What is the purpose of the ‘figure’ tag in html? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/10
Not being a front-end web-developer, I hadn’t seen¹ the figure element in HTML code before, so here are some links:
- [Wayback/Archive] What is the purpose of the ‘figure’ tag in html? – Stack Overflow
- [Wayback/Archive] : The Figure with Optional Caption element – HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN
- [Wayback/Archive] Why use the figure element? – HTML-CSS – The freeCodeCamp Forum
- [Wayback/Archive] : The Figure Caption element – HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN
TL;DR – figure it is like a div element, but context specific: it groups elements that logically for one figure, including an optional description in the figcaption.
The group can be moved outside the main content flow without changing the meaning of that flow.
Query: [Wayback/Archive] what is a html figure for – Google Search
--jeroen
¹ I surely am not the only one, as the figure element isn’t even on the element usage graph in the [Wayback/Archive] HTML Study – AWR SEO Guide.

badamczewski/PowerUp: ⚡ Decompilation Tools and High Productivity Utilities ⚡
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/10
Below is a really cool tool-set for Visual Studio Code of which its development started when I was recovering from life-saving bowel-surgery during the series of procedures to get rid of my metastasised rectum cancer.
It supports decompilation of various languages (.NET C# and F#, GO, Rust and clang) into either x86 assembler or IR (Intermediate Representation, on the .NET side often also called IL for Intermediate Language) to research how well a compiler stack behaves.

[OpenWrt Wiki] MikroTik
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/09
I wasn’t aware that [Wayback/Archive] [OpenWrt Wiki] MikroTik was available. Many devices are incomplete in support, but it is good to know there is an alternative to the buggy scripting interface of RouterOS.
For the hEX series, support seems good enough to give it a try this summer, but I need to figure out of the hEX PoE RB960PGS is supported. I have good hopes as other models of the RB9* series are.
A few warnings from the below links:
- First Things First: Don’t Lose Your RouterOS License
- OpenWrt is not compatible with the bootloader of RouterOS v7. Do NOT upgrade the firmware on your device to RouterOS v7 or, if you did, downgrade to RouterOS Firmware v6 before installing OpenWrt. RouterOS doesn’t allow to downgrade below factory firmware version, but OpenWrt boots and works fine with versions up to 6.49.10 or beyond. Confirmed working: 6.47.10 (tested on SXTsq 5 ac), 6.49.10 (tested on SXTsq 2nD).
- If the installation fails, you might need to upgrade/downgrade to RouterOS 6.49.2
- Warning: Don’t upgrade RouterOS packages & bootloader to 7.2.1 otherwise ‘sysupgrade image’ install will fail!
- If latested release of RouterOS does not work, try an older version. 6.45 is reportet to work as a first debrick, you can upgrade later with the Winbox Software to latest release
These hEX related models are supported on the web-site (which also explains major differences with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) models:

SQL: WHERE versus HAVING
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/08
While writing Some SQLite things I recently learned a while ago I bumped into SQLite extending the SQL syntax allowing SELECT column aliases in WHERE and ON conditions of JOIN clauses whereas standard SQL only allows it in the HAVING clause (some other DMBS allow this as well).
It reminded I never wrote a blog post about WHERE versus HAVING, which can be phrased into just two points:
WHEREis applied before theSELECTis assembledHAVINGis applied after theSELECTis assembled
This also means WHERE has a lot more influence on performance than HAVING, so using HAVING just so you can use aliases there instead of in the WHERE clauses is not a smart idea unless you verify in the query plan and query optimisation output of our DBMS this has no influence (some DBMS even allow you to see the results of query rewriting which you can use to verify if two queries really are equivalent from the DBMS perspective).
Since HAVING can be used without GROUP BY, many people work around the WHERE alias limitation. Given the above effects on performance, this is not a wise idea, despite the same end-results. See the example below that uses the [Wayback/Archive] MySQL :: Sakila Sample Database: customer table.
Luckily there has been enough other material explaining WHERE versus HAVING, so I can reference it from here, for instance (note note limited to MySQL/MariaDB) [Wayback/Archive] mysql – WHERE vs HAVING – Stack Overflow (thanks [Wayback/Archive] baloo and [Wayback/Archive] Fishdrowned):

Notes on Firefox cookie managers
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/07
I tried these:
- 3.7 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
- 4.4 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie Quick Manager – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
For me, the last works best and has its configuration page at moz-extension://4ea87baa-23b8-4b4a-bd88-7a6bc4b8e442/cookies.html?parent_url=
The first starts with an intimidating query screen without clear indication on what each query option means nor how to perform deletes on the returned cookies.
I did not yet try 4.2 stars [Wayback/Archive] Cookie-Editor – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
Query: [Wayback/Archive] firefox cookie manager – Google Suche
Note: my usual starting point is moz-extension://4ea87baa-23b8-4b4a-bd88-7a6bc4b8e442/cookies.html?parent_url=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.archive.org%2Fweb%2F*%2F as that will select cookies on web.archive.org where lots of archived sites pollute that domain with cookies. This inevitably causes the Wayback Machine save page to error out.
