Entra isn't Azure. Entra ID is what they renamed Azure Active Directory to. But not always; there's also Azure Active Directory B2C (yes, that's the fully expanded name). And various other Azure-branded things that may or may not belong together.

Microsoft are spectacularly bad at naming things.

It's a miracle they haven't renamed Windows 11 to "360 365" or "Live 6.5" or "Active-DOS Series X" or something.

Honestly, I'm still very much in the "classes define what a tag represents, CSS defines how it looks" camp. While the old semantic web was never truly feasible, assigning semantic meaning to a page's structure very much is. A well-designed layout won't create too much trouble and allows for fairly easy consistency without constant repetition.

Inline styles are essentially tag soup. They work like a print designer thinks: This element has a margin on the right. Why does it have that margin? Who cares, I just want a margin here. That's acceptable if all you build are one-off pages but requires manual bookkeeping for sitewide consistency. It also bloats pages and while I'm aware that modern web design assumes unmetered connections with infinite bandwidth and mobile devices with infinitely big batteries, I'm oldschool enough to consider it rude to waste the user's resources like that. I also consider it hard to maintain so I'd only use it for throwaway pages that never need to be maintained.

CSS frameworks are like inline styles but with the styles moved to classes and with some default styling provided. They're not comically bad like inline styles but still not great. A class like gap-2 still carries no structural meaning, still doesn't create a reusable component, and barely saves any bandwidth over inline CSS since it's usually accompanied by several other classes. At least some frameworks can strip out unused framework code to help with the latter.

I don't use SCSS much (most of its best functionality being covered by vanilla CSS these days) but it might actually be useful to bridge the gap between semantically useful CSS classes and prefabricated framework styles: Just fill your semantic classes entirely with @include statements. And even SCSS won't be needed once native mixins are finished and reach mainstream adoption.

Note: All of this assumes static pages. JS-driven animations will usually need inline styles, of course.

Music. Often completely randomly selected – for instance, right now it's some old dance track called Sweet Like Chocolate by... gotta look this up... Shanks & Bigfoot, apparently. It'll probably be something else in an hour.

The only time my head does go silent is when I'm really tired. It's one of the most clear indicators of tiredness for me.

It's an old term for the sexual organs that's only used as part of terms these days. I tried to kinda match that. My translation wasn't great, though.

Let me step in for a moment. I'm this man's attorney. He can't possibly say stupid shit on the internet because he doesn't use computers. He wouldn't have time to use one in the first place as he's too busy being a wildly successful Path of Exile streamer.

It's the basic idea behind ordoliberalism – companies get free reign until their actions start harming the common good, at which point the government imposes fair rules to even the playing field. It's... reasonably functional as far as political theories go. Still wildly suboptimal, though, and not long-term stable against the influence of hyper-wealthy entities.

Note that these, too, have a German name, which translates to "inner taint-lips". Just calling them "labia" in English is not just defaulting to Latin but also imprecise.

Da würde Linus sich auch nicht aufregen, wenn der Entwickler sich an die etablierten Abläufe halten würde. Aber da wegen ja gerne mal mitten im Feature-Freeze neue Features eingecheckt und da kann ich schon sehen, dass das nicht gerne gesehen wird.

Ja, dann kommen Rechtfertigungen wie "ich habe einen Fehler gefunden und das soll potenzielle Datenverluste verhindern", aber die Abläufe im Kernel-Team haben den Sinn, die Gesamtqualität des Kernels zu sichern. Da kann ich sehen, was für Linus wichtiger ist.

Letztendlich sollte ein Dateisystem im Mainline-Kernel nicht so instabil sein, dass so etwas kurz vor einem Kernel-Release noch eilig gemerget werden muss.

When I first read that I read it as lobsters hunting teeth.

Please don't crack open my molars.

"The author wrote it that way to increase suspense. Don't worry, though. My friends will be resurrected because they're very marketable."

And Windows 10 was clearly faster.

Than Windows 11, that is.

"Legally required", so they're seeing it in the local laws. Some countries require websites to disclose who operates them.

For example, in Germany, websites are subject to the DDG (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, "digital services law"). Under this law they are subject to the same disclosure requirements as print media. At a minimum, this includes the full name, address, and email address. Websites ~~updated~~ operated by companies or for certain purposes can need much more stuff in there.

Your website must have a complete imprint that can easily and obviously be reached from any part of the website and is explicitly called "imprint".

These rules are meaningless to someone hosting a website in Kenya, Australia, or Canada. But if you run a website in Germany you'd better familiarize yourself with them.
