@Edent what's so bad about <div> ... or: Why do you want to avoid them?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@Sandra @gustav
What did you think about the second half of the post?

[edent@mastodon.social]

@Sandra did you read the blog post?
Not the Toot, the post.
Because it isn't about XHTML.

[simon_brooke@mastodon.scot]

@Edent I'm going to say, I loved XHTML. As someone who in those days mostly wrote things which generated markup (and mostly from #Lisp-like languages and XSL), any faults in markup meant there were problems with my code and it was very easy for debugging.

If you're hand-writing HTML, then yes, of course, tolerance is good. But there is room on the Web for both approaches!

[damonhd@mastodon.social]

@simon_brooke @Edent I write my source as ~XHTML to make errors easier to find (eg all tags should be syntactically balanced <or />), but I publish where possible as more compact HTML5: ~3% smaller through omitting optional closing tags and optional attribute quotes for example...

[simon_brooke@mastodon.scot]

@DamonHD @Edent That's a best-of-both-worlds solution, and worth thinking about.

These days I mostly write my HTML as #Clojure datastructures and rely on @weavejester's Hiccup to do the tag matching for me!

@Edent Really enjoyed your travel posts!

Do you have any tips on eating vegetarian in Japan? I’m planning a trip next year with my (vegan) partner.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@doop yes, have a big blog post planned.
HappyCow remains good - Google Maps too. Tabelog was a bit crap.
Best vegan meal I had was in a Halal Kobe restaurant 🫠
It is relatively straightforward to find veggie options. But it does depend on how morally flexible you are. My 100% vegan ramen had an egg in it (fine for me). A tofu restaurant served things coated in bonito (less than ideal).

@aj went through the Gold Coast a few years ago - lovely part of the world. Sadly not this time.

@Edent I'm still trying to figure out what wording to put on my 2021 Model 3 I can't really afford to replace yet. At that time, we already knew he was crazy, but not yet that he was also an actual Nazi who would go on to kill 3x as many black African people (thus untermenschen as far as he is concerned) as Bashar al-Assad, 2/3 of them children.

@Edent
Erm...what again? Rice that blows your nose???

[harper@toot.cat]

@Edent maybe try, #gadigal #gadigalland #gadigalcountry 🍻😎

[feorag@wandering.shop]

@Edent @bob Yes, add it to the Cow. It’s an option for mixed groups where the vegans don’t get short-changed, though some will be uncomfortable there.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@harper I don't know what those hashtags mean, but thanks for boosting 😃

[edent@mastodon.social]

@feorag @bob
Done!

[edent@mastodon.social]

@mattcen thus I have become enlightened!

[duncanlock@cosocial.ca]

@Edent
Interesting, thanks! Also, typo: "were by solely by men."

[matdevdug@c.im]

@Edent Sorry they're both pretty bad. But hey fingers crossed we'll get a good one! I'm in the same boat, I can't delete WhatsApp or I'd lose the ability to text anyone.

[fazalmajid@social.vivaldi.net]

@Edent they are working on it, the interop will be e2ee and requires a fair bit of engineering work from the other party.

There was quite a bit of infrastructure work required, like migrating from phone numbers to logical identifiers. These alpha partners won’t be the only ones.

[andrewharvey@hachyderm.io]

@Edent I'm sad I missed this, as I would have loved to have had a chat. I live three hours north of Sydney so it would have been a long shot still.

I'd love to talk to you about some of the work I'm doing. There might be something that you could get involved in which supports open science.

[edent@mastodon.social]

@andrewharvey give me a shout if you're ever in London. If not, we'll set up a Zoom date.
