    The best CSS Framework? I don’t know. Complexity moves in mysterious ways. The many interpretations model must be satisfied.

    1. in CSS (canonical)
    2. CSS in (write once and time driven)
    3. CSS in JavaScript (framework driven)
    4. CSS in Shadow (company/department driven)
    5. CSS in Scoped Formats ( driven)
    6. CSS in Preprocessors (design system driven)

    I’d say, choices reflect environmental factors (social or otherwise) at play. If you’re lucky enough to choose, then suitability favors what draws the finish line closer? I’ve no advice since I’d rarely have the time/luxury to choose anyway. I’m usually thinking about the possibility of more types, sub–types ( in #1: , classless, etc), and the transposition strategy and speed between each class/type.

    Mathematical Markup Language (MathML)? I’ve thought about LaTeX/TeX strategies on the web for a bit ever since someone asked years ago about different approaches. I never got to poking around on my blog, but since then the masters have delivered unto us;

    1. MathML ( based web specification)
    2. KaTeX
    3. MathJax

    In format conversion land we’ve been given; LaTeXML, make4ht, texmath, temml, and Pandoc.

    MathML looks rather safe. After that, I’d imagine it’s mostly incompatability struggles, XML spooks, and making math “write easy”.
    l = 10 0.00 + 0.05 m m
    (1) A unilateral tolerance allowed in one (uni) direction (plus)
    l = 100 ± 0.05 m m
    (2) A bilateral tolerance allowed in two (bi) directions (plus and minus)

    Text fragments are a Chromium feature from a couple years ago. They (#:~:text=) emulate CTRL + F or window.find() from a . I experimented in times past with a snippet–like approach using <mark> with URL encoded terms on id + :target logic, such that clicking this link highlights the paragraph below.

    The article says ‘boldly link’, but personally fragments (any) work best on infrequently changing content. Long URLs do text fragments make. Annoying? Who knows/cares? They are not everywhere yet (Firefox). On another tangent; I discovered that hugo did have the urlquery function available (that nice blog saved me code surfing). #gists #webdev

    Are you invested in coins? Nada, none. Even if so desired, lethal extremes happen so fast that governments have to step in to parent the unruly cool kids (foreigners especially) on everything. Superabundant bureaucratic toil = never looking into “current thing”.

    Residents of (The) Bahamas must apply for special permission from the country’s central bank to invest in cryptocurrency, and the government levies a percentage fee for the privilege.

    As some of you know, I loathe places like YouTube, Reddit, or any other sufficient equivalent. The misinformation is too abundant for my poor, weak mind. I recently discovered this and whoever made it is a legend. Luckily, it’s still a mostly free world but for how long? People should be able to intimately learn whatever lesson they want ;)

    I finally remembered the perfect metaphor for modern western politics someone told me ages ago. The ‘work and shoot’ is what it was, or the cooler sounding; ‘worked shoot’, as in ‘fake fighting’, ‘friendly fighting’, or kayfabe (be fake).

    My fun take on that trope is a tad more twisted; it’s a ’lesser worked shoot’, as in ‘photo and shoot’, or photo shoot, or just a photo, and maybe a shoot. I was told once before it’s more of a worked photo chute (ouch).

    Some nix language gotchas I’ve experienced while using NixOS personally:

    1. Avoid with expressions unless with the inherit keyword for identifying hidden attributes in scope.
    2. Avoid the rec keyword unless there’s tracking/control of infinite set recursion (self naming/references).
    3. Avoid importing more than 1 instance of <nixpkgs> for any evaluation chain unless there’s magic compute and “infinite” memory.

    Tricky is numero three, but crucial for fast feedback regardless of the current thing? I don’t poke around as much to know anymore but; legacy, flakes, community, and possibly others.

    I don’t particularly write for an online audience, but netsurfers I speak a truth; short » long!

    Yeah, obviously (duh), but the average estimated attention span online clocks in just under a goldfish (9 seconds) or maybe more! I’ve only fully realized this by happenstance in a sorta offline–ish short/long blog experiment, but it blows my mind because my ability to focus is typically 2~4 hours.
