Sure, if a trailing space in copied/paste functionality or precise :after placement is important then you'd need to modify the ending tag placement... but prioritizing that use case seems like a premature optimization. I don'

Compared to markdown I think HTML works a lot better as a general purpose format.

I don't think that's as rare as people say, especially in smaller organizations. Having an art school design education and a bit over a decade in (mostly back-end) web development, I've had plenty of deseloper type roles. I

Markdown is undoubtedly more readable, but HTML can be more readable than most people make it. And considering that the ultimate goal is to wind up with a layed-out, styled document, its capabilities in that regard are just plain-old more i

You keep saying that public perception comes down to speech someone doesn't like. In this context-- publicly questioning the word of someone victimized by the highest profile and influential serial sexual predators in recent times-- th

> No. The purpose of FSF is not to be demagogues and bend at every whim of the mob. By him discussing it publicly he did exactly that. Everybody likes to think their opinion stems from pure reason and logic while everybody else is just a

So this is just a case of "I'm glibly dismissing the question."

Do you think the court of public opinion is consequential? If not, why did he make those public statements in support of his friend? The accusation is almost certainly true, and a public figure publicly casting doubt upon and minimizing the

You don't have to be an activist just because you give a damn. Being a good citizen in the world means caring enough about other people to not trample them. Not caring simply means not bothering to check if you're stepping on peop

Sure, but not particularly relevant in this context.

Are you arguing that FSF should deliberately disregard social issues to be different? Do social issues waste valuable care that could be spent caring free software? Or is there another reason to be frustrated by people caring about the soci

Not sure what poor or lower-middle class communities you've lived in, but where I grew up, kids who were insecure about being clearly being disadvantaged by society's standards made a pretty big deal about the little they did have

This is one of those "pizza was invented in New York City" arguments. Popularized and refined != invent. The Brit Tim Berners-Lee designed the architecture, wrote the first browser and web server, and wrote the first HTML spec at

I don't believe mono supports winforms on linux and I wouldn't classify VB.net as having a elm-like architecture with a unidirectional data flow... so yes?

“you could probably match everything to a single person if you wanted to.” You could probably match it to a single car owner but I'll bet you'd have a hard time matching it to a single person purely using data without some res

If you don't see contempt in the author's evaluation of other people's behavior, you're either not looking, or not a great judge of it. > I'd challenge you to entertain the idea that this post has some good advic

I hate to throw a purely negative comment up as a naked response to a post, but this is really just a contemptful screed about people engaging in online interactions the author doesn't jibe with. It's not even like they're pr

Seemingly reliable for a specific type of problem, though. Most reliable software doesn't require a distributed network to be reliable, and I don't think binary execution on BEAM is any more inherently reliable than the JVM, right

I'm neither a physics nor sound processing expert, but it seems like the microphone creates the signal to invert, and the speakers emit the inverted signal before the initial sound hits your ear. So I reckon the sound must first hit th

Seems like Beam is a more specialized tool than JVM but if you need that sort of functionality it's phenomenal. With things like built-in performant persistent key value stores and cluster management I'm kind of surprised more peo

No — the actual controls on the map don’t work for me. If it works for you then it must be something weird on my device.

I actually had a big long response to your approach pointing out how damaging of a mindset that is for design projects, but I think this is more relevant. I worked as a nightclub bouncer for well over a decade. I learned that you can gauge

I’m not really sure what you’re pushing back against here — are you taking issue with the terminology? Or are you saying that scratch should not be used as an intro to programming logic because it was originally designed to control visual c

And that's totally fine. We all have our own heuristics for determining what we like in a candidate, but we need to be very, very critical of those measures and make sure they aren't masking other less justifiable gut instinct dec
