Element diversity An Article by Manuel Matuzovic www.matuzo.at Did you know that there are 112 elements in HTML?! It would be a bit too easy to only blame JS frameworks [for the overuse of divs]; there are several reasons we use divs so much: Poor knowledge of HTML elements Lack of understanding why Insufficient CSS skills Default styles JS frameworks We don't care enough about the page Some elements are hard to style html
Makers and Making An Article by Alan Jacobs blog.ayjay.org The [Silmarils] are good; their making was at least potentially innocent; but afterward arose a lust for owning and controlling that led to great tragedy… The aspect of humanity which the elves represent most fully – both for good and ill – is the creative one.” And this is why “making” in and of itself is not the answer to our decadent moment. “Love of things, especially artificial things, could be seen as the besetting sin of modern civilisation, and in a way a new one, not quite Avarice and not quite Pride, but somehow attached to both” – and this is the Fëanor Temptation. It is in light of this temptation that I advocate repair, which is a mode of caring for what we have not made, but rather what we have inherited. We will not be saved by the making of artifacts — or from the repair of them, either; but the imperative of repair has these salutary effects: it reminds us of our debt to those who came before us and of the fragility of human constructs.
