@baenencalin In my opinion, you should use <button> for a button, and not <a>. But the answer to your question is a "maybe?" as there could be exceptions.
There are some situations (e.g. when a service like login or payment methods are handled by an external site) when it's a gray area what element should be used: semantically, it makes sense to style an <a> to look like a button because, although they are punctual actions (login, payment, etc.), they redirect the website to somewhere else (the external service) and will eventually come back. It's not a one-size-fits-all type of thing. Once that's said, most of the cases I've found a <div>/<a> to behave like a <button> didn't fall on those categories, and they should have definitely been a <button>.

If it is meant to be a button, it should be in the <button> tag. If the button is meant to be a hyperlink to another page, place the <a> tag inside the <button> tag.
@sarahokolo I wouldn't recommend that, as it will most likely end up being invalid HTML. An interactive element (<a> with an href attribute) cannot be inside of another interactive element (<button>). (Reference)

Honestly, I'm surprised they didn't take the opportunity to switch the file-path-scheme with Windows 11 — I think that could have been a golden opportunity for unification.
I don't think there's a way to make the change backwards compatible. Any old program would need to be recompiled? Then you'd end with the majority of customers staying with Windows 10--oh wait!
Hello! I'm Rasheed, a .NET enthusiast who's constantly looking for new things to learn and forget, that's why I started writing in the first place, but I love writing tho :-)

I do things, with things. Sometimes virtually. Sometimes musically. Sometimes visually. Sometimes theoretically.

When I hear an HR mention something ridiculous like this, I go "Could you please repeat yourself ?" Once they do, I ask "Do people still apply and go through the interview process after hearing that ?"
When I'm working with unix admins I use "directory", when I'm with Win/Mac admins I use "folder", and when I code I use "path". I'm just a tech "whore" who will "be whatever you need me to be"! Ha ha!!

You can CD (change directory) at the command line (aka console) but you can't CF (change folder). 😁
I think Directory is just an older term used at command line and then when GUIs came along people saw the yellow folder and started calling them folders.
I understand directory to be a technical term for a concept of the file system, strictly related to inodes. Folders are a more general topic, including folders in the Registry or when viewing the old control panel from Explorer.

One of the most salient features of our Tech Hiring culture is that there is so much bullshit. Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted.

I published a new comiCSS cartoon, and it is number 100, so I'm happy 🥳🎉🎊💯
Also, please, never use a
<div>instead of a<button>.I'm not using them instead ov buttons — but is it fine to use
as asbuttons?@baenencalin In my opinion, you should use
<button>for a button, and not<a>. But the answer to your question is a "maybe?" as there could be exceptions.There are some situations (e.g. when a service like login or payment methods are handled by an external site) when it's a gray area what element should be used: semantically, it makes sense to style an

Once that's said, most of the cases I've found a<div>/<a>to behave like a<button>didn't fall on those categories, and they should have definitely been a<button>.Sorry for the long answer :$
If it is meant to be a button, it should be in the
<button>tag. If the button is meant to be a hyperlink to another page, place the<a>tag inside the<button>tag.@sarahokolo I wouldn't recommend that, as it will most likely end up being invalid HTML. An interactive element (

good idea! let's see if I can edit it on next monday

when you are a Python 🐍 developer switch to ReactJs with TypeScript ☠

Clever
How do u know it's a frustrating day?
What is QA?
Quality Assurance
Who/what is that?! /s

I can't get it on the first time because I was thinking the issue is missing the closing quote.
Good ol'meme here
When I'm working with unix admins I use "directory", when I'm with Win/Mac admins I use "folder", and when I code I use "path". I'm just a tech "whore" who will "be whatever you need me to be"! Ha ha!!
Can you elaborate on this meme?
I do not understand.
I know a directory is (usually) more broad in sense, but I am unsure what distinguishes it from a "folder" conceptually.
You can CD (change directory) at the command line (aka console) but you can't CF (change folder). 😁
I think Directory is just an older term used at command line and then when GUIs came along people saw the yellow folder and started calling them folders.
Nothing more than that really.
I understand directory to be a technical term for a concept of the file system, strictly related to inodes. Folders are a more general topic, including folders in the Registry or when viewing the old control panel from Explorer.
What are inodes? And what makes folders more general?
I feel this meme way too hard... I have one domain that's like 100€ lol
Instead of registering a new domain name for each project, I just register a subdomain. If the project ever earns $10 then I can buy it a domain.

I know this is a joke….but don’t some languages skip assembly and go straight from source -> bytecode -> bianary?
I hope I'm not late.

I really like this one, but I'd like to see it with this change.
I mean, it is really the truth. 😁🤓
