@gaditb oh i need to get back to writing this

@aschmitz i wish JSX was better standardized and less wedded to reactive rendering usecases but i’m otherwise not opposed to it!

it involved kissing girls

last night i dreamt an entire Catholic easter mass, except it was actually way better and more ceremonial than a real Catholic mass, it was still like several hours tho

@jamey i should probably add to this that i am quite fond of GNU Make, which is (at any high level of complexity) basically built on top of string templating, so

@aschmitz oh i don't mind tasty syntactic sugar, but i am bothered by taking something structured and treating it as tho it is unstructured. it feels like a lot of templating languages do this latter thing

@jamey unrelatedly, you know a lot about Atom feeds! i currently keep the full text of my blogposts in my Atom feed, which is good, but i worry it will result in a Quite Large filesize over time. i know i can use RFC5005 to paginate the feed, but do you have any thoughts on this besides? how big is too big for Atom feeds, or is size not really a practical concern?

did our recipe fail because we used european butter? or is it just a bad recipe? who can say

@jamey well, i prefer XSLT if the data source is XML. if the data source isn’t XML then you might have issues

let’s take a durable, easily‐processable, semantic, and structured markup format and let’s deal with it by ignoring all of that and substituting strings for other strings

is

<element name="h1" namespace="&xhtml;">
<value-of select="atom:title"/>
</element>

really better than

<h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>

?? no. but also yes

i’m not saying you should generate websites the way that i generate websites, but whenever i look at how other people generate websites i am very unimpressed

if you list programming languages on your profile i’m just going to assume you’re incapable of learning new ones

anarchists need to understand that what works for their communities may not work well for others. some people just really want their labour to be exploited by Boeing and it’s important that we invest in both models, and not pass judgment or say that one is more ideologically “pure” than the other.

“professionalism is a capitalist psyop and, as anarchists, we want nothing to do with it”

just want to give a shoutout to “In Praise of Christmas” https://youtu.be/rwgoLu0z8pE

you hear the title and you are like “oh hell no, this is going to be some top-tier Christian bullshit” but Incorrect, that is “Let All That Are To Mirth Inclined” on the other end of the album

“In Praise Of Christmas” is about getting drunk as fuck

*gamer voice* christmas music? you mean like the celeste soundtrack?
