That’s what it is for almost all children

Also in general who the fuck wants to live thinking about a mask all the time?

The “selfish and myopic” people I know in states that don’t have mask mandates have happy kids who go to school and can look at each other’s faces and grow as humans.

Here in NYC we have woman yelling at kids to keep their masks on and they are in and out of school on a whim.

Who is being selfish and myopic?

This is the stupidest take.

The particles are floating around in the air. They don’t hit the glass and turn around and go home, they continue to float and a draft or whatever will disperse the particles throughout the room.

Who gets to decide what size interior is ok? Or what crowded is?

It’s all arbitrary and you all fell for it.

Just let omicron spread, accept it’s another seasonal flu, and move the fuck on.

If you think that is extreme language something is horribly wrong.

What?

They are literally the 3 client “languages” of the web.

Everything your abstractions/frameworks do is produce html, css, and js.

The romans forgot how to create concrete.

This mindset is why

I work on a massive CMS and he’s correct. There is an insane groupthink going on in webdev.

Another team in my org has spent a year reinventing our client side js so that our templates are now mixed with the svelte runtime. All to render/update cards on the page that can update when an api pings the page.

So 6 months later they’re still building the svelte integration and have only shipped 2 pages to users.

This is a cms where you should be able to create any page via a combination of SSR components but no, now it’s a mix of SSR, SSR svelte within handlebars, and client side svelte. So the edit ui is now a fragmented mess of parts of the page that can and can’t render, ruining the default model of the cms all because they couldn’t bear to write vanilla js. They also added react the year before and now it just sits there decaying.

Literally madness.

That’s literally how all polyfills work. They first check if the thing is there, and if not then implement it.

And in this case you can simply do an if statement with (first && first.second && first.second.third)

My point being, writing one long line is how the language inherently works. Use that instead of the new feature that only ships in new browsers. I’d still be upset if one of my teammates added an entire bundling system so they can simply write fewer lines for such simple menial aspects of the code. Forest for the trees.
