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?

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."

Who says you can't "write" new features with no power and a hurricane? Lol #graphpaper
I'm going to start calling it lisp-case. Much more dignified than kebab-case.

@worldsendless The parentheses are both balanced and unbalanced until you evaluate the expression.
Today I heard that a survey of our college students said "we hate responsive design" and want native apps instead. My career philosophy has been just the opposite -- web apps good (+ open source by default), native apps untrustworthy and wasteful.

The golden days of test-driven development (TDD) are only ahead of us. The way AI will replace programmers is that we will write tests and example cases and AI will write the implementation.
I had an issue with my gpg encrypted orgmode file of all my sensitive information suddenly failing to save -- it could decrypt, but not re-encrypt. I finally found the solution.
"Low-fidelity prototyping" in a talk. Little do they know I use #Clojure.
So much of what is said here about Lua is pertinent to #Clojure, too: nimble (tight core by design), not OOP, flexible (in part due to Lispiness), etc. I suppose the biggest difference is that Clojure is a hosted language -- which is mostly a pro, but sometimes a con. https://andregarzia.com/2021/01/lua-a-misunderstood-language.html

Today I was shown front-end code and later in the convo it was brought up the code was written by a backend developer and I said "Oh, that makes sense."
And based on the reaction I got, I probably shouldn't have said that out loud. Whoops. 😅
