do you know what is really dorky? in english when you form a question out of the verb “to be”, you move the verb to the beginning and then the subject and complement just get like. smooshed together. “are women girls?” it’s like a kiss

“oh no, my partner who was really into skinny jeans and My Chemical Romance turned out to not be the gender i thought they were!! who cares honestly, that’s kind of hot”

if you are going to write a clichéd Gen X story about cis angst, please give it a Gen X setting

millennials do not perceive gender in that way

i would go so far as to say there are significant schools of thought in programming wot think that esthetic code and readable code are oppositional concepts (e·g python, with the prescription that code should be readable rather than esthetic)

Show thread

i know computers interpret code as a series of operations on data structures but humans interpret code as words

Show thread

why does everybody seem to imagine code esthetic like a painting and not like a journal

it’s not whether it is the first non‐default namespace; in fact it is just that some namespaces must be declared before others (by some unknown‐to‐me standard) or else the whole fuckin’ thing breaks.

the XSLT will correctly process if you simply change the order of the namespace declarations on the root element, which is not something which should ever determine whether an XML document is able to be processed or not

Show thread

Safari consistently fails to process XSLT when it includes an XPath with a namespace which is the first non‐default namespace declared in the root element, but only sometimes

the name or value of the namespace does not appear to matter; however, and for reasons i cannot seem to determine but presumably has to do with document structure somehow, it only manifests for certain namespaces which have only been used in the document in certain (specifics unknown) ways
