  • Help transplanting burr oak saplings

    Jump

  • Just an update: I transplanted them 13 days ago using both recommendations. First I slid the root ball from the pot by turning it upside down and gently pushing on it from a hole in the bottom of the pot. Once the root ball was free I dunked the root ball into a bucket several times until all the potting soil dissolved. From there I could unspool the taproots from each other which were thick enough to where none of the sprouts were damaged and all are growing well. Pictures from a week after transplant:

  • Back to Basics in Web Apps

    Jump

  • 1996 was the beginning of the chaos. We went from a document that the user's browser parsed and styled to a free-for-all of website designs glued together on construction paper. Accessibility took a step back. You now needed a graphical desktop to view the web. Page content was no longer machine readable and became less portable. Now in a world of dynamic page content generated by javascript you need a v8 browser in crawlers just to index page content.

  • I wasn't aware of Alpine.js before the article though and I love minimalistic frameworks so thank you for that.

  • Just type npm run and that lists out the script commands available.

  • OP never mentioned commuting to work you're just on an unrelated tangent. And yes, believe it or not a lot of people have jobs that require making service calls or being on location.

    Turns out, Java and JavaScript are not 'car' and 'carpet' --- ECMA-262 2025: 'ECMAScript syntax INTENTIONALLY resembles that of Java'

    Jump

  • Java and JavaScript are like car and carpet because despite the beginning of the names matching they serve different purposes. In the early web days Java applets were a thing and it failed which is why a new language was needed. It's not a secret that there was pressure to make Javascript look like Java, that's just not the point of the figure of speech.

  • I like seeing the numbers go up

  • It's about the journey not the destination.

  • Brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis) and a ring-billed gull (Larus delawarensis)

    Jump

  • Didn't see the gull at first and thought you meant to type pully instead of gull!

  • Do any of you program on non-US keyboard layouts?

    Jump

  • I popped the keys off my Topre with a keycap puller and rearranged them. Both the Backspace and Caps Lock function as a backspace, but I couldn't find a keycap labeled "Backspace" that physically fit in the Caps Lock key's place so that particular label is deceiving.

  • Calculators calculate while computers can be programmed with new instructions. Fancy calculators that can be programmed though, as you say, are basic computers. Meanwhile calculators that run BASIC are BASIC computers.

  • When they say writing code comments is important this is what they mean. This is how we programmers pass on important life lessons that save the next dev weeks of heart pain and hair loss.
