Is this why it ended 0-0?
Gregg Berhalter sent Gareth Southgate a message before the game "if you score on us, we're going to dump tea in the Channel"

For those who would rather avoid The Bee:
- Goalies must be double amputees - no more scoreless draws! Any two limbs will do.
- Supply one "enforcer" on each team with a taser - finally, the guy thrashing on the ground won't be faking!
- Add quicksand so that anyone who takes too long on a free kick gets sucked in - move or die.
- Have a drunk hobo decide when each half starts and ends - bound to be more sensible than whatever the current system is.
- In the event of a tie, the coaches must have a duel at midfield - if it ends in a tie, it's not a sport.
- If players pass the ball 10 times without shooting, the ball detonates - would put a stop to this asinine backward passing once and for all.
- Release an enraged bull onto the field if things get boring - "Mbappe steps up to take the free kick and OH MY GRACIOUS HE JUST GOT GORED IN THE LIVER!"
- Anyone who flops will be thrown into the Sarlacc Pit where they will discover a new definition of pain and suffering - there is no flopping in the Sarlacc Pit.
- Give half the players jetpacks and half the players surface-to-air missiles - built in Lockheed-Martin sponsorship.
- Instead of kicking a round ball towards a goal, players will carry or throw a more oblong ball towards a kind of "end zone" - definitely onto something here.

Personally, I think this one would do the most to make the game more interesting. It would also increase the supply of goalies for Rule 1.

Pretty good Bond. Sean Bean dies twice, which is fun, but Scorupco is rather bland TBH.

It always baffles me how hard it is to explain the concept that computers can do work on their own for hours but still need to be looked at occasionally, to people who own stoves.

Their ability to produce loads of hot air has certainly been confirmed

The computer's ability or the engineer's ability?
(Rhetorical question, as the answer is obviously "yes")

… near the end it references this blog, specifically this post, from which I found this presentation:
You can watch it here
JS Monthly #15 / Immutability & Accessible Web / June 2021 – [12:30..1:54:53] 1:54:53
— Pusheror read the transcript above. It's somewhat funny and a lot of WTDWTF residents will probably have very strong feelings about it.

@LaoC It get's quite a bit more hardcore when she moves on to also getting rid of CSS.

getting rid of CSS
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone gets rid of CSS, it will instantly be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

@Bulb HTML already has perfectly cromulent style support built-in thanks to the

tag!

I've gone as far as dynamically generating CSS on the client. Will that do?
It was doing table filtering (by hiding rows based on the contents of a small form) without needing to go back to the server. Which was fast and good enough.

Since you are supposed to get rid of the JavaScript first, you won't have anything to generate it with.

That sounds like appropriate use of the available tools, actually. Hiding with CSS should be faster than modifying the DOM.

Of course it is appropriate use of the tools! Not only do I want to be personally lazy, I want the computer to be lazy too...

I'm watching this and I am as far as the second presentation, about the proposal for immutable records and tuples in JS.
I haven't found the first presentation particularly funny, but... I've turned on closed captions to help me understand the second presentation as I'm watching it on double speed, and every time the guy says "React application", the subtitles say "wrecked application".

i think some people will use it and also there is a polyfill currently i don't know how performant it is but it's queer

The project is about as useful as Bill Gates' mosquito SDI—"these people are too poor to see a doctor when their kids have diarrhea which they get mainly because everybody is shitting in the river, so wait, let me just deploy this AI-equipped next-gen toilet all over the place and we can collect a lot of data and then maybe do something with it!"
Then again, writing scientific papers about a device called the SHART is pretty cool so I can understand why they'd come up with it.
