Why should have anything against telling that story? Are we ok with this flavour of editorialization now?

"XIX Catholic scientist invents pasteurization" - I truly fail to see the "coolness" of it.


The originator of the Big Bang concept is basically always described as a Catholic priest. The juxtaposition between faith and science, compared to the union of the two, makes people think.

This is an interesting part of the story because of the marginalization of Jewish immigrants during that interwar period.


But we were not lied to in that regard.


The lie is that "uninstall" uninstalls when in reality it just uninstalls*


Considering Churchill's loathe for working class people, your word will do.


I've tried Inkscape and GIMP. I'm sure they must be great pieces of software, but their usability is so awful it renders them useless for me. And they're not great options if your client provides/asks for adobe proprietary files (psds, ais...)


Indeed. Why would you teach to do things right when you can teach how to do them wrong?


Like I said. It is assumption of being 1 domain. Could be a personal web pages on 2 different domains. Ahah!


I feel like the common case, especially for new HTML devs, is to use one website.

And when they get more experienced, they'll probably want to migrate that site to a new host (for example my site was bbkane.github.io before I moved it to bbkane.com), which will break absolute links to the first (now down) domain. Yes, best practice is to set up a redirect from old to new anyway, but that's the kind of thing someone doing this for the first time doesn't think about.

So there's definitely a case for beginners using relative links. And it's less repetitive to type!


I'm also interested in how it is going to be for multicultural individuals (with their own personal webpages). You have 2 webpages English, German. Could be a collection of these pages only in English.


One does not exclude the other. But the important bit here -per rvnx's comment- is "It started before the war."


I would agree entirely, there are likely many contributing factors.


And there goes the usual overly simplistic and naive understanding the issues XR and such try to raise awareness of.


Imagine a politician doing a campaign by constantly annoying its voters. That would definitely guarantee a win. /s

What XR is doing is counterproductive as normal folks will just label them as deranged ecoterrorists living in their parent's basement and have no idea how real world works and that bills needs to be paid or you will end up on the streets.

Only thing which XR is doing is to raise anger when moderate greens will try to come up with rational policies. They can't. XR already turned it into emotionally charged debate.


> normal folks will just label them as deranged ecoterrorists

The press chooses the labelling, depending on who they support. We can see this with things like the Canadian trucker convoy who are "terrorists" or "freedom fighters" depending on which media you consume.


In my country (Easter part of EU) press is just reporting what they are doing. I.e. Ecological movement ABC was sitting on the road and blocking traffic output from the main city tunnel.

People are then getting angry. In discussions, on social media in regular conversations, because they don't understand purpose of such actions - targeting commuting civilians because government does not do what they want.


None of this refutes my point.


Then, you have Jeff Beck.


I'd say that, by definition, the "reboot" part of it takes away the "fresh" part of it.


> This made me realize that the rules are arbitrary and what matters is if people can understand what you're saying.

Not that you can learn anything unless it sticks to a certain set of rules.


An _un_certain set of rules, you mean. Especially as we're on about language. (-: If the set of rules were certain, we might not be having the these discussions; yea, and proscriptive grammarians and tyrants of spelling would us all be.
