How in the world is your rant in linked file supposed to work?

* It seems you decide whether to execute a file by its extension, e.g. `.php`

* You are complaining that Windows is stripping away spaces, so `.php ` becomes `.php`

* And supposedly this could lead the file being served as static text if you didn't have a Windows workaround?

It rather seems to me that POSIX accepting `.php ` as a filename, and this not being picked up by a `.php` check is problematic here.

I see, thanks for the insights.

Just like Lua, hence their similarities.

I can't use jpackage on Windows to build Mac binaries, but not having FX installed is what kind of problem? Just use jpackage to create an .app for Mac, an installer or portable build for Windows, and a .deb or executable binary for Linux. It bundles all dependencies and users can just click and run it.

What's the problem with jpackage for, say, shipping Windows binaries?

I just let it package a "portable" (no need to install) directory of all dependencies and that's it. Users just download a ZIP and can use my programs.

Can I scroll up to a thread to the first message without Javascript running to fetch previous posts? We had this in the 00-ties.

It would also be great if I can Ctrl+F to use my browser's search feature to look through all messages instead of relying on a dynamic JavaScript one.

You are cherry-picking the best experience one can have on macOS, and contrasting it with the worst experience on Windows. This way it just sounds like comparing in bad faith.

There is plenty of Mac software that requires an installer and Uninstaller, plenty of off-behaving applications that put stuff directly into ~ or ~/Documents, and even those that install some internal executables into /usr/local/bin.

You can have an equally pleasant experience on Windows (after all, this is about portable apps...). There is "mature" software whose installers will just override (update) the existing application (e.g. Anki, Affinity apps), %APPDATA% is your Application Support folder on Windows (if only more software would use it), and then there's also the slightly new .appx packaging with a clean way of uninstalling. No one hinders you to just download portable apps directly from the vendor and putting it into C:/Applications, if you want that.

If there is an odd one out, it would be Desktop Linux.

I love Nim's syntax, but is there a specific reason why e.g. the SFML binding cannot imitate C++ RAII approach of handling resources? There is .close everywhere.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You can install any kind of distribution by copying over their rootfs. For example, I am running Void Linux on WSL2.

Hold shift while dropping.

Reminds me of something we had more than 10 years ago.

It certainly ran better than this.

I'm not using Tailwind, but that comparison is wrong. Something like mt-2 still doesn't map to a fixed style, and it also has another specificity than inline styles which makes it easier to override.

If you need to globally change the margin that mt-2 adds, you only need to change that class instead of all HTML inline styles.

One could also remove the expected shadow values (and hues) depending on the color of the clothing and the color of the light, at least approximately.

Should work as long as there aren't complicated interactions of the material with light that hits it.

For a sidebar alone, you don't need CSS grid (probably obvious). The point of this article, i.e. having something full-bleed, is implemented by adding a specific class to the element. Which means you would always have a DOM similar to

    </something that gets closed>
    <full bleed>
    ...
    </full bleed>
    <next>
    ...

My point is that now, with a new block element in the hierarchy, it would fill the maximum width anyway. It is only because of being inside a CSS grid that you now have to work around the grid positioning which means adding more CSS attributes.

The exception would be if you would want the full bleed element directly under the sidebar (in terms of z-index). Here CSS grid is useful, but this is probably a special case anyway.

Wait until Web developers find about setting a width and horizontal margins: auto on a block container again.

As a matter of fact, that would require even less attributes to work compared to the method presented in the article.

That's...in literally every browser's setting since the beginning of browsers.

Why do you think is that? Genuinely curious. There's nothing in Windows that prominently wants you to have everything maximized (ignoring the semi-new tablet mode; windowing behavior stems from a time long before that).

macOS, on the other hand, explicitly advertised having an "immersive" fullscreen mode (with a dedicated button in the past).

I bet it won't remember my scroll position when navigating back between articles.
