It’s so christians can eat bees during fasting. duh.

While he advocates for it, that’s also a point that Martin brings up multiple times when he talks about his project “fitnesse”.

Basically saying that they left it open how stuff can be saved, but the need has never arisen to actually pivot to a different system.

Introducing a Captcha on a form on my website basically blocked bots 100% of the time. It’s arguably good enough from a practical standpoint.

If someone really wants to exploit my site, then they will find a way. You can only make it harder but never truly impossible if you don’t want to dispose of all convenience.

My point is sematics.

You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

I don’t really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don’t get why the prof didn’t argue against.

Oh boy.

We had a class in the first semester of uni where we had to create a static html page based on a screenshot.

There was this one textbox at the top of the site, where the only way you could recreate the screenshot was by using a <br/> in the middle of the text.

The prof was very picky about your HTML being semantically thorough and correct, so that was super weird that that was necessary.

Ha, that’s funny. When I run some Visual Studio builds on Windows it completely freezes at times.

Never have that issue on EOS with KDE.

Hamster are much like lobsters, in that they just keep growing forever until they can’t molt anymore.

If you don’t laser explode hamsters, they would eventually be able to eat humans. Which is quite scary if you think about it.

Unfortunately I can’t help you with Nobara, but I’m surprised you’re having troubles with EndeavourOS.

EOS has been working out of the box for me for almost everything.

I’d have recommended it as well.

Popular stuff is usually available in most languages.

Meme is funny, but that exception used as flow control hurts.

Would you still love me if I were a millipede? 🥺👉👈

Semi related: There’s a cool rabbit hole you can dive into when it comes to coastline lengths of some countries. Specifically the UK.

Depending on who measured the coastline and with which method the results can be wildly different because there’s always some form of simplification required. See this video for example: Link

So stupid. Everyone knows we use bunny eggs for easter.

It doesn’t compile or transpile in actuality. It generates Java based on an abstract syntax tree. The concrete syntax is not considered in Java generation by MPS.

Because it was easier to use Java primitives than implement the constants myself.

MPS uses projectional editing. Which means for the user that everything you do is free from concrete syntax, and you basically edit a graphical representation of that abstract syntax tree directly, while it looks like you’re in a textual editor.

So I define abstract nodes that may have certain relationships with each other and then give them a representation in the editor (which is what you see in the screenshot). These nodes may also have generators assigned to them, which use map/reduce operations to generate whatever source code I desire. It usually includes its own bit of code, and triggers code generation of its children as well.

I hope that was somehow clear 😄

Great idea if I have to extend it

I like the way you think! 😂

Yes, it pretty much just wraps the expression in a “System.out.println(<expression>);”

Fortunately I generate Java source code from it. However MPS generates both source and byte code when you build the solution. For some reason I can’t get the byte code to run though, but the source code does, so I don’t care too much.
