In practice I haven't seen USB PD 1.0 in the wild. Most of the non-PD charge standards signal charge rates using varied voltages on the D+/D- lines.

When current manufacturers claim USB-PD they mean PD 2.0 which requires the CC line (Only included in usb-c to usb-c) to signal and set the voltage. When PD 3.0 is included, they usually call it quickcharge 4.0 or PPS.
For readers who are unaware of what q is, it's a language on top of Arthur Whitney's k, made to be accessible to your average human, and mostly for SQL queries.

I don't think Arthur is as passionate about it as he is k, and he barely has anything posted on it.

It's great in some ways but usually lags behind k for people familiar with array languages.
Mostly I was just curious, although I could see one argument for it. HTML/DOM was meant to display interactive documents, which is far smaller in scope than what browsers are used for today.

A lot of the web today (web applications in particular) are therefore hacks of HTML. I know that the standard has responded to these uses by incorporating more application-level features, but IMO this has become burdensome and bloated.

There are lots of issues coming from the fact that we're attempting to write application-level code on top of a platform that has historically been designed for documents.

You could argue for an alternative to html/DOM - some kind of rendering format that is meant specifically for full-featured applications.
I'd like to hear if anyone has a better solution than ContentID considering the scale, laws, and stakeholders involved.

Everybody likes shitting on it but it's the best solution to the problem.
If you are hung up on evaluating everyone's relative value, then maybe. But I think that goes counter to the advice.
Thanks for that! Just to be clear, what I meant was, "I wouldn't consider 20% as a target to be indicating he thought the stock was going to crash / was a bad value." I had thought of adding that even 10% or 5% would be reasonable, but I didn't really have any good grounds for saying so other than my totally untrained, amateur intuition. So thanks for the supplement. :-)

There have been many projects in the eighties that reserved areas of neighborhoods which dropped most building regulations as you describe them here, including one in Emmen, where I was born. The results are not pretty: garish, impractical, unconnected with the surroundings. Although, perhaps amenable to the first owner, once the buildings are listed for sale, few seem to appreciate the builders unique taste. Furthermore, even though some of the houses are nicely built, many of them are just out of place: a Mediterranean house next to a Scandinavian, followed by a ‘large wooden shed’.

Newer projects have more appeal, where a larger group of families work together to form a connected architectural plan, often themed with energy neutral constraints. Perhaps that could be an option for you as well?

Finally, if you buy a large plot of land (villa style) you can do almost anything you like, especially because you are probably influential and able to convince the local government of your plans.
In the past you had to pay a person to write that fake text. Wait a few more years and you'll see convincing text coming out of some algorithm at the cost of an EC2 instance.

>I believe that wine tastings are primarily for the social value

You have apparently never tasted wine with a sommelier or wine enthusiast, because I can assure you it is 100% about the wine. Socializing is minimal

I might not be understanding what you mean, or I am misinterpreting the paper, or this article is just doing a poor job communicating the research. I don't believe they are assuming or implying that consciousness is required for or detected by this illusion, if that's what you mean.

The authors don't outline what their working definition of consciousness is but it seems to me that the authors are using a higher-order theory of consciousness because they refer to a conscious percept as the end result of some hierarchy of information processing. Would you agree that you consciously perceive all illusions, even if the illusions are caused by some unconscious processes (ie outside conscious domain)?

It makes sense to me that if I were investigating what a conscious percept consists of, I'd take a look at what feeds into it. They say this particular illusion has properties that make it a useful probe which they use to find evidence for WHERE in the flow from sensory representation to conscious percept this unique illusion emerges. It turns out we would not necessarily require consciousness for this illusion (that's not the claim being made), but it's still part of the neural correlates of conscious perception, hence the title of the paper: "Neural correlates of conscious visual perception lie outside the visual system: evidence from the double-drift illusion."

The long integration time in this case really only means that we are unlikely to find emergence in early visual areas, which they confirm with the first experiment that showed an illusory path doesn't share any activation patterns with a matching Gabor path (that has no internal drift) in early visual areas. Then they explored other areas with a whole-brain searchlight analysis and found a shared representation in anterior regions of the brain associated with higher-order processing. That does mean that the representation is stored outside what is usually classified as the visual system, so this evidence suggests the illusion emerges somewhere after the visual system but before the conscious percept.

The thing is, so-called "debate" is a competitive sport with its own weird rules. You are incented to babble a lot because then the opponent has to waste time on countering what you said - since that's what the rules require. It doesn't have to make sense, it still confers an advantage.

Perhaps, but it's never a bad idea to sell high.
The term is overused, yes, but one way it can be understood in wasm's context is that there is now a generic platform/target and we have consensus on it. It's hyped, the inertia is there, so all of it is going to happen. And in this particular case it's a good thing. :) Probably soon we can stop rewriting everything in javascript.
What would you prefer then, Lua, with its 1-based arrays? Python is a mature, universal, versatile, insanely popular dynamic language with a nice syntax. It fits the bill perfectly.
Satoshi got it extremely wrong, to the point that if he had any economic background at all I’d suspect the first wave of crypto currencies to be a sick joke: artificial scarcity (and more generally, inflexible money supply) of the kind engendered by bitcoin and its ilk are the exact embodiment of what money must not be if one is to not artificially crimp the economy’s growth. There’s a very good reason why we came off the so-called Gold Standard (bimetallic standard, actually), and why coming off it heralded the greatest period of economic growth in Western history.

> If you knew about [x], there's nothing surprising about [y]

You are technically correct, but at the same time I do think this way of framing it is selling Gary Bernhardt a little bit short. There is still an uncanny part in knowing all the right things at the right time to predict the future.
Often it's dysfunction; some stake holder or lawyer, etc., having funded the development of some site, observe that one can 'steal' content with copy+paste and freak out, so the front end developers stick this placebo in to shut them up.

There are legitimate use cases; the classic being 'sort a table by clicking on a column heading', where without 'user-select: none;' (or some other mitigation) the column heading will often end up being selected. Often when one creates a site that involves users interacting with text using a traditional pointer device outside of form controls a need for this will appear.

I don’t totally disagree with your criticism of Debord or other French pomo obscurantists. But there is some irony to complain on a coding forum that someone used language in a way that’s hard to appreciate without extensive experience in the field.

On the point of ambiguity in words, while the approach of STEM is to minimize it, in the messy world of liberal arts, ambiguity must be accepted; this is a significant message in postmodern thought, anyway.
J is incredibly readable. For example, here's an (old) implementation of 2048 in it that's fairly small:

> If we took your example and added some flex-specific behaviour, say justify-content:space-around, how could we readily left-align the final items with flexbox here?

I'm trying to think of an example where one would "justify-content:space-around" and want the last line to align left. Curious.

I agree flexbox has limitations but I don't see them in the examples you've provided thus far.

This is not much of an elaboration but the 5+4+4+4 I'm thinking along the lines of changing margin of nth children, or even specifically adjusting the CSS for the fifth child.

When developing front-end, I'm sure you would use the most appropriate tool for the design at hand. Flexbox even with its limitations is sometimes the best choice. I also agree it could use use refinements, but whatever refinements it needs aren't apparent to me in the examples you've described.

This may be a failure of my imagination.

Not every text in a user interface is supposed to be selectable. Can you select the text on your buttons, your tabs, your dropdowns? Of course not, because it doesn't make sense.

If you think it shouldn't be possible to develop user interfaces that rival the desktop inside the browser, then just say so. If you merely believe existing web standards make this possible without "hacks" like "user-select:none", then you are mistaken.

By the way, I'm a "read with selection" guy myself and I find this behavior on paragraphs of text unacceptable. On the other hand, none of the text on that website is worth reading anyway.

There's something I don't get about endogenous money vs. fractional reserve. Namely, the factual claims.

So fractional reserve says that money is created by loans between banks as restricted by the money multiplier and endogenous money says that banks can create unlimited money. [1]

My question is not which of these is true but rather how can this be under dispute? Aren't the workings of banks established by laws and regulations? Can't one just ask the relevant people what are they actually doing?

You wouldn't be able to sue YouTube (but you can sue abusers). Abusing DMCA takedowns allows for civil liability (Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Incorporated). The problem is that nobody has bothered suing YouTube DMCA plunderers, because it could get expensive. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a class, so it's surprising that it hasn't happened yet.
Thanks for your response. You made your point more explicit, but I still think that being afraid of GC due to planning to support C at some point could be premature pessimization. Your milage obviously varies!

Also, yes, thank you for mentioning Parsing with Derivatives and all the other stuff, I really liked the overview you gave of the field.
Because there is value in ditching legacy cruft.
The difference between code blocks and block quotes is that you can nest the latter. On the one hand that makes multi-line syntax even more useful. On the other it would make reading block quotes hard to follow when reading MD in plain text (then again, who still does that these days?)
I mean, I wouldn't really call him a 'hardware person' either. If you consider a hardware person to be someone who does electrical or computer engineering, like designing PCBs or microcontrollers, etc. He comes across to me like a savvy consumer.
Bingo. Money is only a useful medium of exchange if it is stable, and deflationary currencies are inherently volatile.

The problem is that we have always accepted what we see because we've assumed that things are more or less as they've been presented to us, we've mostly blindly accepted the story from the social truthmakers. We've had no reason to question them. This will lead to humanity doing a lot more questioning. I think this very well might lead to some very positive outcomes.

The fact that we're more aware of flat-earthers today, is probably a good thing too. I'm not 100% sure that there are more of them today than before, or if they're just more noticeable. But in either case, we should be very careful to draw too many conclusions when we look around today because we're living in a time of great transition. We're basically in our teenage years of this technology.

Just as you shouldn't judge an adult by who he was at 14, I don't think we should assume we know what the adult internet will look like because we see some acne on it today.
> It's YouTube and mega corporations fucking over and taking country the laws.

In Markdown you can generally produce a single block quote with paragraph breaks by including quoted empty lines:

The one that should stand out to programmers in other languages is using dynamic scope instead of lexical scope for its anonymous functions, even though they were based on Dyalog's dfns which are lexically scoped. There are other more APL-centric issues such as even more questionable use of square brackets than the typical APL.

I work for Dyalog which is a "competitor" (in practice, the APL market share is small enough that any APL doing well helps us all). We have a lot of respect for other APL implementations and frequently use their choices as reference points for our own decisions. GNU is the only exception.

Here's one explanation: I work as an HMI designer for an Automotive OEM. Since we have a fully digital driver display, I designed a feature to address your problem; it displayed a large graphic with a text explanation of what was happening.

Unfortunately, it was killed by our Customer Care team, who were, paradoxically, more concerned about giving the driver/customer negative information that might lead to complaints, buybacks, etc. Needless to say, there are many stories like this, and it shows that even though UX/UI design is the most apparent aspect of a product, it is only as good as the decisions made underneath it.

You can’t diversify radically from your own company and at the same time tell investors it’s the future and it’s going to be trillion dollar business etc. If he really believed that he wouldn’t diversify. Look at Larry Ellison or the Google founders if you want examples of someone who believes financially in their stakes in their own companies.
