I believe it was more because in database terminology there were masters and slaves for replication. Version control came under fire soon after.

So I’m clear, are you referring to the @layer CSS at-rule? Or, something else?

You’re absolutely right. My idea is to imply that developers should give their semantics actual thought and intention.

For your example, the X button can be called .dismiss, since typically that’s what clicking the X does; whereas cancelling something may have more meaning (e.g. cancelling a subscription, which triggers other actions aside of dismissing a modal window).

That’s valid too.

~If you’re into that sort of thing.~

I imagine the better argument (in my opinion) would be to not use generic names such as btn, as they are redundant and offer little self-documentation of their use.

Instead, I believe a combination of selectors and classes would be more meaningful, and encourage readability. For this particular scenario, I would go with a button selector to give all <button> tags a consistent basic styling, and use aptly-named classes like .cancel, .primary, and .destructive to add more styling for specific button purposes.

Then if I need to find all Cancel buttons, I can use a button.cancel query selector and only get Cancel buttons.

Learn CSS layers, use CSS layers.

What are CSS layers? I’m legitimately curious.

I once interviewed at a company that bragged about not using version control or FTP, and how everyone made their changes in production.

~I’m so very glad I didn’t get that job.~

Donkey Shame!

I do understand what blockchains are; my question is more to whether they are used outside of cryptocurrencies or not.

~I do also like your explanation.~

No kidding! It should be poured.

So I’m clear, does blockchain always refer to those *coin currencies? Or is it be used for other purposes too?

…cause it ain’t worth it (unless it’s on a burger or pizza…)

🤣 Like I said. 😉

Considering lactose intolerant folks love the product so much that they will endure whatever digestive hellscape lays before them, and them not being shy about bragging about it, I’m not surprised Big Milk raised prices on cheese. They know what they have, and they know people will pay.

~Econ 101: supply and demand.~

It seems that way, yes.

Sounds like you guys painted yourselves into a bureaucratic corner and now you can’t find your way out. Too many fucking rules.

And kid gamers can be annoying, lol. The same complaints were happening when Fortnight was on the rise.

I have a 12 and 10 year old, and boy do they love gaming (Roblox, fortnight, Minecraft, and a myriad of other games). Roblox terminated both my kids accounts over what they perceived as a threat against a minor from my 12 yo. I don’t remember the exact comment , but it certainly wasn’t terminate his and his brother’s accounts bad.

That aside, 99% of the interactions they’ve had online have been super nice; as in helping each other out by gifting them in-game items and currency because the other person asked nicely (and vice versa).

I don’t doubt there are asshole kids out there. But I haven’t heard of them personally so far. I am grateful for that too.

But, back to my original point: Roblox is very bad.

It’s Roblox. No one should be enjoying that pedo playground.

So basically Swift on macOS, except this made much more sense. 👍

I know about 4 phone numbers by memory:

1. My childhood home phone
2. My childhood best friend’s home phone
3. My cell phone
4. My ex-wife’s cell phone

Two of those numbers no longer work, so if I ever go to jail there is only one person I can call. 😬

But only for certain classes of people.
