I came across some violently classical programming humor. Is HTML still even a pen knife in the hand?

OWASP’s cheat sheets are really good for quickly learning about web security gotchas. The load averages here appear nominal, so perhaps my servers haven’t been disembodied just yet.

Someone sent me a link about XSLT getting deprecated. And, that’s expected. Welcome to the real world? Browser APIs are not as reliable as you’d think.

In fact, one can sus out the “true” APIs of anything by analyzing a company’s repositories for usages (Mozilla, Google, Apple). This allows you to guess at deprecations, wrongly.

I’m not an XML person, but if XSL transformations are interesting (like to Markdown), look at Paligo/xee (Rust). I think I wrote about extensible stylesheets (and Saxonica) somewhere after being impressed by XML pros in action.

PHP 8 has an actual HTML5 parser now. Who’d have thought? This kind of thing (I guess) is better late than never. There are so many things that I can go back to now and simplify the hell out of.

I heard of another static site generator. “Static sites” are not really my jam, but are economically fun. I might try templating that one.

Its motivation adds to my hunch that golang templating is generally disliked. I’m occasionally asked about go (online), but I know very little actually.
