Why wouldn't one be able to tell syntax highlighters and code checkers that the string that goes into the html.something() functions is html?

The homepage left me confused, and also after reading the documentation, I'm not sure what this is. I tinkered a bit to try it myself. Turns out you can throw this into your website and it will display "Hello World": &l

When I start a new project, the data structure usually is a "list of items with attributes". For example right now, I am writing a fitness app. The data consists of a list of exercises and each exercise has a title, a description,

That's what I meant. It tries to access a global variable 'y' and fails because there is none. See also: https://x.com/marekgibney/status/1817495719520940236 and https://x.com/marekg

Interesting. As I understand it, it will not affect my example: def f(): exec('y = 7') # will still create a local variable print(locals()['y']) # will still print this local variable print(

Yes, I stumbled across this quite recently: https://x.com/marekgibney/status/1817495719520940236 I was surprised that you cannot access dynamically created local variables even though they exist. Looks like the lo

I think you still need to do the templating in PHP, because you usually want to escape html chars. And because you want to seperate code and layout. Having "Hello <?=$name?>" in the template is usually not what you want. It

I wouldn't say you are a stickler. But the most productive addition to the discussion would be to do the benchmark as you see fit and then show us the results.

You might be right about the min() call being the major penalty. When I avoid the min() call like this ... min2.py: i = 10_000_000 r = 0 while i>0: i = i-1 if i<500: r += i else : r += 500

Reading this, I was interested to see how big the speed difference between Python and PHP is these days, so I tried it like this: min.py: i = 10_000_000 r = 0 while i>0: i = i-1 r += min(i,500) print(r

Which Raspberry Pi would one need to run Vim and Firefox? And is it possible to have it use a tablet as a monitor and draw power from it? That would be everything I need to develop web applications. I wonder if I could use a 3-piece setup t

That is why people these days tend to use a single JSON blob instead of multiple columns. And because it is so popular, SQLITE and other DBs are building better and better JSON support into the DB. I wonder if better support of EAV tables w

The analogy I would make is that living in the command line is like using a CAD program while living in IDEs is like using CorelDraw to design houses. CorelDraw feels more efficient because one quickly has what looks like a beautiful, color

The command line is still king. Whenever I see new coders struggle, it usually is because they: - Don't know the context of what they are executing - Don't know about the concept of input and output On the command li

I also have the feeling that there is a good chance Tesla cars built in 2024 won't become robotaxis. But that is a different question. My guess is about the first car using Tesla software to offer commercial rides. No matter when it wa

It seems the focus of Tesla has mostly shifted to operating robotaxis. What is everybody's guess when they will have the first robotaxi on the road somewhere, offering rides without a safety driver? Could be interesting to look back in

Every time I change a ULR (or a set of URLs), I put a test for the redirect into my end-2-end tests, which run once per day. So I know all my URLs will work forever. I have not thought about it for years now. Just checked for my first ever

Awesome! That's pretty much how I make websites up to this day. Later, if it grows, I usually add a stylesheet file to separate content and layout. Then I sometimes add some JavaScript. Then I sometimes add some backend storage and pro

What exactly does it mean that we "have the language to know"? And how do you prove it? How does the cog's reply in my last comment not match your definition and proof? In my experience, when you try to define and prove it in

Yes, I would say every system has self-awareness. You say "reasoning" is needed. Ok, but how is that defined? Say you "ask" the cog why it turned by rattling it. Then it will rattle the other cog and, therefore, point yo
