Excellent indeed. But how to use it? Policy code is where the huge number of exceptions-to-the-rule live, but can't be avoided in real context

I grew up hearing about the legendary "bad hair day" that was a terminally serious ordeal for the big-hair girls of the 80s and early 90s. I am having my equivalent today: "bad tech day." Chargers aren't working as expected, I can't get mobile data to work on Verizon, and I couldn't even get the radio to turn on in the car for a while. It's one of those days...

Wait... am I doing this right? I'll just go back to RPN and lisp...

Thanks for the help on order of operations, geeks. Here's a handy guide I made that may help you

I learned that HDMI cables require more power than VGA cables. Today I learned that some USBC cables can throughput less power than others; phones cords typically max out at 18w, while my dock really wants 100w. My friends, I would much rather stick to trying to debug my project's transitive dependency version conflicts. I hate hardware.

TIL Raku is the next Perl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raku_(programming_language)

@souldessin to be clear, it wasn't the :hover selector that broke. It was the webdev tool "make it hovered" that worked in FireFox but not the same in Chrome

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)
