And here are the fruits of my labor: a python script that converts chapterDB XML files to work with Handbrake. It was either this or painfully copy and paste Big Trouble In Little China's 45 chapter titles manually. Also, I am bad at remembering to commit properly on Git... #dev #python #movies

You can now somewhat properly use Post Split on iPadOS and macOS. I opted against a native macOS version for now, because I’d have to make too many UI changes. But I optimized the iPad version so macOS is now usable because of that. Let me know what you think and which suggestions you have for making the UI better on bigger screens. Other than that I now include the platform you split the post for in the view with the split (1/2)

A mon tour de demander à Mastodon de faire sa magie !
Je suis désormais à la recherche d'une nouvelle opportunité en tant que #dev ou #architecte :dotnet: .
J'ai une quinzaine d'années d'XP sur des architectures #microservices
Je suis sympa et je ne mords pas.
Dispo à partir de la mi-Avril, j'ai la tête bien faite et vous n'aurez pas besoin de me tenir la main bien longtemps.
N'hésitez pas à me contacter en privé et booster si possible

Because someone just hearted this decade old @codepen.io #3D demo, I gave it a quick 2025 remake using ✳️ modern #CSS features ✳️ - grid instead of `position: absolute`, CSS variables to avoid setting multiple properties in Sass loops, `color-mix()` and more!

Based on a GIF by @sasj, originally CSS-ed 9+ years ago live on CodePen in 10 minutes and 50 lines of SCSS. Now the code is even more compact.

Continued thread

If we have an inline `span` inside a `p` & we give it a semi-transparent `background` + a `padding`, we get an alpha increase where backgrounds of adjacent lines overlap.

How would you solve this problem without text duplication, without stacking 2 identical `p` elements, one for background (opaque background + transparent text + opacity) and one for text (transparent background)?

#CSS#SVG#filter

Just performed a technical interview and during one of the discussions the candidate end up with the following code in codepad: struct S { int x = x; };

A bit to my surprise it compiled successfully with the codepad built-in GCC 12.

Then I was wondering what does that even mean.

It turns out that in C++20 this is a syntactically correct designated initializer for a non-union aggregate. And no one explicitly forbids it from being self-referential!
So basically that's attempt to assign the x value to the same x. Before it was initialized. And yes, that's possible, and yes, that's UB.

The more I see C++ code the more I grow an opinion "You can type any random string into modern C++ compiler and it would compile successfully. And it will contain at least one UB."

**Software Developers’ Perceptions of Productivity**

L'amélioration des compétences en développement logiciel augmente la demande mondiale en logiciels. Cependant, peu de recherches se concentrent sur la manière dont les développeurs perçoivent et améliorent leur productivité. Deux études montrent que les développeurs se sentent productifs lorsqu'ils accomplissent de nombreuses tâches sans interruptions, malgré des changements fréquents de tâches observés.
