Assange did not "decide to confine himself" anywhere. That's like saying that if someone has threatened to beat you up if you leave your house and is waiting outside all the time, then you've "decided to confine yourself to your home".

Anyway, this has all been deliberated upon by international bodies - the UN working group on arbitrary detention has come to the conclusion that Assange was being _detained_ by the UK in the embassy, unfairly.

Now things have changed, with the UK apprehending him. He _is_ a 'political prisoner'. The definition is: "Someone imprisoned because they have opposed or criticized the government responsible for their imprisonment."

Indeed, the US is (mostly) responsible for Assange's imprisonment, and the imprisonment is because of his oppositionary and critical actions towards the US. The fact that Assange is held "by proxy" does not change his status.

(Note that being a political prisoner does not mean you did not do what you're charged with. You may have and you may have not. Also, it doesn't mean you're a good or bad person.)

This is a generous interpretation. I think it's a policy over-correction after not canceling the Chinese New Year parade earlier this month.
Isn't this from the continued steady decline of coal power in the US and not any new policy? The current administration hasn't made good on their policy to boost coal power (imo that failure being a good thing).

What recent policies have been passed that you think should be lauded?
Let's be clear here...

The Internet is not dependent on Cloudflare now, or in the future. While FireFox has made a choice (a polarized one), the end user still has the freedom to completely disable DoH and CloudFlare - or choose whatever other service they'd like to use.

Mozilla has an agreement with Cloudflare. Again, it is in Cloudflare's best interest to not break that agreement. If they do, then we can all have that conversation. But just because they could break the agreement does not mean we should jump to any conclusion that they are currently.

It's odd to me that there are a lot of defenders of the status quo that is DNS. Something that is easy to manipulate, easy to profile and scrape passively on the wire (no need to even ask if nobody knows you're doing it), and is generally (with regard to security models) less secure than DoH.

Could Cloudflare nefariously start NXDOMAINing everything? Sure. So could your current ISP (it's likely they already are or already have). Cloudflare hasn't done that. While I have some reservations on the 3 letter agency involvement, that is my only unfounded reservation at this point. Until someone exposes, factually, that Cloudflare has considered selling users data, is selling users data, is planning on monetizing data collected around DNS, etc. I, personally, feel that Cloudflare is offering up a good service. They do allow APNIC to see DNS query data, but not source IP info (go read their privacy policy I linked in this thread).

The Internet has inherent underpinnings of trust. You have to trust your ISP to not MitM your traffic. You have to trust someone to resolve your DNS without manipulation. You have to trust websites to not sell your data back to Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc. It seems as though DNS data hand waving with regard to Cloudflare is only a fraction of what we should really be concerned about. Do you really want your DNS traffic to continue to be unencrypted? DNS has always been centrally controlled. We have the ease with which we can distribute our DNS queries across multiple providers to not give insight to everything we do all the time. But at the end of the day we have to ask someone where Google is. DNS is the problem, not DoH - at least in my opinion.

You have to trust someone. Cloudflare has done a good job of being a good steward as I see it so far. I'm not saying anyone should trust them blindly or forever by default. But - who do you trust? Who is so free from monetary gain that they should be the single source of truth for all of your DNS queries? Who? I don't see anyone on the playing field that isn't selling something. They're either selling you access to the Internet, or they're selling ads, or they're building up a social graph of you by giving you access to free services.

The Internet is built on trust and that give and take.

You two are not in agreement. This isn’t just as serious as the flu, it’s more serious.

More deadly and more easily transmitted.

There are some nice aspects:

- The classes cover many common use-cases and, in some cases, present a simpler "API" than hand-rolled CSS would

- You can eyeball a HTML fragment and get a good idea of how the pieces fit together, compared to the normal approach of needing to work out what each individual class does, and then how they fit together. It's easy to remember what the Tailwind classes are doing.

- It's dumb, but the ability copy-and-paste entire HTML fragments from one place to another and have the styling "just work" is slightly mind-blowing

- Some CSS attributes work oddly depending on the order in which they are applied, or the order of the composition of classes that both attempt to apply the same attribute, and that problem goes away with Tailwind

There are other advantages, but these were all quite surprising to me, because my expectations of CSS have always been quite low.
Oh, I see what you mean. But I think people do choose to cheap and disposable for things they think they won't need. The rule of thumb for household tools is you go to harbor freight and buy the cheapest thing, and only go higher end if and when it breaks or can't do the job. Similar with electronics that keep changing or furniture if you keep moving.

I myself don't see any value to furniture of better quality than IKEA, since my kids won't want it, and I don't gain any utility of getting something of higher quality.

There's also probably some confluence with people's buying power stagnating forcing them to buy cheaper goods.
In addition to the other commenter, if you become more experience, you could roll your own Grid, Flexbox and some utility (like Tachyons CSS) styles.

Utility CSS allows you to change or customize far more flexible in a fast pace environment than Bootstrap.

If you prefer lighter CSS, Tachyons is another option which I found more easier to read even if I have a long classes.
That's exactly what they're for actually
Like I said in my other comment, because it makes the difference between controlled and uncontrolled.

Eg "the color is wrong because we specified it wrong" and "the color is wrong because the app doesn't respect what we ask it to display" both ends up with the same bug (wrong color), same priority, but not the same severity because the second case is uncontrolled.

Severity is a dev tool, priority is a business tool.
Useberry plugin for Figma is out!
Based on what? Gut feeling?
The overall latency says nothing about the sync precision required. The displays need to be synced and the graphics cards need to have their vsync synchronized between them (usually via dedicated hardware). If the displays are out of sync, you immediately get visible tearing at the seams.

If your parallel renderer divides the image along a grid that does not correspond to display boundaries, you need to gather and composite the partial framebuffers after rendering them. This means that you're now sending frames across the network amd you need to take care that you aren't compositing frames from different timesteps, for example, because the the part of the rendered framebuffer that goes to compositor/display node A arrived in time, but the part going to compositor/display node B somehow didn't.

I would have had to go to a convention/trade show in Paris next week, but luckily it got postponed for two months. So far people are getting more cautious.

Between the two standard criticisms "too little, too late" and "unnecessary panic" there is very little margin, especially in public opinion.

Here in Germany, people are starting to stock up on supplies, which is reasonable unless they completely plunder the supermarkets. Otherwise, it's all wait-and-see over here. Of course it doesn't help that Europe is also in the midst of flu season...
The question should really be: why should the availability of cheap capital condition whether a tech business is viable or not?

That's not to say that coronavirus doesn't pose systemic risks by itself and can have significant effects on consumer behaviour regardless of the VC rumour mill and financial market sentiment; just that these are increasingly irrelevant since bootstrapping, crowdsourcing and lean startup provide better incubation for good tech business ideas than the more capital intensive planning that went on in the dot com boom/bust.

All you need for 4th gen to appeal to regulators is one country starting it and showing success. Indonesia will test it out. Depending on success of failure, other countries will follow suit.

Is this a good opportunity to plug an open source project I've been working on for 5 years that basically solves this problem? https://caddyserver.com will keep your certs renewed for free, automatically, without extra tooling, dependencies, or moving parts. I really hope more sites will use it because this stuff happens.

If you've heard of Caddy but haven't used Caddy 2 yet, we've made some huge improvements with it, and it's capable of managing tens of thousands of certificates at a time. As of next week's beta it can handle certificates with lifetimes as short as a few minutes. It works as a load balancer, in a cluster behind load balancers, and with Docker with its new dynamic config API. There's no technical reasons I know of why sites like TechCrunch can't use it.
What would be considered a significant attention? E.g. I had 20 votes and a few comments, is that a lot?
I think you might be taking this line too seriously. In this piece I don't think the author is trying to lay out a well-thought-out, validated, and rhetorically-correct argument for his point of view -- if he were trying to do that, you'd be totally right and that line would have no place in it.

But in this case I think the article is pretty clearly more stream of consciousness, just what the author believed at the time, legitimate or not -- and even though it's reductive and just genuinely a pretty bad reason, it's also easy to see how his subconscious might be thinking along the lines of "islam? Nah can't do islam, I'm not brown". Our minds generate totally faulty lines of reasoning like that all the time.

(especially if he came into this with a predisposition towards Buddhism, which I wouldn't be surprised about, since Buddhism tends to be viewed as very "cool" to westerners but Islam not as much)

Edit: ok or it was a joke :p

Their argument is that the idea of separating content from presentation was always a lie, and that your JS, CSS, and HTML code is always intertwined. I've found this to be partly true for web apps.

Tailwind is essentially unusable without a build step. You can configure it to make composite classes for common styles (button, card, etc.), but if you buy into their philosophy you'll probably want a component-based design (web components, React, Vue, etc).

It's better than working with CSS manually because you work at a slightly higher level. If it was transformed into a css-like language I would prefer that. As a non-UI expert, I also enjoy having an enumerable limited set of sane choices for most properties.
Actually I find that the HIV epidemic rarely discussed when the press is discussing the current epidemic. US didn't reply crown themselves with glory in handling the HIV situation, iirc more than 4000 people had died before the President Regan started to act anything about it.
How to Avoid Cascading Failures in Distributed Systems
The same comment is at the top of every post related to Tailwind. Read this section in the docs and try it out before judging:

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/utility-first

The core principle is that you wrap up all UI elements into components. Most frontend and backend/template frameworks allow you to do this. You then verbosely apply the Tailwind classnames to perform styling, staying out of custom .css files all together.

We have no idea if it's 20x as deadly as the flu because we have no idea how many asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases are out there where no one sought treatment. The mortality numbers are an extreme case of selection bias.

I find that the verbosity is annoying at first, but it makes it incredibly easy to come back to some old HTML and work out exactly what it's doing, and why. Even with Bootstrap, you need to maintain a mental model of what the classes are doing and how they compose, and each custom class adds more complexity to that mental model. Yes, Tailwind has lots of classes, but each class does one thing, so reasoning about the final composition is incredibly easy.

I mean, if it hits here in a big way something is going to have to happen with this. Whether you're in a hospital for a 2 week quarantine, or laid up in bed for 2 weeks because you're sick -- either way you're going to have 2 weeks where you aren't working.

Beyond that, if it REALLY hits here, you're going to have entire businesses shut down temporarily. I saw a CDC estimate that if it goes pandemic, we should expect 40% - 70% of the population to contract it. Imagine your place of employment, but with half of its employees out sick.

Indeed. Maybe let the year pass in 3, 5 or 10 seconds instead of 1? I could barely keep up reading the text.

.. or maybe it's author's idea to show that we need to scramble very quickly to tackle the climate change crisis, because the point of no return will come very fast?

[0] Game puts this in a shape of natural disasters though.

You really have no idea of the power of a municipal health authority in the US. They can order people confined to their homes, businesses shut down, etc. etc.
Yes, but in the early days oh HIV no one was sure how it was transmitted, a lot of people got infected before scientists understood how it spread.
At least in the US I think you'd have to make it yourself.

I believe that mattresses are somehow exempt in the US? So the futon becomes a weird gray area. You can buy one with the express intent of using it only as a couch, but you put a mattress on it. I'm not 100% sure to be honest.

> My generation of tech workers have simply not known hard times. Many of my college colleagues are obviously not saving and drive $90K Mercedes and live in very nice houses that would stretch tech salaries (Toronto is a bit insane with housing prices right now).

Why should they save and live frugally? Canada is very socialist, their quality of life will be maintained by the government when things go south. The point of being rich is to live like a rock star. If you can already live like a rock star, you can skip the getting rich part.

But let's say they do save money. It's just going to get eaten away by inflation. If they buy property, it's going to get taxed.

You can either live now, or save lots of money and so stuff in old age. Of course, you'll never get to have the time back, and I'd much rather experience life in my 20's and 30's than in my 60's and 70's.

Because the 8% mortality rate is based on resolved cases, and it generally takes people longer to fully recover than it does to die, so it is skewed upwards. A couple of weeks ago, the same mortality figure was near 30%, because most people with the disease who were not going to die hadn't had time to recover yet. Things are still early enough that the 8% figure will continue to go down.

Additionally, it is widely acknowledged that the actual number of cases is undercounted, with the mildest cases less likely to have been tested and included in those numbers, again resulting in overly high numbers.

And finally, it would appear that Wuhan in particular is skewing the numbers higher, as being the site of the outbreak it was caught off guard and has struggled to manage the number of cases. Elsewhere in both China and the world, the death rate is far lower.

The estimate of 8% is unquestionably much too high. Exactly what the mortality rate is will still take more time to discover.
I mean they needed to wait for something big enough to bury it (Corona).
Now's the perfect chance :kappa:

In all honesty though, there is a bunch of evidence in his US court case that basically frees him of all accusations in his british court case, but the judge refuses to accept it. Although the case is about delivering him to the US. So she denies the rightfulnes of the US court system, but wants to deliver a person to this very system???

And then there is a treaty of denying political extradictions. But then the judge said that she does not care for the treaty and only honors the UK Extraction Act, which does not mention any of it.

We've had time to do large population studies and build models to somewhat correct for this. Most of the death rates you're seeing throw around for COVID-19 are just naive number_dead / confirmed cases.
I had that same initial reaction when I first read about Tailwind.

I am now a convert and although it's hard for me to articulate exactly where the magic lies, these are contributing factors:

- You can do the entire thing in HTML quickly, including media queries and pseudo-classes.

- The predefined sizes and other values are granular enough that you can do just about everything with them, but coarse enough that you often get it right in the first shot. In a sense, it's a little like going from drawing a chart on blank paper to grid paper.

- Tailwind intellisense in VSCode shows you the colors you likely need.

Each of these points are tiny and could easily be achieved in another way, but combined they have increased my personal joy in frontend development quite significantly.
