Yes, that's completely unheard of.
Huh? This is a direct response for the fact that any sufficiently large vanilla CSS has a high risk to turn into an unmaintainable, monolithic clusterfuck.
The math might not be too complex but it still seems arcane magic to me.

But the premise that a computer simulation solved the problem with a given reason that is too complicated to understood by humans, and require a separate computer program to verify is both fascinating and scary at the same time.
You've outlined a preference, but you haven't informed the reader why your preferred solution is superior other than by saying that it makes your problems "trivial" (which in any moderately complex problem space is extremely unlikely).

If I can't see it given that I have actual experience with what you're talking about and can reasonably be expected to have the background to understand, how is someone from a different field supposed to understand what you wrote?

I really think that's unfair, untrue even. I work with a lot of services on a regular basis, and while it very frustrating to find something with missing documentation, it seems to be confined to certain services, and mostly then for new'ish features. In those cases, they are quite responsive on GitHub.

That reminds me of the Edinburgh trams project - which was a bit of a disaster during construction (mind you the end result is excellent):

https://www.insider.co.uk/news/edinburgh-tram-inquiry-john-c...
I’m a relatively pro-market person and even I admit public-private ventures are almost always worse than purely public or purely private. It always seems to combine the worst features of both.

You don’t have ‘real’ private firms doing work, you end up with these professional gov contractor companies (who focus entirely on gov projects) which act like half baked gov agencies themselves with none of the public oversight/responsibility to tax payers and government agencies acting like profit seeking entities with no competition and bottom feeding talent pools/lowest price contracts (which almost always ends up being flakey organizations mentioned earlier who are entirely designed to get gov contracts as mentioned earlier).

Beyond that, the inherent structure of using a patchwork of consultancies with broken responsibility chains and corrupted incentive structures also kills many over-capitalized tech startups too. It’s a poor way to build any business.

Much like Apple the only things that should be outsourced are manageable isolated pieces, not core parts of the project.

You also can see why people are pro-gutting public agencies when these disasters are all they can produce - while at the same time there are certain areas private firms won’t naturally account for. The whole thing needs a rethinking.

>Get private investors to do it. They will do it affordably, financially sustainably, and safely, and they won't steal money from all the citizens of the state to build something which won't be of use to many of them.

This is such a weird position to hold. Are Japanese high speed trains build by private investors? Are American interstate highways?

Highways are build by the government because they are enablers of society. They don't need to make a profit themselves, they lift society as a whole.

Similar with high speed train. It's infrastructure, not an investment portfolio.
It would. The main benefit of trains is that they stop at cities along the way, making many route combinations possible that planes wouldn't be able to service. You don't save much time by not stopping at a a few cities. For example, note that almost every long distance train in every country (I know of)
, including the most "express" trains, still stop at smaller cities.
They make use of /etc_ro/public.pem to verify the integrity of a firmware update. So flashing a custom firmware (e.g.: OpenWRT) will fail all checks they put in place.
I did not investigate how one could circumvent the update mechanism yet but if you're interested in doing so for these particular models my GitHub repo (https://github.com/0xricksanchez/dlink-decrypt) has a decryption script for these firmware images so you can snoop around the file system for further clues.

The consequence is that this record is on file, and arguably could be used to disqualify a corporate entity from future projects. Screwing up big enough would actually be a "corporate death sentence".
This article seems to completely ignore the biggest area where inline CSS is problematic: dynamic, state-dependent styles. That is, things like pseudoclasses (hover states and the likes) and media queries.

You can do these things in JavaScript: match your media queries in JavaScript and change the inline styles, and reimplement :hover, :focus and the likes. But I expect (without supporting measurements) that doing this for everything will be fairly bad for performance, and it will generally be less responsive (in the performance sense of the word rather than the resolution-independence sense of the word), e.g. your state-dependent styles may apply a frame later than they should. And I don’t like to depend on JavaScript without good cause.

This is where utility CSS frameworks strike the balance: by using regular class names for the effects of inline CSS, they can apply media queries and psuedoclasses. It’s an interesting approach that I haven’t used yet but I’ve steadily been coming around to the notion of for some sorts of projects.

(There are also pseudoelements; those can’t be implemented with inline CSS at all.)
Ok, then just use a single cloud load balancer which points to Traefik running inside Kubernetes. Then you can run as many deployments / containers behind it as you wish.
I wouldn't see that as rewarding someone, but rather meeting their basic needs. Like Germany already does with health care and unemployment benefits, but doing away with the bureaucratic hassles and penalties, and increasing the money to an actual liveable amount.

For me it's a question about how we want to transform society in the long term, I don't think UBI for all will come next year.

I'd give back the following question: why are we rewarding people currently for doing mind-numbing bullshit jobs?
Did you even read the article? People can handle the "simple core concepts of CSS" just fine - you're interjecting your own pessimistic opinion here & passing it off as fact. No, the article states how the abstraction of CSS classNames doesn't fit well with the idea of using modular Components. You're still writing CSS, heck, styled-components even _adds_ features on top of it. But sure, just keep echoing this "web dev stupid" mentality
I suspect that if you're using React's 'style' expansion using an object, the order of styles that are written inline is going to be non-deterministic which means your compression won't be optimal. It'll still work, obviously, but not as well as the compression you'd get if you used a class name.
Look at outdoor cameras targeted at the commercial market, e.g. from Hikvision and similar brands. Solar is probably out of the question due to power requirements, but if you can run one Ethernet cable, there's a lot of cameras available that run from PoE and stream over RTSP, which can be proxied to YouTube (or AWS, etc) without much trouble.

Cost will be considerably higher than for IoT residential junk, however.
This has been reported from a number of places as a possibility.

Coronaviruses are a member of the virus group that give us common cold and one theory is that the common cold has cross reactivity with Covid immunologically.

So there may be a huge population with built in immunity.

> Assuming you mean pipelines YAML files, I can't agree - my pipelines are always quite terse, and you can also split them into multiple files if wanted. IME they are no longer than pipeline configs from AppVeyor, Travis etc.

Yeah I was, how long are yours? I've got a couple here that are bordering on 300 lines which is pretty wild considering I only need to build a container and push it to K8s...

> Working with service connections is definitely a PITA, but since you need to have the requisite permissions in Azure, I'm not sure there is a good way of handling things.

Compared to AWS' permission model, my experience is that it's distributed amongst throughout a number of locations, and needlessly complicated to ensure that team members have the permissions they need.
13th amendment of the US constitution:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, >>> except as a punishment for crime <<< whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."

Slavery is legal as long as it concerns criminal, that's why the US prison system is one of the most fucked up of any first world countries.
And get much lower yields as a result
I read a paper that tried to answer why tunnels cost more in New Zealand/Australia/US and Britain. Part of the answer was labor is a much large part of the cost than one would assume. And second those countries try to push 100% of the risk onto the contractors. One could haplessly think that's free but it's not. Smaller cheaper contractors won't bid[1]. And the largest contractors pad their bids so they will still make money even if everything goes wrong.

[1] If you take projects with a 10% chance of bankrupting you, you'll be out of business in no time.
This would come with a cost of longer compression times - either multiple attempts with random shuffling or pre-compression file ordering optimization process. For resources that are compressed once and then distributed and decompressed multiple times this would be quite interesting solution

It's also fairly bad practice to put your CSS into JavaScript for a number of reasons (such as accessibility, disabled javascript etc.).
There's another very good reason to make a claim of "self evidence" besides not having any good arguments, which is if the proposition actually is self-evident to the target audience, and you want to focus on something else rather than dive into a long justification for the proposition.

I think the author is justified in saying that designing with components in web development has become self-evidently better than not. All new web frameworks are component-based. Web Components were added to HTML. Pretty much all web developers agree on this.

Are you a web developer? Do you disagree that the benefits of components in web programming are self-evident? If so, that is definitely surprising to me, and probably to the author.
This is quite surprising, the first reason stated is GDP, which I don’t see as a perfect indicator for a good startup environment.

The second reason is low taxes, which especially for Berlin also isn’t true, there are different types of corporate taxes, they might have missed one and the personal taxes are very high which might scare off talent.

Finally there are the parts that are more difficult to measure, there’s a lot of bureaucracy and uncertainty (e.g. when hiring) so you end up paying a lot to tax consultants and many government services are not digital and very inefficient.

Now the comparison is in Europe so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are even worse countries, but places like UK or Estonia make it much easier to start in my opinion.
OK, so 10 light-hours apart

120h on the wall at starbase A

starbase B looks at starbase A, sees it's 110h, but the distance is 10h, so sets their clock to 120h

starbase C sees starbase B's clock as 110h but knows it's 10 light hours away and A as 100h and 20lh away, so sets their clock to 100+20h or 120h

starbase D also sets their clock at 120h

event occurs at 200h wall clock in starbase B

event is seen at 210h wall clock in starbase A, 210h in C, 220h in D

OK, your spaceship could tell starbase D the event has occured when it pops out at t=201h, but so what. How does starbase D get a message back to starbase B back before to get them to prevent the event from occuring?
For anyone wondering, a rebrand has been rumored for some time, and this is the first official press release using a new name.
I'm not going to defend the article, but I really bristle at this idea that if you just _get_ CSS it isn't problematic anymore. CSS tries to solve a hard problem and it's certainly preferably to inline-everything, but its design (global, cascading, with many types of behavior—positioning, z-stacking, etc—depending on the styling of parent elements in interesting ways) is actively hostile to many kinds of modularity, and that's a real issue even for people who "get" CSS.
And it is concerning how much woke ideology is packed into SS these days. It's like they are programming children with a new social operating system.
Could Humans Live in Underwater Cities? Plans to build a city under the sea
Every CSS rule is effectively in global scope.

We had this problem in programming forever. These days, you can put your function in a class in a namespace ... still the namespace sits in global scope. But we never came to the conclusion that we should make all code inline to solve it. Fortunately.

So if you make a CSS rule to make links in your userlist red:

.gizmosUserlist .name a { color: red }

Then yes, it will apply to other .gizmosUserlist instances.

Shadow DOM is a way to prevent it if you want.

Personally, I think it is a good thing, that you can make all links in all gizmosUserlists red if you like and can target a specific one with a more specific selector if you like.
Of course both programs will guarantee a certain income, that’s the point after all.

But UBI decreases motivation while also inflating the cost of goods and services so that they rise to meet the new money supply.

NIT avoids both problems by scaling with income. It provides motivation without paying every one. More fair, less cost, and better purchasing power.
The leading countries are Australia, NZ, South Korea etc:

https://covid19.healthdata.org

The estimate is that the US will be at 300,000 deaths by end of year. Whilst NZ will be at 22. US is 65x more populous so if they adopted similar policies would have been at 1430 deaths. And it could even be a million deaths by the time a vaccine is readily available.

And people like to bring up the island nonsense but fact is that the borders are largely closed with Canada and Mexico so the problem is purely to do with domestic policies and behaviours.
Every CSS rule is effectively in global scope.

They are, and that's why sibling and child selectors exist. If you only ever define simple classes with no thought about how they'll work in the overall app then you're in for a bad experience with styles cascading to things they're not meant to affect. If you actually use CSS the way it was designed then you have complete control over exactly what styles are applied to which elements.

A good rule in component based development is to define a class name for the component and use ".unique-component-class-name > .class-for-things-in-this-component" to limit the application of styles to that component. This takes a bit of discipline but it's pretty obvious when you get it wrong.
the inline CSS is not redundant, because redundancy only applies to the source, not the output. And in a component world, the source is the js/compiler/component source code, and the output is what's on the page. I wouldn't care if the css is repeated for every component that's rendered, as long as it's clear from the source code of the component (or js source).

Nobody bats an eye when a compiler unrolls a loop, and you get N copies of the same code in assembly. In the same sense, nobody should care how clean the "assembly" of the web is (CSS+HTML).

> Are Japanese high speed trains build by private investors?

Early shinkansen lines were built by Japanese National Railways, a state-owned enterprise; currently they are operated by Japan Railways Group, a private company. Certainly there is still a lot of government integration/interference with their operation, but JR won't, for example, build a shinkansen line which they know will never be able to pay for itself. At any rate there is much less of an expectation that large infrastructure projects will be over schedule and over budget and that's just the way things are.

> Are American interstate highways?

Of course not, and that's why highways are prone to the exact same schedule and budget overruns.

> Highways are build by the government because they are enablers of society.

Society can operate just fine without government.
Yeah I been following California's rail project, last I heard they were far behind past deadlines they have to give some money back to the feds. Maybe getting private investors could be the answer, Florida is working on their own rail project of going from Miami to Orlando which seems cool, could fly to the theme park capital of the world for a few days and then take a train to the cruise ship capital of the world. I know people like theme parks but some don't really feel relaxed after running around the parks all day and waiting in lines and stuff haha. So pack your vacation with some action, and then be a lazy at sea for some slower pace. I know Disney sometimes have deals for both a cruise and theme park, but they have the Magical Express bus.
I went from styled, to just using style as much as possible, to finally using tailwind. It's a wonderful development experience, and I hardly ever need to go beyond it. Can't recommend it enough, it makes developing quicker and simpler. And in the end, the product ends up looking way more consistent than anything else I've tried.
It's incredibly expensive and challenging to put rail routes through dense urban areas.

I actually did a fair amount of research on rail stuff when I was a college student hoping to become an urban planner. I wrote an alternate rail plan for Solano County, California as a student.* So I'm not just talking out my ass here.

No did I suggest that they would have created high speed rail just for that area if it weren't intended to then go on to SF and LA.

But when I was homeless in Fresno, I was already reading articles about the project and I think they were already doing some of the work at that point. So I've actually read a reasonable number of articles about this project as well.

I think it makes sense to do the middle section first. Work out some of the bugs in a relatively low cost leg of the project and then try to connect it to the more dense parts of the state after the "easy" section of track is successfully up and running. It's a test drive for the project to prove the concept and make it more feasible to complete the more challenging sections, basically.

Going to a 200 person party at this time seems unwise, but to then get shot.
I've worked in enterprise and midsize environments. Code is rarely revisited after being written, and code review is usually a rubber stamp approval. Reviewers rarely take the time to understand how the code under review works, and mostly focus on style nits.

The company value of "code ownership" means that you do whatever it takes to bolt your feature onto the existing codebase, and you don't expect others to catch or fix your mistakes during review.

Given our needs, we're generally satisfied with existing tools.
