How to detect when an element's visibility changes with JavaScript

Today, I wanted to show you how to detect when an element’s visibility changes using the JavaScript IntersectionObserver API. Let’s dig in! The Use Case I was recently working on a Web Component that calculates how much of the viewport it occupies, and automatically resizes itself to make sure it never overflows. As a standalone component, it worked fine. But in real-world use, it was nested inside Kelp’s toggle tabs component.

AI is not a person

You didn’t “have a conversation” with ChatGPT. It doesn’t “think you should…” It doesn’t think. It didn’t “tell you that…” It doesn’t speak. It doesn’t “feel that the best option is…” It doesn’t feel. AI is a cheap parlor trick. You provide words, and it provides words back that are most likely to occur alongside the words you provided. It’s like when a psychic says some bullshit like this, “I see a feeling of regret looming over you.

Day 132 of Year 3 🚀
Day 863 of my coding journey since Jan 1, 2024.

Today I worked on a Python solution for the Hailstone Sequence assignment as a Code in Place 6 Section Leader. It's always interesting to see how a simple set of rules can generate complex patterns and reinforce core programming concepts like loops, conditionals, and problem-solving.

AI is not inevitable

Nearly every day, I hear someone say… Like it or not, AI is here to stay. This is self-fulfilling. The same thing has been said about numerous social ills throughout history, from monarchies to smoking. It’s only inevitable if we allow it to be. Don’t let the big techno-fascists tell you what is or is not inevitable.
