technical skill is cool and all but it isn’t the part of the thing that makes the art the art

ART IS JUST MAKING MARKS ON AN OBJECT IN A WAY THAT EVOKES A RESPONSE

yes it’s still open

« Conditions at Guantánamo Are Cruel and Inhuman, U.N. Investigation Finds » honestly not sure we needed a U.N. investigation to tell us that

@jamey the closest to an actual implementation of this i have is e.g. https://www.u2764.com/NFIC/ (view the source!)

idk if you speak XSLT, but in case you do, line 64 here is the bit that handles the feed archiving: https://git.ladys.computer/U2764/blob/HEAD:/Atom.xslt#l64

i don't presently have any system which uses raw atom for the page contents themselves, but the idea of having just a feed (with stable archives) and being able to pass that through one or multiple static site generators (minimally, an XSLT file) to generate a browsable webpage is conceptually appealing to me

it means any user can create their own custom themed version of the entire site from just the feed

@jamey RFC5005 is a practical necessity to using atom feeds as the source documents for a static site generator and i love it for this reason

i mean i do :—

const getDataViewBuffer =
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(
DataView.prototype,
"buffer",
).get;

// later…

const buffer = Reflect.apply(
getDataViewBuffer,
myDataView,
[],
);

—: and that’s not even a weird edge case really that’s just a normal feature of the language

but i feel like most developers would look at that, say “it is not obvious to me what is happening here”, and move on rather than try learning

the other problem is that while i try not to make my code incomprehensible to people who are willing to learn about niche uses for edge cases in the ecmascript spec, it definitely is incomprehensible to the sort of person who has no interest in ever learning stuff like that

no shade against applications programming or ui/ux dev but most of my nonprofessional work is extremely not that and i don’t have anyone i can say “hey check out this datatype implementation isn’t it cool” to rn

i really need a hangout which is very into lisps and data witchery and not just one which is into tangible user interfaces lmao

in case you were wondering they ran another opinion article defending biological sex as the basis for womens sports

@KitRedgrave it's a lot easier to develop good software for a platform when you're not constantly being frustrated by it, actually

me: 20 words of weird niche tech jargon

@Satsuma: mhm yes i understand this entirely and you are very correct
