But did it ever actually work in practice? As I remember it the XSLT backed websites still needed "absurd amounts of CSS microsyntac". You could not do everything you needed with XSLT so you needed to use both XSLT and CSS. Also c

Some people used XSLT to style their RSS feeds when displaying them in the browser. An alternative is to use CSS to style the feeds. Personally I don't see why I would want styled feeds.

What security vulnerabilities do you think of? Modern html5 parsers are really good and secure. The html5 standard largely solved the issues.

So why is almost nobody here actually defending it on its own merits? In my opinion XSLT was a bad idea ~20 years ago when I started in web development. It was convoluted, not nice to work with and the implementations buggy. Most people see

There are still virtually zero good XML parsers but plenty of good JSON parsers so I do not buy your assertion. Writing a good JSON parser can be done by most good engineers, but I have yet to use a good XML parser. This is based on my pers

My emotional response to XSLT being removed was: "finally!". You would need some good arguments to convince me that despite my emotions applauding this descion it is actually a bad thing.

XSLT was always a bad idea. JS is a mixed bag of good and bad ideas.

Battle.net's forums used to use XSLT and be a buggy mess, but not sure if that was related to their use of XSLT.

Which would be a totally sensible thing you do. Especially if jpeg was a rarely used image format with few libraries supporting it, the main one being unmaintained.

And 2021 was when the republicans decided to protect Trump after his half-assed failed coup attempt. He should have been locked up but the republicans decided to protect him.

Yes, I have. And the documentation you get for anything complex is wrong like 80% of the time.

Because async Rust is a lot harder to reason about than sync code. And I want my code to be as easy to reason about as possible.

Your comment was low quality noise while the one you replied to was on topic and useful. A short and useful comment with a typo is high quality content while a perfectly written LLM comment would be junk.

What do you base your claim on that people don't study that? I do not follow the research in that area but would find it highly unlikely there was no research into it.

You still have to worry about falling out with the government or then caving to foreign pressure and selling you off to appease a foreign power.

So if somebody sized a stock portfolio should they mention the number of shares? The market value is in most cases more interesting than the number of coins.

It does because Alfred Nobel cared about internationalism and pacifism, neither "real wars" nor civil rights. I did not say she was a worthy winner just that we should look at what the will actually says instead of just inventing

The EU is one of the most worthy winners if we read Nobel's will.

I would say that is likely a correct translation as the original text refers to nation as in a group of people with a shared culture. But, yes, it is not nation as in country. So the original text refers to fraternity between peoples of dif

Maybe up to 2 million people died in the process, mostly in the partitioning of India and Pakistan, so it was not all peaceful.

Perhaps, but I was talking about Trump now. He would be a pretty big violation of the spirit of the will even if he would not be the first such. I will personally try to refrain from commenting on the Venezuelan opposition since I do not kn

Trump does not fit the criteria set out by Alfred Nobel. By increasing the NATO spending he worked against "the abolition or reduction of standing armies" and he has made the "fraternity between nations" a lot worse with

You may think that but Alfred Nobel disagreed and it is his prize. If she fits the criteria is another question but it was certainly not intended to just be about real wars and real peace (whatever that is). den som har verkat mest el

But what is their specialization? Because as far as I know they do a McDonald's quality job but charge wat more than a McDonald's rate. The only use I have is so that cowardly executives can do what they already had planned to do
