Via: [Wayback/Archive] Post by @sandradehaan.bsky.social — Bluesky
Hoe gaat het met Anton Dingeman? Tekenaar Pieter Geenen vertelt. Een gesprek over het verdwijnende dialect. En twee strips! ❤️ “Af en toe dacht ik nog wel aan hem hoor, als ik de krant las en het nieuws zag. Dan had ik soms de neiging om Anton weer op te laten duiken”.

I totally agree with the first comment of [Wayback/Archive] Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube as it holds not just for file management, but for naming anything including software development:
I’ve watched many videos on file management, but this one explains naming very clearly.
- 0:31 Rule 1: No Spaces
- 2:40 Rule 2: Avoid Special Characters
- 3:43 Rule 3: Be Descriptively Concise
- 4:24 Rule 4: Case Sensitivity
- 5:00 Rule 5: Dates and Sorting
- 6:40 Rule 6: Be Consistent!

A cool way to unit-test JavaScript code on the browser side is [Wayback/Archive] Getting Started | QUnit:
To get started with QUnit in the browser, create a simple HTML file called test.html and include the following markup:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test Suite</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.css">
<body>
<div id="qunit"></div>
<div id="qunit-fixture"></div>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.js"></script>
</body>
That’s all the markup you need to start writing tests. Note that this loads the library from the jQuery CDN.
I was so glad to find QUnit via the below links as I unconsciously wanted such a thing for a very very long time.
You can either run it locally or remotely or from the jQuery CDN as both it
- is a Node.js module so the source files are all available on the jQuery CDN
- it does not require the Node.js to load so it can run from any location you want (that CDN, locally or another on-line location)

In yesterday’s post Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link with the “redirected from” instead of “saved from” I mentioned js-tokenizer for syntax highlighting. When writing that, I didn’t have time to dig deeper, but saved the links for later investigation.
Since I won’t have time to finish writing a complete article on this anytime soon, I decided to just publish the list:

This is a follow-up on Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navigate to the canonical link which can be accessed from multiple URLs, some through redirection:
You can see the difference in these archived links (the navivate was a typo that I only spotted after the original blog post got published):
I wanted a Bookmarklet to find the last link; the one in the referenced blog post didn’t.
