Page layout need not be complicated if you write it yourself in simple imperative code, for your own website.

But parsing the different standards of HTML and deal with invalid HTML in the "appropriate" way must be a lot of work. And implementing CSS to work with existing websites, and making it efficient, must be a PITA.

Much of that complexity was created in the name of discoverability. Given the amount of money that was spent on search and looking at the quality of search results nowadays, I'm not so sure.

In general the idea is to separate structure from style, and to allow developers to specify style more declaratively to enable them to make sites quickly. But I'm not positive that that worthwhile goal implies that the logic should be implemented in the browser. IMO it should be implemented in downloadable library code.
Yeah, I've stumbled upon this project while digging through Github as well. It looks promising but it has yet to be seen if it's as robust (ddos) as it claims to be. None the less, I have some nodes running.
That is correct only to the first order. New construction is always higher priced and luxury. However the new construction in turns pulls someone out of some older place elsewhere which then goes down a little in value and becomes more affordable.

The best time to build affordable housing is 20 years ago, the second best time is now.
This is just a personal difference of philosophy but I feel obliged to make the case that it isn’t self actualization that is desirable necessarily. I make that case because you yourself have made the claim that it is selfish, that your priority should be to make the world a better place first (in so much that can be defined).

What can be grasped, judging from the premise that the world has suffering and pain, and at times that becomes too much to bear for people (in the form of tragedy), but also in the form of malevolence. Tragedy being something that can be strived to overcome because after all life has limitation and constraints - the goal is to live in spite of those constraints in an effort to make things better. Or rather, to live with your aim up rather than degenerate down into malevolence.

It isn’t self actualization that is concerned, it’s about aiming towards something better across many dimensions. Self actualization is a piece of it, but isn’t the whole point. You might say it begins with the self rather that out in the world. Reduce your own propensity for malevolence. Tell yourself the truth and take care of yourself to put yourself together so to speak. When you are capable enough that you have made habits out of this with ease, your capacity grows outward.

Maybe you are taking care of your home more, maybe you feel like you have enough of your cup filled that you can take care of the attention you give to your children or the kind of attention and education. Perhaps you have enough capacity that you might expand your center out into the community and volunteer, start a business, give back to open source, join a community, lead even.

It isn’t necessarily that these are things are good by the nature of emulation (I.e. a good person does these things) it is a matter of what you value. What you value is directly observable by the evidence of your attention to those dimensions of life.

This is huge. The system will find an airport with suitable instrument approach, fly to it (avoiding terrain and weather enroute), configure the plane for landing (flaps, gear, descent rate, etc.), make a landing, stop on the runway and shut down the engine so passengers can exit. Plus it's transmitting to ATC the whole time. Incredible.
This is not looking at the whole picture. The key is, you do not allow your BTC usage to comingle with your real identity. This means you both buy and sell stuff solely with BTC. If you want to buy stuff in the "real world" then you can trade some for Monero or maybe ZCash, and then convert to USD. (Optionally mix it further in other ways..)

BTC is really "psuedoanonymous" because while you can certainly trace my transactions if you know a wallet address, you still have no idea who or where I am as long as I do not reveal that wallet to be connected to any "real world" identity.

This is still not easy though. For example, if you're serious then you must only transmit transactions within Tor, otherwise the originating IP may single you out. Ideally you should use different wallets for each transactions, and only pool them together after they have each been converted to XMR or similar.

There's lots of gotchas but frankly it's a decent system.
It's worth noting that much of this "independence" business is not as serious as outsiders might assume. The Spanish government largely brought this 'independence' movement on themselves by rejecting requests for more sensible forms of increased local self-govenment. To a mildly-sophisticated observer, this just looks like a whole lot of overstated politicking. (This is also why PSOE - the party with the more "sensible" position within the Spanish govenment - is pushing for a soft approach. They realize that this will easily blow over as soon as the government comes to their senses.)

The author’s CSS form project seems interesting:

This seems a fairly narrow view. In my field (oncology), there are many drugs saving lives that are the result of what is engineering in biological systems. Certain immunomodulating antibodies are the most recent example, one of which is earning it's pharma company many billions of dollars a year. Another proven class of drug is conjugating chemotherapy to the back end of an antibody. These drugs have undergone incremental improvement, with the latest versions showing greatly enhanced efficacy. This to me meets the criteria for engineering. Then there are CAR T cells. Researchers in this field actively describe their work as 'immuno-engineering'.

Synbio has been disappointing admittedly, but then engineering an organism is orders of magnitude more difficult than any engineering problem in existence. It is bottlenecked by the lack of a truly useful DNA synthesis platform. One day, when you can dial up a genome and have it into a cell in < 24 hours, and do it in a high throughput fashion, things will be very different. This will happen in under 10 years I think.

Python HTTPX co-maintainer here: AFAIK, Ruby's HTTPX did not inspire Python's HTTPX.

Eg. the name came from a totally unrelated discussion, and research did not yield results about Ruby's counterpart back then [0].

In fact, Python HTTPX started with requests-async [1], which was then spun up into httpcore, which was then renamed to http3, and finally HTTPX.

Still very funny to me that these two projects (Python HTTPX and Ruby HTTPX) have so much in common: HTTP/2 support, API compatibility with the current de-facto HTTP library of the language, etc.

> How much Moorish blood remains in the people of Spain today?

There wasn't much to start with, since the moorish conquest didn't displace the people but "incentivized"(ahem...) people to convert.

> How many conversos did the Inquisitors burn at the stake, generations after their ancestors converted, on the strength of rumormongering by jealous neighbors?

It's hard to know, but I've seen stimates around 3k-5k. Germanic wytchhunts probably had a much higher number of victims. The Inquisition was a pretty bureacratic institution, and it had proper trials with defence lawyers, questioning of witnesses, etc... Inquisitor [Alonso de Salazar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alonso_de_Salazar_Fr%C3%ADas) for example, saved probably thousands of people by setting high standards in Inquisition trials.

Yes, it was VERY BAD and TERRIBLE, I'm not condoning it, but it wasn't the worse that humanity has seen. By far.

Home prices are driven in large part by the ease of obtaining loans.

Interest rates and mortgage policies have a huge effect on housing prices.

Bizarre tax policies like the ability for Americans to write off interest on mortgages also certainly don't help.

There are governments that intervene directly to keep their housing market cool in order to maintain affordable housing stock for their workers. My understanding is the German state tries to do this, for example, in order to maintain its ability to be a relevant industrial exporter.

This Python snippet is the most beautiful code I’ve read. It only went downhill from there.
Not sure how many constitutions around the world have a "Secession Procedure" section, but I suppose not too many. I know UK sort of has one in its "unwritten" constitution. I understand that Spanish government cannot simply ignore the constitution and must do something, I'm sure they could have come up with a better something...

I expect in vast majority of cases of gaining independence from a country with existing constitution it wasn't something along the lines of: "OK, so you want independence? Fine, just wait a bit until we change the constitution". Then again, and sadly, it probably wasn't happening without violence either.

Here's a list of unilateral declarations of independence, some more successful than others:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unilateral_declaration_of_inde...

And let's not forget that a lot of cases of gaining independence happened after someone lost a war. Maybe let's not go there?

Ok, so I watched your talk. You're a good, charismatic speaker. That said, I don't think I understood everything on the first pass. I have my concerns that it's not a solid idea, but I like the direction where it's heading. And so, I have loads of questions, like:

1) Is the % daily value a self-reported quantity? You seem to strongly suggest it is.

2) You described a hope - not unreasonable one - that under your ideal conditions, cheating on self-reporting of % daily values will make no sense and naturally disappear. But what about the conditions in which your system exists in parallel to the current one? How to prevent economic arbitrage? I.e. people misreporting their % daily value estimate to extract goods and services from your system, which then they sell for money in our current system?

3) Is there any form of money backing your system? If not, then how the people who have nothing to give to the society are supported? Wouldn't there be a poverty class in your system too? Does it have better economic mobility?

4) Do you have any more details about algorithms underpinning freeism, and how should they be created?

Did you write an article or a paper about this that goes into more details? I'd love to read it.

Cheers!
Biology has been eating the world for 4 billion years.

MA: "Bio today is where information technology was 50 years ago."

Bio today is still in the pre-transistor era of IT. There is no tool that doubles our capabilities to manipulate molecular processes every 18 months. No, genome sequencing does not count, it is "read only." No, as amazing and as promising as it is, CRISPR does not count. For the present we continue to merely tinker, which is invaluable and necessary to more forward. Maybe once we figure out how to efficiently, reproducibly engineer enzymes, which truly accelerate molecular processes, we can claim that human-directed bio is eating the world. Until then, nature-driven bio is still on top.

One thing I really miss when working on JSON vs XML data are comments. A workaround is to make the comment a valid string in the data, but still not as good as having the ability to comment an arbitrary line.
> You can't express number or array with XML

Numbers can be expressed, they just have to be parsed on the client. For array, child elements are ordered and form an array naturally.
While not really JSON, HyperScript[1] is much easier to grok than XML to me. It allows you to define layouts really naturally using standard JS objects. Mithril[2] specifically implements it really well.

> It was anticipated that some manufacturers would use a 6-bit subset of ASCII.

Not only anticipated but quite common on 36-bit machines where you could put six characters in a word. In those days “byte” meant a contiguous string of bits so a byte pointer could point to one, two, ... 63 bits in some architectures so SIXBIT characters were not at all inconvenient

> You might want to simulate bold type by sending CR and retyping part (or all) of a line.

Some video displays (“glass teletypes” — these took character data and were not pixel addressable) supported this feature. Printers pretty much all did — tolerances were not great so overprints were always darker. Backspace (^H) was used for this too. This is one reason why backspace and delete have been different characters to me.

Note that the 0xFF value for delete goes back to paper tape: it punched out all the holes in a column so could overwrite any other character. Yes, you deleted by doing backspace delete.
rules_foreign_cc appears to be something different: building projects with other build systems as part of a bazel build. The README does not talk about using prebuilt system libraries at all.

Additionally, adding lots of additional customization on top of the build system itself defeats the purpose of using a popular system in the first place.
> find enough voters that would take a X% haircut

Or enact laws that don't have a negative effect on most voters - e.g. block non-resident ownership like in NZ and give owner-occupiers the same tax breaks as landlords.

I would gladly see the value of my house drop by 60%, if it meant that all the bigger/nicer houses in the area also dropped by 60%.

For most homeowners, the absolute value of their house is broadly irrelevant. What matters most is the difference between their current house and the next one they want to move to.

People looking to stay put for the foreseeable future are unaffected by changes in house prices.

Empty nest downshifters benefit from prices remaining high and rising, as do flippers, landlords, and those with a very high LTV who wish to move.

People looking to move to a bigger/better house would benefit (e.g. renters saving up to buy, a young family currently outgrowing the house that was perfect when the parents were just a couple).
I like the concept behind this but I think the implementation is flawed as it binds the actions to specific providers. For example - repo.new only creates repos on GitHub, playlist.new only creates playlists on Spotify and the music.new thing for OVO Sound is just odd, being specific to a custom cover art generator thing.

For me, the better implementation would be where for each "action" there are numerous providers and at a user level you could define which one you want to use. So user A goes to repo.new and gets redirected to GitHub, user B goes to GitLab, user C to Bitbucket and so on. The first time you go to the action you're prompted to select which service you want to use by default and from then on you go straight through.
Yeah the parent keys in on a very dated view of mental health ("it's just a state of mind") that ignores, I don't know, at least 70 years of knowledge. It's an empowering thing for some people, but it's nonetheless wrong, especially when they start pushing it on other people.

I've been on the on-again-off-again rollercoaster and made the switch to vaping myself. As to the withdrawal symptoms coming off cigarettes -- my personal opinion is that the MAOIs in tobacco cigarettes are a huge component in withdrawal effects, and coming off juul/etc. is a lot easier given that. But I'm not shaming by any means, and I'm still using the juul (need to stop yadda yadda), just in case that helps you with fears about quitting. Good luck :).
> Juul jumped on after it was already popular and allegedly marketed it to kids.

this is sorta unfair, imo. their advertising practices may be sketchy but the product itself is quite innovative. even today, I don't know of any vape products on the market that give as good of a user experience in such a small form factor.

TOML is simply the old INI format except with a single concrete specification instead of many adhoc ones. YAML is the "kitchen sink included" of serialization formats, so much so that most only use a small subset of its features. In that case I think TOML is usually the better choice unless you really do need some of the power and complexity offered by YAML.

Starship is a cargo conveyor system. The Starship is comparable in complexity to a 737, and so it’s not unthinkable to have a construction rate of 500/year. If each Starship manages 300 flights per year, each carrying 150 T of cargo, then we are talking a yearly incremental cargo capacity growth of 22 million tonnes to orbit. At this point, the most meaningful constraint on launch capacity might be launch pad construction rate.
