No, because CSS is still chock-full of things that nobody ever wanted to do. Things in it that people used to want to do, but don’t as often anymore, are still more useful than those.
In domains like chemistry, you hae this research process of "try every combo of material x process and see what you get".

Hopefully detailed null results will avoid too many people going down the same path. But even more hopefully, it will let other researchers read the process and perhaps find another way to actually get to success.

"We tried A x B in this way, that way, some other way, none of them worked" is pretty valuable info. Also pretty good when it comes to confirmation of theoretical work

Westpac's interface is quite funny. Only very recently did they allow pasting passwords from a password manager, previously you had to use an on screen keyboard (presumably to stop keyloggers).

On that note; any recommendations for Aussie banks that have a secure and modern interface?

Here would be my honest response to that: are you building a Facebook/Twitter scale app?

I've watched quite a few companies waste a lot of time with static IDL systems for performance reasons (going back to CORBA in the 90s) and have had the exact opposite effect.

Facebook has Thrift internally but ultimately ended up building GraphQL because orchestration and parallelism was the limiting factor (they also need a giant amount of coordination glue code to map from Thrift to JSON anyways). Netflix had similar problems which resulted in them building Falcor.

gRPC-web, as well, needs this serialization hop step, so depending on your use case, it may actually be slower. The last two companies I've worked at were in the 50-300 services range with 50K+ business customers and in the 10M+ B2C consumer usage range, and in both cases the IDL translation case (gRPC in one and Thrift in the other) was slower than JSON for many of their applications. Not all cases mind you, but it was definitely hit or miss.

In regards to utilization as well, will the reduced overhead of server CPU utilization for protobuf return a higher ROI than the added engineering time of the solution vs something like Swagger codegen? Will the engineers' extra energy expenditure for their work ever make up for the (potentially) reduced servers? These are serious questions and I think a lot of companies waste a lot of effort and resources by not answering those questions honestly.

Removal of 32-bit support on iOS was like that.

I'd bought an iPad pro just a few months before, and suddenly I couldn't use apps I require (no updates available).

Instead of downgrading to the new-and-busted-iOS version I just sold the friggin iPad (not "fit for purpose") and went back to my ancient iPad (original model). Doesn't get used for browsing the net obviously, but at least that model still works.

Sure, although in that case it's having a passport in your possession that serves as ID, as distinct from merely knowing the number.

I suspect you might find that a different passport with a different number, expiry date, or even nationality but the same name and date of birth would work equally well.
Does the 2013 rebuttal study in that link tell us anything about the safety of ingesting lavender extract (e.g. like the Silexan studies given above)? Wouldn't that involve much higher absorption than topical application?

Update: OK, weirdly enough, Tisserand seems to be highly involved in the aromatherapy industry per their own website, and the study [0] seems to involve researchers from the "Research Institute for Fragrance Materials" which sounds suspiciously like an industry-related group - is this reputable at all??

Matt Easton's schola gladiatoria youtube channel is mentioned elsewhere in the comments, and he's of the opinion that, in addition to the facets of unreliability and slow reloading (such that it was difficult to take a second shot if you missed), the lack of stopping power was another considerable factor towards the continued usefulness of swords, especially when considered in combination with a pistol (i.e., weapons used at close range). There are, from Easton's citations, many accounts from soldiers during the era of black powder that describe assailants who had been shot, and hit, in an eventually lethal area; however, they had enough left in them to carry through their attack, resulting in both the assailant and defender killed or injured. At close range, early pistols, even early revolvers, had decent offensive capability, but no defensive capability, in case your attack, even if it hit, did not stop or kill, so it was still handy to have a sword around to parry if need be.

Good point! Still, Tesla went from -$520 million to +$516 million in non-GAAP net income, and that's with the vast majority of 3s being sold in the US. Expanding to Canada and launching in Europe should be very profitable.

In terms of capital raises, this SA article posits why Tesla may not need as much capital going forward.

> Box-sizing should be border-box by default.

It was for many years for >98% of the users when IE had near-total market dominance. But W3C rejected sanity and refused to fix the spec, insisting that IE should break every website on the planet and implement the W3C box model.

This was a major PITA for anyone who cared enough to design a website that worked equally well in IE, Firefox, and Opera, which became an increasingly annoying problem as Chrome and Firefox gained in popularity. A great many developer hours (including mine) have been lost on the W3C's foolish stubbornness.

That is not accurate. If you went head-to-head with the Standard Oil Company they would send a guy over to blow up your house. The East India Company was based chiefly on genocide and high seas piracy. All this yip-yap about Google being a ruthless monopoly on a historic scale is completely ridiculous.

As for the Chrome login thing, being logged in on Chrome does not in any way shape or form alter the way in which Chrome interacts with non-Google sites or services. So I don't see how it is an example of how Google exercises control over the web. Certainly not in a world where I need only drag Chrome into the trash can to switch browsers (and, indeed, on a computer where Apple constantly exhorts me, in a way I cannot disable, to switch to Safari instead).
We have, yep. Google Photos, too. I've already got a PoC for that, but it'll take some time for us to integrate it into Relica. Great suggestion!

Correct, most of the DOD stuff was from 'curveball'.

> laundered through the administration (particularly Cheney's office) as anonymous leaks.

Aside from the fact that Judith Miller knew who she was getting her data from, doesn't this prove my point about anonymous sources being bullshit? The example you just gave was state sponsored propaganda 'leaked' to the NYT in order to sell the public on a pointless war. Had the public been made savvy who the sources were, we probably would not have had any sort of approval on the war.

None the less, that doesn't change what is going on here. Journalists can editorialize any topic they would like and face no repercussions because the sources are anonymous and corroboration is impossible. There is no risk to printing lies when the get out of jail free card is effectively a non verifiable entity.
I see I need to start adding /sarcasm tags. Apparently scare quotes dont work. To clarify...I definitely think false positives are a big issue, though decision makers will often think otherwise as decisions are often not made by minorities.
Personally, as someone who makes a living building stuff on WordPress, I am extremely concerned about this transition.

First off, I don't think Automattic has handled communicating it very well. Gutenberg is going to be a big, seismic change in what WordPress is. It seems reasonable to expect lots of themes and plugins will break when it goes live, especially older ones that haven't been as actively maintained.

And yet, if you surveyed the global WordPress userbase, I'd be amazed if you found even 10% of them were aware that such a change is even on the horizon. The communication to developers around Gutenberg has been hit or miss, but at least they've been making an effort on that front. In terms of communicating to the general WP-using public, other than a notice in the dashboard in the most recent version, I'm not aware of there having actually been any. So there are going to be a lot of "WTF" moments when people update to 5.0 and things start breaking or behaving contrary to expectations.

Secondly, I fear that Gutenberg is going to split the WordPress developer community. WP has always been a PHP project; if you wanted to contribute, whether to WP core itself or by writing themes or plugins, PHP was the language you needed to know to do that. Gutenberg, however, is all React-based, which means now there will be two classes of WP developers: people working on things that don't touch Gutenberg, who will be writing PHP, and people working on things that do, who will be writing JavaScript/React.

(My suspicion, even though Automattic has denied it strenuously, is that the master plan is to slowly phase out PHP and turn WordPress into a React-only project. So after Gutenberg, we will see more and more components of WP getting rewritten in React, until one day there just won't be any PHP left anymore.)

Thing is, I don't know a lot of PHP developers who are also React whizzes, or vice versa. So I fear that Automattic is taking one of the core reasons for WordPress' success, its absolutely huge developer community, and throwing it overboard. If the plan really is for WP to become a React project, a whole lot of PHP developers are going to need to become React developers in relatively short order. Some will be able to make that transition, but I worry that many will not. Maybe it will pick up enough new React fans to make up for them, I dunno. But that seems like an optimistic read to me.

The more I learn about Gutenberg, the more I wish Automattic had just started a second, React-based project and used that as a clean sheet of paper, rather than taking all these ideas and trying to jam them into WordPress to make some sort of software turducken.
>There is a massive difference between doing something that will clearly hurt someone and choosing to do only work that benefits you.

This is the most-downvoted comment I've ever made on HN, and I think your explanation is in summary what people disagree with.

However, the problems of bias and integrity in scientific research can and do have costs in terms of harm to human life. It's just that the connection between just following incentives and bad scientific research is much more abstracted, and therefore is not clearly intentional negligence, as the case with something like food safety.
Im not sure why you’re confused. ilovecaching made claims about the relative performance of programming languages based on the benchmark game.

What an incredible shame that would be! I just hope that we can get some copyright reform someday, at least for non-Disney entities. It's absurd that it can be easier to find a bestseller from 1850 than one from 1950.
I don't think things like syntax and schemes are the real bad parts. The real bad part is that CSS is in no way designed to be interacted with by anything but CSS.

Just yesterday I was making a music player position bar, and using CSS transitions to have it smoothely update itself. Set the duration of the transition and it goes on.

But what about when the transition takes effect? JS doesn't know when a style is actually updated and can then have a new property overwriting it to make the transition happen. If you do properties too quickly the transition won't happen. Such as if a user clicks on the bar to change the position, I have to hack in a 100ms setTimeout to set the new transition duration after stopping the transition with transition:none;

Why can't I control a transitions location? Chrome's animation viewer can go back and forth in time easily.

Why isn't interactivity seperate from CSS? CSS elements cannot effect those outside of its scope. You require JS for just dumb simple things that should be natively supportable. For instance you can make CSS do things based upon URL hash names like #somename, but you can't set them in CSS. You can't change attributes on elements, or classes or anything like that.

I think we've gotten to the point where JS is the 'programming language' of a webpage that has intentions far beyond rendering and interactivity. Perhaps we need a newer kind of CSS that's made for dynamic interactions. That way great UI's can be built in a safer css-like environment.

> I've always thought of type 2 diabetes as a disease of the pancreas, rather than a disease of the intestine.

It seems just so many diseases of whatever actually are diseases of the intestine and originate from unhealthy intestinal microbiome. This example is a yet another proof.

Whoever interested in using this idea to improve/save their health should read Dr. Kellman's microbiome diet book (it's fairly well written, exciting, practical and includes a fair amount of references to scientific research).

Excellent, I was just building a website today which needs a privacy focused version of Disqus. Signed up.

Feedback: Little annoying that it throws you straight to the "Create a project" page, but then disables the "create button" until email is verified.

It increases complexity at every level from the apple developer, to the third party developer, to the end user. The costs aren't even manageable without additional restrictions.

Red Hat only back-ports packages because they are paid to do so per their support contracts. And even under RHEL, you may have to upgrade to the latest packages (for your OS version) to receive support.

And anyway, if you don't trust your OS vendor to not try to screw you over (planned obsolescence) in major releases, why would you trust them for any update whatsoever? Lack of vendor trust is not something you solve through packaging.

Sadly I keep getting told that but have yet to find any music service that actually figures out what I like. My fiction is that you have to like one of 5 or 10 mainstream styles or you have to not be picky.

I put in Prince and Spotify gives me rap. Prince has nothing to do with wrap. I put in Pizzicato 5 and Spotify gives me J-POP. Pizzicato 5 has nothing to do with J-Pop. I put in a dance tune from a popular western pop band and Spotfiy gives me ballads from popular western pop bands when what I wanted was more dance tunes.

I've never had Spotify or Apple Music or Youtube Music work ever.

Even their own playlists don't work. I tried playing "Morning Pickup" and first 2 songs are super depressing.
As a foreigner living in South East Asia, in my experience asking for a passport number + date of birth + trivial questions (do you have a mortgage? Do you have a loan?, etc...) is used to prove your identity over the phone.

The questions are easily bruteforced through so I'd say it's a real issue. I'm deeply concerned by that leak because of that.

And I find it more concerning than BA leaking my financial details without my passport number (which also recently happened and led me to cancel one of my credit card)

The answer--as I recall--from the Chromium team was that they see trailers access as a security issue. HTTP/2 multiplexes many connections and it was a security risk, they said, to allow one client process to access trailers for connections that may be used by different processes or even entirely different sites behind the same load balancer/reverse proxy/etc.

What I don't understand is why gRPC was designed to depend on trailers. Web gRPC is the killer app for this technology. If they could build a new version of the protocol that doesn't rely on trailers, I would be thrilled.
I’d really like a clone of this device that functions as a charger.
I really have trouble seeing VR becoming mainstream for two reasons that really have nothing to do with technology:

* Real world space. I know personally I'd have to sell some furniture to make it practical in my apartment. I think a lot of young people are in the same boat -- if you live in a major city and you're young it's hard to really afford enough space for this kind of thing. I'm not gonna rearrange my living room for it.

* Weird movement. Like, most games are either vehicle based or use some sort of teleportation mechanic. There's a really hard limit on what you can do with VR without making a lot of people really sick; and even if you solve the motion-sickness you still have a situation where you're tethered to a specific spot with a limited amount of movement before you walk into a wall.

I don't really see the enterprise usage either. How is it that much of an improvement over a webcam and a google hangout?
>That's the report I mentioned in my earlier comment, and it's possibly the poorest quality "study" that I see cited with any regularity. Sample size of three, no controls, no blinding, no analysis of the products used. It's functionally equivalent to an old wive's tale.

I don't think you've mischaracterized me, but you've given undue attention to statements that I consider tangental and would be okay with discarding. Let me restate my position, which I think I can do more clearly now:

1. The general rule that English speakers use to choose a gendered pronoun depends on what the speaker believes a person's gender is, not what the referent prefers or believes. You don't get to choose their words for them.

2. You should clearly be offended if someone uses the opposite gender that they believe you to be. (If someone thinks you're male but refers to you as female).

3. It's not at all clear whether or not you should be offended when someone uses the opposite gender that you believe yourself to be, even if they know what you prefer. (If you believe you're male, but they believe you're female). The fact that I'm neutral or uncertain in this case might be why you couldn't pin down my argument.

The other way to do it is to change ownership of the executable to nobody:nogroup and set the setuid/setgid bits.

Perhaps you could simply put those chown/chmod commands in the docs:

sudo chown nobody:nogroup path_to_up
sudo chmod ug+s path_to_up

I've tested it, and it seems to prevent deleting files with rm. What doesn't work, however, is that it also prevents writing the results to up1.sh. Perhaps if writing to the file fails (or you detect the process is running as nobody), you could send the finished pipe sequence to stdout instead of a shell script. Then, people could run it like:

cmd | up > up1.sh
