We use a perpetual calendar just for birthdays on our bathroom wall. It is or used to be common in Holland.

This weekend and next week they will be playing David Bowie's 'Live At Montreux' at Lobe in Vancouver. Lobe is a unique room with the speakers installed in the floor and ceiling. https://lobestudio.ca/new-events/david-bowie-live-at-montreu...

Check if your local library has a PressReader subscription. It doesn't help open links to paywalled articles, but depending on your library, you may already have access to a lot of newspapers and magazines.

This is great. One little thing, after the last song in the playlist is over, it would be nice if the state remained in play mode so that when another song is added to the queue the new song would play right away.

Also, I've been wanting something just like this but that would also play the video as well as audio.

Yes, I use a 30 second rule as well! If something extra might happen within the frame, waiting it out often pays off.

And we could make those catalogs more appealing to the general public by inserting a lot of exclusive content like news, essays, or short stories.

I basically agree with the spirit of what you're saying but the line is not clear.

Company 4 is a reasonable answer. What's the point in having a scoring system if you're going to use personal judgement to determine the winner? Of course company 4 would be a bad fit. But the problem is the method that was originally chosen to evaluate the companies. The key is "according to the evaluation detailed in the chart". In reality, the company should look at these results and realize that they need a new evaluation method.

Yes, this technique sounds really good. Thanks for this.

No, I believe it is the nature of web components that they can't be server rendered. I'm not talking about framework components like react, vue, etc.

I'm not happy with any of the solutions to prevent a flash of undefined components. Has anyone given up on web components for that reason? Or is there a best practice for this?

But "color" doesn't apply to just text. Changing the color of an element affects the currentColor and applies to default border colors. The property name "color" makes more sense than "text-color" imho.
