You living someplace, eating at a restaurant, and having a general gestalt of the local experience does not make you (or any of us) an expert on statements about population-level demographics or the economic implication. There's no reason to get upset that someone on the internet doesn't believe your analysis, or to call them names.

It is a statistical impossibility that any given group in Portland is the same as any given group in Texas on the metrics I mentioned, so your claim is really that these metrics don't influence price sensitivity.

It's statements like this that are revealing:

> People do value authenticity in my town. The big corporate chain restaurants are a lot more sparse here, exactly because the local places are just as cheap, far higher quality, locally owned, and using local ingrediants, etc.

There's no trade-off between chain restaurants and locally owned? The latter is just an unalloyed good and other regions of the country are just making mistakes for no reason? So no, I don't find your analysis convincing, but as I already said I appreciate your input in the discussion.
I think you are just repeating things you have read about.

People walking out of their jobs because wages are so low is obvious bullshit.

The people I know in this situation are the hardest working people I have ever met and it is insulting to them to say such things.

I will never like CSS and cannot share any fond memories of it's development.

Modern CSS is bearable with features like Flexbox and Grid, but CSS will never be able to hide how inelegant, clunky and sprawling it is. You could write an entire book on CSS 'gotchas' - from specificity to box-sizing to inheritance. The list of topics is endless.

There are also dozens of different ways of writing CSS (by design) which is why you never see two or more people write it in the same way.

Why did a "style sheet" language incorporate animation into its already bloated feature set? (Not convinced by the argument that animation = appearance and thus fits into the scope of CSS.)

It's a bit ironic that modern CSS features let you finally drop horrible CSS hacks from the past like floats. And yet, developers are not taking advantage of modern CSS features like Grid (which greatly simplifies layout). CSS frameworks often don't take advantage of these modern features either.

In fact, modern CSS makes it easier to write plain CSS without the use of a CSS framework. But is there anyone left who isn't using a framework?

How do computing resource limits work?
No, you missed my point.

Pension isn’t about money. It’s about work. Less working adults => less surplus value created by society => less resources available for retired people.

How you finance that - via direct payments / taxes, or via individual savings - is besides the point. Neither of these can defeat the economics of supply (of working-age adults’ labour) and demand (of the retired non-producing population). If you try to force it, you’ll just cause other issues (e.g. housing / market crashes caused by all pensioners cashing out at once, or wage/food inflation caused by labour shortages).

Yes, this is correct. If you (somehow) tie the bailouts to limiting short-distance flights, than your bailouts are becoming more environmentally friendly.

But again, doing regular bailouts is not necessarily tipping the scales in the anti-environmentally friendly direction. They can be neutral. They are neutral if they did not change the behaviour in relative flight usage comparatively to before the pandemic.

Using this reasoning for example will make flight subsidies anti-environmentally friendly and not neutral (if you also do not subsidies other modes of transportation).

Obviously this is hard to judge, but the article (from what I can tell) does not study that, so I wrote "a little misleading".

> All those table tags just felt… wrong. Icky. And yet, I could readily see how not using tables hampered my layout options.

I used the Wayback Machine (Thank you, Internet Archive!) to dig up some of my old designs, and boy, I used tables for all it was worth, and then some.

Unlike Mr. Meyer, it didn't feel wrong. But again, unlike Mr. Meyer, 25 years ago I was ... let's just say "young", around 13-14.

I'm planning to write a small blog post about it some day, because the amount of tables I used for a simple heading is just staggering. It must be at least a full page (in 800x600) for just a simple header. I don't think I can explain how or why without actually posting screenshots.
I don't understand the problem here! Prefetch loads additional data while you're not doing anything. The whole argument is that prefetch doesn't respect caching??? Those are two different concepts. While I am looking at slide N I don't care if slide N+1 image is loaded fresh or from a cache. Am I missing something here?

Hmm, I have never seen Trustzone as comparable to ME.

Trustzone is a secure execution environment, mostly isolated from normal CPU operation. Wasn't it so that it cannot even access main memory???

ME is really more privileged than the CPU?

I have not heard about Trustzone doing networking. But ME can supposedly do even WLAN while the CPU is not running.

Disagree. Let's assume 25% of a graduate SV salary is $25k. That's €20k. With this salary you can only hire bottom of the barrel graduates in Portugal (cheapest country in western europe) since most graduates leave to other EU countries. With that money, in India you can get many more graduates with good English proficiency from world-class universities that are extremely hard to get into. Plus cultural barrier is overrated, if there is a barrier it's only disappearing in this internet era.

>Rust has to support the current version of Apple's LLVM fork as well as the LLVM they ship with specifically just so you can compile watchOS apps, since that platform requires a proprietary bitcode format Apple never documented and only supports in their proprietary fork.

I'm not sure I follow. Apple's LLVM fork could open source and Rust would still have to support two LLVMs if the WatchOS code wasn't upstreamed. Apple has no responsibility to upstream code on the GPL, nor do the LLVM maintainers. Given that Apple's bitcode would be proprietary / undocumented (GPL doesn't require you to document your code), it would take a dedicated individual to make sure the two projects are in sync. If Apple isn't doing that now, I'm not convinced they would do it under GPL.

Nope.

In most restaurants and bars, 300ml is the standard size, sometimes even 250ml. 500ml is considered a big beer.
300ml is also the standard size at festivities, concerts and sports games.

In Colone, the standard size of the local beer (Kölsch) is 200ml, but 300ml is also common.

In the south of Germany, especially bavaria, 500ml is the standard size in restaurants, and 1L at festivities and in bars run by breweries.
500ml is also the standard size of wheat beers nearly everywhere.

In shops, you can get beers in bottles of 330ml and 500ml.

It depends. Sure, we cannot be perfect. But not being racist has no downsides. Not drinking has no downsides. Same for several other of our vices.

So if there's no downside...why don't we stop?
Interesting. Seems like it could interact with (for instance) confirmation-of-payee systems in the UK, through use of the "name" field.

I can see it growing all sorts of new fields though, and being used maliciously. I guess security considerations are largely out of scope for the rfc though.
No it isn't. In Germany for example we have 2.4 million hectares reserved for "energy crops", i.e. mostly large monocultures of corn and canola. If we instead used that area for solar panels, a large fraction of Germany's primary power consumption could be covered.

Even though I find this topic very interesting I have to admit the paper is a bit too much for me. I mean I understand the words but not the knowledge behind them to know if they are true. I hope we will soon see clients that are easy to use while still being as safe.
> If the system is compromised then it can just report the expected password hash. You can't trust a compromised machine to tell the truth.

I think the GP's point is that you assume the system can't tell the truth so you do the validation server side rather than client side. Sure, the system could send a different password hash, but as long as you don't publish the correct hashes it's not going to matter if the client sends alternative hashes since that validation happens server side and thus the client wouldn't know what hashes are valid.

> I keep my music library in FLAC, both because I know it's CD quality and because it's an archive. I want to be able to convert the tracks to any new codec that may come along, if I need to.

I understand the sentiment. But the reality is, if the re-encoding is not likely going to happen within the next 10 years, your hearing will probably have deteriorated so much that you probably won't hear the difference anymore anyway (assuming you can hear a difference today, which is a big assumption).

Lots and lots of variations. But basically get a $250-350 pair of speakers for a decent brand (Dali Spektor 1 or 2 are a good bet) and plug them into a $100-200 second hand amp and you've got a great set up. If you don't want to go second hand then Yamaha and Sony have some decent amps in this price range.

Spend whatever you have left over on a second hand CD player or DAC for your phone, depending on what you want to use as a source.

Sorry bias from someone who's been living ~100m from the iron curtain. Russia's sort of close. But you're right, according to Wikipedia the ranking is (1) China — (2) India — (3) United States — (4) Indonesia — (5) Pakistan — (6) Brazil — (7) Nigeria — (8) Bangladesh — (9) Russia; the first 6 countries (of 241 countries and territories, i.e. 2%) give you 49% of the world's population; 14% of all countries and territories account for 80% of the population, so Pareto more or less.

> But I still don't have any idea what all that xmlns stuff is about

Basically, they that by "extensible" they both wanted to support custom document markup languages/structures, but also the ability to extend those documents without needing to coordinate naming, etc.

But they messed it up by defining namespaces as an add-on to the core XML spec, rather than part of the spec itself. They also made 1-2 important errors in the definition of that add-on.

This led to XML tools being modal, having to support an interpretation of a document treating "xmlns" as a regular attribute and one where it was a namespace that influenced the interpretation of all the attributes/elements.

This push of complexity onto the people building schemas and using tools grew as there were two camps - one which wanted XML to be about generic tools that work on all XML data (similar to JSON today) and one where you used XML to define a specific document format for consumption by format-specific tools.

Various specifications were led by the generic tooling camp or document centric camp. As a result, XML eventually wound up being a poor fit for both.

Yes, I was living in London when the blitz started(I was 2). The bombs were a random event, and you lived/died on that basis. It failed to defeat the British public - it made them angry. In addition to being useless strategically it also diverted Nazi efforts away from the RAF and allowed a higher degree of production dispersion to be implemented - the result was the UK won the air war and it was impossible to invade the UK with air superiority. Our house was bombed, but we had an estate in Wales and we went there when the blitz began. Insurance failed to pay under an 'acts of war' clause.
Compared to other half-assed declarative formats? Yes.

Try covering dynamic-sized image with an svg surface. Try outlining a hovered element so that outline/shadow covers other items around. Try to baseline align text in non-shallow div hierarchy (which is required to workaround other issues).

When there is a moderate visual requirement I’d better mess around with something like GTK+/Cairo, NSView or QPainter rather than pulling hairs at CSS trying to slap few incompatible js-y solutions into one big ball of bs.

When it comes to group theory, they are the same object. When we talk about things like rotation groups, we're not usually concerned with the way they are represented (much as we don't usually how the real or the complex numbers are constructed, for both of which there exist multiple different constructions).
Yes, and you only need this at the root hypervisor level, once peripherals can be abstracted in a new way (maybe DMA at a different privilege level, certain hardware features would be required).

I don't even understand his main argument, but here's a random, incorrect argument he made.

> For example, let's take Usain Bolt's 100m World Record of 9.58 seconds. Imagine that was the only data point we had regarding human running speed. Wth that one data point we could confidently make a powerful prediction, that anyone we pick from the world population will take more than 9.58 seconds to run 100 metres.

This is not true at all. Either he's saying that the "single datapoint" is "Bolt ran 100 m in 9.58 s". If that is the datapoint, we can't draw any conclusions from that, for all we know he could be the slowest human in the world.

If on the other hand he means that the single datapoint is "Bolt ran 100 m in 9.58 s and nobody has run faster" then sure, we can conclude that nobody is faster, but that's part of the datapoint so it's not very interesting.
Very interesting topic
> It's a mistake to apply vanilla statistical thinking here. The 12 participants [...] were extremely skewed towards enthusiasts/professionals

It is still undetermined if having 12 highly-skilled professionals in the experiment is enough to have a conclusive experiment.

Also, this subject is so difficult to get right that the authors of the article themselves hedged by saying that experiment "does not support watertight conclusions".
Yes it is, because copyright law (like all laws) is government regulation.
I feel you; I was more confused after the video than before knowing there was any "method" at all.

I think the grey levels are just there to distinguish between different pours. So you take the amount of water you want to use and divide it into chunks which you pour separately (with a 45 second delay between), and depending on how large you make each chunk you get different results. I.e., first chunk large = sweeter; fewer chunks in the last 60% = less strong.
This likely depends on what state and what park you're in. I've travelled the US in an RV and I've definitely seen people scolded for simply enjoying a glass of wine in a state park. Lots of parks also have huge signs all over the place warning that alcohol is not allowed, so presumably they are taking it seriously.
I upvoted this because I agree that the UK and Australia have more than two important parties, but I believe that the Australian voting system is MUCH better than the US and UK systems (which also supports your main point in a way).
completely not true. if they want to spend big on lawyers they can go ahead, sounds to me like a clear breach of contact, open and shut case any lawyer would gladly take and they will end up paying for fees as well.

of course there's no "justice" you still lose a lot, but you don't give up for nothing, may end up with some compensation.
