And herein lies the flaw of custom elements: that they don't use a declarative mechanism for exposing their presence in HTML to browsers. Instead, they must be declared by subclassing from built-in element representation classes (using ES6+ class syntax which nobody seems to be using anyway). Now the browser must 1. have JavaScript 2. have JavaScript enabled 3. synchronously execute the subclassing/registration script code text before proceeding with parsing (which browsers do anyway, but at least didn't have to in order to even parse HTML as intended).

Not only that: content of custom elements is treated as fallback content (taken when a particular custom element is not available). However, that content is still subject to HTML parsing and tag omission rules, and tag omission is contextually dependent on the parent element's content model (which a custom element doesn't have since there's no way to register such using the JavaScript API).

There was (?) even the sacked mechanism of "customized built-in elements" which would allow authors to define custom attributes and behaviours for standard HTML elements. Except it doesn't work like that with HTML's enumerated attributes such as `selected` which can have shortforms like `<div selected>` where `selected` is the attribute value not the attribute name, requiring the values of all enumerated attributes be unique among all attributes in a DTD (as in SGML) or at least on a given element.

Sometimes I wonder why the HTML spec authors just had to make every blunder imaginable when there's a very rich theory of formal language and markup languages (eg. SGML and others) dealing exactly with these kind of problems.
How about "If you criticize smartphones as devices fit only for consumption you are probably a very boring person, especially in light of the overwhelming abundance of evidence to the contrary.

To be fair, she has had a steady stream of Tweets going back to 2014 that were pretty unambiguously racist (or if you're of the "you can't be racist against white people" persuasion, some other term that means something like "anti-white"), so you could be forgiven for mistaking the context in this one case.
I think this seems pretty cool. I can see using it for all sorts of projects with minimalist needs, e.g. quick prototyping, interview coding assignments, admin consoles.

"I'll know it when I see it."

I realize that's a bit of a cop-out answer, but I also believe it's the correct one. It really isn't that difficult to figure out whether your product is exploitive.

What goals are you optimizing for? If the answer is: "I want people to spend as much time looking at my product as possible," that's going to lead you to bad places. If, however, you explicitly want to help people do X as efficiently as possible, as be done with it, you're probably on the right track.

If you're making an entertainment product, the calculous is a bit different, but still similar. Are you telling a compelling story that will teach us something about the world, or exercise our minds in new ways?
Unless plastic gets away because there isnt a high enough price per kg to incentivise collection (sadly, by homeless and poor probably).

This could raise price dramatically for post consumer plastic.
This is my engineering org's philosophy as well. New engineers who have a java background tend to have some difficulty getting used to it, but all it takes is a light switch in their head.

For example, the other day there was a PR for creating a simple csv report and they wrote something like

val buffer = new StringBuffer()
buffer.add(header)
buffer.add("\n")
someList.forEach { item =>
val values: List[String] = someTransformation(item)
buffer.add(values.mkString(","))
buffer.add("\n")
}
buffer.toString

which is fine and readable, but it doesn't really seem like having side-effects (even though the scope was contained in the function and there weren't any worries about thread safety) aren't worth it over doing something like

val rows: List[String] = someList.map { item =>
val values: List[String] = someTransformation(item)
values.mkString(",")
}
(header :: rows).mkString("\n") + "\n" // I forgot whether they appended the string with a line break or not...
I got the new rendition of the Nokia 8110 exactly to avoid what you describe. And generally speaking it's working.

Unfortunately KaiOS at this point is so buggy and partially so annoying that it's borderline unusable (for example, after a software udate it can't do umlauts, which is pretty bad for the German language region and there are literally dozens of such bugs and annoyances).

I'm still hanging in there, but the frustration level is so high that I'll probably need to switch phones. An idea, which I loath.

What I will do if there's just no other way I decided not to install any apps (except for the absolute minimum, i.e. banking), let alone games.

Another option would be to switch back to a seriously dumb phone, but the problem there is that I couldn't find any one that offers a 4G hot spot. And that would be a minimum requirement.

In addition to what you describe, and which I think is the most important reason to dislike smartphones, there's the privacy landmine to consider.

> The following tables are taken from the magazine Economist

The Economist is in fact a newspaper.

Edit: do people think this is a snobby comment? The Economist maintains this despite publishing in a medium which looks like a magazine.
I wasn't making normative claims; I was being descriptive.

The politicians object to the fact that so many filters are under the control of one entity, which isn't them.

I'd also point out that there was an Internet prior to Facebook, and if anything, I'd actually call it incrementally less of a cesspool. Without everybody piled into one big room it was way easier to carve out a view of the Internet that wasn't so full of concentrated crap. Lots of people keeping their own bits of the net clean to their standards worked for me.

Now I will be normative. I see the Internet as a reflection and a consequence of society. To say that you're going to, say, eliminate all child porn from the Internet is saying that you're going to eliminate all child porn from the world. I mean that very literally; no metaphor. You can't do the former with anything less than what it would take to do the latter, and there's no reason to believe that's possible.

You can't solve this problem with filters. It doesn't matter whether that truth is a good thing or not, it simply is the truth. Your text casually assumes the filters are effective, and thus offers a seemingly unresolvable dilemma about "why do you want so much child porn on the internet, jerf?" but the filters are not effective. So, given the filters can't do those things, but can do other things, it's unsurprisingly that the politicians take an interest in this.

This is really just the old question "why can't the government solve all the problems with more regulation and more people looking over more shoulders?" translated into digital terms, and the answer is, by the time the government is large enough to do that, the people the government has to be made out of have brought the problems in with them, only now they're where they can hide themselves easily.
TalkTalk Hacker Slapped with Four Year Sentence
Yep, to see how badly things can go when 'scientific' evidence goes unquestioned look at the mess that is stuff like bite pattern analysis which gets presented as scientific but has really bad actual statistics.

Justice can't just be about catching people it has to also weigh the cost of false positives and the effect that the methods have on society.

It's a constant issue with things like TOR, encryption, and alt currencies like BTC. They can do a lot of good for repressed people but they're also inevitably going to be used by people most people would agree are awful people to protect themselves from justice. If you're developing those tools you have to be ok with that just like we have to decide as a people where we're ok with the balance between preventing crime/catching criminals and personal liberty and privacy.

Running X server applications on Windows could be done from the first inception of WSL (shameless plug [0]). You essentially run Xming, then point your environment to the Xming display server prior to running GUI applications. You can even run a web browser like Firefox.

I actually use this for developing bare-bones x86 assembly on qemu: qemu runs as a X server application. In fact, my entire build pipeline is based on Linux tooling but I actually develop on Windows.

The paper's abstract is intriguing, and kind of buries the lead. The waste plastic angle is a bit of a headline-grabbing red herring. The authors claim they can turn straight-chain hydrocarbons into aromatic ring molecules, which I believe traditionally has been very hard. There's nothing special about waste plastic as a source of straight-chain hydrocarbons, they could be obtained from a variety of biomass sources.

Traditionally the only economical source of aromatic molecules has been distillation of petroleum. An economical way to turn biomass-derived simple hydrocarbons into aromatics could be revolutionary, as a path for making fuel as well as a range of other high-value compounds, like phenolic plastic resin.
> considering all sorts of screen sizes has actually improved web design in the most part

Yeah, no. Considering all sorts of screen sizes usually means considering all sorts of mobile screen sizes and depending on your browser width, which oversized, overpadded elements will disappear.

And woe to you if you are using a low DPI desktop screen and do not want to have your browser window maximized, because suddenly your 23" or 27" monitor gets the shitty mobile UI.
Again, observational studies are going to have all kinds of confounding variables - if you're going to make an argument that one of them is important enough to reverse the conclusion, you should have some evidence and certainly more than a just-so-story.
this forum is becoming very low in quality. someone downvoted my information about who said that

The article is vague. It says that the process recovers 100% of energy from plastics they tested. What plastics did they test? Also, there isn't a discussion on energy efficiency of the process.

Aquariums won't go away any time soon, and I prefer them. Most fish don't care or can't tell their in captivity. I've seen a few were their otter exhibits seem questionable, but most have enough space. Very few aquariums have dolphins and whales and these animals really shouldn't be in such small spaces.

You can still see dolphins and whales, it just takes more effort. The ferry between the North and South island in New Zealand is often followed by bottle nose dolphins. There are tour groups in Seattle that take people into the sound to track down Orcas. You can even come across seals sometimes out of the rocks, if you cycle around coastal areas.

The larger wheels on the Wheels bikes (and electric bikes in general) seem like a big pro to me, after some injuries from small cracks in the road while riding a scooter. I think the advantage of Wheels over other electric bikes is the smaller parking footprint.

Given that it's battery-powered, not dock-based (but bikes eventually get returned to hubs to avoid clutter), and cheaper than the scooters, what makes you still prefer scooters?

It's forcing me to go through AMP, that's what I'm saying. And in the case of the parent OG article this is all on, that is currently broken. Thus, forcing me to be stuck on AMP, with no way to bypass it. That's why it needs a setting to disable it entirely. I don't want to have to go through a website to get to the one I wanted. I don't need the AMP middleman.

You are completely not understanding my point of having the OPTION to disable it, so users who don't want to deal with AMP at all (myself, and many others) can have that ability.

By that same argument, murder laws are ineffective because they don't stop serial killers. And traffic laws are ineffective because they didn't stop a big pile up that one time. Earthquake-safe construction is ineffective because it didn't protect against the Big One.

Encrypted Backups on Sia Using Filebase and Arq
I haven't used the restaurant service, but I'm starting to be shocked at how quickly Amazon is going downhill in most of their consumer-facing businesses. I dropped prime last month after maybe 6 years, since the price keeps climbing and the value of the service keeps dropping. I used to make nearly all of my online purchases through them, but between the fakes and poor customer service I couldn't justify the cost of prime anymore.

Although I think this is a good thing, I'd rather not see one company control the entirety of e-commerce. And out of the big tech companies Amazon is the easiest to drop (excluding AWS, strictly consumer services). I'm still not Google-free, but switching email and search was much more difficult than leaving Amazon.

What do you think about national parks? I've been to a few and .. I dunno. I find it weird we pay to get into a federal park. I feel like the money exchange encourages them to advertise passes, and draws in more people. These parks are often overcrowded with so many people filling up parking lots to see nature.

When you start building paths and roads and hiring rangers, you do make it safer for people to see these great areas, but you also put a system in place that's makes it not quite what it was.
Punctuated equilibrium is an optimistic worldview of policy change. AKA "first a little, then a lot". Meaning big sweeping changes after long periods of apparent inaction.

I've never quite understood how it works with evolution, a la Stephen Jay Gould.

But with politics, it's basically memetics and attention economy. First, correctly identify the problem. Second, divine some useful plan of action. Third, crisis triggers massive response. All done in the opposition to the ever present status quo. And there's A LOT of incrementalism (experimentation).

Oregon just adopted (joined) California's carbon strategy. It's basically a complete retool of the Oregon economy. If that goes well, I expect all the other western states will rapidly join in.

FWIW, I try to study policy work, after my own efforts led to very modest results. People I know have been far more successful (marriage equality, marijuana, human trafficking, family leave, and much else).

I think it's a bit more subtle than this. Taking ensemble averages is itself a gesture of throwing information away, so yes, you do now have classical uncertainty that now may be represented by a density matrix. I think what I take issue with is "to describe the system." The master equations are deep down, kalman filters. They take some inputs and through bayes rule produce their best estimate of what state the system is in. Given perfect information, in this situation, they'll produce, somewhat miraculously, a complete description of the state of the system. If you had a person that was being bombarded by soccer balls from random directions you wouldn't say that an average of their muscle movements described the human-soccerball system. You'd wind up with something not particularly informative. Yes, you do need to take averages at some point... but you might want to average over a solid angle of impinging soccer balls... then you get somewhat deterministic, informative behavior.

I want to get across that this experiment is in some sense probing the way a quantum system processes quantum fluctuations. An ensemble average of traces therefore throws away/averages out the very thing that the system is responding to.

Sure, but I think it's also worth acknowledging that suspects get identified all the time on the basis of circumstantial evidence far flimsier than DNA traces. The "burden of proof" needed for the police to investigate someone as a suspect is extremely low, for good reasons.

I feel like we got a “true successor to HyperCard” 20 years ago, in the form of Lotus Notes. It was essentially “HyperCard decks shareable via email, with each deck backed by its own automatically-allocated Firebase-like document DB co-hosted on the author’s email server.”

(And, further, each email client had its own client cert, which it used for 1. code-signing decks it had authored, and 2. signing API requests to the DB server when the deck makes them. So every deck, and every request, would always have a “verified” email address associated with it.)

Essentially, it was the set of functionality provided by Google Sheets + Google Forms (and a bit more), without any web stuff being involved.

Obviously, it became a cesspit of badly-made, overly-interlinked Intranet apps, but this was more to do with the target market of non-IT enterprises—it was no different than what such organizations did with Excel.

I’d really love to see what a system very much similar to Lotus Notes, given a fresh coat of paint, and targeted to consumers, would be used for today. An app anyone could open up and make a little DB-backed interactive experience, then either push it to an in-app inbox of their friends [where it could then be re-shared further, virally] or onto a cloud service others could browse within the app.

They did explain and so does the article:

From the article:

>'2. The Truest Capture
It is sonic fidelity, first and foremost, that defines the importance of masters. “A master is the truest capture of a piece of recorded music,” said Adam Block, the former president of Legacy Recordings, Sony Music Entertainment’s catalog arm. “Sonically, masters can be stunning in their capturing of an event in time. Every copy thereafter is a sonic step away.”'

There is no recording with fidelity greater than the master tapes. It is the canonical "lossless" audio source. To state that the loss of a retail outlet that sold consumer products is somehow greater than the loss of 175K original audio recording from which all retail products were generated from is truly bizarre. I didn't take the OP's tone aggressive just one of astonishment.
