I set up a graph to track how many unsorted photos my wife and I have. Can't for the life of me figure out how to get a right Y axis to graph the two lines at their own scale. http://i.abackstrom.com/share/rrd/ #rrdtool

@aaronpk How many pairs of nail clippers do you have now?

Micro Frontends

July 19th, 2019

Chris succinctly describes the multiple-iframes-with-multiple-codebases approach to web development, AKA “micro frontends”:

The idea really is that you might build a React app and I build a Vue app and we’ll slap ‘em together on the same page. I definitely come from an era where we laughed-then-winced when we found sites that used multiple versions of jQuery on the same page, plus one thing that loaded all of MooTools and Prototype thrown on there seemingly by accident. We winced because that was a bucket full of JavaScript, mostly duplicated for no reason, causing bugs and slowing down the page. This doesn’t seem all that much different.

I don't understand how I've lived so long without a power drill

There are now two Flash Forward copy-cats out there, both claiming to have invented a brand new genre. One of them is super well funded. The other is about to make $$ on a Kickstarter. Watching people who wouldn't give me the time of day praise these new shows as "innovative" truly makes me want to find a new career.

@aaronpk should be easy to script in it, should be easy to scale up and write OOP code in it, shouldn't be Objective C or Java.

Was the hotel that bad or the city?

This is the look of a cat who is wondering when I'm going to play with him
