What a mess… sounds like the devs got burned by various Unicode edge cases RTL, etc

Oof. That sounds horrible

Is it because of the lower case Latin æ since it’s technically one character even if two bytes?

Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

It’s not a waste of time… it’s a waste of space. But it does allow you to “enforce” some schema. Which, very few people use that way and so, as a data store using JSON works better.

Or… we could go back to old school records where you store structs with certain defined lengths in a file.

You know what? XML isn’t looking so bad now.

If you want to break the AI ask instead what regex you should use to parse HTML.

I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS!!!

Besides. Somebody has to convert customer needs into the diagram. Account for what they’re not saying, etc.

That’s the real essential skill in software dev, not spitting out lines of code.

Static files as in static file handling in a web server no CGI, modules, server side code required.

And 451 is always covered with police tape and it’s smells something awful in there

Occasionally somebody bars the front door of 500 Oceanview lane and nobody can get in

Not sure. Like any field I suspect there’s specialties including people who do research/modeling vs consuming that data and advising based on it.

Code and snippets to analyze data work well when you can send chunks of it to multiple servers (think analyzing the effect of weather patterns).

Since a lot of that stuff is running on Linux (similar to cloud computing) it makes sense that people that write function/scripts/utilities would already be comfortable in that environment and use it as their daily driver.

Exactly. At the end of the day there’s nothing being transmitted with OTP and using a standard app isn’t an issue.

That one i get at least. But race condition is using race in the sense of a competition.

Makes sense. And if it’s not relative to the content you just put decorative only right?

So…

Welcome to Firefox ([Logo for Firefox] marked as decorative)

vs

Our sponsors are [Logo for Microsoft] [Logo for Firefox] [Logo for Google]

It’s a neat option but the example proof of concept alt text “The Firefox logo”, as I understand it, it isn’t ideal for describing the image.

Maybe something like this?

The Firefox logo which consists of a Fox wrapped around a sphere
