, but still. One extra rep per year? Is it even worth doing?

I'm not sure if you're asking me to answer questions about the job in DMs or whether you're offering to answer my questions about Carol as a candidate for the job 😁 If you meant the first thing then yes, sure, I can try answering questions.

I just got a new passport and it has, on the front page with all the info, an emblem with the phrase "God, Honor, Fatherland" 🙄 which is the motto of the Polish military and thus beloved by the alt-right.
Exactly what I wanted on my personal document /s

I can be excited again 🥳. After reading more carefully, I found the right @support rule that makes clamping color lightness work in all browsers. Here's a quick blog post about it: https://angelika.me/2024/12/01/how-to-clamp-relative-color-lightness/
Isn't CSS just awesome? 🦄

Thanks for experimenting with me! Unfortunately your version does not work in Safari 😢
I guess Ubuntu vs macOS would explain the differences in how our Chrome installations behave 🤷‍♀️

Really? I'm on Chrome Version 131.0.6778.86 (Official Build) (arm64), on macOS. It doesn't work for me (attaching gif as proof). Do you have some experimental flags turned on? I'm really curious what would cause this difference between your and my Chrome installations 🤔

I got excited at the idea of calc/clamping color lightness in hsl() only to discover that there is no way to do it that will work in all browsers 😢.
Adding percentages works in Safari, doesn't work in FF and Chrome:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30%))
Adding numbers works in FF and Chrome, doesn't work in Safari:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30))
Here's a code pen: https://codepen.io/angelikatyborska/pen/MYgwJyv
Please somebody tell me that I'm wrong?

I wanted to write a blog post about how to define the line between dev dependencies and regular dependencies in a JavaScript app (not library). I did some research and thought I have a good idea for how to define dev dependencies. I told it to my husband, and he hit me with an alternative definition that I haven't even considered 🤣. Which only confirms my suspicion that as an industry, we also don't have a clear agreement on what dev dependencies are.

I don't care about all the AI innovation. I want more improvements in access to health care like this.

I freaking love TeleClinic so much. It has changed having a cold from a huge stress situation to a small nuisance.
When I have a cold, I no longer have to get up very early, visit 3 different doctor's before I find one that will accept me on a specific day, and then stand in line with 20 other people with infectious diseases, which is counter-productive for my recovery.
I can just sleep in, then sit on the sofa with a blanket waiting for a video call. And it also works on Sundays!

I could imagine myself doing it because:
1) dependent plans needed to clarify first
2) boss was slow approving education budget usage
3) increasing chances I won't be ill at that time (I had to resell my ticket because of illness before)

What I mean by that is, people don't question your skills, but they question your gender. Comments that "you should have been born a man", assuming no straight man would never want to date you, shocked expressions if you ever wear a dress, being given the doubtful "privilege" of listening to their sexist jokes (because they're not about _you_) and so on 2/2

I know that a lot of women in tech have to deal with assumptions that they're less qualified, less skilled, less technical just because they're women. Are there women here that experience the other side of the same coin: being denied your femininity because you're qualified, skilled, and technical? 1/2

To be fair, I'm mosty aware of Poland's laws because I used to run a board game rental at events and we had to set up a compliant accountability system (write down the borrower's info, do not keep their documents as deposit)

2024-09-03 06:51:23 UTC

I find Germany's disregard for personal document safety INSANE. In my time in Berlin, I had to leave as deposit the following items:
- an ID to rent a tiny boat
- a set of keys to rent a key to a gym locker at a squash place (they also asked for my home address)
- any personal document to order drinks at a bar on a tab instead of paying immediately
In all those cases, I didn't. But one of my friends did.
This shit is ILLEGAL in Poland because it can get you your identity stolen #InfoSec
