@Lensflare Don't you get something that is called 'react' ? 🤡
-
@sheriffderek why was this changed from <b></b> ?
-
@wackOverflow because bold does not convey intent which is important when doing text to voice.
Is the bold just a design feature or does it mean important. Strong explicitly is intended to be interpreted in the context of how the reader consumes it.
Text to voice, braiile or some other way. -
@Voxera that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!

Your teacher sounds like an incompetent person with an inflated ego. Hopefully she won't give you shit marks when you have to submit assignments with better HTML than she wrote...
One positive thing, you are able to see the bad code she writes, learn from that and don't make the mistakes she makes ;) -
@atheist so are unit tests

what's wrong with tags in all caps? gotta admit i often do that too
even the current HTML standard ( https://html.spec.whatwg.org/ ) says: "Many strings in the HTML syntax (e.g. the names of elements and their attributes) are case-insensitive"
i'm not a webdev, so i don't really watch and follow current trends and "commons". but i understand your pain as i've tried to push at least some basic python code styling in our team and failed. -
@CoreFusionX as if writing all that xml in ms stack is
-
@wackOverflow Because <b> meant "Bold" at the time - that that is a stylistic choice and not really a semantic meaning. Strong emphasis can be styled any way you choose - but say, Siri - would know to say the word differently - or screen-readers etc.
Also they seem to be trying to rebrand <b> as "The bring attention to" element. :shrug -
@wackOverflow same applies for <i> and <em>

@CoreFusionX Markdown coding wants to join the fight too :D
-
@atheist I don't fight you. I Figma you.
-
@ethernetzero Yeah, feels totally like it's 1980s.
-
@tw001 No, we did not have html 1980 :P, it came 1992 :)
1980 we only had assembly or line numbered basic, but yes, basic was usually written in all caps, so some resemblance :D -
@Voxera Sorry, BASIC.
-
@tw001 yes, sorry, been too long, my BASIC has gone a bit rusty :P
-
@cjbuzon if your in the development business your always a STUDENT, or your obsolete ;)
-
@Voxera Oh, it seems everybody is talking about Rust these days.
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
What only relying on JavaScript for HTML form input validation looks like
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
My CS teacher uses html 4 spec that has shit like <strong> and <font size=5> and all sorts of inline garbage. She writes the tags in ALL CAPS and it honestly looks like SQL had a baby with brainfuck. I can't handle this shit anymore. She feels like she's apparently very good at programming and has just been promoted to the School's CS HOD (Head of Department). I have no idea what to do I go to school everyday having to face her mutilating my interest in programming. My peers are all incompetent and don't care at all. Don't get me started on how she writes Python. What the fk man.
