I'm the same. When writing python I write some lines, run and test, write some more, run and test... with Rust I bash out lines of code for an hour then have the compiler and Clippy help me fix it all afterward.

They shouldn't feel too bad. If they still had their money they'd just waste it on stupid bullshit like crypto.

Most people don't care about W3C specs as it is, nevermind with vibe coding. The React release notes are the important web standards they follow.

Why wouldn't it be successful? Truth Social seems to be doing pretty well, and no one on the left pretends that they should be allowed post there, the left is happy for those people to fuck off and leave them alone. Not everyone wants

Sure, but banning him sends a signal to people who do like them that they also aren't welcome.

The issue is that BlueSky was never intended to be a site for its userbase of furries and LGBT people: It was always meant to be a site for blockchain freaks. From the perspective of the Bluesky team, you shouldn't care about the treat

So in order to be a part of European society I need to accept the terms and conditions of US companies? What happens if something goes wrong and you have to rely on contacting a human in Google of all places? Sorry, you have a copyright str

If anything I'd say it has the opposite of the intended effect sometimes. Like, during WW2 the UK was being bombed and ration books and supply shortages were the order of the day. They look back on their endurance of the conditions inf

The economic turmoil in the US is hollowing out the entry level jobs, AI is just the cover companies are using. The constant tariff changing means that companies have to be very pessimistic in their long term planning, as any assumptions th

One of the nice things about mastodon is that the total lack of centralization and the absence of the dreaded algorithm means you don't have reputation farmer accounts posting bloviating nonsense the whole time. Its really great there.

XSLT rocks. I have a team who come from business analyst and accounting backgrounds, we manage hundreds of reports for client data to their banks and could never manage it without something simple like XSLT to deal with it all. You give the

If XForms was released on browsers today, it would be hailed as a revolutionary technology. Instead, it is just one of the many things thrown away, and even now 20 years after the WHATWG took over we cannot even do a PUT request without Jav

There are other implementations of XSLT available besides libxslt, some even in Javascript. Security is something that could be overcome and they wouldn't need to break styling on RSS feeds or anything, it could be something like how F

Getting rid of XSLT from the browser would be a mistake, no doubt about it. You can see it clear as day in the github thread that they weren't asking permission, they were doing it no matter what, all their concerns about security just

If the web was being built today it would be nothing but Javascript and Canvas, the idea of something like HTML would have you laughed out of the room. Documents? You have PDF for that.

Abandoning XML is and continues to be the webs biggest mistake. Client side templating, custom elements, validation against schemas, native databinding for forms, we could have had it all and threw it away; instead preferring to rebuild it

The best thing we could possibly do, besides throwing Musk and Zuckerberg in The Hague, is destroy targeted advertising as a business model. Everything, absolutely all of this is done so they can make fractions of a cent off of clicks. So l
