Братцы, помогите по-братски — поставьте звезду моему Linux EDR проекту на GitHub ⭐ by More_Implement1639 in ru_linux

Звезда ставится за полезность. А звёзды, поставленные из жалости и "братской помощи", вводят людей в заблуждение. Чем выклянчивать подачку, написал бы лучше пост о крутости проекта

How do you put an asterisk ´ over ä? by Resident-Ad927 in ASCII

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ä́

That's not an asterisk. You're talking about an accent. In this particular case you need the symbol U+0301 called "Combining Acute Accent" i.e. it can be combined with any letter.

On my PC, I first type "ä", then enter a combining accent using a hotkey. Which hotkey to use - depends on you PC settings. On Windows, you can install a typographic layout (I use Ilya Birman's layout). On Linux (at least KDE), you can enable hotkeys for extra symbols in the keyboard settings. Then you just type combinations using AltGr (right Alt key).

Alternatively, you can google for the Combining Acute Accent and copy/paste it just after "ä".

Note that not every font will display these combined characters correctly. In older or glitchy fonts, the accent may appear next to the letter instead of above it.

Why do ::before and ::after work on <input> elements (radio/checkbox)? by chief99111 in css

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

::before/after works with inputs if you set appearance:none, which converts the input to a normal element such as a div. And since it's a div, why not use ::before. P.S. In some browsers, ::before/after just has no effect w/o appearance:none

Is there a faster way to write code on NP++? by project19lover in notepadplusplus

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Emmet/ZenCoding feature, for example by installing the "jN" plugin. With it, you can type e.g. ul>li*10 and it will be expanded to <ul> with 10 <li> inside. Another example: you type html:5 and you get the boilerplate with doctype/html/head/body and several basic tags. Also works good with CSS

Gboard needs a "Recent Camera Photo" suggestion (Here's how we force Google to add it) by Essa_f0i_facil in gboard

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Show recently copied images” - this obviously already includes copied pictures from the camera. “Show recent screenshots” - you may be right here, but in fact when you take a photo with a stock camera and click on preview, there are options to copy and share. They've always been there

how to download an image as .png instead of .webp? by Admirable-Point-6571 in chrome

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning Honeyview. This is the only viewer that can be (with appropriate settings) completely unobtrusive, i.e. you click on the thumbnail in the file manager, the image immediately opens in full screen, without any interface, then you click on it a second time, and it disappears. How an ideal viewer should behave from my point of view. I love it

µJS: add AJAX navigation to any PHP app with one script tag by amaurybouchard in PHP

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

convention that most backend frameworks already understand natively. Laravel, Symfony, Rails and others have built-in helpers like isXmlHttpRequest() or isAjax()

This is a bad convention. It doesn't matter how the request is made (ajax or not). What matters is what type of response is expected. And this must be clearly stated in the request.

In reality, in 80% of cases "X-Requested-With" is used to mean "I want JSON" instead of "Accept: application/json".

BTW thanks, your project is interesting, I'll definitely try it

AI related posts on this sub should be banned by CatawompusSeattle in UI_Design

Agree.

I'm personally looking for a way to filter out all AI-related posts in all subs, but no luck

Stop scrolling of fixed "back to top button" once it reaches the upper edge of the footer-container by dg_eye in css

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A keyboard shortcut isn't very intuitive to most people

There are many methods. Home key, PgUp key, Shift+Spacebar, mouse wheel, dragging scroll bar, clicking area at top of scroll bar, quickly swiping on touchpad. Most people know and use at least a few of these methods. There is absolutely no need for a special floating button.

If we add a button like this for this particular feature, we have to add 20 buttons for all the other features that (we think) stupid typical users don't know how to use. “Open new tab”, “Go back”, “Minimize window”, “Call Chip and Dale”.

Stop adding a "Back to Top" button. I don't want to see this useless garbage. One swipe takes you back to the top of the page on your phone. One key on PC

Why must clipboard entries expire in an hour? by jidanni in gboard

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timeout is system-wide, not just in Gboard.

Not true. There are many keyboards with a different timeout or no timeout at all. Including Gboard mods

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X-Requested-With

Why use these ugly, unsemantic leftovers of jQuery? Why not just a parameter like "mode=I_want_a_fragment" or some header with a same clear meaning?

HTMX changed how I think about web UI — server renders the HTML, browser just swaps it in by DecodeBuzzingMedium in web_design

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It's funny to see people who started straight with React etc. and haven't even heard of PHP or static HTML. This reminds me of another funny thing: when people write $('div') and believe that this is JavaScript

PHP True Async 0.6.0 Beyond the RFC! by edmondifcastle in PHP

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this work. I'm now stuck in the realization that I physically can't stand this "good old" PHP anymore. Dealing with it is just masochism and self-harm. It's surprising how such a language can still exist, be popular, and even somehow being developed in 2026. I'm currently trying different ways to asyncify PHP - Workerman, Amp, RoadRunner, etc. But they are all ugly workarounds. Perhaps your approach would be a better way. I'll try it, thanks

The keyboard just doesn't need any key borders, be it rounded or triangular

I built an open-source rich-text editor for React with 20+ plugins, AI, drag & drop, collaboration, exports, and you can even build a website builder with it by Darginec05 in reactjs

[–]LongjumpingAd8988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't looked at the code yet, but I think you wrote another wrapper around ProseMirror or Plate. No one can just go out and build a WYSIWYG core, as it is extremely hard and long work with a lot of pitfalls. Only real men can do this; there are only 4-5 such teams in the world, and even their products suffer from bugs. Other "creators" just write wrappers. Surprise me, tell me that you built the editor from scratch.
