@gabrielesvelto In the old days MS-DOS used to do a quick memory check when loading himem.sys. This used to annoy me because on systems with more than 4MB of RAM, this can take a while. So there's an option to disable it, and in the DOS manual where this setting is, they explain that they had to enable it by default because the very large amount of memory out there is flaky, and lots of issues are caused by it. It seems that not much has improved, ECC should become default these days.
@jmtd A very Jonathany question. I organise by year, and have one directory caller 'archives', and years older than 5 years just go into archives, since I rarely reference them

@gregkh @musicmatze Nuclear winters aren't great for solar power though. Although I hear I'm in one of the best spots for it so I'm not complaining.
@Edent Ah I understand better what's happening now, but don't have a solution, sorry :)
@Edent Your example doesn't work outside of the box? I *think* this would've worked the last time I used PHP? Could it be that the problem is rather on the browser side and that it's waiting for the </head> closure?
I see so many claims that LLMs are now at the point where they can do the job of an intermediate software developer. If that's true, who would that benefit the most? Surely, if it lives up to its promises it should help free software the most, enabling millions of kids and hobiest all over the world to just press tab until their vision materializes.
But if that were true, there's like a Fermi paradox, because where is all this software? Where's all the good new exciting things being developed?

@classicweb This was the golden era of the web, when most web people figured out how to use CSS properly, and web pages looked good and were fast.
