>But HTML documents are much easier to read, [than markdown] Presumably you mean rendered HTML rather than the source documents?

After you a FE webdev that doesn't regularly author HTML by hand?

MS Word uses HTML under the hood, right? (Or some SGML at least.)

Watching a teenager approach their homework, instead of struggling to answer questions they don't know, they ask Gemini. Unfortunately, I think the mental struggle to approach an answer is where much of the learning is. They also miss

>LLM wants to please you I was using Copilot and asked it a question about a PDF file (a concept search). It turned out the file was images of text. I was anticipating that and had the text ready to paste in. Instead, it started writing

Whilst/while is interesting. Whilst to me is like being in the midst of something, not just that it is happening somewhere. It seems to have more specificity than 'while'. "Whilst boarding the train..." Is going to

Presumably Microsoft fear making it easy to swap OSes and access the same data. "I can use Linux because if I get stuck I can just switch to Windows and still access my data" is a comfort that probably keeps people from even tryin

I don't think I'd have found it disgusting pre- children, having been through the same myself, and barely ever having had new clothes throughout my childhood. Second-hand is just normal. However, have kids changes you - the green

We had a lidded bucket, dump any solids into the toilet, fold any remaining mess inside, put in bucket. We primed the bucket with water into which we put tea-tree oil (for scent and disinfectant purposes). Some people will use the toilet as

From the other end, yes extensions access all page data, but pages shouldn't access extension data at all; it feels like that should be the CORS violation.

You're right re [N]RSV in CoE. But I think of Anglican - perhaps wrongly - as extending outside CoE to encompass a range of reformed Protestant communions. I've seen NIV used in CoE too, but yes NRSV too and more often.

Oh, what? Is "eci" (eternal?) the origin of "Ecki Thump" - Yorkshire version of OMG?

Are you saying it's fine, iyo, for companies to use market position to work around consumer protection laws? I don't feel like Valve/Steam should be allowed to sell games they know are broken and then refuse refunds (they cou

by pbhjpbhj 6mo ago
^ This. I naively disputed Steam not honouring a refund (it was for about 0.5% of what I've spent with them up to that point), a couple of £pound at most. I'd paid by PayPal and as Steam refused to abide by UK law (Consumer Rights

Thanks for your help, I'll have a tinker with Playwright and see if I can get what I want.

Is any of the data on Gov.uk - any scrapping tips there? I've tried scraping some patent tribunal data but haven't been successful (just using Python (copying in session data), I guess Playwright might be useful there).

Have you spoken to any planners, a quick search for similar applications in other LAs might be a useful thing for them. There's a Royal Institute of Town Planners, they probably have a magazine you could advertise in (but equally that

How do you think energy policy is baked into the Constitution? People vote, so how does land have political power? Presumably you mean people in low population density get disproportionate representation in USA?
