not quite finished but should be tomorrow :)
and there’s a ‘poem’ on the front

Computer printing history question: Why is imposition such a pain? At what level is “a page” so different from “this graphic” that imposition is still handled by different software than the rest of page layout?

Historical quirks and links to explanations, vague memories of subtle bugs, all welcome.

Ever wanted to get the number of auto-fit columns in CSS?

```
--u: 5em;
grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(var(--u), 1fr))
```

It's now possible! Using registered #CSS vars, the tan division hack and container query units! Here's a little test on @codepen:

I used the "gallery" option in Wordpress (Classic Editor) a lot.

But what it looks like in the pseudo-HTML source that Wordpress uses is this:

[gallery columns="4" link="file" ids="7910,7911,7912,7913,7920,7921,7922,7924"]

Which conversion/archiving tools don't know what to do with.

I assume Wordpress must generate the gallery HTML everytime the page is loaded? (I'm pretty sure the numbers are document numbers for the images, which also contain size and captions).

I've been manually converting them to HTML tables, which will work in exported Markdown (albeit just as quoted HTML -- because apparently Markdown doesn't support image tables or galleries).

Also, I have to open each image and then copy and paste the filename into the "Add Media" search bar in order to add the images to my article so I can put table tags around them.

Is there a better way to do this?

Maybe a way to explode the galleries into individual images, at least?

Also, do any of the static CMS/blog generators handle images and galleries better than this?

All the ones I know seem to view images as an afterthought, and galleries, let alone artistic layouts not even a tiny bit. Not everything of value is words, folks.

I'm thinking of migrating to something else -- but what?

3D Printed Caliper Extensions Make Hole Measurement Easier - If there’s anything more frustrating than mounting holes that don’t line up with t... - https://hackaday.com/2024/12/06/3d-printed-extensions-make-hole-measurement-easier/ #center-to-center #measurement #toolhacks #caliper #layout #hole

If you use Vial (https://get.vial.today) to configure your keyboard on macOS and you need to map a key to backtick/tilde, mapping it to the backtick/tidle key in the Vial keyboard won’t work (you’ll get the section/plus-minus key). Instead, map it to the following code:

KC_NONUS_BSLASH

(At least that’s what worked for me on the British English Mac layout.)

This is how every one of my murals starts. Some sketchy lines for layout on a scrappy envelope. This is how I start to feel the space the wall is in. How I want people to walk in and get sucked up by the motions of lines, the depths, their perspectives of the space and themselves. Feeling normal on one end, feeling small on the other.
To be continued...

OK this might be a bit crazy but is there a way to “interleave” content with #CSS? As in: you have two long lines of content, and you want to allow the standard linebreaking algorithm to do its thing on both, BUT you don't want all the content from one line followed by the other, if it wraps:

L1L1L1L1
L1L1L1L1
L1L1L1
L2L2L2L2
L2L2L2

but you want the wrapped line(s) to follow the wrapped line(s) of the following content:

L1L1L1
L2L2L2
L1L1L1
L2L2
L1L1

#FediHelp: I am looking for a #graphics #designer who can beautifully visualise the sign-up process of the #Fediverse + beginners tips on an approx. 2m² large #print banner.

Banner will be used for a conference booth and should allow newbies to understand the Fediverse and how easy it is. Design can be playful and colourful :)

Please DM me if interested; boosts and tagging very appreciated!

> The #CSS #AnchorPositioning #API is a game-changer in #web #development because it lets you natively position elements relative to other elements, known as anchors. This API simplifies complex #layout requirements for many interface features like menus and submenus, tooltips, selects, labels, cards, settings dialogs, and many more.

I suggest we make it its own thing. Call it whatever we like: Bricks, stacks, castle, river, stones, etc.

Obviously, don't look for the actual dimensions of the sets in there. Spoiler: this is a fictional ship.
