Thoughts on the election of Joe Biden. First, let’s admit it’s pretty amazing that Biden won. If you look historically at US Presidential elections all the forces were tilted toward a Trump win: Trump was an incumbent, which is a huge advantage.

DO WE NEED WADL?

A: There are, as always, two problems. Those two problems are always the same: technical and cultural. The technical problems I will get back to later. There are a number of cultural assumptions built into WADL, and those cultural assumptions come from the WS-* arena. The first is that you want, and need, machine generated code.

I keep seeing people anxious for the end of 2020, as if January 1st was a Rubicon that the shit-storm of 2020 won’t follow us across. Let me disabuse you of any such notion.

Do you expect the GOP to

SHADOW DOM EXAMPLE

Shadow Dom Example. We need to talk about Shadow DOM. While the Google official docs strongly encourage the use of Shadow DOM, I quite strongly disagree. As an example, a couple weeks ago I realized I could style the part of a set of elements as a button, which would look great and more readily indicate its function.
