YouTube and Google Maps are much slower for me in Firefox versus Chrome. Many times the page basically freezes for half a second, and then suddenly continues. It looks like they intentionally are doing something to make this happen, I can't think of any other site where I've seen this obvious difference.
All mass produced furniture has them. The only way to avoid is to find the last few vendors that build-to-order items like sofas, but then we're talking ultra-premium tier pricing (and are rare).

Even the new flame retardant that they're using to replace the old one is considered dangerous. So there's no end in near sight to this problem. I don't know of a realistic/affordable solution for normal consumers, even with knowledge of the problem.

I second this. I use Pixelmator (Pro) for image manipulation on macOS. I prefer applications which are cross-platform and are "easy to learn, difficult to master" (MS Paint and MS Office come to mind) while still adhering to DE/WM (in macOS case, Aqua) UI. With regards to image manipulation I don't know of any. Perhaps Krita.
Owl. Owl. Nocturnal.

If you keep going, you'll go through nocturnal and wrap back around to lark.

I assume that sleep-wake cycles plot neatly onto a population standard normal distribution. Everyone on the early-riser half of the bell curve is larkish, and everyone on the late-riser half of the bell curve is owlish. As with most things, if you live more than 2 standard deviations from the median, you may sometimes experience problems arising from your deviation from the norm.

Based on studies of people living in an actual cave with no timepieces or natural light sources, there may also be a component for the natural duration of one's cyclical body-clock. I suspect larks cycle faster than the median, and owls cycle slower, but I'm not aware of any supporting evidence for that.

> why should the availability of cheap capital condition whether a tech business is viable or not?

Cost of capital, fundamentally, measures forward-looking risk. (Ideally, unavoidable risk.) A business that would succeed in a stable environment may not in a volatile one.

Set the rate too low and you waste resources. Set the rate too high and you pass on good opportunities. Hence society's interest in measuring this metric accurately.

From a microeconomic perspective, cutting lean when your competitors are buying market share is risky if the next few years will run smoothly. Likewise, burning cash while your competitors build balance sheet is risky if a recession is around the corner.
If TCO is guaranteed at the language level, as in Scheme, then it will always be enabled regardless of compilation settings. Debug builds are no more tolerant of stack space leaks than release builds. The fact that TCO isn't guaranteed is the problem here.

Shouldn't there be a possibility for one class to extend other or to somehow include or merge classes, such that btn = rounded + shadow + p-4? This would allow you to use utility classes as building blocks for semantic ones.

This looks nice, but one question I have regarding licensing is that for the simpler and more "obvious" components, where's line between learning from their demo (when the code isn't locked behind a paywall) and having to purchase a license? Take "Wide Tables"[1] for example; I have built almost the exact same thing myself with Tailwind by learning from an (IIRC official) example before.

If you gave a common health problem chances are your doctor is more than capable of handling it.

If you have a difficult to diagnose problem that’s the time to take control over your health. You have to put in the time to trust but verify your own care.

Same thing with a difficult to debug code problem. It’s typically a function of time.
kinda a late response (sorry) but I run it standalone, setup via ansible. I have ansible scripts that bootstrap everything "below" nomad so it sets up zerotier, then vault, then consul, then dnsmasq (pointing to consul) and then nomad. You could probably run gluster in nomad but given that I give most nomad tasks a gluster directory that feels odd.

The only thing I still need to figure out about this setup is that I currently use a single glusterfs volume for most of my nomad tasks, I would love to have a nomad integration that could provision and mount the gluster volume when I specify a volume for a docker task in nomad.
For which programming language???
This just seems like inline CSS with less verbosity. Where’s the semantic meaning?

I think that there is a balance between blowing all of your money that you earn such that any decrease in salary would be catastrophic and driving a decrepit car, living in a cramped room with an hour+ commute, and not spending a dime more than you have to.

There's several issues here though:

1. For most people symptoms are so minor that they don't go to the hospital at all and don't get counted in the reporting stats. This means that the 18% number is higher than reality. How much higher we don't know.

2. The disease disproportionately affects older people: If you're between 0-50 your chances of dying are ~0.2%. From what I can tell these mortality odds are better than if you have the regular flu.

A similar situation may play out with big tech companies.

I turned skeptical when I read this plus the Upton Sinclair quote. Nothing about Amazon's marketplace or ad business or even fake reviews is even remotely close to the financial system pre-financial crisis. AAFG are not holding the bill for trillions in potential liabilities on highly leveraged positions in complex derivatives. They're operating a market that doesn't involve any credit whatsoever outside of payments. Seems like the author has something of an axe to grind rather than a rational assessment of the risk and problems.

I don't think it's good that this system is the way it is, but caveat emptor seems like a perfectly fine solution. I've become more skeptical about what I buy on Amazon, and I imagine most other consumers have done the same. If Amazon wants more business from me again, they can improve the quality of offerings.
If its engineered as a bioweapon, it is a very terrible design. It kills old people and people with pre-existing health issues. The flu already does that.

I was about to make a site just like you describe, having a static website that uses js to dynamically show and edit some content and have it be fetched and stored at some serverless host like Firebase. I guess AWS has something similar to Firebase, but the complexity of AWS keeps me away from checking it out.

There are two benefits to my approach, which motivated me to do it.

1. No backend code or database. Not even serverless. All the complexity of managing this is gone. Don't have to worry about quotas or paying for this either as it doesn't exist. We just need a static site host that can pull and host from git. Netlify does this.

2. Perfect caching performance, as we build a new static website when we change any data. Nothing is generated at view time. The thought of each user calling a backend for the same data over and over on each page load, when the page hasn't changed gives me pain. With this all the data is just built directly into the static site and the static site host and the browser takes care of doing http caching if it isn't changed.
People living through massive record forest fires in B.C. and Alberta probably won't agree with you.

I use Tachyons, which is also utility-based (and, afaik, an inspiration to Tailwind). The primary improvement is that the amount of CSS you need to write is reduced by 90 % or more. Okay, but now you have to write and repeat all these CSS class names, so what have you gained? Not having to write CSS is more than enough for me, but another important thing is that you get all the information you need in one place to see how something is rendered. You also get that with inline styles, but they are much more verbose (at least compared to Tachyon's short class names), and there are some things that you cannot do with inline styles, but can do with classes. But you no longer have to go back and forth between the stylesheet and wherever you are performing your DOM-rendering to get an understanding of what's happening.

Tachyons has truly taken a lot of the pain of writing web applications away for me. It looks kind of ugly in the beginning, but I can't imagine going back to writing oodles of CSS again. Haven't used Tailwind though.
No. Each EU state enacts their own versions of EU regulation, including variances. This is already the case with multiple food items, video games (Germany), animal products, electrical systems, and furniture standards.

The common market is a trade alliance with some regulatory back-stops. In this case if the UK banned these chemicals and required a safer flame retardant, it would likely be legal elsewhere in the EU anyway because as the article says the currently regulations are too vague on WHAT can be used (so manufacturers use the cheapest).

Obviously none of which matters with Brexit. But historically the UK absolutely could have acted alone, as can other EU countries today.

Let say you are building a document editor web app, or any app for creating content. Instead of simple undo/redo you could leverage git powers for versioning + tagging + branching + collaboration on document content. I needed this kind of functionality on one project, but I haven't yet looked into isomorphic-git to see if it is actually a good fit for such purpose.
I think this comment from the original article sums things up nicely:

"The 1988 regs are a total mess. They work for no one except the chemicals manufacturers and the most slapdash furniture manufacturers. They could be described as either over-regulation or under-regulation. In either case, it's the wrong regulation. But because they have created a certain kind of industry, that industry, with its sunk costs and established interests, wants them to stay as they are. And despite years of handwaving and consultations that go nowhere, governments have obliged."
I had a different experience – Tailwind made CSS a lot more approachable for me.

A big part of Tailwind's value is that it provides a curated, well-documented subset of the most important CSS attributes. The utility classes are consistently and concisely named (unlike many native CSS properties, which grew organically).

You're totally right that it is yet another abstraction, and that can be tiring. Personally I found it to be well-designed and transparent enough to make it worthwhile.
This is why I switched to Firefox years ago and have never looked back. I already have enough low-grade anxiety from trackers and whatnot sucking my data, I can't deal with an entire browser that exists solely to gather data.

The fact that so many of us in the development community, who are particularly sensitive to privacy concerns, unashamedly use Chrome continues to baffle me. I had one guy on Reddit tell me he feels really bad about knowing how little privacy he has using Chrome, but that he continues to use it because the font kerning on Chrome is slightly better.

Single binary is becoming more common even for runtime apps (JVM,.NET).

That probably just depends on whether the system browser that it launches supports wasm, I think it’s passing off the dependency.
FF f'd up when they banned Dissenter extension and with their welcome screen full of google tracking. Not to mention a ton of "metric" requests FF is doing in the background.

As we've learnt, Chrome has a ton of google-specific code built into it(most notably the tracking id on youtube that was exposed few weeks ago) and a ton of background requests.

MS Edge is not that different. Sure it is cleaner Chrome but MS is the big daddy of tracking, just like google. they just call it "telemetry" instead of spying. their edge won't be any different.

Any other web browser out there is essentially derived from chrome. So I put zero trust in any of them. If mozilla would make FF into OS work that others could use to build web browsers off of, like chrome, it would be much better environment because there are no options left. Webkit has been superseded by chrome these days, gecko is slow and outdated(is it even public?) and so on. So the only way to sort of safely use your god damn web browser these days is to filter all the traffic manually(pihole, host file or advanced firewall) and use a ton of adblocking extensions that allow you to spoof referrer header and clean up headers and cookies altogether(google cdn, google captcha, google analytics, goodle dns, google this and google that).... even then google has so much data that just by ip address they have your persona pinpointed to a byte.

If you look at how much external resources the websites pull in these days, most if it has some sort of tracking in it, even if you do not see it directly(mostly cdn stuff).

tl;dr they are all bad. if it is free, you are the product. it's as simple as that. and they will make opting out so impossible that you just give up.

>Almost all those things you hear about are either campaigns of harassment or incitement to violence.

I rarely hear about those. Almost all of the cases that make international news are about police "checking someone's thinking" or arresting someone for posting lyrics or satire.

>How do you feel about US police arresting six year old children for misbehaviour in class?

Sounds exactly like something I'd expect from the US. Over policing is a problem that have over there. I was asking the parent poster about this specific point, because they were disappointed with how the police use their resources. I was curious how they felt about police resources being used to deal with tweets instead of something else. Personally it would annoy the hell out of me if the police weren't doing their jobs actually doing police work, but somehow still found the resources to police mean tweets. Those priorities seem backwards to me.
