You can polyfill this with JavaScript though?

It's incorrect to say there are no removals, as we do not have <MARQUEE> anymore.

With xml/xslt, the browser fetches, eg, somefile.xml that looks like:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="somefile.xsl"?>
    ...
Then the browser fetch somefile.xsl and uses that to transform the xml into html (which is then rendered as per the uzhe).

Whether the browser does all that in C or C++ or Rust or Javascript or by sending it to an LLM is an implementation detail.

If the browser drops xslt support and just displays it as text (or syntax-hilighted xml), I, as the xml author, can't polyfill that by adding javascript to the xml because it won't be executed. You need to back up a level.

You could set up a web page that fetches the xml and fetch the xslt and transforms it into html and then displays it (so a browser in your browser so you can browse while you browse) but I wouldn't call that a polyfill exactly. If you're going to do that, it would be less work and a better user experience to do the transform server side.

So UNIXy that he didn't even like long options (--option) in the standard flag library.

Long options are more of a GNU thing and GNU's Not Unix.

Grandma wants AI stocks, taxi drivers rave about crypto, and Warren Buffett has been selling more than ever.

But “this time it’s different” because… AGI…?

The Federal Reserve will lower interest rates to keep that big, beautiful bubble. Donald Trump thinks interests should be 1%. There are 2 FRB governors (jockeying for a new chair) that have publicly called for lower interest rates. One FRB member (Adriana Kugler) unexpectedly resigned a couple weeks ago and will be replaced by the WH economist.

Just yesterday, the guy who was found liable in court for financial fraud demanded an FRB (Lisa Cook) resign after being accused of mortgage fraud. Do you suppose somebody in the WH is digging up dirt?

And of course, weekly rants, accusations of fraud, and musings of firing JPo.

I might HAVE to learn EMacs (prefer over Vim) because I think eventually everything else will be tainted by mandatory AI features and/or subscriptions.

I hate to break it to you, but emacs was a product of the MIT AI lab.(prep.ai.mit.edu anyone?).

Ok for someone that came late to the party - what is digg?

"Humancentric technology at the edge" - love this in my sci-fi books but what does it do?

I don't know man. If a programmer can be replaced by a big old Tab key and a Homer Simpson keyboard bird, maybe LLM should take your job.

Grok will win because the Boring company will find the mole people's secret underground lair where they keep a record of all human knowledge as well as socks that have gone missing from the dryer.
