The measurement units need the viewer units and auto added. I also think 'em' is useful in the grid context.

I am not sure on how best the different ways of defining a grid should best be told to a learning audience, which is everyone except Rachel Andrews. There are quite a few choices and sometimes too much choice is overwhelming.

I think that normal grid template columns with explicit rows is a good way to start. Then all of the other variants need to be tied in to use cases after one gets stuck.

One way this could be done is with a tutorial on CSS grid that uses CSS grid rather than older layout methods. Solving common problems in responsive design or implementing a footer that sticks to the bottom of the page could all be done in the context of the tutorial.

For instance, grid layout could be used for the pros/cons of the different measurement units, so rather than placeholder copy in codepens the examples could be practically 'recursive'.

Examples only get you so far and tend to drop you off in the deep end, if a page was a fully worked example then it could be a really useful reference for when things get tricky.

A lot of the audience for CSS grid already have stuff done with a framework, e.g. the Bootstrap used here, so a worked example could be doubly useful. Some of the extra markup on Bootstrap doesn't help with CSS Grid and there are little workarounds like 'display: contents' to surface the contents of a container block to a grid.

They shouldn’t behave any differently should they? There’s a single language spec.
They shouldn’t because they are a private company that reached public utility level, and public utilities should be neutral

i think it could make sense if you have s blowout (or other catastrophic failure) on one tire, but you’re reluctant to replace the whole set.

So say two Toyota’s with oem Michelins, one is replacing a whole set due to wear, the other needs one replacement of otherwise healthy tires. Replacing a set of 4 is ~500. Re-vulcanizing tread on one (from the worn out tread set)might be less than buying a pair of new ones or a set of new ones (some dealers will not sell you a single tire)

Very worried on the embedded side, we spent a full year migrating off of sisense embedded onto Looker embedded and literally launched two days ago. Embedded on any BI platform already seems like a red-headed stepchild with a little love, but not too much, being put into it in fits and starts. It could be so useful to so many companies, but the platform costs puts it outside most of their reach, so it ends up just hanging out. The thought of moving again makes me ill, not just for the herculean dev effort, but the fact that Looker really does have one of the only really useful embedded offerings. No other BI tool could compare.

This is what you call a PR thing by Government. Why?
* 2019 - 2026 - That's after (5+2) years which means it makes it easy for this current Government to pitch it before next election.

* Everyone knows Uber and Ola don't own their fleet so who'll be accountable?

* In Bangalore, Ola was banned for a month or so for a policy violation, only to be revoked just in 24 hours citing Public / Traffic / Driver's livelihood.

* Uber and Ola drivers in cities like Bangalore are currently not even getting time for their food (lunch) and for them to sit aside and recharge the car seems another big 'would they ?'

* Any news on Public Policy reg. Internet companies hit front page.

Why not the government make better Public transport system? Why don't they increase the frequency of Government Bus ? Why don't they electrify Public transport?

None of these would hail the Government as Elon Musk ish visionary other than this one.
I was trying to get actix-web working on arm (hosting a small rust API on a raspberry pi seemed exciting enough to get me rolling). However, compiling it was slightly too much resource-intensive and building ARM docker images on a Macbook Pro was not straightforward (at least not with a "scratch" base).

I was a bit disappointed because I really wanted to use rust as a small-footprint app server :(

I don't use jQuery much these days, but you can absolutely write quality jQuery code that is well structured and architected. It doesn't need to devolve into spaghetti code. It doesn't have guard rails like some frameworks might, and it's base examples don't really promote non-spaghetti code, but it's not that difficult for experienced JS devs to write good, high-quality jQuery code.
Haskell obviates the need to do deep manipulations in an ad hoc 'ugly' way usually via lenses. Personally, i think most imperative languages are sufficiently less sophisticated than a state monad plus lens thay it is substantially more difficult to use them.

> But I also remember Haskell seemingly forcing you to push all your imperative code up to the surface layer of your otherwise pure program

I have no idea what you're talking about. You seem to be confusing effectful code with imperative code. Haskell's do notation -- which lets you write with an imperative syntax -- can appear anywhere, including pure code. On its own imperative code does not necessarily mean effectful code and mutation does not require us to give up on purity. Moreover, if you do want machine level mutation for performance reasons or because an algorithm is more easily expressed in that way, you can always drop into the (again pure) ST monad.

Basically, I think you are criticizing haskell from a place of ignorance.

Frameworks like immutable.js are not comparable to haskell. These are immutable data structure libraries built for languages where immutable data is an afterthought at best, if its even considered at all. Obviously these are going to be clunkier to use. Haskell is not that though.

Well, it seems to me that you don't get it. In the city where I live, car traffic is not especially impractical, and I drive from time to time. But if I have the chance to go somewhere by subway, I prefer that, since I can read or do seomthing else in the meantime. If I can walk, this is even better.

For longer travels, a train is always better than a car for me: I can read, watch a movie, study. The time of arrival is known in advance unless there are delays and I can just relax.

You seem to assume that everyone prefers to be in a car, but this is just not the case
That sounds very unlikely to me
Brilliant! Google are shutting down the Trips app on August 5th, right in the middle of the heaviest summer travel season.

For those using it heavily, one could hardly pick a more inconvenient date. Sometime in October or November, between the summer and holiday/new year travel surges would be more appropriate.

But, obviously less convenient for Google.

Google are becoming like their own version of Murphy's Law:

The app you rely on will be shut down at a random time, and at the most inconvenient possible time.

I imagine many will be using the Vesa mount in this market, so if they did what you recommend, then I imagine people would have been much more upset that they are paying for a 1K stand they will never use, which would have been even worse. From a PR perspective people might not have made that connection right away, but shortly after the event still would have been horrible reaction, since its one thing it itemized its another thing to charge 1K more for no extra value. Now what they should do is the same thing they do with iMac, is sell a version with the stand for 6K and one with vesa for 5200. Problem solved, no PR issue. The reason they didnt presumably is they have no idea how many want vesa vs not vesa so they may end up with a lot of unused inventory or not enough of one. And of course makes logistics for making and selling harder, etc, but I think had they known the reaction they may have considered it. They will probably ride it out but if it continues they will simply switch to that iMac method of selling it.

You can buy a car without crushing credit. Gas and insurance aren't that expensive in America. Cities can remain walkable and drivable at the same time (see: Chicago). And electric vehicles are improving on environmental concerns at a fantastic rate.

...I had to look up Tucker Carlson to discover if this was satire or not.
Yes no ones debating that. Particularly in India with their long history of gov intervening in every sort of business.

But those same people who call for this type of policy were already outraged at the idea of surge pricing and the service being more exclusive to the middle class and wealthy. I wouldn’t be surprised if this amplifies that. Not only for riders but also for the poor drivers who get excluded because they can’t afford a new electric car.

Of course this policy is a bit of a gamble that those 4dr electric cars will be feasible and economical for your average Uber driver to own. It’s possible costs will be similar in 5yrs and won’t add too much expenses which will roll down hill.
The article is vague in the topology. No boundary or also infinite?
We have the same issue at my workplace. Legal won't let us near anything AGPL in our projects for those reasons.
Seems crazy to me. Most taxi and uber/gypsy cab drivers run hybrid Priuses because they are the most cost effective and economical vehicles for this purpose in stop and go traffic. Insisting on EV's when charging tech is so inefficient and scarce seems hugely problematic for the foreseeable future. Seems a lousy investment for anyone wanting to make money providing a driving service through one of the mobile platform middlemen.
The way to handle IE 11 is to degrade gracefully.

IE11 is not a HTML5 browser, it is supported for legacy applications and Microsoft want people to use Edge.

Hence IE11 is never going to get grid. Ever.

So degraded means that you develop in your normal webkit/Firefox way and just change 'display: grid' to 'display: block' when you have it looking good in your dev browser. Then you look at how bad it is.

IE 11 does not need responsive so you just have to get it to be merely presentable and usable, not pixel perfect.

Since a lot of Googlers read HN, a question for you: How do you all feel about Google's Launch 'n Kill culture?

I did use Trips for travel once and liked it, but hesitated to get invested in it lest it dies one day (today). I approach most new Google products with the same trepidation. On the other hand, I like Google's start-uppy environment and desire to experiment with anything because it could lead to great products like Gmail.

My question is about that circular dependency of a Google product only lasting if it gets popular and a product not getting popular because we think it won't last. If launching is just for annual reviews, and you don't care about the result, I get that but am just curious if any Googlers think the Google Product Stigma needs fixing.

Answer as throwaway if needed.

This applies to so many situations, could be a great advice for many product creators! Saving this one

They are ending Trips because the functionality has been rolled into Google Travel. You can access your trips at https://google.com/travel.
Because the wheel and tire would both be constructed out of fiberglass webbing, it seems like this could potentially reduce weight.

But whether it provides enough durability, traction, and a smooth riding experience is unclear. I'm rooting for them. Michelin definitely aren't crackpots.
I like tripit. You forward emails to it so you don't have to give it access to your inbox. Their app is a bit janky, and the website more so, but I've found it really useful.
They said all along that the Mac Pro would be for users that the iMac Pro isn't powerful enough. Since the iMac Pro maxes out pretty high, a 3K base Mac Pro would make absolutely not sense as thats not even iMac Pro entry pricing but rather typical pricing for a consumer iMac.

I think it might actually be more unique for western philosophy/religion to be building a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end - a lot of other ancient cultures seemed to see things as a cycle - for instance, we see in the Mayans that they saw the world as a series of cycles. It makes sense in early traditions to not have a beginning and end - if there's no track of "progress" in a historical fashion, it would be hard to visualize any sort of long lasting change in the cycle.
What of Indian philosophy can you cite regarding this? From what I gather, it's seen as cyclic.

I have seen the 'without AC Texas is not habitable' (or a weaker version 'large cities cannot exist in Texas without AC') sentiment, which is somehow related to what you are talking about, many times on this website. It absolutely boggles my mind. The climate of some of the most densely populated places in Asia are similar to Texas. Those places are densely populated before AC became a thing, and even now there are plenty of people who cannot afford AC.
A stars position can't be defined as being south of somewhere. South exists as a logical construct of our magnetic poles. Once you lose that you have no relative measure to work with. The same is possibly true of time.
Looker is a pretty interesting tool that essentially solves the SQL manageability problem. SQL is really hard to reuse but LookML data models are easily reused (and are versioned in git which is really nice since Business Analysts typically aren't familiar with version control). Integrating LookML-style data modeling into BigQuery could be interesting...
I’m talking about the population weighted density of the metro areas, not just the cities. Most people in the Bay Area don’t live in San Francisco (just like most people in “Paris” don’t live in the city itself). So you’ll never move the needle on transit usage if you’re just limited to the city itself. The arithmetic density of the Bay Area is 800 people per square mile. That’s not a very useful measure because that is dragged down by lots of sparsely populated areas where few people live. 12,000 is the population weighted density (basically, the density of the areas where most people actually live). Paris and Barcelona are 3-4 times that.
> I don't have to wear that kind of outfit very often and the temperatures here rarely reach that high luckily.

I usually grin and bear it but I know plenty of older people who don't tolerate heat well. Men especially seem to suffer since they run hotter and they're not allowed to wear skirts and sleeveless shirts to work (or, if they are allowed, it's still not quite culturally acceptable enough yet...). A lot of "professional" workplaces don't even allow men to wear short sleeves, and they definitely don't allow shorts.

On bikes? Bhahahaha.. I don't think so.

On the other hand, I've had good success with driving a car like I ride a bike here in less rule-abiding places to fit in.

Rule-following seems to be a function of the sensibility of the rules. When the rules don't work for you you stop adhering to them, and the rules for bicycles often don't make sense in a car-centric world.

The science direct article content was excellent for new builds. Up until the early 70s, when draining Florida was still a thing, before depletion concerns, some neighboring homes had an air conditioning mode routing pumped shallow aquifer ground water through the air handler for cooling, and dumping the warmed water. I wonder if a heat exchanger to a deeper aquifer is a practical alternative.
Thanks for reminding me of that. I thought there had been but wasn't sure if it went all along HWY 17. Apparently there was one running till the 40s.[1] But the highway killed it (not mudslides as is often attributed). There were a total of 8 tunnels most of them condemned and dynamited. But apparently the right of way exists and could be rebuilt! So there is hope if people and businesses push hard enough for it.

Commuters would rejoice, SCZ would enjoy revitalization and integration into the Bay Area economy and holidaymakers would enjoy a nice leisurely trip to the beach by train --what a treat that would be!

It was a simple book like this that I had as a boy that got me into drawing.

It taught me to see the simpler shapes that things are composed of — start there and build up.

It also caused me to begin to think about proportion when drawing — so that an animals head is properly proportioned to their body, etc.
