Does anyone know why tiny desktop computers (I hesitate to call them mini computers because I'm that nerd) are all over the algorithms lately? Everyone wants to sell me one claiming they're good for everything and, I guess that's fine? But why is this a thing now?

If the attribute isn't bound to css it probably won't reflow BUT it looks like how you select the node might trigger reflows. you can test this with devtools usint Paint Flashing

Ok, so I noticed the instance I actually want to be a part of is sorta allowing new members but if I'm going to make that happen, I'm going to have to engage and add value and demonstrate that I am a good nerd who can bring wisdom and interesting growth to those around me. Here goes:

Hi! I'm Meredith and I'm single-handedly responsible for major telcos all over the world running hardware deployment big data "apps" that are in fact static html pages and I'm not sorry.

Hey, anyone got any advice on how to transition from a very experienced, spoiled developer to a stupidly overpaid consultant? Asking for me.

Hey @SinclairLore , can you make a podcast of Sophie getting very upset at the theory that the formless odeon from Bloodborne is the formless mother from elden ring?

Here's another: I don't know why people seem to forget this, but one book of the bible is just one epic erotic poem.

Inspired by @paulrpotts, I ordered rice directly from Lundberg. First up is the black pearl. It cooked up perfectly on the white rice setting in the zojirushi. Texture is dense and chewy, it doesn't puff up nearly as much as brown or white rice.

I mean, yeah, and crypto-blog articles hit my feed every few days, trying to tell me what Robert Kiyosaki thinks, for some reason too. But still, listen to the quiet.

ok before that: i do think a worthwhile tactic is feigning ignorance and sharing info almost as gossip. like—“omg I thought so too! but i just saw this article about xyz, have you seen it? i was shocked to learn that…”

it’s surprisingly difficult but i’ve seen it work well

You know, it's funny. Dan Simmons writes women badly and I want to throw the book into the sun, but Clive Barker writes women badly and I love it and can't get enough.

Me: what's that one amazing song they play at coronations? I might tune in for that.
My Brain: Zardoz The Priest!

Me: what is wrong with you
