JCVI-syn10

While some may accuse you of pedantry, I applaud your embiggening others' understanding of this common mistake.

What's an "actual" transfer of a "virtual" good?

When an NFT is sold a unit of data stored on a digital ledger is transferred. When a D3 item was sold a unit of data stored on in the database was transferred. Why are those meaningfully different?

Cheap chiclet keyboard giving you RSI? I've got the solution: two cheap chiclet keyboards!

I've never worked on an enterprise-level site where there were greater than 1% of users with JS disabled or a percentage to make a dent in conversions

They debunked the video that purported to show Trump insulting his supporters. They said the video was fake.

According to you, they are wrong, though. Ignore evidence to the contrary.

> the first article I read was a column

A column is a personal opinion piece, not a news story.

> how this was "worse than Antitem [sic]"

I can't find any columns that mention Antietam from NYT published in 2005. Is there any reason to believe what you're describing actually happened?

Your links show it's much less common than I'd think. In all cases you cited the majority of asylum claims were legitimate.

    Link 1:

> "It's almost like a war zone for homosexuals," said immigration lawyer Richard Odeleye

> it's not uncommon for gay and lesbian Nigerians to get married simply to keep up appearances. When they come to Canada, they struggle to come to terms with their decision and assume they must be bisexual

...sounds like a good reason to leave and claim asylum.

Out of 2,055 Nigerians:

> a few lawyers were responsible for a "disproportionate" number of claims

    Link 2:

> identified 36 as possibly fraudulent

...so a whole criminal enterprise is prepping fake asylum seekers but not even 15% of them are possibly fraudulent?

    Link 3:

> two indictments charging nine individuals

A whole 9!

> 0.5% APY on savings accounts

How insulting, and yet still better than the competition

Wow, I haven't seen an HTML 4.01 doctype in ages.

Your boilerplate lacks all the features of this one...

Sounds like an incredibly slow way to handle a LAMP stack. On your website you mentioned manually writing the routing and other basic functions a framework covers out of the box.

From your website: "we transfer control to the first PHP file, the router, and begin by importing my little toolbox I've accumulated over the years." If you wanna "get stuff done" that doesn't sound simple or fast.

You don't use any js frameworks? You write CSS by hand and throw out all the benefits of SCSS?! This all applies just to your personal blog. It would not scale.

"It's a total hack achieved by careful output buffering, variable scoping, and function overloading" how is "a total hack" simpler than OOTB functions provided by a PHP framework?

You're even defending ragged-left aligned-right text. In any country where uses are used to reading left-to-right this is the slowest way to read, this has been studied well before the web existed.
