I do not have Aphantasia. The other day I was reading a problem book and after I would read the problem, I would look up (looking up makes it easier to think I guess?) and visualize the problem and work it while looking at it. You don’t have to close your eyes or anything, you can still see it fine.

I guess it feels like being able to project holograms internally.
Interestingly, the linked page doesn't allow comments :-)

But, even if you were wrong or did a mistake, many mean comments are just that... mean.
I wholeheartedly agree with all the points that you have made here.

> That said, if the only part of Bootstrap you're using is the grid and you don't need the UI toolkit, then browsers have got you covered these days - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Grid_La....

What I meant by overuse is this. A lot of people I know, use bootstrap for literally everything. Even if it is just a 2 page website with a block of text and image and a form the first instinct is to drop in the entirety of bootstrap and just go on the way. Do you really need so much of css, hundreds of unused classes just because you wanted a grid, even when you can probably use flex and a lot of native css stuff.

My target for this post was people who use css frameworks are a UI standardising tool rather than a UI styling tool.
When I learnt how fork() and select() worked, I just felt in love with Unix. The Win32 API was so ad-hoc and unnatural in direct comparison.
I believe there will be of more interest now for two main reasons:

- Ubiquitous frictionless headphones with built in mics like the AirPods.

- More demand and access to remote working where people are alone at home.
It's actually a little ironic who introduced the idea of tax withholding. It was Milton Friedman and little did he know that federal tax withholding would allow the government to grow larger than ever imagined.
I didn't for a good 6 years. I did the same job at 2 different companies and I guess I stayed out of a combination of fear and security. It can be hard to leave if you don't have the courage and if you don't believe in yourself.
That's built off of Chromium right? Ultimately, that is still part of the Google ecosystem.
Doing that in absence of all other changes would likely have a highly positive outcome in the medium/long term (for tax reform at least).

You're right in that, your neighbours likely won't do the same thing... But you loose nothing by turning the AP power down to a level that covers the necessary area...

In a sense, it's lose-lose, but you can choose the higher ground...

All that said - if you have multiple APs, then you absolutely want to tune the power levels, or you're only making yourself a looser!

(for an extreme version the other way round: for a long time a UK copyright troll called Football DataCo claimed copyright of lists of UK football scores and demanded license fees - even where publishers actually obtained the scores from sending their own journalists to grounds. This was eventually overruled by the European Court of Justice, so it might be back again in future...)

My daughter signed up on an ISA with Kenzie Academy (it's a digital marketing program in Indianapolis). The terms were the school gets a percentage of her earnings over $X and under $Y for two years. If she doesn't make $X, then nothing paid. Contrast that against a $20-$30k in student debt...

Some of the ISAs being done by colleges just look like dressed up student loans in comparison.
Find better forums then. The few (like 10) I still visit are perfectly fine.

> Quite literally they were PDF scans of homework, a PDF syllabus, instructions on what to do (what chapters to read, when to submit stuff etc.) and power point slides. That was it. If you were lucky, you got video taped lectures from in-person classes.

If it's good enough for in-class, why is this approach insufficient for online? I actually prefer this exact setup when taking college classes online. I can rewatch portions of the lectures if necessary, and there's not a bunch of people asking disruptive questions.

> There is a lot of potential with interactive media using a computer that never gets applied to these online courses because of the technical limitations of teachers and related support staff

I don't feel much of these types of things have been superior to books.
And how do I use that when I want to interactively convert org-mode to html in javascript? Like countless pure-javascript markdown libraries allow me to do?

not to mention the security hazards of running emacs with any user input from a website.

It should be possible to achieve the same with mmap() and MAP_PRIVATE
My point was to move away from class based styling as much as possible.

CSS classes like "hover:bg-blue-dark" clutter the markup and if you have generated or user provided text in your website, things start to look out of place very soon.

That being said, tailwindcss seems to be a really great project for people who are building a website quickly and without major changes in structure.
By cutting the ability to deduct SALT they made tens of millions of people who would have otherwise itemized do a simple 1040. While not a postcard it did greatly simplify taxes for many people.

That said, most of those people are still going to see it as a travesty because they had to pay a little more (god forbid people rich enough to have thousands of dollars of SALT pay taxes on the income used to pay that SALT).
I am a bit confused here. If I am in a dark room and I close my eyes, all I see is black. I cannot, however hard I try, visualize the beach in my field of "vision" in front of me. However, if I relax I can picture the beach and the emerald water and white caps and the pier going out into it. But those images are ... further back in my head, not in front of my eyes.

Mostly that Emacs only exports to HTML without any context of the content, in a blog you'd like to extract the metadata which org-mode doesn't, it just exports the whole buffer as HTML. I've been thinking about writing a blogging engine in pure Emacs Lisp, but I'm not sure if I'm that crazy yet :)

In case any Aphantasia researchers read this (or someone with more time and energy to badger Aphantasia researchers about-this until they actually pay attention to this-than me):

Can you please, for crying out loud, investigate this anecdotal report of Aphantasia attenuation following vision therapy for Amblyopia, Strabismus & Stereo-Blindness in a 70 year old:

http://www.strabismusworld.com/practical/interview-how-bill-...

To quote the relevant interview section:

"MICHAEL: On April 9th, 2015, you reported another new and delightful phenomenon had occurred in your vision. This might give us a clue as to what happened in your brain.

BILL: Because of the congenital amblyopia and suppression of the bad eye, my brain developed abnormally. I was never able to visualize arithmetic problems or to spell words in my head but if I wrote them down on paper, I was an ace at it. Fortunately, my school didn’t conduct spelling bees or I would have been awarded the dunce cap.

Recently, the problems and words started appearing in my head just as though they are written on paper. I can spell a word simply by reading off the letters that I see in my mind’s eye. I think that when my lazy eye turned on fifteen months ago, the now unsuppressed new image in the visual cortex stimulated my brain’s neural plasticity to begin creating new neural passageways and my new ability to visualize is a product of this. Is this compatible with current theory?"

Anecdotal, sure, but come the hell on, Science should investigate this, we don't have much other clues as to the causes & treatment.
In the UK passing on the right (well left for us of course) is illegal and called undertaking. I know it's not illegal here but it still winds me up!

I think it's actually really quite dangerous to have cars passing you on both sides when you're already going 5 over to "fit in". It'd be much better if like in Europe people pulled out to overtake and back in when done and that lane surfers had a little a patience now and again. A few seconds really does not matter. Especially when you overtake them 5 mins later as they're texting anyway!!
> Approach will be style all basic html elements and just use classes when there's no other way <button class="danger">. I feel latest developments in css (especialy grid, flexbox...) make a lot of thing that where really useful before not needed anymore.

Thats the endgame. Style the html elements rather than introducing classes for every frigging thing. Reserve classes for special purposes.

This article was just an introductory piece. I wanted to show that a majority of what non-tech/non-design people perceive about the website can be achieved in a very small amount of CSS.
Another few possibilities for this which were not mentioned in the article:

* Check that all your APs are broadcasting the same name. No devices I know of will naturally roam to an AP with a different name.

* Check that all your APs are broadcasting identical security features (e.g. WPA1, WPA2, WPA1 or WPA2 .. as well as the encryption methods like TKIP, AES/CCMP, etc). Many devices will check these too, and roam only to matching APs.
Amazon and Microsoft don't have the same history of shutdowns on the consumer side though. They both have product churn but Amazon is ecommerce that has always expanded while Microsoft has been providing Windows and Office for decades.

Google makes way more consumer product launches and then suffers from the reputation of shutting these down. So yes, developers should know the difference between commercial and consumer but unfortunately there's too much historical baggage. Also, while the commercial side could be defended before, the Maps API pricing change was just as bad as a shutdown for many customers.
Easy. Any deduction you don't use is a loophole, legislative compromise of yesteryear or not.

There’s lots of things to reasonably debate about this. This is already an accepted practice for coding boot camps like AppAcademy, which I attended. At the time I couldn’t get a good job and was running out of savings. I was an adult cleaning golf clubs with high school students. Couldn’t get anyone to even look at my resume. AppAcademy’s application was purely merit based, they just wanted to know you could solve problems and think. After the program you pay 15% if your income for the first year, if you could get a job that paid over 50K a year.

I got in. I remember I was telling some millionaire member of the club what I would be doing and he told me that he thought that was illegal and they were ripping me off. I genuinely liked most of the members, but I really wanted to tell that guy some very rude things.

It changed my life. By the next spring I had a great job I loved that was paying me way way more than the golfing club. I had to pay 30% of my first 6 months instead of 15% over the full year, which is tough after taxes. Take home pay was like 45% of my paycheck. But even during that first 6 months I was making way more than I would have otherwise. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Bottom line, I got a chance I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. There’s plenty of ways to take advantage of desperate people. The term could have been longer, the rate higher. It could turn into a type of slavery. But if these things are limited in some way they can be a good thing. Especially if they time out, and are subject to you actually being paid. Then they are better than most other loans, and the people who you owe have interests that are slightly more aligned with yours.

That program has changed a bit since I went through. Also, I think the biggest drawback was I was expecting them to really help me get a job, but it was more throw us all out there and see who sticks. So, probably much less ideal in fields without the same insatiable demand for workers.
> Org-mode looks very similar to markdown. Almost so that I would call it pointlessly different.

Just a minor note on this: Org-mode was created in 2003 (the syntax a bit earlier) and Markdown in 2004, so I think this was a case of parallel evolution, each unaware of the other, not intentional deviation.

Edit: And the use cases were different. Org was designed as a syntax for an outliner, and Markdown was designed as a syntax for prose. Both are plain text and optimized for readability in their pre-processed form, but maybe it's the fact that they are so similar that's remarkable.
Bear in mind, the parent is talking about the page where this article is posted, not the CSS itself or the font.
True. Grid still has a long way to go. Flexbox works as a nice alternative in the meanwhile. However, the semantics of the flex is too confusing and cumbersome.
Yeah, that sticks out like a sore thumb in an otherwise accurate article. Antennas have a certain radiation pattern for transmitting, but there is also improved reception in the directions it radiates strongly in.

With wifi, there is usually little you can do since you probably want a spherical radiation pattern, which prevents you from getting any significant gain over a perfect isotropic radiator, but that's a different story.

The performance is awful, but in return you get the COW memory you mentioned. That's a pretty huge benefit for a lot of programs with huge, seldom-changing memory state at startup. If those programs want to parallelize themselves without duplicating that memory or paying startup time/CPU overhead, fork() is a pretty handy way to achieve that.
To me its almost like I have two separate canvases. One that my eyes render to and an 'offscreen' canvas my mind renders to. I can access both, but they don't overlap.

There is a tremendous amount of work by economists measuring these things, which is why this article is so irritating.

The point that the Dutch were an economic superpower in the 17th century is not off base: they were only country to maintain colonies in North & South America, Africa and Asia.

The point that the Dutch East India Company was probably the first company set up under a system of modern financial capitalism, that is a permanently capitalized enterprise with a professional managerial class, separate from tradable claims on the profits of that enterprise, is also well taken.

But this article is a load of twaddle.

> Wouldn't that make the lower class the only ones that had to file anything at all (for the tax credit

They shouldn't have to do anything more than file a W4 whenever they start a new job or their income statutes changes. That's certainly less burdensome than even just the 1040 form now.

> put temporary financial strain in place when waiting for credit for purchases

What I proposed would be a credit that would be applied to every paycheck, much like the withholding we currently have applied to every paycheck. So the wait for credit wouldn't be ant longer than it currently is before the next payday (assuming they're living from paycheck to paycheck).

> and actually make the IRS more complicated and onerous for most Americans?

Having this credit calculated based on the reported earnings on the W-2 form and filing a W4 is certainly less complex than just filing the 1040 form. Plus, most people wouldn't have to worry come later this month if they haven't had enough withheld from their paychecks in the last year.

> but I think this system would be equally regressive.

If people with less income are getting a credit on every paycheck and they spend less overall compared to people who earn more and get less or no credit on their paychecks, then why do you believe that the proposed system would be equally regressive?
Why not pirate it.
I don't understand what anyone would gain from this. Citizens would be more cash-rich throughout the year, then cash-poor when tax time came. Over the years, people would learn to squirrel away similar amounts to what they're withholding now. Withholdings exist now as a forced savings plan for the poor and a free loan system for the .gov for the upper class.

> My bet is that within the first year of this taxes would be massively reduced.

Making the filing and paying of taxes difficult and painful won't change a person's tax liability, it'll just irritate every citizen until we collectively demand an easier process. If you can't pay, you get penalties and a payment plan. Don't forget that the IRS is a government entity capable of legally charging, suing, etc. with the force of law. Why would having to travel to a payment center reduce someone's tax liability?

I guess I want to know more of the argument, for the sake of argument, because the argument doesn't make sense to me as presented.
Why would the US annex a country if it's easier to install a US-friendly government and set up a number of large contracts for US companies? Overseas territories are a liability and the last thing you want is more citizens who might have their own ideas about how the country should be run.
Not voting for Democrats is not racist. This partisan take is extremely unhelpful.
> The query language can fairly efficiently compute metrics at query time rather than needing everything precomputed

I'm having hard time figuring out how query language might affect exectuion time. Granted, I've never seen borgmon in action, so the first question should probably be: how different its query language is from what Prometheus offers? If it's more on imperative side than declarative one then your point might actually make sense to me as it is.

> You can also downsample (eg. Change scrape interval to 5 mins after a week).

Does it allow different aggregation methods (avg/sum/max/whatever) for different metrics, like Carbon does?
most adblockers work by blocking network requests to ad domains, there is nothing wasm can do here. Regarding a canvas site the difference is purely in performance.
True. But reading lines longer than 90 char is difficult. Probably multi-column text is the way to go.
A public school - but ultimately that makes little difference to me as the consumer.

Furthermore, none of the MOOC providers have cracked the issue of credibility to employers, if I felt an Udacity nanodegree would be taken as seriously as a 'real' masters degree then I'd be willing to pay much more for it.

But when I'm just doing them more for self-fulfillment (as I'm sceptical employers give much credit to Coursera, Udacity etc.) then paying any more than 50 euros doesn't make sense.
Google's Roboto is a very close drop-in replacement for Helvetica. Almost the same metrics, slightly more "condensed"/DIN feel.

You may also consider FreeSans (GNU replacement for Helvetica) and Liberation Sans (which is a metric replacement for Arial, which is an alternative for Helvetica...)

Also, what's wrong with Open Sans?
