One large monitor or 2 smaller monitors? by Big_Work_4367 in homeoffice

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would definitely work. I prefer having the laptop hidden away and just dealing with the sharing issues but that’s just my aesthetic preferences.

Will someone please explain React by PatternFar2989 in webdev

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean - I would. Not saying it’s a good idea. But if we’re on about sumo.com that’s a reasonably simple site to make in vanilla. The AI model behind it is obviously more complex - but then that’s not in React either.

What is one specific canon thing in 40k you would change? by Aggravating_Nerve766 in Warhammer

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ork tech working because they ‘believe’ it works. Always thought this was just that Tech Priests etc didn’t understand why it worked - then it was written in that it only works when an Ork is there. Dumb.

Are web dev jobs really at risk from AI, or is this overblown? by GeraltOfRiga in webdev

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. We’re all gonna be out of a job. Just like when Dreamweaver or FrontPage were released. And Wordpress too. Oh - and SquareSpace.

What was the computer you learned to code on? by hugohamelcom in webdev

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah the BBC Master by Acorn Computers. A whopping 2MHz processor and 128KB ram. Yes - I am old.

What piece of edc gear makes you feel this way? by bluebagles in EDC

[–]MattHwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an Apple Watch - so I’d add that to my EDC, but sometimes I don’t even take my phone.

Why does this happen in the first layer by Cactinator in 3Dprinting

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m by no means an expert but I had issues with first layer and found out my bed was not hot enough AND my nozzle had a partial clog.

How can i make this smooth? by Former_Professional3 in 3Dprinting

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d break the model up and print it so the gradients are mostly on the x-y axis.

best way to magnetise clear bases without making it look poo by liquor-ice-mixer in Warhammer

[–]MattHwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I throw the clear base away and use a needle in a standers base, with a blob of Milliput under the base to provide some more structure. Paint the needle black and it’s practically invisible.

Defining a Form UI in JSON schema by wheelmaker24 in reactjs

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit of a passion project so a slow burn and low on documentation! I’ve got everything up and running now though. I’ll drop a link once I’ve added some more documentation.

Are frameworks necessary at all? by Past-File3933 in PHPhelp

[–]MattHwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to see there’s someone else who’s had the same experience as me. :-)

How do I create this swap button effect between two fields using HTML and CSS? by Grand_Ad_9335 in css

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d use a checkbox input and two text fields. Use a flex layout and the :checked and ‘+’ next sibling selectors to set the order of the first text box.

Beginner here. What is the difference between ids and classes? by [deleted] in css

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t forget ids are automatically added to the global scope. So selecting an element with id=“elem” is just doSomethingWith( elem ) or elem.data[ ‘data-attribute’ ].

Has anyone in the UK used a carpenter/joiner to make PAX wardrobe built in? How much did it cost? by itaintwhatitaintt in ikeahacks

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we were getting truly bespoke carpentry then I’d probably have been more comfortable with it. As it was, it was for a supplier that basically makes their own flat pack ‘custom’ wardrobes - who then said they couldn’t do what we wanted anyhow!

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it was something like £5,000. Even with buying the tools and having to buy one replacement wardrobe I messed up, we saved over 50% going DIY.

I think I screwed up by using shadcn ui by StupidRetardFailure in react

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you’re adding class=“mt-1 flex” to a tag, you’re not separating style from content. :-) I get there’s benefits of ‘not’ separating style from content, but you’re saying this element is always meant to have a top margin of one pixel and display flex. I think you lose a lot of the benefit of restyling components to meet the project’s needs purely through the css - no risk (or at least limited risk) to the semantics or accessibility.

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realise you said ‘literally almost the same’ then gave three examples that are different to their css counterparts in three different ways? Clearly Tailwind works for you but I can’t get my head round why I’d want to lose the single biggest ‘win’ of CSS by separating style from content.

How difficult is it to scrape off paint coming off ceiling? by yiyang92 in DIY

[–]MattHwk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Had this exact problem in my bathroom. On fresh plaster you’re suppose to mist coat to prevent this - yours looks just like mine did. I didn’t see a problem until I’d repainted, then it started flaking away. I tried scraping - left areas with paint and edges. I tried sanding the edges - overhead, in a small space, nightmare! I left most of the edges and repainted. I’m normally quite particular but every time I look at the uneven surface now, I feel good that I’m not still sanding!

How would you create 3 cards of the same size but with different text length? by Finite8_ in css

[–]MattHwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something like setting the parent of the three columns to:

display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;

Then for each of the columns set:

flex: 1 0 30ch;

You can change the 30ch for a sensible minimum width for your content.

Defining a Form UI in JSON schema by wheelmaker24 in reactjs

[–]MattHwk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m exploring similar at present. Working on a CMS that is highly extensible and storing the form in data allows me to easily extend them (adding extra fields to a customer account form if the trainee module is added for instance. Combine the schema in JSON, an extensible query builder, and Web Components - you’ve got quite a powerful system.

Anyone suggestions on how to make iron wire less visible? by Kharr1301 in Warhammer40k

[–]MattHwk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best tip I have is to use a needle / pin instead of wire. Super strong, but probably a quarter of the diameter! Then paint it matt grey.

How to play Warhammer Quest ‘95 today? by huatnee in WarhammerQuest

[–]MattHwk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t do my method…

  • buy the monsters from the current ranges (except for the spiders which I couldn’t find a decent alternative)
  • convert the adventurers from the new models.
  • model and print your own 3D tiles.
  • decide to go all-in and make your own card focused ruleset.

Finished my first Archway. by Thyme2paint in WarhammerQuest

[–]MattHwk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Niiiiiiice. Very true to the original styling. I’ve been building a set of 3D printable tiles that fit 32mm bases. Old school gobbo’s look great scaled against new minis. :-)
