Always felt more like a hammer to me.
From the welcome page
my secret mission with Perchance is to get people interested in coding with a smooth, fun learning-curve
Seems like it worked!
I do web dev on a daily basis, and I tend to think of HTML as “formatted” data.
A database has data in it, but it’s in a format of columns and rows, like a spreadsheet.
My application fetches that raw data and uses code to manipulate it - it can inspect it, rewrite it, combine it with other data from other places, validate it against rules - all sorts of stuff.
Since my app is a web app, all that code is designed to use the data formatted in columns and rows from the database, and use it to generate new data in HTML format to send to the browser.
Technically, writing HTML for a browser is a form of programming - it’s a set of instructions that tell the browser how to display the data in the HTML. It’s not considered programming in a professional* sense, though, as HTML doesn’t get, send, change, or process data. Its purpose is as a format for data to be sent and read by something else (the browser).
*professional as in job titles that affect your salary
Fuck material UI. Forever.
Seconded. I’m a dude in my mid 30s and I love those movies
I hate that thing
That is literally what it is :D
Plus a classic transformation into a found family narrative, mind you. That part is fun, if found families are your thing.
Only if it’s one per extremity. Like running around on your middle fingers
If you want to talk weird, each leg on a horse is actually one really long finger.
I initially misread as “lecher” and was very confused.
Now it *looks like.
It really feels like a game of forced perspective, in a very literal sense. I think it was prior to Edwin Hubble that we thought certain fuzzy blobs in the sky were nebulae, until the type 1a supernova discovery tweaked our angle of view, the fuzzy blobs turned out to be distant galaxies in their own right, and suddenly the whole damn universe got deeper.
Space is a jerk. It’s my favorite. MOAR secrets, pls
Sorry, I’m still watching the opening sequence of motion picture, I’ll let you know what I think when it’s done.

But for real, I feel like the last season of Picard was finally a chance to see the TNG TV characters in action in a TNG movie.
He’s so good. Too good - reading Blood Meridian was like having my face dragged across fresh gravel, but in a good way, somehow?
I read it as a post apocalyptic story, but I think mcarthy described it as a near future, non specific “ecological catastrophe,” which retrospectively recolored the story for me - tipped it from “The Walking Dead, except people” to “cautionary/exploratory speculative fiction on human survival in the face of collapse,” for me
Well done, well done. As a meat brain, this took me down a rabbit hole of new spacetime paradoxes.
If that’s the case, try The Road.
I call this my “rule of three” - I wait until I’ve seen “something” three times before deciding on an abstraction. Two isn’t enough to get an idea of all the potential angles, and if you don’t touch it a third time, it’s probably not important enough to warrant the effort and risk of a refactor
