I couldn’t agree more to what Dave wrote in his recent blog post about the increasing demands of the front-end web: the job of a front-end developer is getting ever more complex. From writing well-structured, semantic HTML to the latest (fantastic) new CSS features, to acces...

At first I thought: ah, this seems a little too silly and old-school; doI really want to watch this? But then it convinced me more and more.

It’s pretty scary stuff. Plus super-violent and splattery. And thatending!! Old-school effects galore!

Remarkable film. Didn’t regret this at all!

Maybe towards the end, it’s a bit longer than necessary. But other thanthat I was again very well entertained for almost 3 hours.

The splatter is just so over the top it’s ridiculous! And so much fun.Despite the serious topic. Poah, and that first Mandingo fight scene inMonsieur Candie’s mansion is almost unbearably violent and cruel.Justified IMO, but bloody hell!

Acting, script, pace, etc. all perfect. Very satisfying revenge film.

I’m so into this album again – or even still. It’s fascinating to me, how you can do that much with only three instruments (at a time). And then the vocals add another layer. So, I’m really enjoying discovering and analysing all the different parts. It just keeps giving. And TOOL’s great live performance certainly played a huge part in making me dive into this again.

Very well deserved that this is the first album to appear a second time in this list.

Mal wieder mit dem Kind einen Film geguckt. Dieser ist sehr zu empfehlenals Einstieg: keine bedrohlichen Szenen, nicht zu lang, es sind ehereinzelne Episoden in einem Film – aber mit einem leicht zu verstehendemübergeordneten Thema.

Mit fast fünf hat sie die ganze Zeit aufmerksam zugeguckt und oft auchgelacht. Und auch für Erwachsene ist der durchaus unterhaltsam.

This was more of a dumb-phone than a smart-phone. The supernatural neverexplained, unnecessarily violent in places, constructed jump-scares, andkid-characters that weren’t believable. I don’t know why Ethan Hawkeeven “starred” in this. It’s also a weird mix of some highschool movie,“Silence of the lambs”-style thriller and “the sixth sense”. But inboring. I’m sorry!

Objectively, this wasn’t a good movie. It just wasn’t suspenseful atall. And the ideas? Meh!

We still had a great evening, though! Part 3 is missing in ourcollection, which held us back from continuing the series. Luckily Udocame around with the DVD box set, so that we could finally continue. Wewere made aware that this was filmed in “3D”, featuring the usual “woah,something’s flying towards the camera” moments. Hilarious! So, this andits trashiness in general entertained us very well.

Please use whatever tool gets the job done and makes sense for you.

But then again, I’ve seen so many frameworks and tools come and go that it can be dangerous to put all your eggs in one basket. You know what really is time well spent and a worthy investment into your future, your career, and your team? Learning the basics and becoming really good at them.

Therefore, don’t let tools cover up weak spots in your or your team’s knowledge. Because what looks like a flaw at first glance is actually an opportunity to learn and improve.

And don’t let any tool make you believe that it isn’t worthwhile to learn the foundations of web technology or let it stop you from participating in the vital dialogue that pushes the platform and its standards forward.

There are many ways to adjust your CSS code to a browser’s support for a specific CSS feature. If you want to check if a certain property is supported, you can write a feature query using the @supports at-rule, for...

I’m right with Dave on this one! 💚 I’m tired of envi­ron­men­tal respon­si­bil­i­ty always falling on the con­sumer. I know con­sumer demand bub­bles up into soci­etal change, I’m will­ing to do my...

23 shows in 45 days all over the world. Made possible by using their ownplane, piloted by their singer Bruce Dickinson. You get to know the bandmembers – a very likeable bunch – and it includes live clips of theirhits. What’s not to like? Right: nothing!

You probably know this situation. You are working on a project and one of the npm packages you are working with contains a nasty bug or is lacking a critical feature. Of course, you first head over to the repositor...

Finally developed some rolls of film again. It’s been months since the last time.

Made 1.5 litres of fresh fixer, got the 5-reel tank out of the cupboard and developed some HP5 @1600. One of those rolls was from back in December.

A second batch – 5 rolls of APX 400 – is also already hanging to dry. Feels good to make progress on that front again. (But let’s not talk about the scanning backlog or posting to the journal, ok!?)

You know what makes it so easy for many people to just dump their thoughts into a silo like Twitter instead of writing a post on their own site?

You don’t have to come up with a title for your post.

Providing a proper document outline is one of the most effective things you can do to improve the accessibility of your HTML. Like the headings of the chapters and subchapters in a book, the structure of the heading elements in our HTML should have a semantic, tree-like stru...

Another fun daily movie guessing game. And an instant favourite!

Yesterday, I shared how to test a whole website for accessibility issues with Pa11y and how to output the results as HTML. I also shared the link on Twitter, as I usually do, and Darek Kay chimed in, mentioning an alternative tool he created: Evaluatory. Just like Pa11y, Eva...

Red Fang on this year’s Hellfest. The band rocks hard. The crowd goes wild. And all beautifully filmed and edited with great sound.

If you’re short on time, watch “Wires” in the middle of the set. Perfect!

🇫🇷 @Red Fang, c’est un groupe né à Portland, dans l’Oregon. La formation se compose de Brian Giles au chant et à la guitare, Aaron Beam au chant et à la ba...

As far as Zombies movies go, this certainly does not deviate from the usual plot. But the Zombies are filmed in an interesting way, emphasising their insanity and speed. I prefer my Zombies rather slow and clumsy, though. But this definitely had some good scenes! Some special effects were sub-par unfortunately. But overall I was well entertained. The characters were good, and I liked the sad yet beautiful ending.
