I just found out you may - even in current HTML use entity references in attribute values, it’s just you don’t have to anymore, when the ampersand is not ambiguous.

The spec states it as: “Attribute values are a mixture of text and character references, except with the additional restriction that the text cannot contain an ambiguous ampersand.”

Whereas in the the days before HTML5 this has been mandatory.

> HTML 4.01 Specification – Appendix B.2.2 “Ampersands in URI attribute values”

https://www.w3.org/TR/html401/appendix/notes.html#h-B.2.2

> Unfortunately, the use of the “&” character to separate form fields interacts with its use in SGML attribute values to delimit character entity references.

Seems Like the recommendation changed from supporting ; and & to only using &.

Thinking about it, it is a little surprising as, if I remember correctly, in HTML source you should encode & as & right?

We do XML processing, albeit with XQuery, as a small business.

It is a very niche solution but actually very stable and quite handy for all kinds of data handling; web-based applications and APIs as it nicely integrates with all kinds of text-based formats such as JSON, CSV or XML.

Yet I can easily comprehend how people get lost in all kinds of standards, meta-standards, DTDs, schemas, namespaces, and modeling the whole enterprise in SOAP.

However, you can do simple things simply and small, but in my experience, most tools promised to solve problems with ever-layered complexities.

Little disclaimer, I am probably biased, as I am with BaseX, an open-source XQuery processor :-)

This reminds me of XForms and its fully declarative approach. It allowed you to add interactivity to your HTML without writing code.

We also use BaseX to write restful backends with RestXQ - https://docs.basex.org/12/RESTXQ - the documentation itself is written in XQuery as well and uses a BaseX database as a source.

Man, I’m getting old: just searched my mail and found this mail from… January 26 2009 :-)

I liked it, but it always felt like it “only” added some quality of life functions to Thunderbird.

Not only software but also infrastructure & protocols: N.T.P.: — https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-thor...

I found it quite a good read!

The built-in unbound dns server has support for blocklists, maybe you want to give it a try: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/unbound.html

Why so rude?

Why?

I really enjoy watching his videos, if only just for pure entertainment.

I never really touched processing or p5js, still I like the way Daniel introduces and teaches core programming concepts. Seems to be a great guy!

Even a 5-6 month old must feel pretty unloved. Just put yourself in their position: can't walk, can't talk, can't get out of bed, feels tired, feels all alone, cries for help and comfort but is ultimately ignored.

That's the most worst message you can send out to a person of any age.

I often hear people say: but they learn, they manipulate you as if a baby’s personality was naturally hostile and their main reason in life was betraying their parents. :)

In case you don't intend distrohopping you use this for being "an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux®."

So its actually for people trying to replace CentOS which RedHat decided to drop :)

Thought of it yesterday! I used it in the mid 90s when I gave about every software I could find a chance. I only remember it being awfully slow, but I did not care to much as our families 28.8 modem was slow as well :)
