I hate when my phone has great signal but my apps aren't loading any data, and it's because my phone has decided to try connecting to a free WiFi network, so every request is silently getting redirected to the portal login screen in the background.

I'm catching up on this year's Advent of Code puzzles - this time around I remember that `ARGF` exists, which makes it much easier to write code that _receives_ the input rather than having to hardcode it. gareth.fyi/2024/12/04/a...

Fun learning about CSS today. Since HTML5, element IDs can start with numbers. But in the CSS selectors spec, and therefore in `document.querySelector`, identifiers *can't*. So how do you target an element with a numeric ID? <div id="123">Hello</div> #123 { color: red } /* No */
