If your aim is to help people snazz up quick HTML pages, it would be helpful to have as simple URL to include the CSS. Something like watercss.com/light.css. This way, we don't even have to visit your GitHub to get the CDN URL. It'd save some time and make water.css the go-to for quick styling.

Population density argues otherwise [0]. The aboriginal population of Australia pre-colonization is estimated to be around 750K spread out over nearly 3 million square miles.

There may be differing perspectives about how much of it is unusable, but the debate is between "most of the continent" and "even more than that". A nuclear waste storage facility in an unvisited portion of the outback would rank rather low on the list of bad things happening to the indigenous people of Australia, wouldn't you say?

That's going to happen to Nvidia anyway. They must be blind if they can't see that. Even today a very small percentage of gamers are using Nvidia chips, as most games are played on mobile. This is why desktop gaming hardware is getting more expensive every year, as it's becoming more and more of a niche market.

I've thought about tracking my meals, but I don't think I really care enough to know what I ate on which days. That's why I tend to have a simple view on my monthly tracker as a proxy for "cook" (usually healthy), "order in" (never healthy), or "dine out" (depends, but about 50/50). I know people that log everything they eat, but it just winds up being too verbose for me.

I'm really not disciplined enough to keep track of my actual time to that degree. My daily journal is a little bit more of an event log, where I log my schedule for the day and anything interesting that happened. Some days it's very long, some days it's short, but I get something in there every day.

I remember @jessitron mentioning on twitter that streaming on twitch is helping her be more productive.
Yes, and it’s the reason I’m still employed with this company.

About 5 years ago, one of the executives wanted to replace our homegrown software with another product. No one really wanted to switch, but she was insistent and said she would take full ownership of the project. Once the product was in place, they would let go of the development team.

So most of the team saw the writing on the wall and left during the implementation of the product. I was also interviewing for new jobs when all of a sudden the executive quit.

We were only 1/4 of the way through and no other person wanted to take responsibility so the project stopped. I then told them I was thinking of leaving, and they made me an amazing offer since I was one of the few remaining members of the team. We actually all got huge raises to stay.

I’m still wary and keep active at networking, but it’s been a comfortable day job.

> As much as I'm against fossil fuels, coal powered plants only contribute a very minor part to global warming compared to lets say... ships, planes and cars.

Do you have a source behind this? From what I can tell this statement seems wrong. E.g.:

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emiss...

https://ourworldindata.org/energy-production-and-changing-en...

Coal is a huge source of energy. And the dirtiest available. And if electricity+heat production accounts for 25% of global greenhouse gasses, and transportation 14%, there's a decent chance coal power plants contribute just as much to global warming as all of transportation does, and basically zero chance that it plays a "very minor part" when compared to ships, planes, and cars.

What part of XMPP is doing that? I think you're talking about a bug in an implementation of XMPP not the protocol itself. Its like saying you go to an address and get the wrong website. Hard to blame an issue like that on HTTP rather than a server or a client that implements it.

Reading through AOSP documentation and AOSP source code tells another story.

> Binderized HALs. HALs expressed in HAL interface definition language (HIDL). These HALs replace both conventional and legacy HALs used in earlier versions of Android. In a Binderized HAL, the Android framework and HALs communicate with each other using binder inter-process communication (IPC) calls. All devices launching with Android 8.0 or later must support binderized HALs only.

>

> Passthrough HALs. A HIDL-wrapped conventional or legacy HAL. These HALs wrap existing HALs and can serve the HAL in binderized and same-process (passthrough) modes. Devices upgrading to Android 8.0 can use passthrough HALs.

> All other HALs provided by the vendor image can be in passthrough OR binderized mode. In a fully Treble-compliant device, all of these must be binderized.

> Legacy HALs (also deprecated in Android 8.0) are interfaces that predate conventional HALs. A few important subsystems (Wi-Fi, Radio Interface Layer, and Bluetooth) are legacy HALs. While there's no uniform or standardized way to describe a legacy HAL, anything predating Android 8.0 that is not a conventional HAL is a legacy HAL. Parts of some legacy HALs are contained in libhardware_legacy, while other parts are interspersed throughout the codebase.

A binderized HAL driver only requires a minimal kernel surface, if anything.

Thankfully we are using far less coal now in the UK and plan to carry on using less.

Yes coal is terrible and the sooner the world stopa using it the better, but the answer isn't 'if we can't have nuclear then we can only have coal' is a lie.

I've always wondered: what is the incentive for colleges to put courses up for free? I remember more than 10 years ago when MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) started and at that time, I thought this is probably because MIT is well funded and they can afford to put content up for free. Now we are here, 10 years later and there is an abundance of free college courses - what are the incentives for colleges to do this?

As someone who scrobbles everything I listen to, I love last.fm
There's a lot of other active scrobblers and music communities who use their last.fm profiles to compare their music tastes. Developers have made their own scrobbling extensions for youtube and soundcloud, as an example. Other cool projects use last.fm's API to aggregate someone's scrobbles and make cool visual charts. Every online music community I know of uses some form of this data to share what they listen to.
I'm okay with this being mandated for people with DUIs, but the idea of it becoming a standard feature is disheartening. It's bad enough that internet connectivity is trending towards becoming mandatory. To also mandate that a person surrender biometric data as a requirement for ignition is beyond the pale.
This! Totally correct. Check out the a mount of coal the UK is using for energy generation right now: https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk - tiny amounts and that will only get smaller.

I'm sure it bothered him, too. Keep in mind that the goals of university courses are not just to learn the material but to learn how to learn something. I know it bothers faculty members when they barely feel ahead, but at the same time -- teaching well is as much about understanding pedagogy as it is about understanding the content. And there's a lot of computer-science specific teaching techniques that would transfer to this course.

In an intro course, you seldom get into the super advanced parts of that topic. He's still a very distinguished CS instructor, and even if a student were to ask some question about, say, a CSS cascade question, he'd be more than capable of looking up the answer and explaining things, even if he doesn't know something on the spot.

I'll add that when live coding, you need to generally be more than just comfortable explaining a topic -- even if you understand say, using jQuery callbacks with AJAX requests, you'd probably avoid teaching it live until you know how to recover from errors in reasonable ways or exactly where in the docs you need to look. It's not that you couldn't figure out the solution, but you want to be comfortable debugging something on the order of seconds of to a minute or two so you don't loose lecture time.
Somebody gets it!

It makes absolutely no sense to start building nuclear now. Even if you could guarantee 10 year build time at a fixed cost today (which you can't), by the time it is operational solar+storage will be even more economical than it is today. The cost curves are simply too favorable for any private market to favor nuclear over solar currently. Everyone in this thread keeps talking about the technology, but it's purely about the economics. Solar+storage at grid-scale will be cheaper than basically all other forms of power generation within 5 years based on current cost curves. Within 10 years the cost of new solar+battery will be cheaper than the operational cost of nuclear, not even accounting for the billions in construction costs over decades.

If the billions spent on nuclear plants now was instantly diverted to solar, we'd have way more clean energy in the grid on a way shorter timeline. That's the reality today. It's time to stop arguing and stop wasting money. Nuclear is dead.
Oculus and other VR headset. VR as a technology is fascinating and almost Sci-Fi when it came in but people quickly realized that there are still no practical applications for the technology other than mild gaming and entertainment purposes. Companies invested heavily in VR but the ROI is poor till today. VR is mostly a one time experience for people and not something they spend time with everyday.

China also produces more carbon dioxide emissions than the US and Europe combined and it's growing at a faster rate, so I don't think you can say that the Chinese model is offering up a better solution for climate change.
less deaths. I was myself surprised when I learned this, but apparently people fall off while installing solar and wind; combine that with much smaller energy output and you'll get nuclear to be the safest

> When later scientific theory showed that larger tsunamis were not just possible, but inevitable, the plant was not retrofitted to deal with the new reality.

You are saying the process of risk assessment and mitigation was not regularly actualized with new scientific knowledge. How is that possible ? Is there communication issue between different fields ?

For our information, does someone know : As soon as the engineers / executives were informed of this new risk, what was their decision at the time ? (Maybe this was asked during a court hearing)

I would like to see a version for those of us that structure our documents.

What is this structure you speak of?

Most people assume HTML has a 'head' and a 'body'. The head has script and tag things in it, the body is just free-form open-fire zone of content.

But there is more to it than this.

The body should have some structure to it. That means a 'header', a 'main' and a 'footer'. In the 'header' you are going to want a 'nav' and the same for the 'footer', you are going to want a 'nav'. Even if the links are to your social media sites there is still something to go in the respective areas.

Then when it comes to your 'main' content, if you believe in structure, you are wanting to have 'article' or 'section' with a possible 'aside' or two.

Then there are images. Images don't have to be in random 'div' elements. They should be in 'figure' or 'picture' elements.

Anyone who is not writing HTML this way, using the structural elements and structuring their document might as well just be writing in .txt format or posting jpgs of their pages to the internet. You have got to be organised. Ignorance of the HTML elements is not helpful, knowing them is. They shape how you think and how you organise your code.

A default stylesheet for people that write this way - structured - could have many useful touches. So CSS grid for the 'header'/'main'/'footer' could include the best way to ensure a sticky footer with the row definitions and align-self: end for the footer bit.

Images in picture/figure elements could be set to be done properly, if in a containing 'figure' then set to 100% width. If the main has a 'grid' setup then you could easily have well structured HTML show neatly with anything 'not structured' evident because it wouldn't be fitting in the boxes.

Document outline is important and a basic stylesheet needs to do badly at styling things that are not going to outline well. So the headings styles should only apply to headings that are in 'article', 'section' or 'aside' blocks.

There is also a small matter of pixels. When was the last time a pixel meant anything? 2007? Nowadays pixels are virtual. So it really has to be em/rems and viewer units all the way. The pixel is outmoded.

For your forms you want to think differently and more structured. So 'form' needs to be 'display: grid' and then your labels be column 1 with inputs on column 2. Then have a css variable in the responsive media query to set the inputs to column 1 if on mobile. Done this way you can get rid of the hacky margins and paddings on the buttons and just use 'grid gap'.

This means forms can then be a straight list of label/input pairs in well organised structured code that looks fantastic and is fully mobile out the box.

As it is the stylesheet is a good idea but it does not really bring any benefits to structured documents in the post-pixel world where CSS grid does all the heavy lifting of simple layout tasks.

Building name recognition and improving their brand. I think in the last ten years, colleges have seen that MOOCS don't reduce the demand for the traditional college experience, and have realized that creating their own MOOCS is actually an effective to create a new pipeline of potential students.
Primarily advertising and positioning themselves as merit-worthy schools in a specific field. It also gives the schools a way to sell more materials. Plus, it's a way that professors under the harsh 'publish or perish' regime can constantly publish visible content and keep their name out there. Beyond that, most people who take a free MOOC actually want the certification it leads to - and they're more likely to enroll at a school they've already become familiar with.

As an example, Tales by Toxlab (https://old.reddit.com/r/TalesByToxlab) is a subreddit of personal stories by a single person ... who died in 2016. By Reddit's rules, anybody could claim that sub for any purpose.
