Currently apoplectic that the Speech Recognition API hears “fuck” and outputs ['f***']. You puritanical Christian dickheads are at it again aren't you?

Like “F star star star” is literally not what I said. You are wrong, you have programmed it wrong.

"You're old"

"Well, given matter can neither be created or destroyed, we're actually the same age. The perpetual process of our being recycled is just a little out of sync."

"That's such a millennial thing to say"

Found this in the garden of the other kids during a playdate. Wasn't sure what to say to their mother.

Me, a front-end developer: “This design is inaccessible, we need to do [x] to fix it. Users will thank us.”
Them: “We'll need to check with the design department.”
Me: “Look at me. I am the designer now.”

I brought a couple of copies of Minima Morlia by exiled Judeo-Marxist critical theorist and aphorist Theodor Adorno to @ReactConfBognorRegis with a personal note from me inside to give to the first people who ask for them!

Life does not live!

Inscription on inside cover by me, reading "eat a dick, christofascists"

@cferdinandi I thought your take was funny, I just didn't have a hard copy of the Satanic Bible!

I'm writing about the <article> element now. To preempt myself, I just want to say: it's completely useless. I never use it. Why? Because it's designed to represent an independent piece of content BUT since the document outline algorithm has never been implemented and the element (inevitably) appears as part of a larger web page, it should be introduced with an <h2> heading. BUT it makes no sense to head an "independent, distributable" piece of content with a subsection heading. Trash 0/5.

heydon,
@heydon@front-end.social avatar

@yatil The implication that <h2> means "this belongs to something else" just kind of kills it for me. I'm not saying using it is wrong as such though.

heydon,
@heydon@front-end.social avatar

@yatil Haha. Yeah, I think my brain goes "independent and distributable means it's own document and documents should have one <h1> heading" but some or all of that may be some sort of cognitive distortion.

heydon,
@heydon@front-end.social avatar

@boldewyn @yatil yeah, that's what I mean by the document outline algorithm (implementation of automatic heading levels).

What can you say about the <area> element?

heydon,
@heydon@front-end.social avatar

I'm starting to kind of like <map> and <area> again. Like, you could make links that were not box-shaped! That's pretty cool.

@tanepiper Nice! It was a great way to get around things like border-radius and web fonts (!) not existing.
