> a high dose (22 or 30 mg/70 kg) of psilocybin

What is this compared to a recreational dose? Are these patients getting high as part of their treatment?

The home ownership rate has been 64%, plus or minus about 1%, for the last 45 years.

The number of first-time home owners has plummeted though

Good for them. IMO they should ditch the editor though. I see no reason that they should tie themselves to one editor. It seems like a waste of time. If Claude code let me use me subscription I'd be off cursor pretty quick.

cantSpellSober commented on Why can't HTML alone do includes?   frontendmasters.com/blog/... · Posted by u/susam

What's the ML in HTML stand for? I think that's probably the crux of the argument. Are we gonna evolve it past its name?

That's why I joked about flamebait, it's hypertext though, aren't anchors essentially a goToURL() click handler in some ways? Template partials seem like a basic part of this system.

> considered to be server-side

Good point! Wouldn't fetching a template partial happen the same way (like fetching an image?)

"Includes" functionality is considered to be server-side, i.e. handled outside of the web browser. HTML is client-side, and really just a markup syntax, not a programming language.

As the article says, the problem is a solved one. The "includes" issue is how every web design student learns about PHP. In most CMSes, "includes" become "template partials" and are one of the first things explained in the documentation.

There really isn't any need to make includes available through just HTML. HTML is a presentation format and doesn't do anything interesting without CSS and JS anyway.

Well said this is many students' intro to PHP. Why not `<include src=header.html/>` though?

Some content is already loaded asynchronously such as images, content below the fold etc.

> HTML is really just a markup syntax, not a programming language

flamebait detected :) It's a declarative language, interpreted by each browser engine separately.

Does anyone know how this contrasts with `text-align: justify` (mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43258709#43260606)?

In Chrome (can't test Safari), `text-wrap: pretty` has a much milder effect.

Should one use both together in the main text of your average blog? I checked, they do appear to make individual changes.

`text-align: justify` solves a different problem, it justifies your text; both the left and right edges of each line are aligned with the margins.

> Should one use both together in the main text of your average blog

Optimize for legibility; the properties are compatible.
