Setting overflow on child cuts off content and removes scroll behavior of nested grid

I have an (horizontal) overflow of hidden and some ellipses on some child inside a grid inside an other grid (or flex, doesn't matter), which squishes the content and thus removes the (vertical) scroll behavior of the inner grid. Removing the grid/flex from the outer container produces normal scroll, but then I can't distribute the height of the inner grids. Removing the overflow from the child also restores scroll behavior, but then I'm not responsive to long text and/or a narrow window. I've created a minimal reproduction here: https://play.vuejs.org/#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 The vue part is irelevant, it's just a nice rapid prototyping playground with everything included in the url 🙂 How can I work around this unexpected behavior?...

Best way to get data for an upcoming events component?

So i'm building this website for a racing driver, and i would like to make a component for a section that shows the upcoming races/events in a grid, but i'm not sure what way would be best to get the data. I used Strapi as the CMS, along with Next.JS, but i recently started thinking if i should just use the facebook pages api, if it's easy enough to use and get access to, since he already posts the events as facebook events, but on the other hand i could just use strapi and make it easy for myself, but then he would have to add the events both on facebook and in strapi....

Creating Database Plugins in Wordpress

I'm very much a front-end developer who has built a couple WordPress sites, but nothing requiring databases or needed to go into the backend of Wordpress. I need to rebuild a local government directory website that has all the information for 91 cities and towns in my state with all the local government employees contact information, populations, square miles and other info. I need to figure out how to build this myself or what plugins that might already exist that could help me.

What is a socket and how does it work?

Hello guys, I have a quick question, previously I wanted to know what a socket is and how it works. I read a bit about networking in general and then tried to understand how sockets work. So basically, from what I've understood: 1. A socket is just an endpoint that enables us to read data or write data (just like a file can be read from or written to.) 2. Now, in the TCP/IP model, a socket is created, we give it an IP and a Port number. Then TCP will just to its things, wrap all packets, ensure they are assembled in required order or retransmit lost packets etc....

<img> / <picture> in HTML or bg-image in CSS ?

Should this big image be used as an <img> tag in HTML or as a background-image in CSS? What is the correct way? It is a big part of the design, but it seems only decorative to me. Can you help me decide?

Should we ignore both node_modules and package.json files when pushing to a remote repo?

Hello guys, sorry to disturb you all... I have a quick question. I read that when creating a github repository and when pushing js files that uses external node libraries, we should ignore the node_modules since this will affect performance. Should I still upload the package.json file?...

Swapping in inline form vs disabled/styled input

If I have a displayed element (lets say a name) that I want the user to be able to change, I see two options: 1) A display element (a div or something) and an inline form, with javascript showing one or the other based on clicking an edit button, cancelling the form, etc. 2) A input with classes/disabled that's swapped via interaction, so in one state it looks like an unstyled display element, and the other looks like an input. Is there any downside to the latter? If the form/input are both submitted via fetch anyway, is there any problem with just having an unstyled input?...

The service works from outside my network. So the issue is not port forwarding from my modem to the pi...

Why are there so many JavaScript frameworks?

Hello guys, it's been sometime now that I have been using vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. I wanted to learn some frameworks just to see how all of that works and from what I've told, in real world/jobs, the majority of time, we use frameworks to do things. My first question is: What do we have so many frameworks from Next.JS to Angular.JS to Vue.JS to React.JS and so on please. Second is, if I need to learn a framework for JavaScript and also for CSS, are there any recommended frameworks please. (By the way HTML doesn't have any framework on its own? There are terms that I saw like pug, SASS etc I think, are these related to HTML ?)...

Need advice on caching data retrieved from useeffect in react

hey guys so im currently working on a project that will retrieve reddit posts and filter them by pain points similar to GummySearch but for a single niche to generate potential business ideas! the reason im building this is cuz i cant pay $60 for gummy search 😦 and i thought it would be cool to build my own version to use for free for a single niche anyways the problem is with the call to Reddit API now with useeffects in general the its called whenever the component mounts right but i dont want to do that. whats the best way to cache the posts retrieved from Reddits API on the client? i want to be refetching only after every 2 hours ! so say the user opens the app it fetches posts and then if the component unmounts and remounts i want to check if its been 2 hours since the last time, how can i do that check?? also where do i store the fetched posts? on local storage? do i save them to the database? ...
