For a number of years, I built various To-Do (or more accurately To-Done) lists. I would use them for about a year and then just stop, and make something else. I don't currently have any to-do list solution, I'm just using pieces

I thought it would be dense, but it was lighthearted and didn't take itself too seriously, and both shared information and fun questions to ask. I enjoyed the speculation which had not even a shred of political or social agenda anywher

If there was a code editor that _actually_ supported the HTML language as it's specified, and allowed you to select by element in the editor as well - that would be amazing. Right now the problem I have is that text that's been ma

It doesn't appear to be true if you check websites of Canadian banks (e.g. CIBC, RBC, BMO, Scotia…) they all offer Visa and Mastercard, and Scotia even also offers Amex as well.

Bible !== christianity, or any of those things you listed. It's the best-preserved-most-ancient library of texts that have been continually read daily by at least someone ever since they were produced, and have had a huge impact on wes

Is it? I hope so, because this is a fantastic translation, it preserves as much of the wordplay from the hebrew, and whatever is not able to be brought through in the translation is well-annotated in the notes below.

Here I am worried that my cat is going to knock my flat lightweight TV over one of these days, and you had a 300 lb TV? That sounds like what I need now!

I'm Canadian and I don't think this makes sense at all. Netflix (etc) isn't a TV station or a radio station broadcasting cultural programming on the airwaves, it's a self-serve library of digital content you pay to acces

It just occurred to me - we only call these 'invasive' not because they invade nature, but because they invade the spaces we as humans have carved into nature. If our presence wasn't there, perhaps the natural ecosystem would

For a while, about fifteen years ago they had a string of popular songs that were so formulaic in their songwriting that you can play them over top of each other (trimming off intro/outro) and it's the same song, here's the m

I think what you're calling "my way" is just what HTML is designed to be in its own specification. Custom elements have been in the spec for over a decade and are supported everywhere, they're as legit as any other part

It's not getting more complex, because the easy stuff you have always been able to do is still there the exact same, as easy as it's always been. There is more of CSS now, so you have more power to express styles for more mediums

HTML Custom Elements would allow you to define and provide support for your own <table-of-contents> element, so you could use it, and all browsers would understand it, and dev tools and CSS and JavaScript and all other HTML would work

The people who trust it are the people who either don't know the difference, or the code ChatGPT outputs is comparable or better than what they can output. It seems to work okay the other direction though, if code is well-named and wel

Some ideas: use different editors for different languages, or different color themes. Or another is to format code visually differently, for example when I write HTML I use double quotes, and when I write JavaScript I use single quotes, bot

Structually, it's a tree. JSON cannot include circularity (like JavaScript objects can) so it's either an object, or nested objects.

In the past I've used XPath, and CSS selectors using this library to filter and find data in JSON: https://github.com/tomhodgins/espath The approach is to take the JavaScript object, convert it to XML DOM, run the

I think the person is saying there may be a vast difference between what's marketed and promised, and how projects like these have historically under-delivered or failed.

As far as I know the rules were set in stone by 2013 or around there so while they haven't been widely taught or have tons of blog posts written about them they are safe and futureproof in that way. From what I understand around the ti

It's also possible to define custom author-defined features fully within standard CSS syntax, which can then be safely picked up and processed by tools (server side or client-side) and handled without needing a custom language and its

Some thoughts: Browser developers today can't speak for the way browser makers in the future may build standards-based browsers. Standards provide a level of future-proofing. Also browsers are not the only tools developers will use to

May I ask: if it's intended to be used with HTML language, why not use legal HTML syntax? (Custom author-defined tag names, custom attributes for those custom tags, and data-* attributes on any element are all legal ways to extend HTML

I'll never understand why people insist on making tools that depend on non-standard/illegal HTML when HTML is perfectly extensible. Authors are free to invent custom tag names (according to some rules) and free to create attribute

Like humans, they have physical bodies and the breath of life in them. For the sake of what this person was talking about it seems like it would apply to their intelligence as well.
