Ok. HTML5 is pointless and divisive. Give up and learn XML.

So HTTP servers are buggy. Does HTTP3 have an open source test suite? Last time I implemented HTTP1 there was only a very expensive commercial test suite...

That's a great idea! I should start experimenting with this and overflow-wrap. Maybe replace those nbsp's with spans to achieve the desired result...

Greater availability of wide angle lenses might have something to do with it.

Wish there was something between space (U+0020) and non-breaking space (U+00A0), like an avoid-breaking space.

Very cool collection of patterns! Will let you know if we come accross something. Yolijn somehow doesn't like holes in patterns much, only thing she liked so far was "Neo's sweater" on the Nebuchadnezzar from the Matrix 🤷

What kind of risque are you looking for? And surely there is plenty between normie and what you're looking for? I love this (cute) stuff ravelry.com/designers/stephe…

For some teams it is about supporting 400% zoom on 1280px screens. w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understand…
XML and XPath are similarly Unicode based (in JavaScript not utf8 luckily) and for that I also built for my parser generator. Took a while, but was super happy with the result! Just one long nested `codePoint > 482 ? ... : ...`.

Great example of client/service separation is Roon, custom interface on top of TIDAL and other sources: roonlabs.com Just wish their app would work on the go as well.

I'm not sure about this either, should I call this lucky or unlucky? 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

A contract where you have a shorter notice period to terminate (14 days for example) in case of late payments also helps. Not getting paid and on top of that having a 1 or 2 month notice period is the worst.
Replying to @vanamerongen
Doesn't really get better over time either. Three things are helpful: accumulate cash for peace of mind, work with multiple customers simultaneously, positive experience with a "deurwaarder" to help you get paid.

Thanks for the great write-up, I shared it in our nl-design-system Slack immediately

Prioritise quality over speed in your design systems. A post inspired by @bigmediumjosh whose call to resist “injecting crap into the arteries of your system” at last week’s @zeroheight webinar touched a nerve. bit.ly/3wxquhd
