the wrong UTF encoding is usually the issue

120 Days of Sodom

we had a (creative) writing workshop once where they said “write the worst possible dialogue you can!” with the idea that then we would read them back, and it’d be stuff like “I love you! I’d die for you!” “But you killed for me - that’s horrible!” etc and they’d point out it wasn’t actually that bad with a few tweaks and a good performance.

I kinda saw that coming so I wrote stuff like,

“Zbijgl, my old fart, my favmamort n n n n number is 183442356742255214676213566873225566333543”

“But my cat food is singing, it goes anganganganganganganganganganga”

and they were forced to concede that yes, it is possible to write truly bad dialogue.

if they’re using class=“card” then they’re likely using something like bootstrap in which the CSS is largely handled for you anyway

I am now discovering through these replies that seems to be the case. Maybe it’s a regional thing? im in SE USA

oh interesting - I’ve worked at 4 companies in 10 years, they all called it that.

sfdc (Salesforce dot com) is one of the biggest CRMs in the world and pretty much runs every sales department out there, adp (automatic data processing) is one of the biggest payroll systems in the world.

it’s highly likely you’ve interacted with either or both but maybe in a white-labelled way (e.g. all of Carmax’s computer systems run entirely off Salesforce)

well not in modern parlance but yeah I’m aware it’s an olde timey word

SFDC, IBM, ADP, KKR MYOB are all similarly unpronouncable as singular words.

it has been used as a slur for disabled people.

huh I wonder if there’s a significant day coming up around which jokes tend to accumulate?

Auks were similar to penguins, members of the aukling family include guillemots and puffins.

the issue for me comes when I want to use the same headphones on more than one device and windows has suddenly never met this fellow in its life before

is there a way to avoid this? and what workflow should be in place ahead of it happening if not?

someone wrote RTMF instead of RTFM? </poortaste>

“make the page transparent and show a spinning icon, wait 750ms, then make the page display normally”

it’s a fake loading screen

if it helps, I installed it today using winget which I liked.

I use a mental algorithm that means my password is always different on paper, but is always deducible by me.

I commented out a line in the game I’m building and the enemy could suddenly control my character. Cool cool cool cool cool

padding

At the risk of getting flamed - I wonder if because CSS is a design tool not a programming tool, it will seem unintuitive to people from a technical background, but more intuitive to people from a design/arts background
