title: : Something I wrote in the W3C Authentic Web Mini Workshop’s Zoom chat:Another implicit assumption (flaw) that is often a part of "purely technical solutions" is the neglect or ignorance (innocent naïveté) of existing technical solutions. A technical proposal should not be praised for what it claims to solve. A technical proposal must be evaluated by what marginal difference or advantage does it provide over existing technologies. Any technical proposal that ignores prior technologies is itself doomed to be ignored by the next technical proposal.In addition to the slide presentations (links to come) in the mini workshop and Zoom verbal discussion which was minuted (link to come), there was a lot of very interesting discussion in the Zoom chat, which was not minuted. Sometimes such quick back & forth can help inspire summarizing of points which one had not previously written down. I was encouraged by a fellow workshop participant to blog this one so here it is!#W3C #credweb #credibleWeb #authenticWeb #technology #technical #proposal #technicalProposal #history

title: : 20 years and two weeks ago, I came up with undohtml.css and unknowingly invented the mechanism of CSS Resets (AKA reboot or reset style sheets¹) which spawned numerous variants, many still in broad use on the web today.https://tantek.com/log/2004/09.html#d06t2354A one sentence problem description, and a short paragraph describing my problem-solving, actions, license, link to less than 300 bytes of code (not counting comments), and a few future thoughts.The rest of that blog post was about “debug scaffolding”, the part I thought was more interesting at the time.Eric Meyer (@meyerweb.com @meyerweb@mastodon.social) followed up ~10 days afterwards with his thinking and improvements:* https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss/where he mentioned “resetting” in passing, but not actually calling it a "reset".~2.5 years later Eric published “Reset Styles” with further reasoning and improvements:* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/12/reset-styles/describing them as: “reset” or “baseline” set of styles.Subsequently he iterated in several more blog posts:* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/14/reworked-reset/* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/18/reset-reasoning/ — this is Eric’s first post where he explicitly calls them “reset styles”, which I believe is the origin of the eventual phrase “CSS Reset” and “reset style sheets”* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/ (yes a Matrix: Reloaded reference)~6 months later Eric published his evergreen resource “CSS Tools: Reset CSS”* https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/which, as you see within the URL: “css/reset”, is perhaps where the phrase “CSS Reset” comes from, and it’s also the label (link text) he gives that page in his UI about-page² and the first content link in his 404 page³.My technology invention takeaways from all this:1. if you find yourself repeatedly solving the same (especially annoying) problem, create a re-usable solution that works for…

title: mmn: RT @rysiek #Fairphone and #Jolla announce deeper collaboration. With Fairphone, Jolla shares a very active #community that values #transparency both in #hardware production and #software. Since autumn 2015 Jolla #developer community has been working to port #Sailfish OS to the Fairphone 2, the ethical #smartphone that uses #modular #design to increase the phone’s #longevity and #repairability. Following the progress of the community #porting, Jolla and Fairphone are now evaluating possibilities to enter into commercial collaboration based on common #values. Olivier Hebert, Chief #Technology Officer at Fairphone comments: “Making the Fairphone 2 hardware an open development platform has been one of our major ambitions from the start. This way, we can foster innovation into new mobile software technology and applications, while giving users the choice in the operating systems that they want to use. Sailfish OS is something that a large proportion of our community has been very i ...
