Overlay Fact Sheet

Category Image 052

I would hope all our web designer/developer spidey senses trigger when the solution to an accessibility problem isn’t “fix the issue” but rather “add extra stuff to the page.” This Overlay Fact Sheet website explains that. An “Overlay” is one of those “add extra stuff to the page” things, ostensibly for improving accessibility. Except, even though marketing may suggest they are a silver bullet to accessibility, they are… not.

The site does a much better job laying that out than I can, so go check it out. As I write, it’s signed by 352 people, mostly people who are accessibility professionals.

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

HTTP protocol nowadays is still one of the most popular protocols used over the internet. But many developers still can't explain clearly what is it. In this article, you will find out what HTTP is practically is.

How to Perform Object Level Recovery in SQL Server

Featured Imgs 26

When a SQL Server database turns corrupt and cannot be repaired, you can restore it from a recent backup to recover objects and data. However, the problem arises when you need to perform object level recovery instead of performing a full database backup.

In other words, there may arise a need to restore a specific table or any other object from the database backup, rather than the complete database. But, there is no direct method to perform object level recovery.

Category Image 091

SQL Server is a complex beast, with many configuration options that can range from recommended to completely avoided.

Since the release of SQL Server 2016, several options that were recommended post-install have been rolled into the default installation options and no longer need to be done, and similar changes were made with SQL Server 2017.

How to describe element’s natural sizing behavior

Category Image 052

PPK:

When introducing width and height I explain that by default width takes as much horizontal space as it can, while height takes as little vertical space as possible. This leads to a discussion of these two opposed models that I excerpt below.

My question is: which names do I give to these models?

The three options:

  • inside-out and outside-in
  • context-based and content-based
  • extrinsic and intrinsic size

There is more context in the post.

I definitely don’t like inside-out and outside-in — they make my head spin. I think I’m gonna vote for extrinsic and intrinsic size. I hear those terms thrown around a lot more lately and the fact that they match the specs is something I like. At the same time, I do feel like context-based and content-based are maybe a smidge more clear, but since they are already abstracted and made up, might as well go with the abstracted and made up term that already has legs.
