I'm not sure developers are really the problem. It seems like over the past 10-15 years the video game publishing industry has adopted Hollywood turd-polishing tactics (late review embargo dates, extremely frontloaded marketing blitzes with almost no useful/accurate information) to try to sell troubled productions as-is instead of overhauling them. Anthem absolutely reeks of this, for example.
Yeah - this is exactly the root of what I'm getting at. Nobody really know's who "the government" really is. They're so bad at keeping their own secrets secure and in the right place - I sure as hell don't trust the least common denominator among gov't employees when it comes to privacy and ethics to have anywhere near the kind of observation into my life they already have from a squad car filled with feds and a telephoto lens...

You can call me a fan, I at least think they are cool and clever, and I like the idea. If a magic coin comes along and is the one true coin that elegantly solves all current problems, I'd think that was great. I don't currently hold any amount of crypto with any hope of getting rich off it.. so it wouldn't really matter to me.
Most people who care about such things have already come to terms with the fact devices they expose to the internet are scanned by botnets/hackers several times an hour.

Once the avalanche is in progress, a government plan to add an extra snowflake scarcely matters.

These estimates are bizarrely high, in my experience.

Laptop: RAM + 1GB.

Laptops hibernate, and they need space for that. The extra gig is for temp space during the hibernate/restore time periods.

Desktop: 1GB.

Linux will often use some swap space when available for libraries which are technically loaded into memory but will never actually be called again. This is typically in the 100-300MB range.

Server: minimum 1GB -> 1/16 RAM -> maximum 8GB

Servers shouldn't swap; as soon as they do, you should either be adding more RAM or figuring out what went wrong. In the meantime, a little swap will let you ride out a short storm. If you're actively swapping on 8GB of RAM, you have a more serious problem anyway.

Assume that these numbers will change, mostly under the impact of new storage technology. SSD made swapping much less nasty for the system's performance, but at a more serious cost to the storage's lifetime.
What would happen if a plebeian performed this free pen testing? I think we have several examples.

I feel like I'm way out of touch with what I read online about game prices, and I don't think that I'm looking at things wrong. Games still cost about what they did when I was a teenager -- which is to say game prices haven't kept price with inflation. Meanwhile, games have added big increased in graphical quality, in the amount of voice acting and mo-cap involved, in the size of maps and whatnot. Meanwhile, for instance, I got Assassin's Creed Odyssey for myself for Christmas, and I've been putting 5-10 hours a week into it ever since and I'm still only about 2/3rd of the way through the main story campaign. There's almost no other entertainment medium where I can go spend $60 and get that much time spent out of it. And by just waiting for the holidays, I didn't have to spend $60, I spent like $30. And yet online I see complaint after complaint about how big AAA games aren't delivering value for the money because of all the DLC available that they feel "should" be part of the base game. I don't get it.

They are widely used data structures and so, in the opinion of the Go creators, justified separate specialized implementations in the Go compiler. In other words, there isn't actually a Generics system in the language (I don't actually know this, correct me if I'm wrong). For various reasons. There are quite a few talks and design docs from Rob Pike and Russ Cox if you look for them.

I didn’t say I did not spend time, I said - could not. Same applies for most people in the team. I think we had coupe folks who were spending a lot of their time explaining CSS.

My theory is that CSS was something that was treated as a task. Make a lot of client/server side development and then make these freaking lines align perfectly. So, most of time engineers were avoiding styles, applying them was the most tedious and hated part of the job.

And it is hard to be good at something you hate.

In fact, that's actually been used as a feature in molecular biology. Traditionally many visualizations in biology were done by labeling molecules of interest with radioisotopes and having these form images on x-ray film. This is still done in some cases, but is being mostly replaced with fluorescent labeling.

There's people that remap those on vim, but I found that doing so may force you to start remapping all the keys on every vim-inspired application and plug in.

It happens that "J" and "K" are next to each other and easily reachable, and that "H" and "L" still are 2 columns away and "h" is on the left, so using them in their new position it's not that bad.
Nobody thinks it's hard to delete a file.

It's hard to know when you can delete a rule. Are you positive that all the rules in your component's CSS file only affect that component? Then great, delete the whole file.

What about the individual rules within that file? How do you know whether your app is still rendering any components with the `fancy` modifier anymore? Keep in mind any JS on the page could be be dynamically toggling the `fancy` class, including in very rare circumstances, including from dynamic data that might bring the string "fancy" with it so that you can't just grep your codebase for it. Is it safe to delete the `fancy` rule?

Another problem is that even BEM admits that sometimes nested selectors are necessary. It's right there in the BEM FAQ: "While in general BEM recommends avoiding nested selectors, in this case they are reasonable."

Sometimes you need your button to look a certain way when it's inside a nav menu item.

So what's the solution? Either a nested selector (targeting both the nav item and the button) or a new modifier on your button, like `is-in-nav-item`.

Eventually your app changes and you're not rendering any buttons in nav items anymore. Maybe nav items don't even exist anymore and you at least remembered to delete those. Are you also going to remember all the places in your code you need to track down to delete these obsolete nested selectors/modifiers? Or is there just going to be dead code now?

What if the selector is slightly more general, and you're not sure if it's targeting other things as well? Are you confident that you won't break anything else? CSS selectors are effectively global. Anything could be secretly relying on the styles that a selector applies.

That is the problem. Not deleting a file. Your individual component CSS files are now the "append-only" stylesheets, not necessarily the whole combined stylesheet.
> Yes, but by far more important are bounds checks.

Sure, but I'm failing to see why having other checks isn't important. I mean, generics aren't hard to use... They're way easier to grasp than Channels (a great feature), and easier to use daily than go generate. I dunno.
They also started out with a fairly expensive premium app, and then jettisoned it in favor of a subscription-based service, leaving everyone who bought the app high and dry.

The 3rd point is the same for any fiat currency on forex and many governments are the same as the ICO shills.

I'm not justifying them just stating that in many cases the gamble on currency is the same.

You did present a nice Strawman but I'll bite. Ok. I get asked about cryptos quite often also. So if not a digital currency like BTC then what?

Why use cash? Only criminals use cash! Really! If LE should catch you having more than x,xxx.00 in cash they should arrest you? Why? Because obviously you are trying to do something illegal. (civil forfeiture)

Trivial to do tx with 3rd parties???? What with what? PayPal? There have been no alternatives, or equivalent to cash in the electronic age to date. Including BTC. Although BTC is an attempt to provide similar means as cash (fiat) in a global digital sense.

If you haven't noticed, there are plenty of standards kicking around in graphics and there isn't a need for any more. AMD, Nvidia, and Intel do a pretty good job supporting all of them - you can write a DX12 (or opengl, or Vulkan) program and run it any any vendor's hardware.

What problem do you think having a standard ISA would solve? Nobody distributes native binaries for GPUs, only shaders (either compiled to intermediate representation or no). From my perspective, all that a standard ISA would cause is less implementation flexibility in the hardware since now the hardware has to deal with compatibility instead of letting the vendor-specific compiler included with the driver deal with it.
Ken Nordine also lent his unique narrative stylings to a game from the LaserDisc era of arcade video games, in 1983.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKyWNEGh_yk&t=30s

It's hard to describe exactly, but the technological "rules" about what experiences a video game could provide were not at all clear at that time, and there was still a mystique about the potential of every new video game.

Cube Quest had cutting-edge computer-generated animation (on video) and vector graphics, but to have Ken Nordine's amazing narration specifically recorded for the game was a new level in game production.

Ultimately, the spatial world inside the game (a tube shooter) was disappointing after all of the very cool presentation it was wrapped in. But before you went to wait in line for Atari's Star Wars, you would want to stick around again for the introduction.

NB: The on-screen instructions for Cube Quest may be the first documented use of the phrase "game play" for a video game.
There's no free lunch. These gains come with a tradeoff in security. Bitcoin's proof of work which uses an algorithm and processing power to secure it. Vault/Algorand throws out PoW and replaces it that with a pure "proof of stake" system that requires 2/3rds of the currency's value is held by honest actors. In addition, if the network were ever to go offline, there isn't a deterministic way to get it back online.

Copying and pasting code multiple times creates spaghetti code.

Why does copying CSS multiple times (once for each component) not also create spaghetti code?

Many elements share style in a normal webpage. Font, for example. Having to specify the font in every file seems crazily redundant.

And if you separate that out into a separate file that gets included in many places, you lose all the other benefits like "painless maintenance".
CSS is not a programming language, and it shouldn't be viewed or compared as one.

Those techniques work well for design systems. CSS in JS on its own, and Vue's Scoped CSS are a different thing than Tachyons, Tailwind or Styled System. Styled System is for CSS in JS what Tachyons is for CSS, you're using a design system, either the default values that are already present, or your own customizations.

This basically frees you from making style decisions while coding, depending on your design system, things will just work well together as you create your components, with spacing, colors etc. all being already figured out.

This means that you don't "translate" pixel perfect designs, you use design tools like Sketch or Figma to find the rules and scales that you then translate into the style sheet/design system.

Instead of doing the "configuration" in your CSS when you're coding, you basically have an intermediate step where you set up those rules in advance, and can just focus on composition.
Here's an easy example... Google Books has many old issues of Popular Mechanics which exist in full downloadable form on the Internet Archive -- yet you can only see individual pages on Google Books and can't download the magazine.

This is because Google Books is acting like they own the copyright (or, at least, they feel the need to police it.)

There are many cases where you can download the entire book from Hathi Trust when you are sitting at a university library, giving you a PDF you can use anywhere. But you cannot even see the entire book or download it from Google Books (which has given its scan to Hathi). This is just stupid.

This makes the assumption that if they make it, the market will obviously move to their product. The genre has a fairly fixed market, and taking away players from their previous investments (time and money) will take an exceptionally good game.

Ironically, making good, interesting games is the one thing that Activision/Blizzard are/have been shifting their focus away from, ever since the iconic "I want to take the fun out of making video games" statement from their CEO.

This is a far more general problem of states in general. They always see themselves above the rules they apply to others and this is particularly problematic in the medical realm, but also affects criminal justice for example.

Governments just don't follow their own rules. This means that medical files just aren't trustworthy anymore, in the sense that the patient has no control over who sees these and how far they are sent.

I could say "this is a problem in the Netherlands, Belgium, UK and US" where I know the situation is that essentially any doctor or medical staff anywhere can see everything in your file, related or not (e.g. in Belgium a pharmacist getting a woman's birth control prescription can see if they were ever treated in psychiatric care. Hell, the way the system looks, it'd literally be hard for the pharmacist not to notice). These files can even be used against you in a court of law, for example by child services.

Not that all these countries aren't very busy introducing new ways to have the state do whatever they want to do without judicial intervention (Belgium "GAS boetes" and "snelrecht", Netherlands "ZSM"), and just not care how much damage is caused to save a few bucks.

So what are you to do as a patient ? You cannot have this file destroyed, because these people have exceptions to every known privacy law. You can usually in theory have it corrected, but the system these governments put in place is fragmented into hundreds of pieces and nobody knows how it works, so good luck. Additionally actually getting them to cooperate even using an order from a judge is near impossible, and the systems may literally not support corrections in some cases.

At this point the only advice you can give is to please ask every doctor you ask to not make any notes or files on you at all, and just deal with that. "I travel a lot and this just causes trouble" is a useful phrase in that regard.
