I’ve seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I’ve wondered how those communities have fared since, since they’d have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.

It’s like a weaponized grade of whatever they made CSS in JS out of

Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don’t have a link, and I’m not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there’s something to that.

On Castle, no less.

New gets… Weird

I exclusively surf “top 6 hours” and I’ve actually noticed an uptick in niche community content, lately. Different kind of growth, maybe a sort of settling into itself, finally.

Oof, I felt this

Always felt more like a hammer to me.

Questionable! There was the whole thing when Jessica Walter spoke out about Jeffery Tambor that was very disappointing.

This thread is really alarming if you’re like me and got Patrick Bateman confused with Jason Bateman

From the welcome page

my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve

Seems like it worked!

I do web dev on a daily basis, and I tend to think of HTML as “formatted” data.

A database has data in it, but it’s in a format of columns and rows, like a spreadsheet.

My application fetches that raw data and uses code to manipulate it - it can inspect it, rewrite it, combine it with other data from other places, validate it against rules - all sorts of stuff.

Since my app is a web app, all that code is designed to use the data formatted in columns and rows from the database, and use it to generate new data in HTML format to send to the browser.

Technically, writing HTML for a browser is a form of programming - it’s a set of instructions that tell the browser how to display the data in the HTML. It’s not considered programming in a professional* sense, though, as HTML doesn’t get, send, change, or process data. Its purpose is as a format for data to be sent and read by something else (the browser).

*professional as in job titles that affect your salary

This comment warms my pre-modern-eastern-history-degree having heart

Seconded. I’m a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies

Fellow Vue enjoyer! I love Vue, it’s so friendly. Maintaining a complex React app feels like getting dragged behind a truck down a one way road.

(Did you like my two way data binding joke there?)

Can confirm ☹️

I hate that thing

That is literally what it is :D

Only if it’s one per extremity. Like running around on your middle fingers

If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.
