My Biff adventure continues. It is really good to learn backend while keeping frontend madness level low enough. biffweb.com/

@lambduhh @SeanCorfield Learning Clojure makes you a better developer/problem solver in any other language. The only issue is you will refuse to touch any other language afterwards.

@veer66 I guess there is some connection there. But it mostly just takes effect if you feed that element to some other processor which you've instructed to treat the args as such, such as CSS or JS, right?

I was today years old when I learned that "upper case" and "lower case" comes from the literal cases of movable type letter blocks stored in cases on shelves.

Email received with "Fatal" in the title. Next email subject was "Hyperbole". The first one gets thrown out, and the second one knows why.

Ah, this is cool. Rosetta Code may be just what I need when I want to know, "what does that language even look like?"

Plus, learned new stuff. `cycle` has actually been there from the start!?

Got it! I installed a bunch of fonts to my last week and, some reboots later, today I realized that I am seeing the actual characters!

(webdev Tory) :emacs:  
What fonts do I need to fix this problem?

Trying to explain argument variables to my kid brother and realized that HTML and CSS don't have functions that take args. Case there against them being programming languages?

Not comfortable as far as UI UE or not comfortable as far as security/privacy?

@veer66 If it's the platform that determines privacy and regulation, then I would argue that web as platform is inherently open and transparent, more secure

@veer66 I've never even seen a kebab place here, other than that souvlaki place (UT, USA)

This UN election seems important for anyone who cares about an open web.

"The election reflected...ideological divides over the future of the internet, with the US and its allies favoring a highly interconnected system governed equally...

A victory for Russia...would likely have meant the consolidation of power under individual governments to set rules and standards for communications technology...from cellphones to satellites, and the internet within their borders."
