But all code is "long precise strings".

Anyone making a personal website?

If you want to make a personal website, you have two routes: Use a template thing like wordpress, with a GUI, or learn at least a bare minimum of HTML, CSS and probably some Javascript, as well as how to set up a server. What's offered in this article is not very useful to making a personal website... it's like if you wanted to bake a cake, and you read an article saying that frosting is made from sugar and butter. This isn't news and it's it's not particularly useful to baking your cake either.

Just to like, follow up: 99% of the point of making your personal website is, like, making it fucking personal which is to say that you put your own time and energy into learning something in the process. Copy/pasting random CSS from the web is not learning. Also, copy/pasting this particular CSS is not even showing the slightest bit of interest.

So consider: Why would anyone care about your personal website if you don't care enough to learn how to make it, you know, personal by actually learning a tiny bit about the art you're trying to put into practice?

And none of this even starts to explain why this junk would be popular here. There are some brilliant CSS hacks in the wild that deserve attention, but this is sub-par even for child's play that might teach you how to do something useful. It's not even a lesson. It's just some crap you don't understand that you might copy and paste, with almost no explanation.

Who needs a brand when you have a monopoly?

> maybe Microsoft will realize very important parts of Windows are going downhill and remember what made Windows great.

What made Windows great were the contracts with hardware manufacturers to have it installed by default on every single PC ever sold.

> Faroe's name comes from a combination of fær (sheep) and eyjar (islands).

I have always thought it came from "fjær" (far). According to Wikipedia it is debated, and it may even come from "fara" (to travel).

There is similar uncertainty about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fårö#Etymology

"fara" appears to be cognate with English "fare" (which used to mean "journey" and now means how much you pay for one)

And “journey” comes from the Latin diurnum, for day, which also has the same root as per diem.

Time (and distance!) are money.

Or how about the Danish “får” (sheep) and “ø” (Island)?

The name is older than Danish as a distinct language. The suggested etymology is from Old Norse.

> I want the author's opinion on how caplital and lowercase letters should be sorted. Do they follow strict ASCII/Unicode codepoints, or do they normalize into actual alphabetical order and sort upper/lower within each letter?

I prefer the strict ASCII / Unicode sorting (all capitals first, then all lowercase).

> And they choose the interpretation that (per their reasoning, and possibly some actual data) seems most likely to correspond to what the user wants.

Yes, that make sense, but the problem is that this interpretation changed in the last 10 (15? 20?) years. It used to be that "by name" meant "by name, il alphabetical / lexicographical order" in pretty much every file manager.

Microsoft and Apple changed to natural order in 2001.

It never was "alphabetical" but rather an order determined by the numeric index into the used encoding table.

nice. first time seeing this

Author here - I Agree both with you and with the parent's comment. Having two options in the "sort by menu" - like "Name (natural)" and "Name (strict)" or something - would have solved everything.

Author here - My surprise stems exactly from the fact that for the last few years I have exclusively managed my files via a the UNIX shell, which behaves in the classical way.

When I started using Linux as my daily driver after many years of Windows (but with familiarity with UNIX systems going way back), I knew it would be like that in the terminal, but it still took some adjustment. But actually, Nemo does the same "natural sort" thing, and also sorts case-insensitively.

I thought this was going to be a post about Tuz, the tasmanian devil wit a penguin mask: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_(mascot)#Tuz_2009

What I get from this is that anti-monopoly rules are disrupting Apple's business model. That's great!
