   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

• Building the flagship (2): a live DataGrid that queries Postgres on every keystroke

  Nothing you write. The grid's controls are the same data-flv-* conventions from part 3: the search box is a data-flv-change input that sends {"q": ""}, a filter pill is a data-flv-click with a data-flv-value-estado, a sortable header sends {"sort": "cargo"}. The framework serializes those into the socket message; your loop reads them from frame.payload. The diff engine sends only the s that changed. Keyed diffing... - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• How to find a device by its MAC address

  You can collect all of that by hand, or let a scanner do it in one pass. DeviceShelf resolves vendor, hostname, services and open ports for every device on the network and turns them into an actual identification; the same IEEE data behind our lookup page ships inside the app. For the full detective story, see the guide on identifying an unknown device. - Source: dev.to / 6 days ago

• 🍣 Sushi RS: SVG Sushi Components for Rust Frontends.

  So I came across the Frontend Challenge: Comfort Food Edition on dev.to, and I thought: "Hey, what if I build a Rust crate that lets you render SVG sushi directly in your WASM frontend? How hard can it be?". - Source: dev.to / 9 days ago

• How to start using Vim

  SpaceVim is a ready—to—use configuration that also provides an interface for configuring the editor and installing plugins. A similar project, Spacemacs, exists on the Internet, which they were inspired by. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
