I've been so absorbed in learning the Drupal rendering process I haven't had much energy for personal coding lately. That and a lot of moving still happening, but slowly.

@akmur Yeah, definitely going to try and do this for this month! I think it was a mix of newcomer anxiousness, already having a lot going on, and just plain forgetting you can get a ride on a whim. 😛
x0rzChrome is now hiding "trivial" subdomains in the URL bar (www[.]domain[.]com shows only domain[.]com ). This is plain wrong, and buggy as hell :/ https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=881410
@nocksock I personally don't know anyone who's expressed issues with URLs themselves, neither laypeople or tech folks, but plenty who are unhappy about bad IA that manifests as large or unmemorable URLs.
As far as I can see, a solution to bad IA will either have to:
- Mask it, which short links and aliases already can now; or
- Force good practices, like AMP with resources/perf, but also something people can fix right now.
Neither of these require something to replace URLs.
I was going to go to the #Elm DC meetup tomorrow — my first meetup outside of UAS years ago. Sadly, I just realized that it's not within reasonable walking distance of the McLean station. Oops! Maybe I can find some other meetup to go to soon that's Metro-friendly.
@akmur Elm has been the most refreshing development experience for me. :) All code is structured the same and I can go fast because the compiler has my back with things like helpful messages, typo checking, and explicit error handling.
There IS a learning curve with its concepts and syntax, but I personally found it gentler than most because of the compiler, docs, and community.
Even if you don't end up using Elm, you learn a lot from it! It's changed how I think about my JS code.
I'm digging into the changes in #Elm 0.19 and it always amazes me how much thought goes into the work Evan and the Elm team do. A big congrats to them on all their effort with this release!
