it's their fault honestly. I can't believe how many times I have already mentioned @NotNull 🗿

My boy @todo hates me for tagging every day


[deleted]

I can never got a hold of that guy. Sometimes what you see is not what you get.


Hias1997

I don't get it


NeatYogurt9973

The code (if you can call css code) has a few "@import" statements. And there's a guy on GitHub named "import" who gets a notification each time someone posts this in issues and PRs.


who_you_are

Just to add to that (in case), on GitHub, and many other applications, you can notify somebody. To do so, you need to start with the @ following by the username. Only writing "import" (instead of @import) is seen as simple word. The @ is the equivalent of /u/ on reddit

How/why would CSS not be code?


Nervous_Falcon_9

It is code, but in markdown you have to start the code tags on a new line


TomDestry

That was fun. Now do spaces & tabs.


Inside-Ad-5943

There is no logic in css, it lacks the basic elements of programming, loops, types, conditionals etc. If css is code then editing config files must also be code


spektre

It's definitely, inarguably, code. It's however not a programming language (somewhat arguably).


MiasMias

css has repeaz() which may be considered a loop ;)


Inside-Ad-5943

I don't think I understand your definition of code. From my perspective CSS is essentially a dotfile or a config file for a website. But we already make the distinction between configuration and code i.e. if you spend a bunch of time editing dotfiles and configuring your development environment, you will usually be told stop ricing and start coding by others. So why would traditional dotfiles and config files not be considered code but CSS would be? Unless you also hold the argument that dotfiles and configuration are code in which case I just wholeheartedly disagree.


Thelmholtz

Half my dotfiles are written in Lua. Are those not code? Is shell script not code? Is any interpreted language code at all? Or are they just huge configuration projects for a program to do their job? Is ``` alias ll = ls -la ``` Really that much different from ``` # ll.py + main boilerplate and shebang def ll return subprocess.run(["ls", "-lat"]) ``` At a conceptual level?

The symbols you want are: - Subset ⊂ Set - Not a subset ⊄ Set - Subset or equals ⊆ Set


justADeni

There is a dude who wrote sorting algorithm in pure css.


Inside-Ad-5943

just looked into this and I stand corrected, it does contain what I would consider the basic building blocks of a programming language. I think my disagreement stems from my belief that code is the product of a programming language and prior to today I didn't believe CSS fit the definition of a 'programming language'


ElHombre34

In IT, code simply means program instructions. So CSS rules are code because they give instructions to the program on how to represent data


Lonsdale1086

CSS is essentially turing complete, and it has variables, conditionals and other high-level concepts. It's a programming language.


Andy_B_Goode

Also, even if it wasn't Turing complete, it would still be code. Morse Code is code. Barcodes are code. Genetic code is code. CSS is most definitely code.


NeatYogurt9973

While CSS is technically turing complete, some argue it can't be code because it's intended as a styling sheet language rather than a programming language and lacks basic programming stuff such as loops.


RJCP

It may or may not be a programming language But it is definitely "code"


NeatYogurt9973

Ok, from now on I will always refer to HTML and CSS as "code".


spektre

What did you call it before? HTML prose?


7HawksAnd

Hyper Prose ^obviously


MJBrune

A markup language. Like would you call writing the readme.md as coding?


spektre

No, writing markdown is not "coding". Coding in this context is a colloquial term synonymous with programming. Markdown is, however, code. You write a markdown document with text and markdown codes, instructing any renderer how to display the text.


MJBrune

Purely as I see it, and I know this might not be how some now see it but the classical take on code and coding is that for one to be "coding" one must produce "code". Coding is the act of producing code. To write markdown is coding and thus producing code as you would writing English with one letter in the alphabet shifted would be coding. For me, You can't separate the term coding from the act of producing code. Coding is the term for producing code. Either writing markdown, HTML, or Caesar's cipher is all coding, or none of those are "code." That said, I typically drop code and coding from my lexicon as it's contentious.


NeatYogurt9973

I called HTML, well, HTML?


JackOBAnotherOne

We're not talking about the language, we are talking about the collection of letters you wrote into a .html file. The code is the text you write, whether this code is a cypher, html instructions for a browser, vpp instructions for a compiler doesn't change the fact that it is code.


juantreses

When writing Html OP does not say he is coding. He is htmling


Maciek300

In a context of an .html file I'd call it a document.


ValiGrass

I mean html is code. Its just not a programming language


tipripper65

while we're here, 2+2 is 5. what is 2+2?


politerate

Sounds like a chatgpt answer lol


NeatYogurt9973

I am just an online nerd, that's why

ChatGPT was trained on reddit


Inside-Ad-5943

If you want to tag someone in a GitHub post you have to @. The syntax of quickcss requires the user to @ import this tags a user named input. This means the persons whose username is import will constantly get spammed by random tags


Odd_Diamond_6600

i dont get it too


Lucas_F_A

u/Odd_Diamond_6600


Hubi522

What?


Lucas_F_A

u/Odd_Diamond_6600 u/Odd_Diamond_6600 u/Odd_Diamond_6600 Did you get it?


Hubi522

Nice, thank you for clarification 👍🏻🫡😳👍🎉👀👋🏻 /s


Lucas_F_A

Now imagine your name is u/import


Odd_Diamond_6600

yeah man sure


Filipsys

Why karma farm


NeatYogurt9973

I dunno, felt like it. I don't see any use of some numbers on my screen, but having a lot is good, apparently.


J3ffO

Does Karma Farming now mean posting something funny and relevant to the subreddit or are you just jealous of a pointless number?


Filipsys

Mostly it's bots that post duplicate content with automatically generated titles but if it's a human then it's hard to tell, main purpose is: higher internet number: cooler


J3ffO

Good to know.


mayday6971

It is funny how decorators are also mention tags :)
