This gist is a simple no-brainer description of the 3 ways (actually 2.5) the Web handle events.

`<tag onclick />`

The declarative inline HTML event listener is mostly an indirection of DOM Level 0 events, meaning this simply uses the equivalent of tag.onclick = listener behind the scene.

Automatically upload the daily crossword to Supernote

The Problem

Note: For anyone landing on this page from Google looking to automatically upload the NYT crossword to your Supernote or similar e-ink tablet, I'm afraid this solution requires some knowledge of programming.

Update 1/12/22: This can be easily adapted to work for the Wall Street Journal crossword as well. Unlike the NYT crossword, the WSJ crossword does not require a paid membership. Scroll down to the bottom of this page for more info.

Speaker Rider

by Tatiana Mac

Last updated 14 April 2021

What is a speaker rider?

As speaking comes with immense privilege, I have crafted a speaker rider to set expectations and boundaries around my engagement. I am grateful to all the conference organisers who have brilliantly hosted me. I would love to continue to exercise this privilege to speak at conferences, and use this privilege to make the landscape more accessible and beneficial to tech's most historically excluded and marginalised communities.

Considerations

😫 I provide a lot of explanations for those of you who never had to consider these things. Most thoughtful conferences I've attended check most of these boxes intrinsically, particularly when conference runners are experienced speakers. They get it.

👀📎 It looks like you're preparing to MC a conference...

🚨 GIANT DISCLAIMER: This stuff is far from authoritative. But it's what I think works for me, and what I enjoy in an MC when I'm attending a conference.

Biggest tip - enjoy yourself.

Everything I Know About UI Routing

Definitions

Location - The location of the application. Usually just a URL, but the location can contain multiple pieces of information that can be used by an app
1. pathname - The "file/directory" portion of the URL, like invoices/123
2. search - The stuff after ? in a URL like /assignments?showGrades=1.
3. query - A parsed version of search, usually an object but not a standard browser feature.
4. hash - The # portion of the URL. This is not available to servers in request.url so its client only. By default it means which part of the page the user should be scrolled to, but developers use it for various things.
5. state - Object associated with a location. Think of it like a hidden URL query. It's state you want to keep with a specific location, but you don't want it to be visible in the URL.

	THIS GIST IS OUT OF DATE! Please use my new project template here to get started with Zig on Playdate:
	https://github.com/DanB91/Zig-Playdate-Template


	The rest of this is preservied for historical reasons:


	This is a small snippet of some code to get you started for developing for the Playdate on Zig. This code should be used as a starting point and may not compile without some massaging. This code has only been tested out on macOS and you'll need to modify the addSharedLibrary() portion of build.zig to output a .dll or .so instead of a .dylib, depending on you platform.

	This code will help you produce both an executable for the Playdate simulator and also an executable that actually run on the Playdate hardware.

	-- Playdate item selector that unifies d-pad and crank input
	-- useful for menus where you want to allow either crank or arrow input.
	-- First argument `count` is the number of items.
	-- second argument `options` is a table with the following optional fields:
	-- `initSelected`: the position of the item selected at start. default is 0.
	-- `crankScale`: # of crank degrees for each item. default is 90.
