- hecanjogI appreciate this perspective. I'm actually hoping LLM hype will help to pop the bubble of tech salaries, make the profession roughly as profitable as going into teaching, so maybe the gold diggers will clear out and go play the stock market or something, rest of us can stick around and build things. Maybe software quality will even improve as a result? Would be nice...
- You sure can! They all have inline defaults like `<span>` so set some CSS baseline on them as needed, but this is like the best kept secret of HTML or something? Unknown tags will become `HTMLUnknownElement` and behave like a span.
Edit: the reason for avoiding this in the past was name-spacing. But the standard says you can use a hyphen and then you're OK, native elements won't ever use a `-`.
Edit 2: also it's great because it works fine with CSS selectors too. Write stuff like `<image-container>` in plain HTML docs and it's fine.
Edit 3: but also `<albums>` tags and etc which won't be adopted into the HTML standard soon work too if they don't conflict with element names, and the rare case that they might be adopted in the future as an element name can be resolved with a simple text search/replace.
Edit 4: This all really has little to do with javascript, but you can use `querySelector` and `querySelectorAll` with any of these made up names the same as any native name too.
It's very nice to write. I used and liked vue for a little while when it was needed(?) but modern HTML fills that gap.
- I grew up in a twin city and it's OK. It isn't an insult, St Paul and Minneapolis are close. There's no "-tucky" understanding though. They are different cities and that's fine...
- I don't think that I am. I don't think that they want to be treated like they're 5, but I do think they don't want to put thought into it. We're training ourselves to offload critical thinking and I was surprised to see it driving the conversation here.
- It's common, I know what it means. It communicated its intent properly, I think. It's surprising to me that a venture capital finance site would need to clarify the difference between value and wealth, and I would be interested in hearing questions about this, but "ELI5" doesn't even meet the basic criteria for being a question. It asks no questions.
- Fair enough, but I disagree that it's a good question. "Explain it to me like I'm 5" (not even written out in words, just the abbreviation we all know) is not a curious place to come from, it is a desire for the quickest path to the end/payoff.
- "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg. The Batmobile lost its wheel and the Joker ran away." is the version I heard as a kid in the American midwest. It's fascinating to me that this rhyme was international at a time in my life before I'd ever heard about the internet.
Edit: Oh, it's simple. This is the version broadcast on The Simpsons TV show in 1989 and I must have heard it second-hand from my fellow students who were allowed to watch the Simpsons.

- What eras? I went to college in a non-populous place circa ~2001-2005 and in our state smoking bans were just starting to roll out then. Smoking was an everyone thing, and it was normal to go to smokey places on a regular basis even if you didn't smoke. That was nuts and bad of course, but it was normalized.
- What interests me about it is the unicode mosaic output format that looks higher quality than the usual upper half block or braille character approaches without needing to support a special protocol.
- I've used audiomoths for this. They can be configured to record at sampling rates up to 384kHz and be deployed with waterproof cases: https://www.openacousticdevices.info/audiomoth
- I used claude code for a while in the summer, took a vacation from LLMs and I'm trying it out again now. I've heard the same thing about Opus 4.5, but my experience with claude code so far is the same as it was this summer... I guess if you're a casual user don't get too excited?
- It looks like the pro is the version with the full framework laptop chassis, battery, etc, and the standard is the version in the coolermaster case. (The black one with antennas on top)
- This would make an interesting poll. I think that's possible here? Maybe with some karma threshold, I don't seem to be able to make one.
We use flask and go at work. I've been micro-framework or roll-my-own-framework most of my career. Go is new for me though, and it's grown on me enough that it's what I prefer for new web-facing projects even for little personal things.
- Computer music is as old as computers, live coding is pretty old too. (I posted this in the strudel discussion too: https://toplap.org/wiki/HistoricalPerformances) Maybe everyone doing live streams during the pandemic helped get visibility for live coding? It's interesting to see it kind of becoming popular now.
