@louis Let's be honest about this, though. Safari and every other browser could offer a full set of fully-styleable HTML5 form controls, plus a bunch of them.we only wish they offered, and web designers wouldn't use them. The median front end developer today doesn't know any HTML elements exist except for DIV.

@Dio9sys That is amazing and, honestly, aspirational.

@louis I really want to do a fun CL project. But I have personal projects blocking me! Not just work and kids!

@louis @pkw @screwtape @rml @mnl To be fair to LSP and Intellisense (but not to LLMs), I am just as dependent on SLIME for CL as I am to LSP for C#. And I grew up without those things!

@louis @pkw @screwtape @rml @mnl Maybe? I develop and deploy on SBCL, but also test on ECL.

@louis It's probably better now than it was 15 years ago, but back then, the big problem with stored procedures was maintenance - related. The development environments for stored procedures were bad, the procedural languages were bad, the code lived entirely in the database, so you couldn't version control it directly; you could only version control a copy and hope nobody made the two diverge by working directly in the database. Also, until RDBMSs started building in JSON support, there wasn't really any generally useful output they could produce for web apps to use. I still have nightmares about mod_plsql.There was also the idea, which is routinely violated today anyway, that you only want one (1) layer of your code to contain business logic, and since your application server has to have it regardless, that's the place to put it. Whether that was a good idea or not, the front-end demons drove a stake through that one years ago, so now it's axiomatic your business logic will be smeared across multiple code bases.

I'm remarkably surprised to see that so many people's Emacs workflow depends on registers. I think in the 30 years I've used Emacs, I've used registers maybe 5 times.I really do think there should be a backwards-compatibility option that works, but it also makes me think there's an XKCD for everything.https://xkcd.com/1172/

The truth is that we live in a universe that is fundamentally hostile to life, and doubly so to conscious life. So we owe it to each other to be as gentle and caring to each other as we can be, because we know what it's like, and because no one else will.

@nixCraft #ed is the standard.The reason #Emacs is doing poorly in this poll is that Emacs users know ed is the standard text editor.

@stefano @gurgle Yeah, the biggest problem for old phones is that the manufacturer, if they release sources to their kernel modifications at all, just pitch it over the wall, and it quickly becomes impossible to rebase them on newer kernels. So even if you build a new AOSP for an old phone, it's always on an old kernel.

@tyil @jrballesteros05 I've already started thinking of the web as "Babylon". You go onto it when you have to, in order to "render unto Caesar".

Amazing to me that people still use password auth for SSH in $YEAR.
