Good to know.

It seems kind of half assed though.

I've only used it briefly to access the filesystem. Having to paste code into the reference field in the name manager is a special kind of masochistic practice.

Oh hey, let me make a treasure map and put the treasure map into the treasure chest and bury it under ground.

Why can't people find my treasure? Are they fucking idiots or something?

I should probably put more maps in the chest.

Well, you can't make Tetris in HTML without including some other language that has loops and variables.

I'm also not sure if you can do it in Excel without using VBA, which is a programming language. Excel doesn't do circular logic in the document sheets.

Anyway the issue or joke is the lack of definition of "programming".

HTML is a text encoding system. It's not that different form something like the Morse code. It's only instructions for how to decipher a series of codes. It takes input and presents it as an output, starting from the beginning and working its way to the end.

In my very unofficial opinion, a "program" is something that is able to "run" by itself, so that the code itself has instructions for which part of the code to run.

If you decipher a morse code, it doesn't suddenly have instructions that force you to go backwards in the code and decipher from there or to jump to different sections. The text output might tell you to do so, but if you follow the text, then you're doing something else than deciphering morse code.

HTML works the same. It start from the top and interprets its way down. It can have some conditional statements, but nothing that will make it go backwards and rerun the same instructions again.

The interpretation is of course more advanced than Morse code and it can call other languages to do stuff, so HTML is basically a document describing a job procedure in that way. The individual jobs can be reoccurring tasks, but the document itself isn't.

So in my opinion it's not "running" anything. It's just a document being printed on screen.

I'll admit that "one-shot" programs are a thing, and documents with variables do exist, so it's not clear cut. A programming language should be capable of those things though, and HTML isn't one on its own.

They're not above. One of them is to the left.

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

However, persecution is an international crime against humanity, so if someone wanted to, they could make a case against her at the International Crime Court.

I don't know if it it'll be live streamed, but it will definitely be filmed.

They are currently making a documentary about him which will include the final show, so I think it's very likely that the full concert will also be released separately. That seems to be the standard for these kinds of events.

Also, WD-40 is not a lubricant.

It's a bit of rabbit hole, but in essence Popeye the sailor man started the myth of spinach being super healthy.

Germany has fewer than average road fatalities than most of the world. Less than average in Europe too.

It's not really statistically noticable in that regard. Not the best, but far from the worst.

I think Star Trek lends itself well to memes, because it's already a show where obscurities are questioned.

Who needs the leftover quarter bag of shredded cheese anyway.

I do the same with anything that comes in a can. I'm not going to use a tenth of a tomato paste tomorrow. It goes in today.

Good recipes take that into account.

I doubt that cars and car infrastructure would be allowed today if we weren't already knee-deep in the shit they cause.

It's probably the worst invention ever.

 

How do I best view tabs from pages like ultimate guitar and others on a phone browser, so that the chords and lyrics match up? I know on pc they usually show up fine in notepad or with ASCII fixed sys font, but I can't quite figure out how to set it up for easy browsing on an android phone. I tried copying it to other apps but none of them have a fixed width font.

How do you do it?

Denmark - Saba - Sand (www.youtube.com)
 

Denmark just had the national entry contest today.

The winner was Saba with the song "Sand". Linked in the post.

The top three final also included the 2014 winner Basim with the song "Johnny" and Janus Wiberg from Faroe Islands with the song "I need your love". Both received more audience votes than the winner, but the jury votes had put Saba ahead from the start.

Anyone else ready to go again?

 

Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)

I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.

A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.

(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)
