When I see the grid syntax, I just wanna jump off a cliff. Who created this abomination and why? We need trials to check whether these were the output of humans or some synthetics pretending to be humans.

Yes, the syntax takes a while to get used to; they were attempting to cover several different use cases.

You can use ASCII art to “draw” your layout if you want to, which is quite accessible [1].

Layout Land [1] is a great set of videos that explains CSS Grid

Why does it need explaining, when it has to be self explaining and not some overcomplicated mishmash. Like someone was under the influence of psychedelics when working out the specifics.

We had to wait 15 years for proper positioning in css. Same shit repeated again.


It's quite straightforward to find the discussions that lead to the specs, if you're interested in participating.

So it went thru multiple people and they all said in unison: well, this is all ironed out, easy to use and looks ok. We did a great job!

Just mind boggling. I get it, maybe they want to create extra jobs, by adding complexity, hence more people are required for a role, but why keeping up the illusion? Fucking alter the economic systems if this was the goal.


I simply ignore it and use flexbox without any issues.

I think Flexbox is so much worse than CSS Grid. If Flexbox makes sense to you, it I don't think it should be that hard to learn CSS Grid, you'll already have many of the properties you need to understood learned. Grid just works properly in 2 whole dimensions where Flexbox sort of gives up after 1 and a half dimensions.

I know grid. It doesn’t do what I want, so I don’t generally use it.

I sympathize with your comment and imagine the overflowing downvotes as soon you openly critic the web/css/javascript and their people doing the standard. I watched tons of videos and read a lot on mdn about css grid, I don't touch it for a while I need to go back at it again... After tables/floats/abs positioning eventually convoluted flex we should have stopped and review what the heck people were doing on w3c, it's artificial complexity we don't deserve that

Then how come you start forgetting things when your cholesterol gets way high, like 4x the reference/normal value?

Just speculating, but if your cardiovascular function degrades due to cholesterol, it should have an impact on the brain.

That's actually a good idea, thanks.

I'd like to see how long people scroll down until they throw away the article.

Didn't even read it, but the title alone tells me it's catnip for the comments.

xda-developers..... reliable source. nonetheless time to ask the ssd makers whats their take on this. they have support,time to write to them.

Superstition....

While unlikely solar flares or other environmental conditions could damage data over a long time.

Exactly like Asimov wrote about it in the Foundation. Different way, same purpose.

They don't have time and/or money. The moment you have ample time you gonna cook.

The scene from Torrente comes to mind where the protagonist gives a set of anal beads to a gay guy who then identifies it as ar*e smell, hence it was used. Or smth like that :D.

Creating a blog is like a fart in the wind. You have to do everything. Marketing, dissemination etc etc. Good luck. Do not feed the AI overlords for nothing.

Noone uses Kagi.... compared to the big engines.

You don’t have to use Kagi’s search engine in order to use Small Web.
