Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter accident. R.I.P.
The coronavirus is spreading all over the world. Every day the inflected number and death number goes up. We all wear masks outdoor and clean our hands frequently. There is no any Chinese New Year mood for this week. Hope every one is getting healthy.

I mentioned the web accessibility course from W3C in my email 2019 week 49. The course is now available on edX. Highly recommended.
CSS resize none on textarea is bad for UX

First time I heard of some one disabling the textarea resize. It is very important to be able to resize the text area. More surprise to me is a GitHub search showing 2,000,000+ results of textarea resize:none.

Privacy related concern to CSS visited

Facebook releases off-facebook activities list

The first thing I do there is to cancel all off-facebook connections. I have not been active on Facebook main app for a while. I deleted the app in phone too. The only Facebook thing I’m still using is WhatsApp for work and Instagram for some casual sharing. I created makzan.live to host my own photo feed instead of relying on Instagram.

I created a CSS only tab with radio button and flexbox. Radio buttons are useful for let user select one of the options, such as 1 tab in the list or 1 file in file tree.
