  1. I wouldn't say I'm betting on htmx, but I do hope it takes off. But I'm just one old-school dev who started Web in 1995 and has never really embraced JS. In my mind it's more of a necessary annoyance than something I want to deal with, and discovering htmx as a way of moving back to a more HATEOAS world has me excited

  2. We still use jQuery 👍🏽

  3. As an old guy who wrote his first Web page and cgi-bin programs in 1995, I'm tickled pink to see the trend back towards doing more stuff on the server. Huzzah!

  4. Hey, when I started writing HTML we used <BR>, so that <br> doesn't look so bad now, does it?

  5. Graham Hicks is from around my way (Morecambe). I've never met him, but I follow his career from afar. Would love to see him take BSM again at the end of the month

  6. I'm a JavaScript eschewer, but I have to admit this app and Expo look pretty interesting. The AT protocol too feels like something to play with

  7. On the mucous production aspect, I gave up milk and other dairy for ethical reasons rather than health specifically, but I did find my breathing got a lot better. I'd spent most of my life breathing through my mouth as my nose was seldom clear, but these days I can breathe through my nose most of the time. Sadly I've yet to find a plant-based milk that doesn't split in my coffee

  8. It's funny, because I think of "Classic" as being where the sweaty try-hard gamers should be, and retail for casual 55 year old dads like me

  9. "Works with your favourite language"; PHP not mentioned. Fair.

  10. Do you have a version with higher quality screen presentation? It's hard to follow what's going on with such a pixelated view

  11. Not everything needs a "professional" or "medical" diagnosis. People who are gay or bisexual self-diagnose, for example. People can often recognise relevant traits and feelings within themselves, relate those to the experiences and behaviours of others and draw parallels and meaningful conclusions. Would you say a gay man is using the homosexual "excuse" for why they're not interested in female partners?

  12.  @mazdakkite  No, but I am saying ADHD is not an illness.

  13. Yeah, imagine thinking Jake might be wrong about this! 😂 I didn't realise he wasn't working on Chrome/at Google any more

  14. He said "specific version for mobile"

  15. Another excellent conversation. I've been introduced to so many inspirational people and new languages through this podcast. Heisenbugs remind me of the olden days when I used to write C in the 80s/early 90s; compiling in debug mode often meant a crash would no longer manifest itself because whatever buffer was being overrun no longer trashed anything quite so important. I was a novice programmer too, so had little idea about any other debugging techniques. Irrelevant to this podcast, but just a fun bit of reminiscing

  16.  @RegisBodnar  I actually wrote PERL scripts and C programs for cgi-bin back in the olden days. Not quiet "I remember when all this was fields", but it wasn't much more than a few rudimentary huts

  17. 1 minute in - she was never vegan. Can't be arsed with the rest.

  18. I'm more in the on-release camp. So many times I do that "click - oops! - drag off the control - release" thing. For FPS games, sure, act upon press. For most UIs, nope.

  19.  @farang_lao  huh? He says "specifically" at around 5:06. I searched the transcript and it doesn't contain the word "spastic" at all. Maybe we're seeing different transcripts
    3
  20.  @farang_lao  I've listened again, and at 4:05 for example he says "likely you need to build a specific version for mobile". I agree that through speakers at moderate volume it can sound like "spastic", but through my headphones I don't hear a "t". I think it's the way he pronounces it, "spesfic", or with more of an emphasis on the first syllable; unlike how a British speaker would stress the second. But I think he's Singaporean (where English is the main language I believe), so it's fair to accept he pronounces things differently. I agree the term in question isn't one we should be using, if that is indeed what's he's saying

  21. I used the URL for state back in 1995. Boy, was I ahead of my time! cgi-bin 4 lyfe!

  22. They already pulled this shit with the comment dislike button. It was inevitable. The bastards.

  23. In my case, it's not the blood per se_. But it is the taste and texture package. I didn't go vegan because I didn't like the _taste of a beef burger, I went vegan for the animals. And I do sometimes miss those taste and texture experiences. I've only tried Beyond burgers, but they do a fantastic job of emulating the sensation of eating a beef burger. I'm hard pushed to know the difference, especially once all the trimmings are added. As for better for health or not; there are plenty of junk food vegans who aren't in it for the health benefits, and care more about the ethics of it.

  26. Yep, England (and the UK more widely, but I feel like it's worse in England) has plenty of racists. Has done for decades. Enoch Powell's "rivers of blood" speech was in 1968, but it didn't start with him. The National Front and British National Party may have gone underground, renamed etc. but the sentiment is ever-present in some sections of our society. The riots were fuelled by that, anti-immigration scapegoating and populism, and the ease with which some people are manipulated. I remember when people were more overtly racist in their everyday lives during the 70s and 80s. It was not a pleasant experience, and I very much hope we don't see that normalisation rise again.

  27. Upgraded from my Pixel 2 to a Pixel 6 Pro, but I'm kinda meh about it. It's OK, but there's nothing about it that's striking me as a significant improvement over my previous phone. I really hope there's a way to turn off the incessant "bounce" elasticated animations. They're really annoying.

  28. Just had a look at ZOE. I'm interested, but the muffins aren't vegan. =(

  29. This was fascinating! I followed some of it, but some parts definitely went over my head. I don't have any big data to process, but I'll find some reason to give it a whirl. I enjoyed it all the more because it made me think "if Jürgen Klopp wrote database engines" ♥🥰

  30. Hehe, I started with Fortran back in the 80s, then some C and C++. But lately I've turned my gaze upon Go, Gleam and Zig. They look shiny after doing PHP for the past 20 years

  31. I was expecting something by Rush. I was disappointed, but I was not disappointed 👍🏽

  32. YES! YES! OMG! YES!

  33. As a UK child of the 80s there were a few I'd never heard of, and several that were definitely not one-hit wonders in the UK (Kajagoogoo, Soft Cell, Dex'y's, A-ha for example). A Flock of Seagulls is an interesting one as "Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)" was a much bigger hit than "I Ran (So Far Away)" in the UK. I'm incredulous that Madness are a "one hit wonder" in the US. They were huge in the UK in the 80s, and still hitting the top 10 in the 90s. They band I've seen most times live after Muse.

  37. As a vegan I can accept that it might not be optimal in some respects, but it's an ethical perspective in my case. So being vegan might take more effort, but that's worth it. I don't think I'd go fully plant-based purely for health. As for supplementation, it's reasonable to note that people who are eating animal products (and many supermarket products) are supplementing by proxy, either because the foods are fortified, or the animals they're eating were fed on supplemented feeds. Overall he has the right approach though I feel.

  38.  @Lamz..  What's a stretch? That we eat fortified foods and animal feed is supplemented? You don't have to take my word for it, and I'm not here to convince you. Do your own research if you want. Or just look at cereal boxes for examples of fortification. Yes, I have a good idea of how our foods are produced. I eat the same vegetables anyone else does, there's isn't a special vegan-only supply.
    1
  39.  @Lamz..  I've no issue with fortification. I think it's necessary, particularly due to degraded soil quality. Most beef isn't "grass-fed" - even less so in the way I think you mean it in terms of grazing green fields - let alone all the pork, chicken etc. But I'm not here to have an argument. You eat what you like

  40. The more votes the Green Party gets, the more money they get to help with costs (Short Money - £42.82 for every 200 votes at the moment), even if they don't win the seats. So even if you don't think they'll win, a vote for them helps them (same with the other parties of course). I'm not a fan of tactical voting. I'm sure Green won't win in my constituency, but I'm voting for the change I want to see happen, so Green it is.

  42. This was very interesting to watch, even four years on. Jamie Oliver thinks about this stuff and gets it far more than I'd realised and given him credit for, even with the school dinners project years ago

  44. Have another GE so what? We can put the Tories right back in? Hilarious. This Labour lot are a sham, it's true, but unless we're going to elect an actually progressive government, I'll wait and see.

  45. Just don't make me work with SOAP again

  46.  @PatNeedhamUSA  Hehe! I started with Fortran (Fortran IV and FTN77/386 in the late 80s). I even wrote my first Windows program in Fortran using the ClearWin library 😭😭

  47. Key depletions are like the old MMORPGs where you lost XP if you died. Reward completion with a higher key, sure, but there's no need to punish a failed attempt. As for the Race to World First, I admit to enjoying watching it. But I still agree that's not what raiding should be tuned around. If Echo knock over 9 bosses in 3 days, fine. I'll just watch the race for 3 days rather than 2 weeks.

  49. I'm surprised people are taught to hill start using only clutch. I guess things were different in the 80s/90s. I was taught to - and still do - use the accelerator and handbrake. Get the bite point, feel the car sit down on its haunches then let off the handbrake while giving it some juice.

  50. I don't think Green will win my constituency, but they're getting my vote anyway. If Labour win a huge majority, I reckon there's almost zero chance they'll even consider PR. Many Labour CLPs are in favour of PR and Conference voted for it in 2022, but the national party don't want it

  51. I dunno, when I was a kid in the 70s I learnt a billion was a million million. It took me decades to begrudgingly accept a billion as a mere thousand million. I still try to argue a billion is a million million, albeit without much success.

  52. I've been programming for 35 years, having used Smalltalk, Fortran, C, C++ and others, and like to think I know my craft reasonably well; then along comes someone like GingerBill who clearly operates many levels above me 😂

  53. Since there's no law that requires bicycles to have speedo fitted, it would be pretty harsh holding people to a limit (of course, many people have GPS head units, but that's buy choice rather than a requirement)
