I'm not one of the mods, I'm just a random user, so take what I say with a pinch of salt ...

My advice is always that one extra post at least 36 hours later is probably fine, but even better is to write a blog post and submit that.

And when you write the blog post, your challenge is to think of it from the reader's/user's point of view, not yours. You may be excited about the technology you use, and the clever techniques, but unless I can see immediately that this is something relevant to me, I probably won't read further.

I've clicked on the link you submitted ... I think ... and I look at it and go ... so? I need to find a blog, I need to find an About, I need to spend time figuring out why this might be relevant.

When there's something you want me to do, don't make me work hard to do it. Remove friction, make it easy.

End random thoughts ... good luck.

True. Of course, that may not matter. From her behaviour, the judge appears to understand the outcome the hearing is expected to produce, and as Mr. Murray fears in the O.P, it seems like nothing said in court is going to affect that...
I get that, but these are "green" people who demonstrate at rallies for climate change, etc. Of all the people I would expect to "be the change they want in the world", it would be these, at least according to their FB posts.

I wasn't popular for pointing out the irony when at least a few of them drove to a demonstration against a new refinery.

>Not “almost all” commercial aircraft have autoland capability. It requires specific certifications for the pilot and crew as well as the aircraft itself.

The 737NG, 737 MAX, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787 and every Airbus model have autoland. It's a requirement to be able to use autoland in order to be certified as a pilot for a particular type. Garmin even has a system for newer GA planes so they can autoland nowadays. Autoland is used rarely because its more work for the pilots to enable and they all think they can do a softer landing, but in very low-vis weather conditions its used pretty often.

Microsoft may experience firsthand what can happen when you build your business on competitors platform. I'm exaggerating of course but essentially it may happen. The good news is that MS is probably the only company which can actually maintain its own browser in a case if Google goes completely hostile on them. Then this mythical thing called Chromium may materialize as an independent entity from Google, making different decisions and implementing different core features (which is not true today).
I agree with you. Given the current browser market share it would make sense for Chrome extensions to be more popular than Firefox's without any special-case meddling.
”I was a green crypto reporter approached by the press team for former beauty queen and reality TV contestant Jessica VerSteeg, who wanted to open a cannabis business in California. [...] VerSteeg wanted to use the IOTA protocol, named for its proposed functionality with internet-of-things (IoT) devices, in a coworking space for cannabis startups.”

This project is peak 2017 bullshit. I can imagine the pitch deck: “It’s WeWork but for cannabis startups using IoT on the blockchain promoted by a reality TV star!”
How much data do you think it encompasses? Approaching/surpassing Petabytes?
> They've implemented that, and have size sliders for some of the components.

It seems they've only done it for the ones they are ok with making freely available.

But that still leaves a vast majority of the components (almost all of them) as static images at 1 specific screen size.

They should consider adding screenshots of each size, or a few second gif / video showing how it looks at various breakpoints. Otherwise potential buyers (like myself) have no idea what things look like at each size. I don't mind a premium price but I'm not going to blindly buy it without knowing what the components look like beforehand. What it looks like is the most important thing for a CSS theme.

I think at a certain point you need more than offsets. We once had a forested world, with oil in the ground.

We cut forests, and burned oil. Offsets help revert one of these things. But, we’d need to do more than that to reverse the change.

So the offsets you can buy now are low hanging fruit. Actual carbon sucking costs vastly more than wren’s offsets.

Though still achiveble? Would be about $10,000 usd per person at average european emissions. About $20,000 usd per person at average american emisisons. Includes children.

https://climeworks.shop/?utm_source=CW-Website&utm_medium=ba...

If those costs go down, the costs become realistic. I don’t mean politically realistic, just possible to do.

Fwiw I use both wren and climeworks. And maybe if enough people used wren they might find non-forest offsets that are achievable at low cost. But right now it wouldn’t obviously scale if all did it.

Where are you seeing surprise?
This may be a controversial opinion but I strongly disagree with using bug priority/severity/urgency/impact etc to do work prioritization.

I think there are two separate things about tickets: one is the about technical merit of a ticket: documentation, evidence, reproducer, quick info about context. Basically, a ticket as a tool to gather and sort "technical discussion". This is fine and encouraged.

Then there is the "priority" - I don't think is a feature of a ticket. It's a property of context - do users complain _now_? Is the fix risky? Is the boss shouting? Do we lose money? Does the PM want this work done for personal reasons? How much time will it take for me to do a context switch to start the work?

I don't think it's possible to add this "priority" (as defined by social interactions) to a ticket. I always found I prioritize tickets that I understand the social context of. A colleague nagging me by walking to my desk is 100X the priority for me than "P1 critical" written by some PM on the other side of the planet.

The point: I try not to fight with the social aspect. If you want me to do a ticket. Good. Come over. Do a hangout and explain the context. Setting a mindless value in some field on some random badly described ticket is not going to make me de-prioritize other things.
As explained, the severity is the impact on the system. For example, a null pointer that causes the system to crash will have a critical severity.

But maybe this bug occurs very rarely and in very specific circumstances.

On the other hand you have also found another bug that makes your app use bright green Comic Sans. It is not severe as it is only cosmetic.

But for some reason, on your last release this happens every time the app is started.

It seems likely that the second issue will have a much higher priority and will have to be fixed immediately, while the null pointer can wait.

Severity is purely technical. Priority is a project/commercial decision (which is informed by severity but also other considerations). They generally do not align.
Maybe we should try having more common colds... In wonder if that would help to create resistance.
Ah yes, I see it now. That's buried deep though. Definitely not obvious.
Speak for yourself. I also graduated in 2004, but the company I was working for in 2008 was affected by the financial crisis. (Quick reminder that this was one of the worst in history! Lots of stuff was affected!) Programmers don’t all work in the tech industry proper.
That was easy to understand and fun. Some sort of competitive aspect (e.g. a leaderboard) would make this addictive :)

Right now I don't think CSS frameworks are intended to be a drop-in replacement; each one will also introduce a subtle change in style that you have to work with. In theory you can rebuild your application reusing functional components and only replacing visual ones, but it's still going to be a lot of work.

But I think a lot of people wouldn't just replace the CSS framework, they'll rethink the whole UI and everything that goes with it with a big operation like that.

late last year gmail started complaining I had used up all its storage space of 15 GB and asked me to start paying for more storage. That was the last straw, if I am going to pay for email I might as well spend my money and not give away my data for ads and privacy. I signed up for fastmail. Now outside from Android and maps and keep, I am pretty much off google.
I had been a hardcore Chrome user since the comic book days and switched back to Firefox last year.

Any monitor or projector arrangement will function perfectly, it all depends on your context. Simply route the Spout visual stream into your software of choice.

NestDrop will use the Windows default audio output of your computer. You can change which output is the default by going in the Windows Sound panel, Playback Tab, right-click on the device you want, and select “Set as Default Device”. Note the change in Video Decks will reflect only after the Decks are restarted

If you wish to use live audio as the source for NestDrop, you can follow this procedure to activate the audio loopback in the Windows sound settings. This loopback technique will send the audio input directly to the default audio out. If you're using a microphone to capture live audio then it's important to mute your speakers or you could possibly create a feedback loop. This is especially vital if your computer is connected to a large sound system where the speakers could be damaged.

In my experience trying to do semantic CSS just adds a lot of extra cognitive overhead and breaks down in the inevitable requirements churn every project goes through.

I was skeptical of Tailwind too until I actually tried it. It’s one of those things like JSX that defies received wisdom but in real use is very nice.
A few years back I bought a sofa from a small manufacturer that claimed it was free of fire retardants. Similar story for my mattress. The mattress side took some research, but from what I found most foam mattresses are free of them, and some manufacturers use a tightly woven cotton cover to get the fire retardant properties, rather than a cover treated with fire retardant chemicals.

Do your own research, but from what I found it’s not too hard to be careful about this stuff.

The cigarette companies use paper that doesn't stop burning when a drag hasn't been taken in a while, because it probably allows them to sell 5% more cigarettes (due to inattentive smokers.)

Note that I'm not saying here that they simply fail to use some technology or chemical that would cause a cigarette to burn out. They are doing the opposite; a hand-rolled cigarette burns out on its own.

Cigarette fires are usually caused when a smoker falls asleep while holding a cigarette.
It's a shame Sciter hasn't seen more adoption:

https://sciter.com/

But a) it's a commercial product and b) uses it's own scripting language instead of JavaScript. But from some initial noodling around with it the browser engine is very capable and the footprint small.
Even though the certs are 90 days, the script renews the cert 30 days before it is due to expire. Typically you will run the script once per week via crontab, so you'll get emailed once a day with a message saying either it has renewed the cert, or it isn't ready for renewal.

IMO Let's Encrypt is the best way to manage an SSL cert these days.

Jargonaut looks pretty interesting. I was on a team once where the lack of a shared glossary really slowed down development of the process. It's easy to make a glossary in a shared document, or as part of a larger project-management application. But the lack of a specific tool used for maintaining a glossary might make it easy to overlook the need for one. I was a teacher working at a school trying to implement a new model of education, so this isn't just about programming teams.

I have no idea if people would pay for this, but I think it could certainly generate a more thoughtful discussion than what I saw on this weekend's post.
Future of humanity. Yes, Firefox will save us all.
I would like that. Personally I bookmarked this to come back to because so many of the components are listed as not yet implemented.

I do think they have a fourteen day free trial, though.
> Countries without authoritarian governments likely don't have the means to effectively quarantine major cities and shut down massive portions of their economy immediately without major problems arising

Hum... If people start dying¹, every country will. Democracy will just help ensure it's not done is a hush...

What leads to my second comment, China can not do it without massive problems immediately arising either. The only thing they can do better is hiding those problems, but you bet there are a lot of people dying there because of the measures the government has taken to stop people fro dying.

1 - That's still an "if". How much of the lethality is caused by bad health care in China? I don't think anybody can answer this question yet.
It's great there's yet another UI framework on its way. Choice is awesome.

I'm a frontend guy (among other things) and for past 2 years I've been using Nuxt (app server, node.js) and Vuetify (material UI framework for Vue.js). Given what kind of results that stack can (and does) achieve, I wonder if people in the same boat as me (using the same stack) would even attempt to use Tailwind CSS/UI.

Whatever the case is, I'm glad there's a project that's useful and that helps authors finance their effort. Thumbs up!

COVID19 spreads by default. If you leave it alone, it will spread uncontrollably. China went from 0 to 79,000 confirmed cases in 2 months, despite running the largest and most extensive quarantine in human history.

Sure, but note that they started the strict quarantine protocol after there are already > ten
thousand ick people (and many more already exposed).

With coronavirus, it's not possible to do this. The reason is that many people are asymptomatic for weeks, while at the same time passing the virus to other people. If you cannot identify infections before they have the chance to spread at a rate of >1, then the spread of the disease will by default be exponentia

This is mostly speculation, maybe just applying basic things like hand washing, distance measures pushes it to <1 and it dies down eventually? Besides, we have no data about the rate of infection from people who does not show any symptoms (especially coughing).

There might be no article from him today but i have read plenty of articles about him the last few weeks. Including the criticisim of how he gets treated.

So what is the real issue? I would say none. Would i say there is some deliberate action going on? Also no.
We have Medicare and Social security, which are socialist policies. If you've ever voted for any serving member of Congress, you've voted for someone who socialist policies.

> Tailwind has lots of classes, but each class does one thing

I think this masks a lot of complexity that you have to manage when taking on this approach. And it's not because the approach is good or bad, more what it is or isn't suited for.

The example on the homepage is very slickly presented, but the end result markup is extremely verbose. If I have a Card component, I would like to update them all at once when needed which is what css classes are generally good for. I find BEM naming conventions much more friendly to come back to than markup full of miniature class names.

Yup, which is a central core to the tragedy of how the EU was [mis-] sold to the UK populace and the idea of Brexit allowed to creep in over decades of gradual negative sublimation in the tabloid / right-wing press.

We've always been free to choose much of our own course (blue passports anyone?), and we've also been as free as other EU states to break rules when it suited us. Beyond that, we were a part of the dialogue and could've pushed our points in within the European context. Instead we had the likes of Farage taking up seats in the EU parliament and adding absolutely nothing useful.

And so, the various vying frontline political factions in Westminster managed to pin much of the discontent in the UK's political landscape on the EU, not itself.

This is a systematic issue with many of Google's services. They have the money and manpower to test their interface on Firefox. We're talking about a modern, generally standard-compliant browser here, not IE6. Getting those websites to perform decently on Firefox shouldn't be a problem for Google.

I can believe that they don't purposefully break Firefox for the sake of it, but it's clear that they make no effort to make their websites compatible and they don't appear to consider these issues like bugs. If it works on Chrome then it's good enough. I suspect that internally compatibility issues with Firefox are not even considered bugs at all, it's just the way it is and it's up to Mozilla to fix their browsers to be compatible with Chromium (I have no insider knowledge, but it's the way it feels from the outside).
That's fair. However, it is pretty straightforward to extract these to something reusable using Sass, css-modules, or templating (Handlebars, Nunjucks, React, etc).

So you can move really fast and experiment when you need to, and then extract to something shared when you're ready to DRY it up.
