Awesome, thanks!

Is there a higher res version of this image? It’s too blurry/small for me to read

Yes html is all parsed and rendered by the web browser. What the elements do and how they interact and are displayed is defined by a standards body like the w3 consortium https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/REC-html5-20141028/

There’s traditionally been differences in the implementations of those standards between browser companies, thus causing browser compatibility issues where a site may say it doesn’t work in Firefox, or requires chrome or whatever. Though most major browsers use Chrome’s rendering engine now except for Firefox and its derivatives.

Yes I suppose it is less efficient than precompiling a webpage and serving it as a package that gets downloaded and “executed” though that then opens you up to cross operating system compatibility issues such as Linux and windows not being able to run binaries compiled for the other os. Html was conceived at least in part to be agnostic in that way I believe. As a “hypertext mark up language” it was a way of formatting text for easier reading

Binging with babyish on YouTube tried this not long ago when trying to make cheeseburger pizza or something. It wasn’t great

Weirdly though it wasn’t remotely close to the right answer so I don’t think it was floating point malarkey. I always assumed some defect but I guess we’ll never know.now I wish I had kept it so I could have sent it to Matt Parker for his calculator reviews

I bought a cheap scientific calculator for math class. When I tried to multiply .5 by .5 it gave a long irrational number instead of .25. then I had to try to explain to the store clerk why that was wrong before they would accept the return

It’s the most common brand at every grocery store here in NS

In Nova Scotia there’s also Farmers/Scottsburn, right?

Stock track is also pretty good (https://stocktrack.ca/?s=ct) and it works for more sites than just canadian tire.

Haha indeed https://imgur.com/5o7OS8m

That’s Tom from MySpace. Everyone got added as his friend so he could peep on anyone he wanted

In an interview about silicon valley the creators said they interviewed a lot of people in the industry and had to actually cut out a bunch of stuff because it wouldn’t be believable by people outside the industry. One small example was the valuation. The VC people they talked to said pied piper would have gotten a lot more money than what ended up being in the show

I think the Pentagon Wars is about as close as it gets for now. Not about programming of course but all about company bureaucracy and feature creep

I also remember a behind the scenes thing about the Hobbit talking about specifically the cameras they were using added a colour hue that required them to make all the makeup much more red. So if you see on-set photos/video they all look really red/flushed in order to compensate for the high speed camera colour shifting

FTL. At least until you’ve beaten the game several times

Cool though still a bit confusing, like what’s a “Device file”? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

Yeah torn down for SkyTrain expansion wasn’t it?
