Not sure why i need this on Mac. Apache is already installed — just drop your files in ~/Sites/ or /Library/WebServer/Documents/ .

Couple of (nice?) things I've built with SVG:

Sun Clock: https://sunclock.net

Degrees What?: https://degreeswhat.com


Nice!

One thing i'd like to see is an entire site built with SVG and JS without any HTML at all. It's possible but i haven't seen anyone do it yet.

I've used SVG in the past to work around limitations in css alignment (cloth before and after new layouts made it unnecessary--I don't write CSS enough to remember how they work, but adding text to a quick drawing in inkscape is fairly trivial)

so how can you know it's actually possible?

Browsers will render SVG files. SVG files can link to other SVG files. Just need to configure the server to serve SVG by default — most servers don't but it's an easy config change.

Actually just found one, via an old stack overflow post. Only a three page test, but proves the point:

https://svg.nicubunu.ro


No javascript here though

What's the issue?

HTML attribute: height="20"

CSS property: height: 20px;

JS statement: element.style.height = "20px";


For me the test for acceptable advertising is whether I can avoid it or not: newspapers, magazines, free-to-air TV, free websites — fine; billboards, and any service I pay for — no way.

> "At its most basic, the watt is a measure of work. It’s the amount of energy it takes to do something at a particular speed."

Oh dear. This article is full of confusion between energy and power.

But I agree that batteries should list total energy. Just list the voltage, energy (in Wh or J) and the max power output (W).


Yes, totally agree. Also a paragraph on the relationship between energy, heat, cooling and that computers effectively turn all energy into heat might have been useful.

The April 1st date on the article is telling.

Shout out to "Technology Connections" YouTube channel for recently publishing "Power is not energy" - <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOK5xkFijPc>.


The correct minus sign looks a lot clearer than a hyphen-minus when printing out negative numbers, especially at small font sizes. I have in the past written code to convert them.


The eternal debate between minimalism and the ornate.

There's room for both: when presentation matters I use them; when it doesn't, I don't.
