Oh damn, that’s worse than I thought. That does make it look a lot more “Meh, fuck it.”, like they don’t have events set up to re-trigger just the re-rendering, but rather they jump to the start of a big download-and-render-everything function.
Yeah, maybe. My interpretation was that this webpage got implemented around a decade ago, when this was just how lots of webpages did responsive design, and it has only seen light maintenance ever since. But yeah, I’m also just spitballing…
We do. We even have an accompanying rant.
This meme was, uhm… inspired by Jamendo.
Great service. You can download Creative Commons music for the cost of creating an account there. That’s at least part of why it’s “Oh dear, oh dear. Gorgeous.”.
But well, the button for downloading whole albums is broken.
So, what I’ve been doing, is to just open each song in a new tab, and then repeatedly click download → confirm → close tab.
And then by resizing the window, it’s even possible to align the download- and confirm-buttons, so it’s just double-click → Ctrl+W.
But because of said loading screen, I have to remember to resize the window before I open all the tabs. Otherwise, I’ll get the loading screen every single time I’m put onto a new tab.
I’m guessing, it doesn’t use CSS to do the responsiveness, but rather it’s JavaScript that grabs the window dimensions and calculates how big everything has to be. But it doesn’t get told about the window having been resized until the tab is shown again, and because the JavaScript rendering is slow, you get this short loading screen every single time.
I would’ve interpreted it as “tooting”, i.e. farting. No idea, how much action that warrants.
I’m pretty sure, the same statement could be made about pretty much any food…
You did have me wondering where you would go with that. 🙃
I mean, as far as my mum is concerned, even setting up the TV channels correctly is “programming”…
They’re being defined right in this post. 🙃
Prolog is a language that allows you to specify a whole bunch of rules/axioms and then you can query logical conclusions that can be made from these.
If you go to https://swish.swi-prolog.org/ and click on “Create a [Program]”, then paste the post text on the left side (without the Theorem 1, as that one doesn’t compile), then you can query it in the bottom right.
For example, if you ask it between which keys there’s a gap of just 1 semitone:
?- semitone_gap(X, Y, 1)
Then it will first tell you that X=e & Y=f, as the first possible solution. Then you can click “Next” and it’ll tell you another solution is X=b & Y=c.
I agree that the meme is silly to point to this problem specifically. However, if we leave aside application support as a reason to prefer an OS, then there is really not a lot of arguments left for choosing Windows…
There was a scandal that Boris Johnson held a Christmas party, when he told everyone else to not meet up. Wikipedia tells me, you guys had social restrictions during Christmas in 2020.
I don’t think, it’s as conscious of a decision. Projects above a certain level of complexity will just never realistically reach the criteria one might associate with a 1.0 (stable API, no known bugs, largely feature-complete). And then especially non-commercial projects just don’t have an incentive to arbitrarily proclaim that they fulfill these criteria…
I can see the algorithms of the big social media sites are working excellently. Need to censor “fuck”, but the obvious porn allusion is a-ok.
Hmm, it didn’t turn into a mail link for me on the Lemmy webpage, so I left it, but yeah, I guess some clients might make it a mail link…
Third panel is out-of-context comics material. 🙃
At some point, I thought about dicking around with Plymouth themes, but then I remembered that I reboot maybe once every three weeks, if I’m being generous…

The duality of linuxmemes and linuxsucks strikes again. 🙃
Ah, neat. 🙃
Well, the situation you describe, is probably best handled by CSS media queries.
In case you’re not familiar, you can write:
@media (width < 800px) { h1 { font-size: 110%; } }…to get smaller headings on mobile, for example.
But yeah, reality may be more ugly. Especially, if you’re using a bulky JS framework, it may be easier to do the JS dance.
