Worst of the worst? I shit you not, he was recruited for a counter-intelligence agency.

I had to search the meaning of that. I haven’t spoken to anyone from Australia. Or New Zealand? If it’s Australia, some of my favourite insects live there.

Christmas Beetle, Cotton Harlequin Bug and the Blue Banded Bee, for anyone caring.

do what you love. someone out there will find you the most interesting person on the world. it doesn’t matter if you are neurodivergent or neurotypical, longing for companionship is a human trait. There are activities that are considered “cool” because of a trend or because influencers or celebrities or it is being shoved in your face as the newest health craze.

Do what you love. the person that matters will see you. I’d rather be alone, than with people who like me only because I do the thing they like.

Thanks. It did seem weird. I would assume right-wing and “patriots” would react to foreign names. So it would increase things like scams, doxxing, bullying but for the victims.

you don’t wish for that. It has damaged most of my life in a dumb way.

No. I don’t like crowds. Only high paying work there is wedding & events photographer. I like macro photography of flowers, plants and bugs. They are cool.

No, sorry, don’t think these reached my geographical location

okay, so back in the dark ages, in html3 there wasn’t true horizontal centering. there was a <center> tag that would horizontally center content you enclose in that, but it would not really work for vertical centering, and I’m fairly certain that’s the one you care about. That’s truly goofy. Then html4 came and tables came and that’s when css1 and css2 came out. I believe that was early to mid 90s. With tables, came the table hack where you used valign. Funny thing, this shit is still valid and works and it is used daily. If you receive any newsletters, and they have fancy images, background color, buttons - that is built on the table hack.

Then, the silly hacks got introduced. Backbone.js, underscore.js - these were a must just so a page can work with all the crap people were doing. That’s why… instead of fixing underlying problems of web development, more hacks got introduced. The worst one was the transform hack. You absolutely positioned the element and then used transform to 50% so that made sure that, on a fixed height container, it’ll be centered. You obviously had to plan for the content height itself, etc - hence why it’s the worst one. I hated that one.

I believe the immense pain of doing the transform hack was the reason why finally flex and flexbox were introduced. I have not looked back since.

The newest one is literally telling css “yep, this container is a grid, center the items” and it’s done. Junior UI engineers will never know the pain. Good.

DSLR photography, CSS, obscure games from long gone times (Nox, Ultima Online, Railroad Tycoon 2). I have savant level of knowledge in these categories. Only one of those allows me to be alive, as in, I work and earn salary because of it. I practically lock up with anything that is of low interest to me.

Just wanted to go through the data and see if they didn’t do a statistical stunt

That’s interesting. Can you link some of the studies, please?

And then, they have the audacity to be mad at me for saying things you’re not supposed to. My point exactly, they do the same every single day.

Monkey brain horny.
