When most people talk about HTML as being semantic the assumed meaning is unclear but usually meant to convey it relates directly to the content so a block quote is a block of quote. The other is avoidance of presentational description. It's inaccurate but it's a convention

I think the meaning here is when you're using the word semantic web you mean descriptive and not presentational. There is also the uppercase semantic web uppercase as proposed is something very different lowercase also. I'll do post please correct me if incorrect or vague.

It's a great question yet here's the truth there was a proposal for layout used for tables. It wasn't included in the spec. There was a period of time where they could be used if linearized to make beautiful logical and more accessible than now. Was hacking floats better?
That’s the question to answer.
If the yesterday’s tools for building websites were shown off today:
Would newer developers say, “that’s much easier” or “wow, you had it much harder”

In my opinion one of the best talks done by Sir Tim Berners-lee where he speaks very clearly, tells personal stories, speaks to the role of women in computing and the concerns for the world and dangers of human greed please take some time and watch

Sadly especially in predatory capitalism that which is given freely and openly is seen as suspicious and covert acts, money and power and greed as virtuous. Or worthy of mockery rather than admiration of nobility ñstrength and courage. How pitiful and unsustainable greed can be.

For Vint Cerf and co along with Al Gore to take a USA research project from military use and make it free, for sir Tim berners-lee and co to give freely and can be used to unify not separate the best of humankind from society and tech are the most noble examples of my own ideals

As fascinating history of the role of JavaScript and programmatic paradigms in the history of browsers and computation can be found via @lexfridman and @BrendanEich highly recommended check YouTube for clips as well as in-depth podcasts that are quite complex and enlightening.

There are so many people who don't get credit for the incredible contributions they made like say Chris wilson? @cwilso Any success I got came from a Brooklyn Born Jersey raised girl with a great big mouth and fearless attitude with a passion for the human use of the www.

This is the point the web standards project emerged in part because of DOM implementations. Yet AOL had some brilliant folk trying to lift it up. Kimmy blessing, Kevin Lawverr, Cindy Li, Eric Meyer, me, many others. Time Warner then outsourced it. That worked not at all ;-)

A personal thank you to everybody's interest in this time in web standards history because I'm spending my day right now revising work on a paper for exactly that. This is really helpful both as a walk down memory lane and improving the quality of the paper. I thank you so much!

Called the browser WARS dear Tom. Netscape Navigator was no joy (layer anyone?). And may I take a moment to honor a piece of history we seem to miss: @t and folks who built the Tasman Engine for Mac IE was a marvel we should talk more about. SO many great innovations and people.

Fairy godmother says shame on you.We did not try to destroy ie. Rather have a continued commitment. It was the work of many people both inside and outside msft struggling for advancement of CSlS implementation . This was the first mix and mash group, name some of the people.
This just in. Video of @mholzschlag announcing demise of Internet Explorer.

Well, for us web standards movement folk ends the longest battle we faced via the web standards project and advocates. 25 years of a world wide war finally comes to an end.
What a headline for me to see first with my tea.

We've surely witnessed a lot of strange occurrences these last few days but can somebody please explain to me what mysterious phenomenon this is underway at this very moment here in Tucson arizona? Your help would be very appreciated as I am quite confused.

What do you consider the definition of the word developer to be when it is used without a specific area of development? Example "I am a developer"

An example would be a medication that is then given a psychiatric medication in order to correct a psychiatric symptoms it causes or psychiatric symptoms that are caused by non-psychiatric drugs that are not treated they each need their own hashtags to keep the divisions focused.
Question for #prescribedharm folk. Any ideas how to expand the conversation to include harm that is caused by prescriptions requiring other prescriptions from or causing psychiatric harm? There's a lot of crossover to address without causing confusion or losing any ideas?

For my friends in the #prescribedharm discussions I've found for me unless faith forbids it for individuals ilt is not harm to prescribe what is now termed palliative sedation. It's used now in hospice for a peaceful final sleep. Who knew?
