A handy thread to help break the div habit. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1501506685155696640.html

Handy. I need to remember these.

🏙 Should we use Semantic HTML?

I usually do my CSS (WordPress) webdev in FireFox, but check it in chrome sometimes. I just found that some CSS selectors work in FireFox but fail in Chrome, and the same for adding ":hover" attribute. Anyone else seen Chrome playing by different CSS rules than others?

I just experienced #emacs rectangle-mark-mode for the first time, though I've been using rectangles for a long time. This allows me to make a rectangle easily even when neither first nor the last line are the longest. Nice!

Now trying to figure out: how do I change my mouse sensitivity from the command line? #linux

PHP 7 created breaking changes from PHP 5. This is where having a disconnect between our server admin (with good security concerns) and our client's [lack of] developers on a 6+ year old webapp really bites.

These Superscripts are gonna kill me. I wish they showed up in the copy-paste...

Current project: getting these to render in raw HTML (actually transpiled from Hiccup which is much nicer)

When things are just failing to work, but with no error -- and they've been working fine for years. No recent system updates, either. ARGH!

But then, in a rather un-linux moment, rebooting the machine seems to have cleared the problem.

Is js null truthy in Clojurescript? Not only do I not know the answer, I don't even know how to write it. I thought it might be js/null, but no dice. Anyone?

something every web dev should read. I wish I'd read it long ago: the precise arithmetic of CSS selectors. https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors-4/#specificity-rules

@tennoseremel@mstdn.io awesome! There can I learn more about those preference numbers for selectors? I have never seen it given numeric precision before.

@glidedon@noagendasocial.com yikes! But agree or not, at least the gov't claims duty to support needs. No such promise with incidentally functional business features.

Ouch. The pain of basing your business on someone else's .

Mutability and scope issues are two things I'm not usually pained by
