Lol.
I'm building a tool that summarizes what what a company does based on their website.
Most common type of answer:
"The company specializes in web development and optimization, as suggested by the presence of JavaScript related to rendering the webpage efficiently and measuring performance metrics like render time and cacheability. They also seem to be utilizing tools like ResizeObserver and PerformanceObserver to enhance user experience and optimize page loading."
Their HTML is so bad that anything that's not a full blown browser simply cannot parse it.
Or, in other words: their website is crap, inaccessible, invalid and bloated.
And coincidentally therefore unfriendly towards AI, bots and quite probably most humans that don't have the most powerful machines with modern browsers and 100% eyesight and such.
In an era of algorithmical movies (and series and music) I thought I had seen it all. Was convinced movies would either be (for me) unwatchable artsy, or forgettable bland amusement.
But here's the proof I was wrong. Truly original. Weird. Just the right amount of discomfort. Funny, sad, empowering. And taught me new insights about my position as western white male in an unfair society.
Truly impressive how all that fits perfectly in one #movie.
> And it’s just part of the general budget—the government can use it however they want. But I’ve noticed that they’ve paid down some of their debt, which is pretty unusual. They’ve eliminated property taxes on residential buildings. So we’re doing well, I would say.
Sometimes I'm reminded that the internet is also a nice place. This is one of em.
So the #EU forces #Apple to allow alternative #Appstores, breaking their monopoly.
Apple retaliates with scare mongering (we do it for your security) and with making all EU users pay additional fees. That's incredibly smart. The way a Bond Villain is incredibly smart.
I'm truly baffled by how insane the map/reduce/filter iterator API for #Python is. Most languages, even JavaScript, have some sort of "other_list = the_list.map().filter()" API. Except Python (and PHP?).
Now, I can imagine that a language that primarily deals with string manipulation or DOM management or so, to have a crappy API for handling large lists of data. But python's entire success comes from "handleing large lists of data", yet the tools to do so are infuriating.
No the definition is the same, just more specific in software.
Here is the definition of software ergonomics (soft ergonomics) which is clearly in line with the general definition:
Soft ergonomics is the study of designing virtual interfaces that cater towards the wellness of the human body, its emotional and cognitive abilities.
Soft ergonomics is a subset of ergonomics and human factors engineering, a larger body of the study of human abilities for designing equipment and devices that fit the human body. Soft ergonomics can be thus defined as the ability of any virtual interface(computer application, website, ATM options, parking meter etc.) to make it comfortable for the user to use the interface while working on the user's request.
Adtech industry: Wait! No laws, please! We'll self-regulate.
Introduces a weird double negative, hard to use Do-not-track system (headers, buried browser setting, defaults off)
People: ok. We'll use that.
Adtech: oh shit. People actually use it.
Adtech: you know what? We'll just ignore it anyway. They're more like guidelines than actual rules.
This is why we need government regulation. #GDPR and more.
Why are all the box offices and large cinemas playing new films and not classics? I mean, there's an occasional new movie that turns out to be a classic. But classics are there, right? Easy to monetize, i'd think.
I'd love to watch the Matrix Trilogy again in a cinema. Or LOTR. Jaws. Reservoir dogs or most Tarantinos on a big screen.
Is this a European thing? The only places here that occasionally play some classics do so pirated. Why can't I just pay to see them?
Doing some #Rails freelancing lately. After mostly #rust work for a year, development is slow.
The lack of compiler and types- feedback is slowing me down terribly.
It often takes me hours or minutes to find out I made a stupid typo, or wrong assumption. With #rust the LSP (or just a cargo check) shows it immediate. In Ruby/Rails it takes a full run of the test-suite and often manual testing.
Static typing is a tool to speed up development. Don't believe the people who tell you otherwise.
Loose coupling.
«The key best practice of Tailwind is tight coupling. That is: the structure and styling are tied together. The semantic approach is the opposite: the structure and styling are loosely coupled»
For me the main reason to steer away from #tailwind (and lesser extend boostrap and bulma and such) and to just use semantic #css.
