You’re absolutely right about how no one has to respond or keep a conversation going past its expiration date. If anything, I just find it odd to match with someone and not take it any further.

I forget how they retrieved it.

You get an angry upvote for that. 🙄 🤣

I don’t think they needed surgery.

I’ll give you two guesses. The first guess (#1) doesn’t count. 😉

I read the first comment as if they said pecan. I read your comment as if you said pecan.

~And is toucan pronounced the same way?~

Without knowing more details, what you describe sounds like you abandon the relationship the moment you feel bored. And I don’t entirely blame the woman you’re dating for being hesitant.

But keeping things cool itself doesnt need any energy

My electric bill disproves this statement. Otherwise, why would we need electrical devices that remove heat from things?

Congrats! You’ve reached full boomer status. Would you like some tapioca pudding?

In my experience, “young adult” refers to a specific stage in life, and takes place directly after teenage, but before your 30s (i.e. 20-30). In fact, the fact that the word adult is in “young adult” does imply that they are adults, just more to their larval stage.

So is /dev/null.

If you have an evening (or all weekend), and really want to blow your mind, look up Low Byte Productions on YouTube and look up their JavaScript videos.

Here’s how I approach old and slow:

1. Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
2. Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.

I believe it was more because in database terminology there were masters and slaves for replication. Version control came under fire soon after.

So I’m clear, are you referring to the @layer CSS at-rule? Or, something else?

You’re absolutely right. My idea is to imply that developers should give their semantics actual thought and intention.

For your example, the X button can be called .dismiss, since typically that’s what clicking the X does; whereas cancelling something may have more meaning (e.g. cancelling a subscription, which triggers other actions aside of dismissing a modal window).

I imagine the better argument (in my opinion) would be to not use generic names such as btn, as they are redundant and offer little self-documentation of their use.

Instead, I believe a combination of selectors and classes would be more meaningful, and encourage readability. For this particular scenario, I would go with a button selector to give all <button> tags a consistent basic styling, and use aptly-named classes like .cancel, .primary, and .destructive to add more styling for specific button purposes.

Then if I need to find all Cancel buttons, I can use a button.cancel query selector and only get Cancel buttons.

Learn CSS layers, use CSS layers.

What are CSS layers? I’m legitimately curious.

I once interviewed at a company that bragged about not using version control or FTP, and how everyone made their changes in production.

~I’m so very glad I didn’t get that job.~

Donkey Shame!

I do understand what blockchains are; my question is more to whether they are used outside of cryptocurrencies or not.

~I do also like your explanation.~

So I’m clear, does blockchain always refer to those *coin currencies? Or is it be used for other purposes too?

And kid gamers can be annoying, lol. The same complaints were happening when Fortnight was on the rise.

I have a 12 and 10 year old, and boy do they love gaming (Roblox, fortnight, Minecraft, and a myriad of other games). Roblox terminated both my kids accounts over what they perceived as a threat against a minor from my 12 yo. I don’t remember the exact comment , but it certainly wasn’t terminate his and his brother’s accounts bad.

That aside, 99% of the interactions they’ve had online have been super nice; as in helping each other out by gifting them in-game items and currency because the other person asked nicely (and vice versa).

I don’t doubt there are asshole kids out there. But I haven’t heard of them personally so far. I am grateful for that too.

But, back to my original point: Roblox is very bad.
