Now make it work on IE6.

Ah, I remember the days when they used to be using PNGs for those.
PNGs!? Oh sweet summer child…
IE6 didn’t support PNGs? I guess I could misremember but I am fairly sure it did.
Not transparent PNGs without using some cursed vendor css filter stuff

Hey. Hey hey hey HEY.
That’s not fair to us.
Random Linux nerds who were bullied. BULLIED, I say. When we coded our personal sites on Netscape on Linux (which was painful enough when Netscape 4 had a hazy understanding of CSS1/2 already) and the site had some random glitches on IE from time when we couldn’t ensure IE compatibility.
This “IE6” shit needs to stay buried, OK? This is “history that must never repeat” shit, OK? OK. Good.
BONUS JOKE:
There was a whole range of jokes dedicated to what happens when you shoot yourself on foot with your favourite programming language.
My favourite was this:
“You shoot yourself in the foot with JavaScript.
If using Netscape, your arm falls off.
If using MSIE, your head explodes.”
Holy shit those lifeless eyes give me the creeps
I stand by my description of him: “That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes.”
I just took a screenshot of the image and then cropped the bottom of his face out, there is no denying it
Jason Segel really carried that show
Dont dead open inside
His internal monologue; “Just lift the corners of your lips and it will look natural”
The Smile Demon has returned once more
Forcing people to write CSS? I thought there was an international treaty against that
It’s not a difficult task at all without AI. I mean if they can use forms and sites like the og stackoverflow, w3 schools,.etc
That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚
Claude has become the search Engine. Stackoverflow doesn’t even exist in the mind of Vibe coders around me. Disconnecting claude means coffee-time until it’s back
I still use a normal search engine. I use AI chats when I really need it for something. Well it does makes thing easier tho
I’ve been wanting to try embedded programming for a while, it looks fun!
What would you recommend as a starting point? Any books I should pick up?If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).
And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.
And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).
that’s a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.
I’m a backend engineer that only does minor frontend tasks once in a blue moon, and on the top of my head I know two ways to center a div horizontally (well 3 with the obvious
<center>) and one to center it vertically. When I hear frontend developers saying it’s hard, I always start questioning their competence at a basic level.This is a place of hatred and ridicule, not a serious conversation. :(
I learned today that the “branding” for Claude is an anus.
All the AI logos are.
Well, Vonnegut’s anus.
Fucking jumpscare
I misread and and thought it said with Claude. Which would still be an interesting challenge 😅
solved it:
take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it
no-repeat, center center… don’t forget to slap some fancy100vhfor the body too…done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!
use the option
coverand it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!add
diabolical-laughter-047.mp3as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families… just in case… and definitely some analytics from BIG G— profit.
Centre it horizontally or vertically?
Yes
Thanks Claude.
Poor guys, they’ll starve before that happens
he of course determines who is the winner beforehand, like all his other challenges.
“Congratulations, you won million dollars! But first, we’ll, of course, have to deduct the cost of the AI credits you used in this challenge…”
they don’t have ai…
Imagine if it had no internet access but it had all the relevant docs.
Flexboxes are cool but their naming conventions are shiet
Mr beast if he was based
