#bootstrap

1 post1 participant1 post today

I've been planning to spin up a small personal website. I knew I didn't need a full-blown CMS for this and, since I have so much experience using Bootstrap through my day job, decided to use it to build a site from scratch. It's been a while since I created a site from scratch—most of my experience lately involves taking on existing Enterprise sites and caretaking from there—but I was looking forward to both the challenge and the freedom of building my own.

But trees never get it all, why, as soon as there is conflict in the #bootstrap pseudoreplicates we used to establish branch (!!!, not "node", like many still write) support, I like to sum them up as a #ConsensusNetwork

Which, in this case, has the typical form one can expect in the face of fast ancient radiation. Eases the decision making about which clade should be numbered as a main one.

"Running infrastructure for yourself is hard...

Running infrastructure for others is exponentially harder."

Continued... (hashtags added for #keywords)

"As any forum moderator or administrator can attest, the sheer volume of #spam, #abuse, and just generally #trash #behavior can wear down even the most seasoned veterans of the .com era.

And that’s if we’re talking about #communities that #host tens of thousands of users. Scale that to a few million and there won’t be enough hours in the day to either keep the servers running (stuff is costly too) or to monitor the content for anything potentially harmful or inappropriate.

For anyone that wants to start a #community, it’s a no-brainer that they should probably start somewhere where they can “#outsource” the hard things, like moderation and infrastructure, to someone who is an expert and has built-in mechanisms to handle everything in-house. Especially when the funds for this are at or around zero dollars. That’s a totally reasonable stance to take, and I absolutely get the rationale there.

Not only that, but a lot of the existing ecosystems rest on the shoulders of network effects.

Once everyone you care about is on #Reddit, are you really going to be the only one not on Reddit and try to #bootstrap your own little corner for a specific community? Probably not, and attracting people there would be much harder. Reddit is the one-stop-shop - I can go there for woodworking advice, but I can also chat in #local communities, or communities around collecting #stamps, with the same account and within the same interface. Are you really going to post #photos of your fridge that you want to #sell on your blog and hope that in a year someone discovers it through a Google search? Of course not - you will go to #Facebook #Marketplace or #Craigslist and get it sold within a few days.

You, the #user, are going to go where most people are, because you’re optimizing for #solving your #problems, such as finding like-minded individuals or #selling the fridge quickly and getting it out of your garage to make room for a table saw.

Most people are this way - they don’t care who or how maintains or runs a community or network as long as that place solves the problems they set out to solve. When that #goal overlaps with the company’s desire to make money, you end up in somewhat of a goldilocks zone, but that’s typically a short-lived experience with #modern services. More on that shortly."

#CSS (#Bootstrap ideally) experts, please help me!

I'm trying to make a form in a nice tabular layout so that the first column sizes to the longest label, and all the form inputs line up in the second column.

I don't want to use bootstrap's fixed column widths, I want auto-adjustment. Can I do this? With flexbox? Should I use grid instead? Argh.

We’re delighted to announce the release of pkgdown 2.1.0! 🎉

pkgdown is designed to make it quick and easy to build a beautiful and accessible website for your #Rstats package. This is a massive release with a bunch of new features.

Some highlights include:

• Support for #Quarto vignettes
• Light switch mode
• Deprecated support for #Bootstrap 3

Read about them on the #tidyverse blog: tidyverse.org/blog/2024/07/pkg

Today I spent about 6 hours figuring out the details of rustc bootstrapping, and got knowledge of some things I'd prefer not to. And all that only to find that the support team didn't read my ticket and just uploaded wrong sources to buildserver.

Also, I found out that I'm not the only one to consider rustc bootstrap complex, and there's a useful article with lots of details: jyn.dev/2023/01/12/Bootstrappi

i really want to know as a developer, what will it take for mastodon to decouple the theming from the code.

i solved my #accessibility problem.

but that shouldn't be good enough when it's just a work around to what is a fundamental flaw in #Mastodon's architecture.

and this is why #Twitter was so damn successful.

their original designers are fucking legend what with how #Bootstrap is now a thing of it's own.

#Mastodon should be innovating social media design as well.

Regarding #simplicity 👆

Have a look at #ArkUI

ark-ui.com/

It is a "fully customizable, #accessible and #unstyled #UI component [framework]".

No #Bootstrap. No #Bloat. Just use your own #CSS. Love it! ❤️

I've just used their Select component and it works so intuitively!

They have a guide on how to style their components (there are multiple ways):

Well, at best I have seen #guix at about 86% #reproducible ...

data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1

Today, it is about 92% unknown... the two build farms have a fair amount of catching up to do after the core-updates merge.

"guix" itself is not particularly reproducible, due to non-determinism with parallelism in guile. Parallelism in the Debian package of guix is disable so is reproducible there, at least!

Would be good to see how much of the #bootstrap is bit-for-bit reproducible!
