    SMIL on?

    I was chatting with Andy Clarke the other day about a new article he wants to write about SVG animations.
    “I’ve read some things that said that SMIL might be a dead end.” He said. “Whaddya think?”
    That was my impression, too. Sarah Drasner summed up the situation nicely way back in 2017:
    Chrome was also in on the party and published an intent to deprecate SMIL, citing work in other browsers to support SVG animations in CSS. MDN linked to that same thread in its SMIL documentation when it published a deprecation warning.
    Well, Chrome never deprecated SMIL. At least according to this reply in the thread dated 2023. And since then, we’ve also seen Microsoft’s Edge adopt a Chromium engine, effectively making it a Chrome clone. Also, last I checked, Caniuse reports full support in WebKit browsers.
    This browser support data is from Caniuse, which has more detail. A number indicates that browser supports the feature at that version and up.

    The portable AppImage format is quite popular among developers and users alike. It allows you to run applications without installation or dependency issues, on virtually any Linux distribution.
    However, managing multiple AppImages or keeping them updated can sometimes be a bit cumbersome. Fortunately, there are third-party tools that simplify the process, making it easier to organize, update, and integrate AppImages into your Linux system.
    In this article, I’ll share some useful tools that can help you manage AppImages more effectively and enhance your overall experience.
    Gear Lever
    Gear Lever is a modern GTK-based application that lets you manage your local AppImage files. It primarily helps you organize AppImages by adding desktop entries, updating applications, and more.
    Installed AppImages in Gear LeverFeatures of Gear Lever
    Drag and drop files directly from your file manager Update apps in place Keep multiple versions installed Install Gear Lever
    Gear Lever is available as a Flatpak package. You can install it with the following command:
    flatpak install flathub it.mijorus.gearleverGear LeverAppImage Launcher
    📋While the last release of AppImage Launcher was a few years ago, it works pretty fine.If you're a frequent user of AppImage packages, you should definitely check out AppImage Launcher. This open-source tool helps integrate AppImages into your system.
    It allows users to quickly add AppImages to the application menu, manage updates, and remove them with just a few clicks.

    For Ubuntu users, the .deb file is available under the Continuous build section on the releases page.
    AppImage LauncherAppImage Package Manager and AppMan
    AppImage Package Manager (AM) is designed to simplify AppImage management, functioning similarly to how APT or DNF handle native packages. It supports not just AppImages, but other portable formats as well.
    AM relies on a large database of shell scripts, inspired by the Arch User Repository (AUR), to manage AppImages from various sources.
    A similar tool is AppMan. It is basically AM but manages all your apps locally without needing root access.
    If you are a casual user, you can use AppMan instead of AM so that everything will be local and no need for any sudo privileges.

    I’m a big fan of Astro’s focus on developer experience (DX) and the onboarding of new developers. While the basic DX is strong, I can easily make a convoluted system that is hard to onboard my own developers to. I don’t want that to happen.
    If I have multiple developers working on a project, I want them to know exactly what to expect from every component that they have at their disposal. This goes double for myself in the future when I’ve forgotten how to work with my own system!
    To do that, a developer could go read each component and get a strong grasp of it before using one, but that feels like the onboarding would be incredibly slow. A better way would be to set up the interface so that as the developer is using the component, they have the right knowledge immediately available. Beyond that, it would bake in some defaults that don’t allow developers to make costly mistakes and alerts them to what those mistakes are before pushing code!
    Enter, of course, TypeScript. Astro comes with TypeScript set up out of the box. You don’t have to use it, but since it’s there, let’s talk about how to use it to craft a stronger DX for our development teams.
    Watch
    I’ve also recorded a video version of this article that you can watch if that’s your jam. Check it out on YouTube for chapters and closed captioning.
    Setup
    In this demo, we’re going to use a basic Astro project. To get this started, run the following command in your terminal and choose the “Minimal” template.
    npm create astro@latest This will create a project with an index route and a very simple “Welcome” component. For clarity, I recommend removing the <Welcome /> component from the route to have a clean starting point for your project.
    To add a bit of design, I’d recommend setting up Tailwind for Astro (though, you’re welcome to style your component however you would like including a style block in the component).
    npx astro add tailwind Once this is complete, you’re ready to write your first component.
    Creating the basic Heading component
    Let’s start by defining exactly what options we want to provide in our developer experience.
    For this component, we want to let developers choose from any HTML heading level (H1-H6). We also want them to be able to choose a specific font size and font weight — it may seem obvious now, but we don’t want people choosing a specific heading level for the weight and font size, so we separate those concerns.
    Finally, we want to make sure that any additional HTML attributes can be passed through to our component. There are few things worse than having a component and then not being able to do basic functionality later.
    Using Dynamic tags to create the HTML element
    Let’s start by creating a simple component that allows the user to dynamically choose the HTML element they want to use. Create a new component at ./src/components/Heading.astro.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro const { as } = Astro.props; const As = as; --- <As> <slot /> </As> To use a prop as a dynamic element name, we need the variable to start with a capital letter. We can define this as part of our naming convention and make the developer always capitalize this prop in their use, but that feels inconsistent with how most naming works within props. Instead, let’s keep our focus on the DX, and take that burden on for ourselves.
    In order to dynamically register an HTML element in our component, the variable must start with a capital letter. We can convert that in the frontmatter of our component. We then wrap all the children of our component in the <As> component by using Astro’s built-in <slot /> component.
    Now, we can use this component in our index route and render any HTML element we want. Import the component at the top of the file, and then add <h1> and <h2> elements to the route.
    --- // ./src/pages/index.astro import Layout from '../layouts/Layout.astro'; import Heading from '../components/Heading.astro'; --- <Layout> <Heading as="h1">Hello!</Heading> <Heading as="h2">Hello world</Heading> </Layout> This will render them correctly on the page and is a great start.
    Adding more custom props as a developer interface
    Let’s clean up the element choosing by bringing it inline to our props destructuring, and then add in additional props for weight, size, and any additional HTML attributes.
    To start, let’s bring the custom element selector into the destructuring of the Astro.props object. At the same time, let’s set a sensible default so that if a developer forgets to pass this prop, they still will get a heading.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro const { as: As="h2" } = Astro.props; --- <As> <slot /> </As> Next, we’ll get weight and size. Here’s our next design choice for our component system: do we make our developers know the class names they need to use or do we provide a generic set of sizes and do the mapping ourselves? Since we’re building a system, I think it’s important to move away from class names and into a more declarative setup. This will also future-proof our system by allowing us to change out the underlying styling and class system without affecting the DX.
    Not only do we future proof it, but we also are able to get around a limitation of Tailwind by doing this. Tailwind, as it turns out can’t handle dynamically-created class strings, so by mapping them, we solve an immediate issue as well.
    In this case, our sizes will go from small (sm) to six times the size (6xl) and our weights will go from “light” to “bold”.
    Let’s start by adjusting our frontmatter. We need to get these props off the Astro.props object and create a couple objects that we can use to map our interface to the proper class structure.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro const weights = { "bold": "font-bold", "semibold": "font-semibold", "medium": "font-medium", "light": "font-light" } const sizes= { "6xl": "text-6xl", "5xl": "text-5xl", "4xl": "text-4xl", "3xl": "text-3xl", "2xl": "text-2xl", "xl": "text-xl", "lg": "text-lg", "md": "text-md", "sm": "text-sm" } const { as: As="h2", weight="medium", size="2xl" } = Astro.props; --- Depending on your use case, this amount of sizes and weights might be overkill. The great thing about crafting your own component system is that you get to choose and the only limitations are the ones you set for yourself.
    From here, we can then set the classes on our component. While we could add them in a standard class attribute, I find using Astro’s built-in class:list directive to be the cleaner way to programmatically set classes in a component like this. The directive takes an array of classes that can be strings, arrays themselves, objects, or variables. In this case, we’ll select the correct size and weight from our map objects in the frontmatter.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro const weights = { bold: "font-bold", semibold: "font-semibold", medium: "font-medium", light: "font-light", }; const sizes = { "6xl": "text-6xl", "5xl": "text-5xl", "4xl": "text-4xl", "3xl": "text-3xl", "2xl": "text-2xl", xl: "text-xl", lg: "text-lg", md: "text-md", sm: "text-sm", }; const { as: As = "h2", weight = "medium", size = "2xl" } = Astro.props; --- <As class:list={[ sizes[size], weights[weight] ]} > <slot /> </As> Your front-end should automatically shift a little in this update. Now your font weight will be slightly thicker and the classes should be applied in your developer tools.
    From here, add the props to your index route, and find the right configuration for your app.
    --- // ./src/pages/index.astro import Layout from '../layouts/Layout.astro'; import Heading from '../components/Heading.astro'; --- <Layout> <Heading as="h1" size="6xl" weight="light">Hello!</Heading> <Heading as="h3" size="xl" weight="bold">Hello world</Heading> </Layout> Our custom props are finished, but currently, we can’t use any default HTML attributes, so let’s fix that.
    Adding HTML attributes to the component
    We don’t know what sorts of attributes our developers will want to add, so let’s make sure they can add any additional ones they need.
    To do that, we can spread any other prop being passed to our component, and then add them to the rendered component.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro const weights = { // etc. }; const sizes = { // etc. }; const { as: As = "h2", weight = "medium", size = "md", ...attrs } = Astro.props; --- <As class:list={[ sizes[size], weights[weight] ]} {...attrs} > <slot /> </As> From here, we can add any arbitrary attributes to our element.
    --- // ./src/pages/index.astro import Layout from '../layouts/Layout.astro'; import Heading from '../components/Heading.astro'; --- <Layout> <Heading id="my-id" as="h1" size="6xl" weight="light">Hello!</Heading> <Heading class="text-blue-500" as="h3" size="xl" weight="bold">Hello world</Heading> </Layout> I’d like to take a moment to truly appreciate one aspect of this code. Our <h1>, we add an id attribute. No big deal. Our <h3>, though, we’re adding an additional class. My original assumption when creating this was that this would conflict with the class:list set in our component. Astro takes that worry away. When the class is passed and added to the component, Astro knows to merge the class prop with the class:list directive and automatically makes it work. One less line of code!
    In many ways, I like to consider these additional attributes as “escape hatches” in our component library. Sure, we want our developers to use our tools exactly as intended, but sometimes, it’s important to add new attributes or push our design system’s boundaries. For this, we allow them to add their own attributes, and it can create a powerful mix.
    It looks done, but are we?
    At this point, if you’re following along, it might feel like we’re done, but we have two issues with our code right now: (1) our component has “red squiggles” in our code editor and (2) our developers can make a BIG mistake if they choose.
    The red squiggles come from type errors in our component. Astro gives us TypeScript and linting by default, and sizes and weights can’t be of type: any. Not a big deal, but concerning depending on your deployment settings.
    The other issue is that our developers don’t have to choose a heading element for their heading. I’m all for escape hatches, but only if they don’t break the accessibility and SEO of my site.
    Imagine, if a developer used this with a div instead of an h1 on the page. What would happen?We don’t have to imagine, make the change and see.
    It looks identical, but now there’s no <h1> element on the page. Our semantic structure is broken, and that’s bad news for many reasons. Let’s use typing to help our developers make the best decisions and know what options are available for each prop.
    Adding types to the component
    To set up our types, first we want to make sure we handle any HTML attributes that come through. Astro, again, has our backs and has the typing we need to make this work. We can import the right HTML attribute types from Astro’s typing package. Import the type and then we can extend that type for our own props. In our example, we’ll select the h1 types, since that should cover most anything we need for our headings.
    Inside the Props interface, we’ll also add our first custom type. We’ll specify that the as prop must be one of a set of strings, instead of just a basic string type. In this case, we want it to be h1–h6 and nothing else.
    --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro import type { HTMLAttributes } from 'astro/types'; interface Props extends HTMLAttributes<'h1'> { as: "h1" | "h2" | "h3" | "h4" | "h5" | "h6"; } //... The rest of the file --- After adding this, you’ll note that in your index route, the <h1> component should now have a red underline for the as="div" property. When you hover over it, it will let you know that the as type does not allow for div and it will show you a list of acceptable strings.
    If you delete the div, you should also now have the ability to see a list of what’s available as you try to add the string.
    While it’s not a big deal for the element selection, knowing what’s available is a much bigger deal to the rest of the props, since those are much more custom.
    Let’s extend the custom typing to show all the available options. We also denote these items as optional by using the ?:before defining the type.
    While we could define each of these with the same type functionality as our as type, that doesn’t keep this future proofed. If we add a new size or weight, we’d have to make sure to update our type. To solve this, we can use a fun trick in TypeScript: keyof typeof.
    There are two helper functions in TypeScript that will help us convert our weights and sizes object maps into string literal types:
    typeof: This helper takes an object and converts it to a type. For instance typeof weights would return type { bold: string, semibold: string, ...etc} keyof: This helper function takes a type and returns a list of string literals from that type’s keys. For instance keyof type { bold: string, semibold: string, ...etc} would return "bold" | "semibold" | ...etc which is exactly what we want for both weights and sizes. --- // ./src/component/Heading.astro import type { HTMLAttributes } from 'astro/types'; interface Props extends HTMLAttributes<'h1'> { as: "h1" | "h2" | "h3" | "h4" | "h5" | "h6"; weight?: keyof typeof weights; size?: keyof typeof sizes; } // ... The rest of the file Now, when we want to add a size or weight, we get a dropdown list in our code editor showing exactly what’s available on the type. If something is selected, outside the list, it will show an error in the code editor helping the developer know what they missed.
    While none of this is necessary in the creation of Astro components, the fact that it’s built in and there’s no additional tooling to set up means that using it is very easy to opt into.
    I’m by no means a TypeScript expert, but getting this set up for each component takes only a few additional minutes and can save a lot of time for developers down the line (not to mention, it makes onboarding developers to your system much easier).

    New CSS features help us in all sorts of different ways, but here we’re going to look at them when they power a specific type of component, or make a type of component newly possible with less or no JavaScript.
    A single element CSS donut timer/countdown timer by Ben Frain — The surely least-used gradient type, conic-gradient() is used here to make donut (I’d call them charts) which when animated behave like a timer. This kind of thing changes the web in that we don’t need to reach for weightier or more complex technology to do something like this, which is actually visually pretty simple. Sliding 3D Image Frames In CSS by Temani Afif — This one isn’t rife with new CSS features, but that almost makes it more mind blowing to me. In the HTML is only an <img> but the end result is a sliding-door on a 3D box that slides up to reveal the photo. This requires multiple backgrounds including a conic-gradient, a box-shadow and very exotic clip-path, not to mention a transition for the movement. ⭐️ Carousel Configurator by the Chrome Gang — This one is wild. It only works in Google Chrome Canary because of experimental features. Scrolling snapping is there of course, and that’s neat and fundamental to carousels, but the other three features are, as I said, wild. (1) a ::scroll-button which appends, apparently, a fully interactive button that advances scroll by one page. (2) a ::scroll-marker and group pseudo element which are apparently a replacement for a scrollbar and are instead fully interactive stated buttons that represent how many pages a scrolling container has. (3) an interactivity: inert; declaration which you can apply within an animation-timeline such that off-screen parts of the carousel are not interactive. All this seems extremely experimental but I’m here for it. Hide a header when scrolling down, show it again when scrolling up by Bramus Van Damme — With scroll-driven animations, you can “detect” if a page is being scrolled up or down, and in this case set the value of custom properties based on that information. Then with style() queries, set other styles, like hiding or showing a header. The big trick here is persisting the styles even when not scrolling, which involves an infinite transition-delay. This is the magic that keeps the header hidden until you scroll back up. Center Items in First Row with CSS Grid by Ryan Mulligan — When you’re using CSS Grid, for the most part, you set up grid lines and place items exactly along those grid lines. That’s why it’s weird to see “staggered” looking layouts, which is what it looks like when one row of items doesn’t line up exactly with the one below it. But if you just make twice as many columns as you need and offset by one when you need to, you’ve got this kind of control. The trick is figuring out when.

    A friend DMs Lee Meyer a CodePen by Manuel Schaller containing a pure CSS simulation of one of the world’s earliest arcade games, Pong, with both paddles participating automatically, in an endless loop. The demo reminds Lee of an arcade machine in attract mode awaiting a coin, and the iconic imagery awakens muscle memory from his misspent childhood, causing him to search his pocket in which he finds the token a spooky shopkeeper gave him last year at the CSS tricks stall in the haunted carnival. The token gleams like a power-up in the light of his laptop, which has a slot he never noticed. He feeds the token into the slot, and the CodePen reloads itself. A vertical range input and a life counter appear, allowing him to control the left paddle and play the game in Chrome using a cocktail of modern and experimental CSS features to implement collision detection in CSS animations. He recalls the spooky shopkeeper’s warning that playing with these features has driven some developers to madness, but the shopkeeper’s voice in Lee’s head whispers: “Too late, we are already playing.”

    So, maybe the experience of using modern CSS to add collision detection and interactivity to an animation wasn’t as much like a screenplay sponsored by CSS as I depicted in the intro above — but it did feel like magic compared to what Alex Walker had to go through in 2013 to achieve a similar effect. Hilariously, he describes his implementation as “a glittering city of hacks built on the banks of the ol’ Hack River. On the Planet Hack.“ Alex’s version of CSS Pong cleverly combines checkbox hacks, sibling selectors, and :hover, whereas the CodePen below uses style queries to detect collisions. I feel it’s a nice illustration of how far CSS has come, and a testament to increased power and expressiveness of CSS more than a decade later. It shows how much power we get when combining new CSS features — in this case, that includes style queries, animatable custom properties, and animation timelines. The future CSS features of inline conditionals and custom functions might be able to simplify this code more.
    CodePen Embed Fallback Collision detection with style queries
    Interactive CSS animations with elements ricocheting off each other seems more plausible in 2025 and the code is somewhat sensible. While it’s unnecessary to implement Pong in CSS, and the CSS Working Group probably hasn’t been contemplating how to make that particular niche task easier, the increasing flexibility and power of CSS reinforce my suspicion that one day it will be a lifestyle choice whether to achieve any given effect with scripting or CSS.
    The demo is a similar number of lines of CSS to Alex’s 2013 implementation, but it didn’t feel much like a hack. It’s a demo of modern CSS features working together in the way I expected after reading the instruction booklet. Sometimes when reading introductory articles about the new features we are getting in CSS, it’s hard to appreciate how game-changing they are till you see several features working together. As often happens when pushing the boundaries of a technology, we are going to bump up against the current limitations of style queries and animations. But it’s all in good fun, and we’ll learn about these CSS features in more detail than if we had not attempted this crazy experiment.
    It does seem to work, and my 12-year-old and 7-year-old have both playtested it on my phone and laptop, so it gets the “works on Lee’s devices” seal of quality. Also, since Chrome now supports controlling animations using range inputs, we can make our game playable on mobile, unlike the 2013 version, which relied on :hover. Temani Afif provides a great explanation of how and why view progress timelines can be used to style anything based on the value of a range input.
    Using style queries to detect if the paddle hit the ball
    The ball follows a fixed path, and whether the player’s paddle intersects with the ball when it reaches our side is the only input we have into whether it continues its predetermined bouncy loop or the screen flashes red as the life counter goes down till we see the “Game Over” screen with the option to play again.
    This type of interactivity is what game designers call a quick time event. It’s still a game for sure, but five months ago, when I was young and naive, I mused in my article on animation timelines that the animation timeline feature could open the door for advanced games and interactive experiences in CSS. I wrote that a video game is just a “hyper-interactive animation.” Indeed, the above experiment shows that the new features in CSS allow us to respond to user input in sophisticated ways, but the demo also clarifies the difference between the kind of interactivity we can expect from the current incarnation of CSS versus scripting. The above experiment is more like if Pong were a game inside the old-school arcade game Dragon’s Lair, which was one giant quick time event. It only works because there are limited possible outcomes, but they are certainly less limited than what we used to be able to achieve in CSS.
    Since we know collision detection with the paddle is the only opportunity for the user to have a say in what happens next, let’s focus on that implementation. It will require more mental gymnastics than I would like, since container style queries only allow for name-value pairs with the same syntax as feature queries, meaning we can’t use “greater than” or “less than” operators when comparing numeric values like we do with container size queries which follow the same syntax as @media size queries.
    The workaround below allows us to create style queries based on the ball position being in or out of the range of the paddle. If the ball hits our side, then by default, the play field will flash red and temporarily unpause the animation that decrements the life counter (more on that later). But if the ball hits our side and is within range of the paddle, we leave the life-decrementing animation paused, and make the field background green while the ball hits the paddle. Since we don’t have “greater than” or “less than” operators in style queries, we (ab)use the min() function. If the result equals the first argument then that argument is less than or equal to the second; otherwise it’s greater than the second argument. It’s logical but made me wish for better comparison operators in style queries. Nevertheless, I was impressed that style queries allow the collision detection to be fairly readable, if a little more verbose than I would like.
    body { --int-ball-position-x: round(down, var(--ball-position-x)); --min-ball-position-y-and-top-of-paddle: min(var(--ball-position-y) + var(--ball-height), var(--ping-position)); --min-ball-position-y-and-bottom-of-paddle: min(var(--ball-position-y), var(--ping-position) + var(--paddle-height)); } @container style(--int-ball-position-x: var(--ball-left-boundary)) { .screen { --lives-decrement: running; .field { background: red; } } } @container style(--min-ball-position-y-and-top-of-paddle: var(--ping-position)) and style(--min-ball-position-y-and-bottom-of-paddle: var(--ball-position-y)) and style(--int-ball-position-x: var(--ball-left-boundary)) { .screen { --lives-decrement: paused; .field { background: green; } } } Responding to collisions
    Now that we can style our playing field based on whether the paddle hits the ball, we want to decrement the life counter if our paddle misses the ball, and display “Game Over” when we run out of lives. One way to achieve side effects in CSS is by pausing and unpausing keyframe animations that run forwards. These days, we can style things based on custom properties, which we can set in animations. Using this fact, we can take the power of paused animations to another level.
    body { animation: ball 8s infinite linear, lives 80ms forwards steps(4) var(--lives-decrement); --lives-decrement: paused; } .lives::after { content: var(--lives); } @keyframes lives { 0% { --lives: "3"; } 25% { --lives: "2"; } 75% { --lives: "1"; } 100% { --lives: "0"; } } @container style(--int-ball-position-x: var(--ball-left-boundary)) { .screen { --lives-decrement: running; .field { background: red; } } } @container style(--min-ball-position-y-and-top-of-paddle: var(--ping-position)) and style(--min-ball-position-y-and-bottom-of-paddle: var(--ball-position-y)) and style(--int-ball-position-x: 8) { .screen { --lives-decrement: paused; .field { background: green; } } } @container style(--lives: '0') { .field { display: none; } .game-over { display: flex; } } So when the ball hits the wall and isn’t in range of the paddle, the lives-decrementing animation is unpaused long enough to let it complete one step. Once it reaches zero we hide the play field and display the “Game Over” screen. What’s fascinating about this part of the experiment is that it shows that, using style queries, all properties become indirectly possible to control via animations, even when working with non-animatable properties. And this applies to properties that control whether other animations play. This article touches on why play state deliberately isn’t animatable and could be dangerous to animate, but we know what we are doing, right?
    Full disclosure: The play state approach did lead to hidden complexity in the choice of duration of the animations. I knew that if I chose too long a duration for the life-decrementing counter, it might not have time to proceed to the next step while the ball was hitting the wall, but if I chose too short a duration, missing the ball once might cause the player to lose more than one life.
    I made educated guesses of suitable durations for the ball bouncing and life decrementing, and I expected that when working with fixed-duration predictable animations, the life counter would either always work or always fail. I didn’t expect that my first attempt at the implementation intermittently failed to decrement the life counter at the same point in the animation loop. Setting the durations of both these related animations to multiples of eight seems to fix the problem, but why would predetermined animations exhibit unpredictable behavior?
    Forefeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame
    I have theories as to why the unpredictability of the collision detection seemed to be fixed by setting the ball animation to eight seconds and the lives animation to 80 milliseconds. Again, pushing CSS to its limits forces us to think deeper about how it’s working.
    CSS appears to suffer from timer drift, meaning if you set a keyframes animation to last for one second, it will sometimes take slightly under or over one second. When there is a different rate of change between the ball-bouncing and life-losing, it would make sense that the potential discrepancy between the two would be pronounced and lead to unpredictable collision detection. When the rate of change in both animations is the same, they would suffer about equally from timer drift, meaning the frames still synchronize predictably. Or at least I’m hoping the chance they don’t becomes negligible. Alex’s 2013 version of Pong uses translate3d() to move the ball even though it only moves in 2D. Alex recommends this whenever possible “for efficient animation rendering, offloading processing to the GPU for smoother visual effects.” Doing this may have been an alternative fix if it leads to more precise animation timing. There are tradeoffs so I wasn’t willing to go down that rabbit hole of trying to tune the animation performance in this article — but it could be an interesting focus for future research into CSS collision detection. Maybe style queries take a varying amount of time to kick in, leading to some form of a race condition. It is possible that making the ball-bouncing animation slower made this problem less likely. Maybe the bug remains lurking in the shadows somewhere. What did I expect from a hack I achieved using a magic token from a spooky shopkeeper? Haven’t I seen any eighties movie ever? Outro
    You finish reading the article, and feel sure that the author’s rationale for his supposed fix for the bug is hogwash. Clearly, Lee has been driven insane by the allure of overpowering new CSS features, whereas you respect the power of CSS, but you also respect its limitations. You sit down to spend a few minutes with the collision detection CodePen to prove it is still broken, but then find other flaws in the collision detection, and you commence work on a fork that will be superior. Hey, speaking of timer drift, how is it suddenly 1 a.m.? Only a crazy person would stay up that late playing with CSS when they have to work the next day. “Madness,” repeats the spooky shopkeeper inside your head, and his laughter echoes somewhere in the night.
    Roll the credits
    This looping Pong CSS animation by Manuel Schaller gave me an amazing basis for adding the collision detection. His twitching paddle animations help give the illusion of playing against a computer opponent, so forking his CodePen let me focus on implementing the collision detection rather than reinventing Pong.
    This author is grateful to the junior testing team, comprised of his seven-year-old and twelve-year-old, who declared the CSS Pong implementation “pretty cool.” They also suggested the green and red flashes to signal collisions and misses.

    The last few decades have witnessed a remarkable evolution in the field of computing power. From the early days of room-sized computers with minimal processing capabilities to the modern era of pocket-sized devices with immense computational power, the progress has been exponential. This exponential growth in computing power is often attributed to Moore’s Law, a principle that has shaped the technology industry for over five decades. Understanding Moore’s Law is crucial in comprehending the rapid advancements in computing and predicting the future of this ever-evolving field.
    Understanding Moore’s Law: Definition and Origin
    Moore’s Law, formulated by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, is a principle that states the number of transistors on a microchip doubles approximately every two years, while the cost is halved. This law has been a driving force behind the rapid advancement of technology, as it sets the pace for the development of faster, smaller, and more efficient electronic devices. Moore initially observed this trend in 1965, and his prediction has held remarkably true for several decades, guiding the industry in its pursuit of ever-increasing computing power.
    The Mathematical Equation Behind Moore’s Law
    While Moore’s Law is often discussed in terms of its observations and implications, there is also a mathematical equation that underlies this phenomenon. The equation that describes Moore’s Law can be expressed as follows: N = N₀ * 2^(t/T), where N represents the number of transistors on a microchip at a given time, N₀ is the initial number of transistors, t is the time elapsed, and T is the doubling time. This equation demonstrates the exponential growth of transistors on a chip, as the number of transistors doubles every T years. It provides a quantitative understanding of the rapid advancement of computing power and allows for predictions about future technological developments.
    An Exploration of Technology Scaling and Transistors
    To comprehend the implications of Moore’s Law, it is essential to delve into the concepts of technology scaling and transistors. Technology scaling refers to the process of shrinking the size of transistors on a microchip, allowing for more transistors to be packed into the same space. This scaling leads to increased computational power and improved performance, as smaller transistors enable faster switching speeds and reduced power consumption. Transistors, the fundamental building blocks of electronic devices, are responsible for controlling the flow of electrical current within a circuit. As the number of transistors increases, more complex computations can be performed, leading to enhanced processing capabilities and the ability to handle more data. The continuous advancement in the scaling of transistors has been a crucial factor in the exponential growth of computing power.
    Implications of Moore’s Law on Computing Industry
    The impact of Moore’s Law on the computing industry cannot be overstated. It has provided a roadmap for technological progress, shaping the strategies and investments of companies in the development of new products. The doubling of transistors every two years has led to the creation of smaller and more powerful electronic devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and high-performance computing systems. This increased computing power has revolutionized various sectors, including healthcare, finance, education, and entertainment, enabling the development of innovative applications and solutions. Moore’s Law has also driven competition among technology companies, as they strive to stay ahead by constantly improving their products and pushing the boundaries of computing power.
    Challenges to the Continuation of Moore’s Law
    Despite its remarkable track record, Moore’s Law is facing challenges that threaten its continuation. One of the major obstacles is the physical limitations of semiconductor technology. As transistors become increasingly small, quantum effects and other physical phenomena start to affect their performance. Additionally, the cost of research and development required to keep up with Moore’s Law is escalating, making it more difficult for companies to invest in new technologies. The limitations of traditional silicon-based technology and the increasing complexity of chip manufacturing pose significant hurdles to sustaining the historical rate of progress. Overcoming these challenges will require innovations in materials, manufacturing techniques, and alternative computing architectures.
    Alternatives to Moore’s Law: Post-Moore Computing
    As the limitations of Moore’s Law become more apparent, researchers are exploring alternative approaches to continue the trend of increasing computing power. Post-Moore Computing encompasses a range of technologies and concepts that aim to overcome the physical limitations of traditional transistor scaling. This includes innovations such as new materials like graphene and carbon nanotubes, novel computing architectures like neuromorphic and quantum computing, and advancements in software optimization techniques. These alternative paths offer the potential for continued progress in computing power beyond the limitations of Moore’s Law. While these technologies are still in their early stages, they hold the promise of ushering in a new era of computing and enabling further advancements in various fields.
    The Future of Computing Power
    The future of computing power is both exciting and uncertain. While the challenges to sustaining Moore’s Law are significant, the industry is continuously pushing the boundaries of technology to find new solutions. Whether through advancements in traditional semiconductor technology or the adoption of post-Moore computing paradigms, the quest for greater computing power will likely persist. The evolution of computing power has transformed the world we live in, and it will continue to shape our lives in ways we cannot yet fully comprehend. As we embark on this journey into the future, one thing is certain: the law of computing power will remain a driving force behind technological progress for years to come.

    Comparing visual artifacts can be a powerful, if fickle, approach to automated testing. Playwright makes this seem simple for websites, but the details might take a little finessing.
    Recent downtime prompted me to scratch an itch that had been plaguing me for a while: The style sheet of a website I maintain has grown just a little unwieldy as we’ve been adding code while exploring new features. Now that we have a better idea of the requirements, it’s time for internal CSS refactoring to pay down some of our technical debt, taking advantage of modern CSS features (like using CSS nesting for more obvious structure). More importantly, a cleaner foundation should make it easier to introduce that dark mode feature we’re sorely lacking so we can finally respect users’ preferred color scheme.
    However, being of the apprehensive persuasion, I was reluctant to make large changes for fear of unwittingly introducing bugs. I needed something to guard against visual regressions while refactoring — except that means snapshot testing, which is notoriously slow and brittle.
    In this context, snapshot testing means taking screenshots to establish a reliable baseline against which we can compare future results. As we’ll see, those artifacts are influenced by a multitude of factors that might not always be fully controllable (e.g. timing, variable hardware resources, or randomized content). We also have to maintain state between test runs, i.e. save those screenshots, which complicates the setup and means our test code alone doesn’t fully describe expectations.
    Having procrastinated without a more agreeable solution revealing itself, I finally set out to create what I assumed would be a quick spike. After all, this wouldn’t be part of the regular test suite; just a one-off utility for this particular refactoring task.
    Fortunately, I had vague recollections of past research and quickly rediscovered Playwright’s built-in visual comparison feature. Because I try to select dependencies carefully, I was glad to see that Playwright seems not to rely on many external packages.
    Setup
    The recommended setup with npm init playwright@latest does a decent job, but my minimalist taste had me set everything up from scratch instead. This do-it-yourself approach also helped me understand how the different pieces fit together.
    Given that I expect snapshot testing to only be used on rare occasions, I wanted to isolate everything in a dedicated subdirectory, called test/visual; that will be our working directory from here on out. We’ll start with package.json to declare our dependencies, adding a few helper scripts (spoiler!) while we’re at it:
    { "scripts": { "test": "playwright test", "report": "playwright show-report", "update": "playwright test --update-snapshots", "reset": "rm -r ./playwright-report ./test-results ./viz.test.js-snapshots || true" }, "devDependencies": { "@playwright/test": "^1.49.1" } } If you don’t want node_modules hidden in some subdirectory but also don’t want to burden the root project with this rarely-used dependency, you might resort to manually invoking npm install --no-save @playwright/test in the root directory when needed.
    With that in place, npm install downloads Playwright. Afterwards, npx playwright install downloads a range of headless browsers. (We’ll use npm here, but you might prefer a different package manager and task runner.)
    We define our test environment via playwright.config.js with about a dozen basic Playwright settings:
    import { defineConfig, devices } from "@playwright/test"; let BROWSERS = ["Desktop Firefox", "Desktop Chrome", "Desktop Safari"]; let BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8000"; let SERVER = "cd ../../dist && python3 -m http.server"; let IS_CI = !!process.env.CI; export default defineConfig({ testDir: "./", fullyParallel: true, forbidOnly: IS_CI, retries: 2, workers: IS_CI ? 1 : undefined, reporter: "html", webServer: { command: SERVER, url: BASE_URL, reuseExistingServer: !IS_CI }, use: { baseURL: BASE_URL, trace: "on-first-retry" }, projects: BROWSERS.map(ua => ({ name: ua.toLowerCase().replaceAll(" ", "-"), use: { ...devices[ua] } })) }); Here we expect our static website to already reside within the root directory’s dist folder and to be served at localhost:8000 (see SERVER; I prefer Python there because it’s widely available). I’ve included multiple browsers for illustration purposes. Still, we might reduce that number to speed things up (thus our simple BROWSERS list, which we then map to Playwright’s more elaborate projects data structure). Similarly, continuous integration is YAGNI for my particular scenario, so that whole IS_CI dance could be discarded.
    Capture and compare
    Let’s turn to the actual tests, starting with a minimal sample.test.js file:
    import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test"; test("home page", async ({ page }) => { await page.goto("/"); await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(); }); npm test executes this little test suite (based on file-name conventions). The initial run always fails because it first needs to create baseline snapshots against which subsequent runs compare their results. Invoking npm test once more should report a passing test.
    Changing our site, e.g. by recklessly messing with build artifacts in dist, should make the test fail again. Such failures will offer various options to compare expected and actual visuals:
    We can also inspect those baseline snapshots directly: Playwright creates a folder for screenshots named after the test file (sample.test.js-snapshots in this case), with file names derived from the respective test’s title (e.g. home-page-desktop-firefox.png).
    Generating tests
    Getting back to our original motivation, what we want is a test for every page. Instead of arduously writing and maintaining repetitive tests, we’ll create a simple web crawler for our website and have tests generated automatically; one for each URL we’ve identified.
    Playwright’s global setup enables us to perform preparatory work before test discovery begins: Determine those URLs and write them to a file. Afterward, we can dynamically generate our tests at runtime.
    While there are other ways to pass data between the setup and test-discovery phases, having a file on disk makes it easy to modify the list of URLs before test runs (e.g. temporarily ignoring irrelevant pages).
    Site map
    The first step is to extend playwright.config.js by inserting globalSetup and exporting two of our configuration values:
    export let BROWSERS = ["Desktop Firefox", "Desktop Chrome", "Desktop Safari"]; export let BASE_URL = "http://localhost:8000"; // etc. export default defineConfig({ // etc. globalSetup: require.resolve("./setup.js") }); Although we’re using ES modules here, we can still rely on CommonJS-specific APIs like require.resolve and __dirname. It appears there’s some Babel transpilation happening in the background, so what’s actually being executed is probably CommonJS? Such nuances sometimes confuse me because it isn’t always obvious what’s being executed where.
    We can now reuse those exported values within a newly created setup.js, which spins up a headless browser to crawl our site (just because that’s easier here than using a separate HTML parser):
    import { BASE_URL, BROWSERS } from "./playwright.config.js"; import { createSiteMap, readSiteMap } from "./sitemap.js"; import playwright from "@playwright/test"; export default async function globalSetup(config) { // only create site map if it doesn't already exist try { readSiteMap(); return; } catch(err) {} // launch browser and initiate crawler let browser = playwright.devices[BROWSERS[0]].defaultBrowserType; browser = await playwright[browser].launch(); let page = await browser.newPage(); await createSiteMap(BASE_URL, page); await browser.close(); } This is fairly boring glue code; the actual crawling is happening within sitemap.js:
    createSiteMap determines URLs and writes them to disk. readSiteMap merely reads any previously created site map from disk. This will be our foundation for dynamically generating tests. (We’ll see later why this needs to be synchronous.) Fortunately, the website in question provides a comprehensive index of all pages, so my crawler only needs to collect unique local URLs from that index page:
    function extractLocalLinks(baseURL) { let urls = new Set(); let offset = baseURL.length; for(let { href } of document.links) { if(href.startsWith(baseURL)) { let path = href.slice(offset); urls.add(path); } } return Array.from(urls); } Wrapping that in a more boring glue code gives us our sitemap.js:
    import { readFileSync, writeFileSync } from "node:fs"; import { join } from "node:path"; let ENTRY_POINT = "/topics"; let SITEMAP = join(__dirname, "./sitemap.json"); export async function createSiteMap(baseURL, page) { await page.goto(baseURL + ENTRY_POINT); let urls = await page.evaluate(extractLocalLinks, baseURL); let data = JSON.stringify(urls, null, 4); writeFileSync(SITEMAP, data, { encoding: "utf-8" }); } export function readSiteMap() { try { var data = readFileSync(SITEMAP, { encoding: "utf-8" }); } catch(err) { if(err.code === "ENOENT") { throw new Error("missing site map"); } throw err; } return JSON.parse(data); } function extractLocalLinks(baseURL) { // etc. } The interesting bit here is that extractLocalLinks is evaluated within the browser context — thus we can rely on DOM APIs, notably document.links — while the rest is executed within the Playwright environment (i.e. Node).
    Tests
    Now that we have our list of URLs, we basically just need a test file with a simple loop to dynamically generate corresponding tests:
    for(let url of readSiteMap()) { test(`page at ${url}`, async ({ page }) => { await page.goto(url); await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(); }); } This is why readSiteMap had to be synchronous above: Playwright doesn’t currently support top-level await within test files.
    In practice, we’ll want better error reporting for when the site map doesn’t exist yet. Let’s call our actual test file viz.test.js:
    import { readSiteMap } from "./sitemap.js"; import { test, expect } from "@playwright/test"; let sitemap = []; try { sitemap = readSiteMap(); } catch(err) { test("site map", ({ page }) => { throw new Error("missing site map"); }); } for(let url of sitemap) { test(`page at ${url}`, async ({ page }) => { await page.goto(url); await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(); }); } Getting here was a bit of a journey, but we’re pretty much done… unless we have to deal with reality, which typically takes a bit more tweaking.
    Exceptions
    Because visual testing is inherently flaky, we sometimes need to compensate via special casing. Playwright lets us inject custom CSS, which is often the easiest and most effective approach. Tweaking viz.test.js…
    // etc. import { join } from "node:path"; let OPTIONS = { stylePath: join(__dirname, "./viz.tweaks.css") }; // etc. await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(OPTIONS); // etc. … allows us to define exceptions in viz.tweaks.css:
    /* suppress state */ main a:visited { color: var(--color-link); } /* suppress randomness */ iframe[src$="/articles/signals-reactivity/demo.html"] { visibility: hidden; } /* suppress flakiness */ body:has(h1 a[href="/wip/unicode-symbols/"]) { main tbody > tr:last-child > td:first-child { font-size: 0; visibility: hidden; } } :has() strikes again!
    Page vs. viewport
    At this point, everything seemed hunky-dory to me, until I realized that my tests didn’t actually fail after I had changed some styling. That’s not good! What I hadn’t taken into account is that .toHaveScreenshot only captures the viewport rather than the entire page. We can rectify that by further extending playwright.config.js.
    export let WIDTH = 800; export let HEIGHT = WIDTH; // etc. projects: BROWSERS.map(ua => ({ name: ua.toLowerCase().replaceAll(" ", "-"), use: { ...devices[ua], viewport: { width: WIDTH, height: HEIGHT } } })) …and then by adjusting viz.test.js‘s test-generating loop:
    import { WIDTH, HEIGHT } from "./playwright.config.js"; // etc. for(let url of sitemap) { test(`page at ${url}`, async ({ page }) => { checkSnapshot(url, page); }); } async function checkSnapshot(url, page) { // determine page height with default viewport await page.setViewportSize({ width: WIDTH, height: HEIGHT }); await page.goto(url); await page.waitForLoadState("networkidle"); let height = await page.evaluate(getFullHeight); // resize viewport for before snapshotting await page.setViewportSize({ width: WIDTH, height: Math.ceil(height) }); await page.waitForLoadState("networkidle"); await expect(page).toHaveScreenshot(OPTIONS); } function getFullHeight() { return document.documentElement.getBoundingClientRect().height; } Note that we’ve also introduced a waiting condition, holding until there’s no network traffic for a while in a crude attempt to account for stuff like lazy-loading images.
    Be aware that capturing the entire page is more resource-intensive and doesn’t always work reliably: You might have to deal with layout shifts or run into timeouts for long or asset-heavy pages. In other words: This risks exacerbating flakiness.
    Conclusion
    So much for that quick spike. While it took more effort than expected (I believe that’s called “software development”), this might actually solve my original problem now (not a common feature of software these days). Of course, shaving this yak still leaves me itchy, as I have yet to do the actual work of scratching CSS without breaking anything. Then comes the real challenge: Retrofitting dark mode to an existing website. I just might need more downtime.

    Docker has changed the way we package and distribute applications, but I only truly appreciated its power when I needed to share a project with a friend.
    Initially, we used docker save and docker load to transfer the image, which worked fine but was cumbersome.
    Then, while browsing the Docker documentation, I discovered how easy it was to push images to Docker Hub.
    That was a game-changer! Now, I push my final builds to Docker Hub the moment they're done, allowing my clients and collaborators to pull and run them effortlessly.
    In this guide, I’ll walk you through building, tagging, pushing, and running a Docker image.
    To keep things simple, we’ll create a minimal test image.
    💡If you're new to Docker and want a deep dive, check out our DevOps course, which covers Docker extensively. We’ve covered Docker installation in countless tutorials as well, so we’ll skip that part here and jump straight into writing a Dockerfile.Writing a simple Dockerfile
    A Dockerfile defines how to build your image. It contains a series of instructions that tell Docker how to construct the image layer by layer.
    Let’s create a minimal one:
    # Use an official lightweight image FROM alpine:latest # Install a simple utility RUN apk add --no-cache figlet # Set the default command CMD ["/usr/bin/figlet", "Docker is Fun!"]FROM alpine:latest – This sets the base image to Alpine Linux, a minimal and lightweight distribution. RUN apk add --no-cache figlet – Installs the figlet package using Alpine's package manager (apk), with the --no-cache option to keep the image clean. CMD ["/usr/bin/figlet", "Docker is Fun!"] – Specifies the default command that will run when a container is started. Save this file as Dockerfile in an empty directory.
    Building the docker image
    To build the image, navigate to the directory containing the Dockerfile and run:
    docker build -t <cool-image-name> .docker build – The command to build an image. -t cool-image-name – The -t flag assigns a tag (cool-image-name) to the image, making it easier to reference later. . – The dot tells Docker to look for the Dockerfile in the current directory. Once completed, list your images to confirm:
    docker imagesRunning the docker image
    To run the container and see the output:
    docker run <cool-image-name>You should see an ASCII text saying, “Docker is fun!”
    Tagging the Image
    Before pushing to a registry, we need to tag the image with our Docker Hub username:
    docker tag <cool-image-name> your-dockerhub-username/cool-image-name:latestdocker tag – Creates an alias for the image. your-dockerhub-username/cool-image-name:latest – This follows the format username/repository-name:tag. The latest tag is used as a default version identifier. List images again to see the updated tag:
    docker imagesPushing to Docker Hub
    First, log in to Docker Hub:
    docker login💡If you’re using two-factor authentication, you’ll need to generate an access token from Docker Hub and use that instead of your password.You will be prompted to enter your Docker Hub username and password.
    Once authenticated, you can push the image:
    docker push your-dockerhub-username/cool-image-name:latestAnd that’s it! Your image is now live on Docker Hub.
    Anyone can pull and run it with:
    docker pull your-dockerhub-username/cool-image-name:latest docker run your-dockerhub-username/cool-image-nameFeels great, doesn’t it?
    Alternatives to Docker Hub
    Docker Hub is not the only place to store images. Here are some alternatives:
    GitHub Container Registry (GHCR.io) – If you already use GitHub, this is a great option as it integrates with GitHub Actions and repositories seamlessly. Google Container Registry (GCR.io) – Ideal for those using Google Cloud services. It allows private and public image hosting with tight integration into GCP workloads. Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) – Part of AWS, ECR is an excellent option for those using AWS infrastructure, providing strong security and IAM-based authentication. Self-hosted Docker Registry
    If you need complete control over your images, you can set up your own registry by running:
    docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --name registry registry:2This starts a private registry on port 5000, allowing you to store and retrieve images without relying on external providers.
    You can read more about this in docker's official documentation to host your own docker registry.
    Final thoughts
    Building and pushing Docker images has completely streamlined how I distribute my projects.
    What once felt like a tedious process is now as simple as writing a Dockerfile, tagging an image, and running a single push command.
    No more manual file transfers or complex setup steps, it’s all automated and ready to be pulled anywhere.
    However, Docker Hub's free tier limits private repositories to just one. For personal projects, that’s a bit restrictive, which is why I’m more inclined toward self-hosting my own Docker registry.
    It gives me complete control, avoids limitations, and ensures I don’t have to worry about third-party policies.
    What about you? Which container registry do you use for your projects? Have you considered self-hosting your own registry? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

    Que: How do I go to the root directory in Linux command line?
    The simple answer is, you type the cd command like this:
    cd /That will put you in the root directory, which is the starting point for the Linux directory structure.
    If you want to go to the /root directory (i.e. home directory of the root user), you'll have to use:
    cd /rootI know that a new Linux users can be confused with the notation of root directory (/) and the /root directory.
    Understand the difference between / and /root
    New Linux users often confuse two important concepts: the root directory (/) and the root user's home directory (/root). They sound similar but serve different purposes:
    The root directory (/):
    This is the primary directory that contains all other directories and files on your Linux system It's the starting point of the filesystem hierarchy All paths in Linux begin from this location You can access it using cd / regardless of your current location The root user's home directory (/root):
    This is the home directory for the root user (the superuser with all the access) It's located at /root (a directory inside the root directory) Regular users may or may not have permission to access this directory Learn more about the Linux directory structure in the GNU/Linux filesystem documentation.
    💡Navigating to the root directory doesn't require special privileges. A non-root user can also enter the root directory. However, modifying files there requires root permissions.Understanding / as root directory vs directory separator
    The forward slash (/) in Linux serves dual purposes, which can be confusing for newcomers:
    As the root directory:
    When used alone or at the beginning of a path, it refers to the root directory Example: cd / or cd /home/user As a directory separator:
    When used between directory names, it separates different levels in the path Example: In /home/user/Documents, the slashes separate the directories This dual usage is important to understand for proper navigation. When you see a path like /var/log/syslog:
    The first / indicates we're starting from the root directory The subsequent / characters are separators between directories # Go to a directory using an absolute path (starting from root) cd /var/log # Go to a directory using a relative path (from current location) cd Documents/Projects💡Use special navigation shortcuts
    Linux provides handy shortcuts for directory navigation:
    cd / # Go to root directory cd ~ # Go to your home directory cd - # Go to previous directory cd .. # Go up one level cd ../.. # Go up two levelsThese shortcuts save time and make navigation more efficient.
    Conclusion
    Understanding how to navigate to and from the root directory is fundamental to working effectively in Linux. The root directory (/) serves as the foundation of your filesystem, distinct from the root user's home directory (/root).
    By mastering the concepts of absolute vs relative paths and understanding the dual role of the forward slash, you'll be well-equipped to navigate your Linux system confidently.

    Kubernetes is a powerful tool for managing containerized applications, and one of its key features is the ability to run specific workloads across your cluster. One such workload is the DaemonSet, a Kubernetes API object designed to ensure that a copy of a Pod runs on every Node in your cluster.
    In this article, we’ll explore what DaemonSets are, how they work, and when to use them.
    What is a Kubernetes DaemonSet?
    A DaemonSet is a Kubernetes object that ensures a specific Pod runs on every Node in your cluster. When new Nodes are added, the DaemonSet automatically schedules the Pod on them. Similarly, when Nodes are removed, the Pods are cleaned up. This makes DaemonSets ideal for running background services that need to be present on every Node, such as monitoring agents, log collectors, or backup tools.
    Key Features of DaemonSets:
    Automatic Pod Scheduling: DaemonSets ensure that a Pod runs on every Node, even as Nodes are added or removed. Tolerations: DaemonSets can schedule Pods on Nodes with resource constraints or other restrictions that would normally prevent scheduling. Node-Specific Customization: You can configure DaemonSets to run Pods only on specific Nodes using labels and selectors. When Should You Use a DaemonSet?
    DaemonSets are particularly useful for workloads that need to run on every Node in your cluster. Here are some common use cases:
    Node Monitoring Agents: Tools like Prometheus Node Exporter or Datadog agents need to run on every Node to collect metrics. Log Collection: Services like Fluentd or Logstash can be deployed as DaemonSets to collect logs from each Node. Backup Tools: Backup agents that need to interact with Node-level data can be deployed as DaemonSets to ensure all Nodes are covered. Network Plugins: Tools like Calico or Weave Net that provide networking functionality often run as DaemonSets to ensure they’re present on every Node. Unlike ReplicaSets or Deployments, which schedule Pods based on resource availability, DaemonSets are tied to the number of Nodes in your cluster.
    Example: Deploying a DaemonSet
    Let’s walk through a simple example of deploying a DaemonSet in your Kubernetes cluster. For this tutorial, we’ll use Filebeat, a lightweight log shipper that collects logs and forwards them to Elasticsearch or Logstash.
    You can use Minikube to create a local cluster with three Nodes:
    minikube start --nodes=3 Step 1: Create a DaemonSet Manifest
    Here’s a basic DaemonSet manifest for Filebeat:
    apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: DaemonSet metadata: name: filebeat spec: selector: matchLabels: name: filebeat template: metadata: labels: name: filebeat spec: containers: - name: filebeat image: docker.elastic.co/beats/filebeat:8.10.0 volumeMounts: - name: varlog mountPath: /var/log - name: varlibdockercontainers mountPath: /var/lib/docker/containers readOnly: true volumes: - name: varlog hostPath: path: /var/log - name: varlibdockercontainers hostPath: path: /var/lib/docker/containers Step 2: Apply the Manifest
    Save the manifest to a file filebeat.yaml and apply it to your cluster:
    kubectl apply -f filebeat.yaml Step 3: Verify the DaemonSet
    Check the status of the DaemonSet and the Pods it created:
    kubectl get daemonsets Output:
    NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE NODE SELECTOR AGE filebeat 3 3 3 3 3 <none> 10s For detailed information, run:
    kubectl get pods -o wide Output:
    NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE filebeat-abc12 1/1 Running 0 30s 10.244.1.2 minikube-m02 filebeat-def34 1/1 Running 0 30s 10.244.2.2 minikube-m03 filebeat-ghi56 1/1 Running 0 30s 10.244.0.3 minikube Scoping DaemonSets to Specific Nodes
    Sometimes, you may want to run DaemonSet Pods only on specific Nodes. You can achieve this using nodeSelectors or affinity rules. For example, to run Filebeat only on Nodes labeled with log-collection-enabled=true, update the DaemonSet manifest:
    spec: template: spec: nodeSelector: log-collection-enabled: "true" Then, label the desired Node:
    kubectl label node <node-name> log-collection-enabled=true Apply the updated manifest, and the DaemonSet will only schedule Pods on the labeled Node.
    kubectl apply -f filebeat.yaml Check the DaemonSet status:
    kubectl get daemonsets Output:
    NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE NODE SELECTOR AGE filebeat 1 1 1 1 1 log-collection-enabled=true 1m View the Pod list to confirm the Pod is running on the labeled Node:
    kubectl get pods -o wide Output:
    NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE filebeat-abc12 1/1 Running 0 2m 10.244.1.2 minikube-m02 Scaling a DaemonSet
    DaemonSets are automatically scaled based on the number of Nodes in your cluster. To scale a DaemonSet:
    Add Nodes: New Nodes will automatically run the DaemonSet Pods. Remove Nodes: Pods on removed Nodes will be cleaned up. If you need to temporarily scale a DaemonSet to 0 (e.g., for maintenance), you can patch the DaemonSet with a dummy nodeSelector:
    kubectl patch daemonset <daemonset-name> -p '{"spec": {"nodeSelector": {"dummy": "true"}}}' To scale it back up, remove the dummy selector.
    kubectl patch daemonset filebeat -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"nodeSelector": {}}}}}' DaemonSet Best Practices
    Use DaemonSets for Node-Specific Workloads: Only use DaemonSets when your Pods need to run on every Node or a subset of Nodes.
    Set Restart Policies Correctly: Ensure Pods have a restartPolicy of Always to ensure they restart with the Node. Avoid Manual Pod Management: Don’t manually edit or delete DaemonSet Pods, as this can lead to orphaned Pods. Leverage Rollbacks: Use Kubernetes’ rollback feature to revert DaemonSet changes quickly if something goes wrong. Conclusion
    Whether you’re collecting logs with Filebeat, monitoring Nodes with Prometheus, or managing backups, DaemonSets provide a reliable and scalable solution. By understanding how to create, configure, and manage DaemonSets, you can ensure that your Node-level workloads are always running where they’re needed most.

    Ollama has been a game-changer for running large language models (LLMs) locally, and I've covered quite a few tutorials on setting it up on different devices, including my Raspberry Pi.
    But as I kept experimenting, I realized there was still another fantastic way to run Ollama: inside a Docker container.
    Now, this isn’t exactly breaking news. The first Ollama Docker image was released back in 2023. But until recently, I always used it with a native install.
    It wasn’t until I was working on an Immich tutorial that I stumbled upon NVIDIA Container Toolkit, which allows you to add GPU support to Docker containers.
    That was when I got hooked on the idea of setting up Ollama inside Docker and leveraging GPU acceleration.
    In this guide, I’ll walk you through two ways to run Ollama in Docker with GPU support:
    Using a one liner docker run command. With Docker compose Now, let’s dive in.
    📋Before we get started, if you haven’t installed Docker yet, check out our previous tutorials on setting up Docker on Linux. Prerequisite: Installing Nvidia Container toolkit
    The NVIDIA Container Toolkit includes the NVIDIA Container Runtime and the NVIDIA Container Toolkit plugin for Docker, which enable GPU support inside Docker containers.
    Before installation, make sure that you have already installed the GPU drivers on your specific distro.
    Now, to install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit, follow these steps:
    Enable the NVIDIA CUDA repository on your system by running the following commands in a terminal window: distribution=$(. /etc/os-release;echo $ID$VERSION_ID) curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add - curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list sudo apt updateIf your Nvidia GPU driver is not properly installed, you might encounter some problems when installing nvidia-container-toolkit on your system just like in my case on Debian 12.Install the NVIDIA Container Toolkit by running the following command in a terminal window: sudo apt install -y nvidia-container-toolkit Restart the Docker service to apply the changes: sudo systemctl restart docker Method 1: Running Ollama with Docker run (Quick Method)
    If you just want to spin up Ollama in a container without much hassle, this one-liner will do the trick:
    docker run -d --name ollama -p 11434:11434 -v ollama:/root/.ollama ollama/ollama Or, if you want the GPU support:
    docker run -d --gpus=all -v ollama:/root/.ollama -p 11434:11434 --name ollama ollama/ollamaHere's a breakdown of what's going on with this command:
    docker run -d: Runs the container in detached mode. --name ollama: Names the container "ollama." -p 11434:11434: Maps port 11434 from the container to the host. -v ollama:/root/.ollama: Creates a persistent volume for storing models. ollama/ollama: Uses the official Ollama Docker image. Once the container is running, you can check its status with:
    docker psMethod 2: Running Ollama with Docker compose
    I personally find that docker compose is a more structured approach when setting up a service inside a container, as it's much easier to manage.
    💡If you're setting up Ollama with Open WebUI, I would suggest to use docker volumes instead of bind mounts for a less frustrating experience. We'll start with creating a docker-compose.yml file, to manage the Ollama container:
    version: '3.8' services: ollama: image: ollama/ollama container_name: ollama ports: - "11434:11434" volumes: - ollama:/root/.ollama deploy: resources: reservations: devices: - driver: nvidia count: all capabilities: [gpu] restart: unless-stopped volumes: ollama: With the docker-compose.yml file in place, start the container using:
    docker-compose up -d This will spin up Ollama with GPU acceleration enabled.
    Accessing Ollama in Docker
    Now that we have Ollama running inside a Docker container, how do we interact with it efficiently?
    There are two main ways:
    1. Using the Docker shell
    This is really easy, you can access Ollama container shell by typing:
    docker exec -it ollama <commands>but typing this same command overtime can be tiring. We can create an alias to make it shorter.
    Add this to your .bashrc file:
    echo 'alias ollama="docker exec -it ollama ollama"' >> $HOME/.bashrc source $HOME/.bashrcand since I'm using zsh shell, I'll be using this command:
    echo 'alias ollama="docker exec -it ollama ollama"' >> $HOME/.zshrc Now, instead of typing the full docker exec command, you can just run:
    ollama ps ollama pull llama3 ollama run llama3 This makes interacting with Ollama inside Docker feel just like using a native install.
    2. Using Ollama’s API with Web UI Clients
    Ollama exposes an API on http://localhost:11434, allowing other tools to connect and interact with it.
    If you prefer a graphical user interface (GUI) instead of the command line, you can use several Web UI clients.
    Some popular tools that work with Ollama include:
    Open WebUI – A simple and beautiful frontend for local LLMs. LibreChat – A powerful ChatGPT-like interface supporting multiple backends. We’ve actually covered 12 different tools that provide a Web UI for Ollama.
    Whether you want something lightweight or a full-featured alternative to ChatGPT, there’s a UI that fits your needs.
    Conclusion
    Running Ollama in Docker provides a flexible and efficient way to interact with local AI models, especially when combined with a UI for easy access over a network.
    I’m still tweaking my setup to ensure smooth performance across multiple devices, but so far, it’s working well.
    On another note, diving deeper into NVIDIA Container Toolkit has sparked some interesting ideas. The ability to pass GPU acceleration to Docker containers opens up possibilities beyond just Ollama.
    I’m considering testing it with Jellyfin for hardware-accelerated transcoding, which would be a huge boost for my media server setup.
    Other projects, like Stable Diffusion or AI-powered upscaling, could also benefit from proper GPU passthrough.
    That said, I’d love to hear about your setup! Are you running Ollama in Docker, or do you prefer a native install? Have you tried any Web UI clients, or are you sticking with the command line?

    I came across this awesome article navigator by Jhey Tompkins:
    CodePen Embed Fallback It solved a UX problem I was facing on a project, so I’ve adapted it to the needs of an online course — a “course navigator” if you will — and built upon it. And today I’m going to pick it apart and show you how it all works:
    CodePen Embed Fallback You can see I’m imagining this as some sort of navigation that you might find in an online learning management system that powers an online course. To summarize what this component does, it:
    links to all course lessons, smoothly scrolls to anchored lesson headings, indicates how much of the current lesson has been read, toggles between light and dark modes, and sits fixed at the bottom and collapses on scroll. Also, while not a feature, we won’t be using JavaScript. You might think that’s impossible, but the spate of CSS features that have recently shipped make all of this possible with vanilla CSS, albeit using bleeding-edge techniques that are only fully supported by Chrome at the time I’m writing this. So, crack open the latest version and let’s do this together!
    The HTML
    We’re looking at a disclosure widget (the <details> element) pinned to the bottom of the page with fixed positioning. Behind it? A course lesson (or something of that effect) wrapped in an <article> with ids on the headings for same-page anchoring. Clicking on the disclosure’s <summary> toggles the course navigation, which is wrapped in a ::details-content pseudo-element. This navigation links to other lessons but also scrolls to the aforementioned headings of the current lesson.
    The <summary> contains a label (since it functions as a toggle-disclosure button), the name of the current lesson, the distance scrolled, and a dark mode toggle.
    With me so far?
    <details> <!-- The toggle (flex →) --> <summary> <span><!-- Toggle label --></span> <span><!-- Current lesson + % read --></span> <label><!-- Light/dark-mode toggle --></label> </summary> <!-- ::details-content --> <!-- Course navigation --> <!-- /::details-content --> </details> <article> <h1 id="sectionA">Section A</h1> <p>...</p> <h2 id="sectionB">Section B</h2> <p>...</p> <h2 id="sectionC">Section C</h2> <p>...</p> </article> Getting into position
    First, we’ll place the disclosure with fixed positioning so that it’s pinned to the bottom of the page:
    details { position: fixed; inset: 24px; /* Use as margin */ place-self: end center; /* y x */ } Setting up CSS-only dark mode (the new way)
    There are certain scenarios where dark mode is better for accessibility, especially for the legibility of long-form content, so let’s set that up.
    First, the HTML. We have an ugly checkbox input that’s hidden thanks to its hidden attribute, followed by an <i> which’ll be a better-looking faux checkbox once we’ve sprinkled on some Font Awesome, followed by a <span> for the checkbox’s text label. All of this is then wrapped in an actual <label>, which is wrapped by the <summary>. We wrap the label’s content in a <span> so that flexbox gaps get applied between everything.
    Functionally, even though the checkbox is hidden, it toggles whenever its label is clicked. And on that note, it might be a good idea to place an explicit aria-label on this label, just to be 100% sure that screen readers announce a label, since implicit labels don’t always get picked up.
    <details> <summary> <!-- ... --> <label aria-label="Dark mode"> <input type="checkbox" hidden> <i></i> <span>Dark mode</span> </label> </summary> <!-- ... --> </details> Next we need to put the right icons in there, subject to a little conditional logic. Rather than use Font Awesome’s HTML classes and have to mess around with CSS overwrites, we’ll use Font Awesome’s CSS properties with our rule logic, as follows:
    If the <i> element is followed by (notice the next-sibling combinator) a checked checkbox, we’ll display a checked checkbox icon in it. If it’s followed by an unchecked checkbox, we’ll display an unchecked checkbox icon in it. It’s still the same rule logic even if you don’t use Font Awesome.
    /* Copied from Font Awesome’s CSS */ i::before { font-style: normal; font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"; display: inline-block; width: 1.25em; /* Prevents content shift when swapping to differently sized icons by making them all have the same width (this is equivalent to Font Awesome’s .fa-fw class) */ } /* If followed by a checked checkbox... */ input[type=checkbox]:checked + i::before { content: "\f058"; font-weight: 900; } /* If followed by an unchecked checkbox... */ input[type=checkbox]:not(:checked) + i::before { content: "\f111"; font-weight: 400; } We need to implement the modes at the root level (again, using a little conditional logic). If the root :has the checked checkbox, apply color-scheme: dark. If the root does :not(:has) the unchecked checkbox, then we apply color-scheme: light.
    /* If the root has a checked checkbox... */ :root:has(input[type=checkbox]:checked) { color-scheme: dark; } /* If the root does not have a checked checkbox... */ :root:not(:has(input[type=checkbox]:checked)) { color-scheme: light; } If you toggle the checkbox, your web browser’s UI will already toggle between light and dark color schemes. Now let’s make sure that our demo does the same thing using the light-dark() CSS function, which takes two values — the light mode color and then the dark mode color. You can utilize this function instead of any color data type (later on we’ll even use it within a conic gradient).
    In the demo I’m using the same HSL color throughout but with different lightness values, then flipping the lightness values based on the mode:
    color: light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 90%), hsl(var(--hs) 10%)); background: light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 10%), hsl(var(--hs) 90%)); I don’t think the light-dark() function is any better than swapping out CSS variables, but I don’t believe it’s any worse either. Totally up to you as far as which approach you choose.
    Displaying scroll progress
    Now let’s display the amount read as defined by the scroll progress, first, as what I like to call a “progress pie” and then, second, as a plain-text percentage. These’ll go in the middle part of the <summary>:
    <details> <summary> <!-- ... --> <span> <span id="progress-pie"></span> <span>1. LessonA</span> <span id="progress-percentage"></span> </span> <!-- ... --> </summary> <!-- ... --> </details> What we need is to display the percentage and allow it to “count” as the scroll position changes. Normally, this is squarely in JavaScript territory. But now that we can define our own custom properties, we can establish a variable called --percentage that is formatted as an integer that defaults to a value of 0. This provides CSS with the context it needs to read and interpolate the value between 0 and 100, which is the maximum value we want to support.
    So, first, we define the variable as a custom property:
    @property --percentage { syntax: "<integer>"; inherits: true; initial-value: 0; } Then we define the animation in keyframes so that the value of --percentage is updated from 0 to 100:
    @keyframes updatePercentage { to { --percentage: 100; } } And, finally, we apply the animation on the root element:
    :root { animation: updatePercentage; animation-timeline: scroll(); counter-reset: percentage var(--percentage); } Notice what we’re doing here: this is a scroll-driven animation! By setting the animation-timeline to scroll(), we’re no longer running the animation based on the document’s timeline but instead based on the user’s scroll position. You can dig deeper into scroll timelines in the CSS-Tricks Almanac.
    Since we’re dealing with an integer, we can target the ::before pseudo-element and place the percentage value inside of it using the content property and a little counter() hacking (followed by the percentage symbol):
    #progress-percentage::before { content: counter(percentage) "%"; min-width: 40px; display: inline-block; /* Prevents content shift */ } The progress pie is just as straightforward. It’s a conic gradient made up of two colors that are positioned using 0% and the scroll percentage! This means that you’ll need that --percentage variable as an actual percentage, but you can convert it into such by multiplying it by 1% (calc(var(--percentage) * 1%))!
    #progress-pie { aspect-ratio: 1; background: conic-gradient(hsl(var(--hs) 50%) calc(var(--percentage) * 1%), light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 90%), hsl(var(--hs) 10%)) 0%); border-radius: 50%; /* Make it a circle */ width: 17px; /* Same dimensions as the icons */ } Creating a (good) course navigation
    Now for the table contents containing the nested lists of lesson sections within them, starting with some resets. While there are more resets in the demo and more lines of code overall, two specific resets are vital to the UX of this component.
    First, here’s an example of how the nested lists are marked up:
    <details> <summary> <!-- ... --> </summary> <ol> <li class="active"> <a>LessonA</a> <ol> <li><a href="#sectionA">SectionA</a></li> <li><a href="#sectionB">SectionB</a></li> <li><a href="#sectionC">SectionC</a></li> </ol> </li> <li><a>LessonB</a></li> <li><a>LessonC</a></li> </ol> </details> Let’s reset the list spacing in CSS:
    ol { padding-left: 0; list-style-position: inside; } padding-left: 0 ensures that the parent list and all nested lists snap to the left side of the disclosure, minus any padding you might want to add. Don’t worry about the indentation of nested lists — we have something planned for those. list-style-position: inside ensures that the list markers snap to the side, rather than the text, causing the markers to overflow.
    After that, we slap color: transparent on the ::markers of nested <li> elements since we don’t need the lesson section titles to be numbered. We’re only using nested lists for semantics, and nested numbered lists specifically because a different type of list marker (e.g., bullets) would cause vertical misalignment between the course’s lesson titles and the lesson section titles.
    ol ol li::marker { color: transparent; } Finally, so that users can more easily traverse the current lesson, we’ll dim all list items that aren’t related to the current lesson. It’s a form of emphasizing something by de-emphasizing others:
    details { /* The default color */ color: light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 90%), hsl(var(--hs) 10%)); } /* <li>s without .active that’re direct descendants of the parent <ol> */ ol:has(ol) > li:not(.active) { /* A less intense color */ color: light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 80%), hsl(var(--hs) 20%)); } /* Also */ a { color: inherit; } One more thing… those anchor links scroll users to specific headings, right? So, putting scroll-behavior: smooth on the root to enables smooth scrolling between them. And that percentage-read tracker that we created? Yep, that’ll work here as well.
    :root { scroll-behavior: smooth; /* Smooth anchor scrolling */ scroll-padding-top: 20px; /* A scroll offset, basically */ } Transitioning the disclosure
    Next, let’s transition the opening and closing of the ::details-content pseudo-element. By default, the <details> element snaps open and closed when clicked, but we want a smooth transition instead. Geoff recently detailed how to do this in a comprehensive set of notes about the <details> element, but we’ll break it down together.
    First, we’ll transition from height: 0 to height: auto. This is a brand-new feature in CSS! We start by “opting into” the feature at the root level with interpolate-size: allow-keywords`:
    :root { interpolate-size: allow-keywords; } I recommend setting overflow-y: clip on details::details-content to prevent the content from overflowing the disclosure as it transitions in and out:
    details::details-content { overflow-y: clip; } Another option is sliding the content out and then fading it in (and vice-versa), but you’ll need to be quite specific about the transition’s setup.
    First, for the “before” and “after” states, you’ll need to target both details[open] and details:not([open]), because vaguely targeting details and then overwriting the transitioning styles with details[open] doesn’t allow us to reverse the transition.
    After that, slap the same transition on both but with different values for the transition delays so that the fade happens after when opening but before when closing.
    Finally, you’ll also need to specify which properties are transitioned. We could simply put the all keyword in there, but that is neither performant nor allows us to set the transition durations and delays for each property. So we’ll list them individually instead in a comma-separated list. Notice that we’re specifically transitioning the content-visibility and using the allow-discrete keyword because it is a discrete property. this is why we opted into interpolate-size: allow-keywords earlier.
    details:not([open])::details-content { height: 0; opacity: 0; padding: 0 42px; filter: blur(10px); border-top: 0 solid light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 30%), hsl(var(--hs) 70%)); transition: height 300ms 300ms, padding-top 300ms 300ms, padding-bottom 300ms 300ms, content-visibility 300ms 300ms allow-discrete, filter 300ms 0ms, opacity 300ms 0ms; } details[open]::details-content { height: auto; opacity: 1; padding: 42px; filter: blur(0); border-top: 1px solid light-dark(hsl(var(--hs) 30%), hsl(var(--hs) 70%)); transition: height 300ms 0ms, padding-top 300ms 0ms, padding-bottom 300ms 0ms, content-visibility 300ms 0ms allow-discrete, filter 300ms 300ms, opacity 300ms 300ms; } Giving the summary a label and icons
    Preceding the current lesson’s title, percentage read, and dark mode toggle, the <summary> element needs a label that helps describe what it does. I went with “Navigate course” and included an aria-label saying the same thing so that screen readers didn’t announce all that other stuff.
    <details> <summary aria-label="Navigate course"> <span> <i></i> <span>Navigate course</span> </span> <!-- ... --> </summary> <!-- ... --> </details> In addition, the summary gets display: flex so that we can easily separate the three sections with a gap, which also removes the summary’s default marker, allowing you to use your own. (Again, I’m using Font Awesome in the demo.)
    i::before { width: 1.25em; font-style: normal; display: inline-block; font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free"; } details i::before { content: "\f0cb"; /* fa-list-ol */ } details[open] i::before { content: "\f00d"; /* fa-xmark */ } /* For older Safari */ summary::-webkit-details-marker { display: none; } And finally, if you’re pro-cursor: pointer for most interactive elements, you’ll want to use it on the summary and manually make sure that the checkbox’s label inherits it, as it doesn’t do that automatically.
    summary { cursor: pointer; } label { cursor: inherit; } Giving the disclosure an auto-closure mechanism
    A tiny bit of JavaScript couldn’t hurt though, could it? I know I said this is a no-JavaScript deal, but this one-liner will automatically close the disclosure when the mouse leaves it:
    document.querySelector("details").addEventListener("mouseleave", e => e.target.removeAttribute("open")); Annoying or useful? I’ll let you decide.
    Setting the preferred color scheme automatically
    Setting the preferred color scheme automatically is certainly useful, but if you like to avoid JavaScript wherever possible, I don’t think users will be too mad for not offering this feature. Either way, the following conditional snippet checks if the user’s preferred color scheme is “dark” by evaluating the relevant CSS media query (prefers-color-scheme: dark) using window.matchMedia and matches. If the condition is met, the checkbox gets checked, and then the CSS handles the rest.
    if (window.matchMedia("prefers-color-scheme: dark").matches) { document.querySelector("input[type=checkbox]").checked = true; } Recap
    This has been fun! It’s such a blessing we can combine all of these cutting-edge CSS features, not just into one project but into a single component. To summarize, that includes:
    a course navigator that shows the current lesson, all other lessons, and smooth scrolls between the different headings, a percentage-scrolled tracker that shows the amount read in plain text and as a conic gradient… pie chart, a light/dark-mode toggle (with some optional JavaScript that detects the preferred color scheme), and it is all packed into a single, floating, animated, native disclosure component. The newer CSS features we covered in the process:
    Scroll-driven animations interpolate-size: allow-keywords for transitioning between 0 and auto smooth scrolling by way of scroll-behavior: smooth dark mode magic using the light-dark() function a progress chart made with a conic-gradient() styling the ::details-content pseudo-element animating the <details> element Thanks to Jhey for the inspiration! If you’re not following Jhey on Bluesky or X, you’re missing out. You can also see his work on CodePen, some of which he has talked about right here on CSS-Tricks.

    Back in the day I was a fan of the “Trebuchet MS” font. I didn’t like it large, but set fairly small I loved the look of it. Looked very website-ish — if that makes sense.
    Honestly, at 12px, it still looks really nice.
    The main reason I would use it is that it was considered a “web-safe” font, meaning most computers had “Trebuchet MS” installed and it would look more or less the same across those computers. On my latest-version macOS, I’ve still got it as a pre-installed system font.
    I was thinking about this as Oliver Schöndorfer blogged about it recently. He points out that mobile operating systems changed the math on what is actually “web safe”.
    Apparently none of the classic web-safe fonts are actually “web safe” anymore, which I suppose is ironic and kinda funny. I think designers have gotten more used to and OK with some differences in typography across browsers. Modern Font Stacks is a great resource for that. The whole point of a font stack is being cool with the actually used font being whichever one hits first in that list. The whole idea of system-ui is like a font stack in a keyword by itself, and particularly well suited to very “app like” websites that are helped by looking like the operating system they are being used on. Maybe the new web safe is just typography that works fine wherever. Or maybe that’s what it always meant.
    Along those lines, I think uifonts.app is a clever idea of looking at fonts in a very practical “app like” way. I like looking at beautiful typeface type specimens as much as the next fella but in the end it matters more what the typeface looks like on my boring thing not your fancy thing.
    They should probably add system-ui as an option! Quick hits:
    It’s a modern miracle you can drop an image of typography onto a tool and it’ll tell you what fonts are used. One of the greatest experiments (that turns out to be perfectly viable) is building syntax highlighting into fonts themselves. Font foundries really need to get on this. Will buy. Elliot Jay Stocks recently shared this arranged alphabet and it rules. I’ve always shied away from -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; but David Bushell almost has me convinced otherwise as 1) it’s macOS (very literally only) 2) it can make rendered fonts look closer to other operating systems, that is, thinner. My holdup is that I generally like thicker and it will be more consistent for users on that OS. But David is convinced enough to put it in reset stylesheets, so have a think for yourself. And some more visuals!

    There’s a bit of a blind spot when working with CSS logical properties concerning shorthands. Miriam explains:
    She ends with the money question, whether we can do anything about it. We’re currently in a position of having to choose between supporting flow-relative terms like block-start and inline-start with longhand properties and the ergonomic benefits of writing shorthand properties that are evaluated as physical terms like top, bottom, left, and right. Those of us writing CSS for a while likely have the muscle memory to adapt accordingly, but it’s otherwise a decision that has real consequences, particularly for multi-lingual sites.
    Note that Miriam says this is something the CSS Working Group has been working on since 2017. And there’s a little momentum to pick it up and do something about it. The first thing you can do is support Miriam’s work — everything she does with the CSS Working Group (and it’s a lot) is a labor of love and relies on sponsorships, so chipping in is one way to push things forward.
    The other thing you can do is chime into Miriam’s proposal that she published in 2021. I think it’s a solid idea. We can’t simply switch from physical to flow-relative terms in shorthand properties without triggering compatibility issues, so having some sort of higher-level instruction for CSS at the top of the stylesheet, perhaps as an at-rule that specifies which “mode” we’re in.
    <coordinate-mode> = [ logical | physical ] or [ relative | absolute ] or ... @mode <coordinate-mode>; /* must come after @import and before any style rules */ @mode <coordinate-mode> { <stylesheet> } selector { property: value !<coordinate-mode>; } Perhaps naming aside, it seems pretty reasonable, eh?

    How do you update Arch Linux? You run sudo pacman -Syu command.
    How do you install a package on Arch Linux? You run sudo pacman -Syu package_name.
    Which might make you wonder why do you need a system update while installing a new package? What does those S, y and u do? Let me explain these things to you.
    What does pacman -Syu does?
    In simpler words, pacman -Syu updates all the installed packages on your Arch-based Linux distribution if they have a newer version available. Here, -S stands for sync or install, y refreshes the local package database cache with the remote repository and u will make a list of all the install packages that can be updated by referring to the local package database cache and getting actual packages from the remote repository.
    Understanding pacman -Syu command
    I hope you are familiar with the concept of package manager. If not, please refer to this explainer article:
    What is a Package Manager in Linux?Learn about packaging system and package managers in Linux. You’ll learn how do they work and what kind of package managers available.It's FOSSAbhishek PrakashPacman package manager works pretty much the same. There is a remote repository that has the actual packages, a local package database that usually keeps the information about the packages by interacting with the remote repository. pacman is the command line interface that utilizes this structure to manage packages on your Arch Linux.
    -S (capital letter S) is the main option and y and u are 'sub-options' supporting it.
    S stands for sync but you can think of it as 'install'. It syncs your Arch Linux system with the remote repository for the given package. Meaning, both repository and local Arch system will be synced (at that time) for the given package. Which is another way of saying that the package is installed on the system.
    You cannot just run pacman -S and expect it to sync (install) all the packages from the repositories on the local system. That would be disastrous if your system installs all 40,000+ packages of the remote repositories.
    This is why you need to provide a target (package names) with only -S option. Otherwise, you'll see this error.
    sudo pacman -S error: no targets specified (use -h for help) If you specify a package or group name, it will 'install' the package on your system.
    There are additional options with Sync. You'll probably be using a lot of sudo pacman -Syu.
    Those y and u are 'sub options' of -S. You cannot use them on their own like pacman -yu:
    sudo pacman -yu error: invalid option '-y'While the order of S, y and u doesn't matter, there has to be an S with y and u.
    The y sub-option of S refreshes the local package cache DB with remote repository. Then u sub-option is for sysupgrade which refers to the local package cache to make a list of all the installed packages that can be upgraded to a newer version.
    With the work of these two sub options done, S (sync) will fetch the packages (newer versions) from the remote repository and install (update existing) them.
    📋Sometimes, I feel like it would have been better to use terms like install instead of sync and r for refresh instead of y. Easier to understand.Why some tutorials mention "pacman -Syu" even while installing a single package?
    You'll notice that many tutorials on the web often mention the pacman command for package installation in the following format:
    sudo pacman -Syu package_nameAnd you may wonder what's the point of updating all the installed packages.
    Sure, you can use sudo pacman -S package_name for installing packages, and it will run fine if you keep your Arch system updated frequently.
    But if you haven't run the system updates for a while, installation may throw 404 missing file error. You need to update the local package database.
    Now, you may think, why not just do sudo pacman -Sy package_name which would be quicker as it will refresh package database and install only the package you want, not upgrade other packages that have newer versions available?
    There is a pretty good reason for that. It helps avoid the dependency issues that could occur otherwise.
    I liked the analogy in this Reddit discussion and I am going to use the same here as well.
    Imagine an old-fashioned paper catalog folks used to get in the mail a few decades back. If you get a catalog in the mail from a store, it had a listing of everything the store had for sale and the current prices. The Arch package database is like this catalog. The catalog you have with you is the package database cache on your system.
    The packages are like the actual goods you buy through the catalog. You find the item number that you want in the catalog, place the order, and the correct item is delivered.
    Imagine you just run pacman -Sy. This is equivalent to getting the latest catalog.
    Now, let's say you have an iPhone 14 (an outdated package) and you order an iPhone charger from the new catalog. You'll have a problem when the new charger arrives because the iPhone now uses the type C port instead of the old lightning port. A conflict arises.
    If you had run pacman -Syu, you would have ordered both the newer iPhone and the correct charger with it.
    (Don't take it literally and start commenting that it will be a financially stupid decision to order a new phone instead of the older charger. This is just for example 😜)
    Conclusion
    I don't know whether you were ever curious about it or not, but I do hope you have a slightly better understanding of the logic behind the famous -Syu option of pacman command. The man page is always there to read the official explanation of each option and its usage.
    You can always explore more options of the pacman command to see what it can do for regular package management on Arch Linux.

    In today’s fast-paced business world, we’re seeing a major shift in how companies operate and manage their resources. At the center of this transformation is AI SaaS (Artificial Intelligence Software as a Service). These cloud-based AI solutions are changing the game for businesses of all sizes. No longer do companies need massive budgets or technical teams to access powerful AI tools. Instead, they can subscribe to services that offer ready-to-use AI capabilities for a fraction of the traditional cost. Tools like an ai prompt generator are making it easier than ever to harness AI’s potential. This shift isn’t just convenient–it’s completely reshaping business economics in ways we couldn’t have imagined just a few years ago.
    Breaking Down Cost Barriers
    Remember when implementing new technology meant huge upfront investments? Those days are quickly fading. With AI SaaS, the economic model has fundamentally changed. Companies can now access sophisticated AI tools through subscription models that spread costs over time. Using an openai pricing calculator can help businesses accurately forecast their AI expenditures. This shift from capital expenditure to operational expenditure is a game-changer, especially for smaller businesses. We’re noticing that even startups can now compete with established players by leveraging the same powerful AI tools without breaking the bank.
    The pay-as-you-go model also means businesses aren’t locked into expensive systems that might become outdated. Instead, they can scale services up or down as needed, ensuring they only pay for what they actually use. This flexibility creates a much healthier cash flow situation for businesses navigating uncertain economic times.
    Productivity Revolution
    Let’s talk about what happens when AI takes over routine tasks. We’re seeing dramatic shifts in how work gets done. Tasks that once required hours of human attention–like data entry, basic customer service, or initial sales qualification–can now be handled by AI systems. An ai prompt manager can help organizations maintain and optimize their AI interactions across different departments. This doesn’t just save time; it fundamentally changes the economics of business operations.
    When employees are freed from repetitive tasks, they can focus on high-value work that actually drives business growth. The numbers speak for themselves: many companies report productivity increases of 30-40% after implementing AI SaaS solutions. This isn’t just about doing the same work faster–it’s about completely reimagining what’s possible with the same number of employees.
    Democratizing Advanced Capabilities
    Perhaps the most transformative aspect of AI SaaS is how it’s leveling the playing field. We’re witnessing a democratization of capabilities that were once available only to tech giants with massive R&D budgets. Now, a small marketing firm can access the same quality of predictive analytics as a Fortune 500 company. A local retailer can implement sophisticated inventory management systems that rival major chains.
    This accessibility is creating new economic opportunities across the business landscape. Companies that might have been pushed out of competitive markets due to technological disadvantages can now stay in the game. We’re essentially seeing a redistribution of competitive advantage, where strategic implementation of AI tools can matter more than sheer company size or historical market dominance.
    Data-Driven Decision Making
    The economics of decision-making has also been transformed by AI SaaS. In the past, business leaders often relied on intuition and limited data samples to make major strategic choices. Now, we have access to AI systems that can process vast amounts of information and identify patterns humans might miss.
    This shift dramatically reduces the cost of poor decisions. When companies can test scenarios, predict outcomes, and analyze trends with AI-powered tools, they’re less likely to make expensive mistakes. We’re finding that businesses using AI for decision support typically see reductions in failed initiatives and improvements in successful outcomes. The economic impact of better decisions compound over time, creating significant long-term advantages for early adopters.
    New Business Models
    AI SaaS isn’t just changing how existing businesses operate–it’s creating entirely new economic models and opportunities. We’re seeing the emergence of micro-businesses built entirely around AI capabilities, offering specialized services that wouldn’t have been viable without these technologies.
    For instance, small teams can now offer enterprise-grade analytics services by leveraging AI platforms. Solo entrepreneurs can create sophisticated digital products with AI assistance that would have required entire development teams in the past. These new business models are reshaping industry structures and creating economic value in previously untapped areas.
    Challenges and Considerations
    While the economic benefits are clear, we should acknowledge that this transformation isn’t without challenges. Businesses need to carefully navigate implementation costs, training requirements, and integration with existing systems. There’s also the ongoing challenge of choosing the right AI SaaS partners in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
    Data privacy concerns and regulatory compliance add another layer of economic consideration. Companies must balance the benefits of AI-powered insights with the costs of ensuring proper data governance. Implementing a harmful content detector can help organizations maintain ethical standards and protect their brand reputation. We’re finding that successful organizations view these not just as compliance issues but as opportunities to build trust and differentiation in the market.
    Looking Forward
    As we look to the future, the economic impact of AI SaaS will likely accelerate. We expect to see even more sophisticated tools becoming available at increasingly accessible price points. The gap between early adopters and laggards may widen, creating stronger economic incentives for businesses to embrace these technologies sooner rather than later.
    The most successful organizations will be those that view AI SaaS not just as a cost-saving measure but as a strategic asset that can transform their business models. We’re already seeing evidence that companies taking this approach are outperforming their peers in terms of growth and profitability.
    Conclusion
    The transformation of business economics through AI SaaS represents one of the most significant shifts in how companies operate and compete. From reducing costs and improving productivity to enabling entirely new business models, these technologies are creating opportunities across every industry.
    For business leaders, the message is clear: understanding and strategically implementing AI SaaS isn’t just a technology decision–it’s a fundamental business imperative with far-reaching economic implications. As these tools continue to evolve, they’ll increasingly separate market leaders from the rest of the pack. The question isn’t whether AI SaaS will transform your business economics, but how quickly you’ll adapt to this new reality.
