Running the title though Google and looking at the discussions around it in various corners of the Internet seems to indicate it’s utter bunk.

Served as “flat files” - filesystem, object store, what have you. No server logic generating content, just passing around of strings and binary data. Files are the representation are the source of truth. Counter to a web app, where the content response is ephemeral and the “source of truth” is scattered across a writeable DB and recombinated (potentially) on every request.
Interesting question though, I (a web dev) just take the term for granted.
I feel a repressed memory or two stirring 😐
From the welcome page
my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve
Seems like it worked!
I do web dev on a daily basis, and I tend to think of HTML as “formatted” data.
A database has data in it, but it’s in a format of columns and rows, like a spreadsheet.
My application fetches that raw data and uses code to manipulate it - it can inspect it, rewrite it, combine it with other data from other places, validate it against rules - all sorts of stuff.
Since my app is a web app, all that code is designed to use the data formatted in columns and rows from the database, and use it to generate new data in HTML format to send to the browser.
Technically, writing HTML for a browser is a form of programming - it’s a set of instructions that tell the browser how to display the data in the HTML. It’s not considered programming in a professional* sense, though, as HTML doesn’t get, send, change, or process data. Its purpose is as a format for data to be sent and read by something else (the browser).
*professional as in job titles that affect your salary
Fuck material UI. Forever.
Seconded. I’m a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies
That is literally what it is :D
Plus a classic transformation into a found family narrative, mind you. That part is fun, if found families are your thing.
Gandhi. Seriously. Sleeping habits aside, dude was pro-apartheid.
I initially misread as “lecher” and was very confused.
That’s a whole can of worms
Sorry, I’m still watching the opening sequence of motion picture, I’ll let you know what I think when it’s done.
/snark
But for real, I feel like the last season of Picard was finally a chance to see the TNG TV characters in action in a TNG movie.
Given the psychological effect of owning a gun, or having access to one has on a person, I honestly feel like we’re in the same mental health territory as any behavioral antagonist, like leaving an addictive substance around an addict. You take a gun and put everything it means in a person’s hands - the power, the mythology, the kind of baggage it comes with in this country - and it’s gonna have some kind of effect.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve witnessed, and am aware of many cases where drivers of certain kinds of cars - big, fast, whatever - do stupid, reckless, dangerous, even murderous things because of the feeling of power and control their vehicle gives them. It’s the psychology of the damn things that makes people crazy.
We have a phrase for it, oddly enough: “it’s like leaving a loaded gun on the table”
Ugh, there’s that doom ulcer again
He’s so good. Too good - reading Blood Meridian was like having my face dragged across fresh gravel, but in a good way, somehow?
I read it as a post apocalyptic story, but I think mcarthy described it as a near future, non specific “ecological catastrophe,” which retrospectively recolored the story for me - tipped it from “The Walking Dead, except people” to “cautionary/exploratory speculative fiction on human survival in the face of collapse,” for me
They could just pay their fucking taxes so we can have trains
What’s the end game for these people? Is it hubris? Stupidity? Do they not think anyone’s gonna notice - and even so, how do you expect to fly under the radar with “solution to the unified field theory.”
