Then, #HTML5 via @WHATWG - I loved many ideas but it was clear it was mostly for application development, not information rich Web sites. And which software had to change the most? User agents. This goes back to my issues with Cartesian Duality - we need most of what we created.

We now live mostly in a browser monoculture. Around 1998 <layer> v <div> dramas in DHTML (hahaha) and I thought "maybe an open source shared engine would bring better interop, backward compatibility, #A11Y, competitive features anywhere but the rendering engines." Oh, naive me!

The @w3c is doing a fine service in specs to reiterrate their audience is implementors. This was not clear to many in early years. This by design makes any tech interpreted by a browser BROWSER TECH first. To understand #Webdev is to understand browsers/user agent implementation.

The use of inline styles and !important in #Javascript #Frameworks who are presented by people dissing the Cascade and specificity seem to not understand that inline styles are powerful because of their *specificity*. !important works for about 10 of us in our user style sheets.

Oh I hate this too. My family, most especially my Mom, refused to participate in "Hallmark Holidays." She was a socialist, feminist, LGBTQ+ advocate and founding mother of multicultural edu. To her all a symbol of hegemoniacal capitalist predators who put parents in homes to die.

What a sweet photo. I'm so sorry, it's harder sometimes than certain humans as love is usually conditional with our species. Not so with Columbus. He was, and remains loved for real love always transcends death. All my heart to you and yours xo/m

To me it doesn't sound crazy at all. It sounds like a condition or comorbidities which are in fact more common than most care to admit, much less to ourselves ;-)

What, you don't just wing it ;-)
I'll just MollySplain. I'm not sure that's an improvement. But it's usually got some legs and a bit of bite if that helps? And I am the definition of snark. :P Always in your court!

Ex-friend thought I was his sister and then went on to tell ME about how cool this guy he met in a wheelchair was. And that it's ok as a 60 year old for him to let exotic dancer light a hula hoop as a guest in a home with kids asleep. She was a pro so it was surely safe.😯 Um no.

Intermittent in so many conditions, often comorbid. Spectrum issues. Empathy disorders, traumatic brain injuries, pharmaceuticals, substance abuse, cluster-b personalities, (C)-PTSD, Dysthmia, brain cancers, aphasia, hypoxia. Seen it too many times in family and friends. Myself.

Do you mean as in the clinical form of Disassociative Identity Disorder or a seeming split in behavioral traits but person is oriented to name, time, place, date, etc? Curious me.

Las Vegas, Nevada: The City of Ugly Truths and Beautiful Lies. Yeah, nothing quite like going there. If you're in Arizona, you actually go through a ghost town named, yep: Nothing, Arizona. #WednesdayTourist en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothin…

I've always been grateful I was somehow gifted with the ability to entertain myself and never be bored. Hopefully, you get a stimulus check and are able to get the income incoming soon for you! Arizona's Governor is taking it on the chin hard for extending lockdown orders.

What you are is true to ideals. If that makes us unhip, we can sit at another table :D

Also: CSS can and has historically often been generated from the backend. W3C at MIT is in fact in the STATA center. Dept.? AI. If you want to style a rocket, submit a new @media query. Github awaits! Or, just use JS frameworks, 10,000 !important declarations and inline CSS.
Replying to @StasKlymenko
CSS, HTML both require interpretation. That's not all you need. Browsers, OSs, TCP/IP, https, #a11y complete. UX/UI. The point? CSS is misused, misunderstood and is so abstracted it has lost a lot of declarative language. CSS != dynamic tech to me. Education is not consistent.

I can only imagine what kind of eccentric will buy it. Gracious me. I could not live there. It's the stuff made of dystopian nightmares!
