In theory there's nothing CSS can do that JS can't, as long as the browsers provide the equivalent API for it. Any other performance difference will go away once they devote some resources to optimizing it.

The real question is whether we want styling/theming to be in it's own domain specific language. From an ergonomics standpoint, CSS is such a bad language we would rather write JS instead. But the downside of not having it in a more restricted language is that it's much harder to build tooling for it. For example, you won't be able to open up any webpage and know you can inspect and change the style of things. Instead you need to know the specific JS class for that component or ThemeProvider and modify that instead. Every ui framework is going to do things slightly differently which will be a huge blow to user customizability.

That is absolutely not fair.

BER-TLV is really nice protocol. I have worked with it for couple of years when I worked on an EMV application. It uses BER-TLV to communicate with the credit card but it is also very convenient format for all sorts of other uses and I would use it wherever I could. Think of it as Json but in binary form. It is not complicated and I would not even bother parsing the messages -- I could interpret hex dumps of them by sight very easily.
eBPF similarly to DTrace allows you to view internals of your OS. With SNMP you have fixed number of metrics that you can view, while with eBPF you can create new ones. You could implement SNMP daemon that uses eBPF to get the data, and perhaps that will happen in the future if it already didn't.

If you're cooking something at a low temperature, but you accidentally turn the heat up really high, do you adjust the temp as soon as you realize what's going on in order to prevent over-cooking, or do you just let it ride and see what happens, high risk of over-cooking be damned?

Yea.. I can see some people thinking that, but that sentiment kind of goes against the rule of law. If all of the criminals committed crimes that everyone agreed should be punishable by death I could see it being more acceptable, but if these are lesser crimes that wouldn't be punishable by death but where the individual could be killed by other criminals that believe them to be a snitch, having law enforcement risk a person's life seems to go against the rule of law.
> You can as easily have the same problem with physical mail, but that doesn't confer an indefinite right to a particular physical address.

Of course not! But the USPS has (virtually) free change-of-address forwarding[1], and we have an entire set of social and governmental institutions pre-built around the impermanency of physical addresses. No such institutions exist for digital addressing.

I agree, re: backups, and I keep them for myself. But it occurs to me that the average non-technical individual probably doesn't know how to make a backup of their GMail account.

Wow what a throwback. I used IDL when I worked in astrophysics, and I loved it. It had a lot of fun capabilities and was super easy to build C libraries for.

Back then there was also an attempt at making GDL (gnu data language), but the tooling for IDL was so deep I doubt anything can directly replace it. Then again I've been out of this for twelve years.
Using a proprietary web browser would be like using a blowtorch that claimed to be powered by "magic." While I might use, say, a "magic" recipe, or a toy that claimed to be magic, I certainly wouldn't use a real, combustive tool that claimed to be magic.
I would be really curious to know what kind of sensor the seekers are using. The ground radar only tracks the target and calculates an estimated IP the terminal guidance is performed individually by each interceptor.

At $100K a pop a even a mid range CCD sensor seems to too pricey, the size of the missile also precludes any cryogenically cooled IR sensor or an active radar array and since they can hit a target as small as a larger mortar even passive radar sensing seem to be nearly impossible to achieve.

Day and night also seems to have no impact on the performance of the system if anything it seems to have slightly higher interception rates at night and since the rockets it intercepts are in their ballistic stage it can’t even use heat seeking to intercepts its targets.

It hits targets as small as 1.5M in length and 15-20cm in diameter so the overall cross section for the target lock is tiny.

The politics aside I can’t think of a single missile system that can even compete with this level of performance even at orders of magnitude higher costs.

I’m actually surprised that the US hasn’t bought and installed a battery on every single warship it has since the system can also intercept anti ship missiles and even combat aircraft at short ranges.

No, thats silly.

There are lots of tiny nations, with no ability to defend themselves, but we don't see them getting nuked for no reason.

The idea that just because some people decided to go live on a boat somewhere, that this means that nation states are just going to start murdering people, is just a made up story, in the minds of people who just want to fantasize about killing people who they disagree with politically.

Nation states would be harmed very significantly, on the political side, if they just started blowing up ships, for no reason, lived in by people who just want to live in the ocean somewhere.

The world is not some RPG civilizations game, where an unclaimed NPC boat, is going to be "taken over" for its resources. There are serious political ramifications, to this military fantasy that people have, about houseboats getting invaded.
Last I read, researchers had pretty convincingly isolated the primary cause as insufficient intense UV-bearing light (so, sunlight) exposure during a handful of critical early childhood years, followed by genes as a distant second major risk-factor for near-sightedness. "Too much TV" or "too much reading" had been ruled out as meaningfully affecting anything, once isolated from the "too little bright light during certain ages" factor. The supposed mechanism is that intense light plays a role in getting the eye to stop developing and changing shape at the right time.
I disagree, wells are equal to or better than municipal water, and can often be cheaper while being higher quality. the inverse can be true. the analogy holds imo.

So each interceptor missle costs upwards of 70k$ and they typically intercept rockets that cost around 800$. How is that remotely sustainable?

Edit: I guess we should also take into account what a missle that hits its target costs to Israel, so I am not that disappointed in the efficacy now.

> The seasteading idea makes me wonder how much it would cost to run an actual state (with a military/sufficient protection) based on distributed platforms/boats. Assuming said state could negotiate deals with ports around the world, it doesn’t seem that absurd. A few billion, maybe?

What's the budget of the US Navy? A seasteading "nation" would be eminently vulnerable to military attack unless it dominated the seas militarily to an absurd degree. It only takes a couple cruise missile or torpedo hits to sink a ship (and destroy a seastead), but you can't destroy a land based nation that easily.
At least with government we have the powers of oversight and political organizing. It seems like a better bet then a corporation who's accountable to a bottom line, or owners.

Proving is *never* natural science. Science never proves outside "formal sciences" like mathematics. Science can only show that hypothesis is wrong conditionally. In science you can only say you have evidence supporting hypothesis and evidence falsifying it.

I do think it would be optimal if there were a fallback option for all types of digital accounts. It is not Google's fault, though, that there isn't, as they are not the cause of the assumption of email address permanence. You need to lay your blame at the feet of the service providers.

I do also think it might be ideal if Google would forward emails to an address of your choosing in the event they closed your account.

The reason software is different is simply that it is a recently developed industry.

I think it greatly underestimates the the actual cost of the rockets Hamas uses, especially the big ones which are clones of Iranian medium range field rocket artillery, as well as the cost of the infrastructure required to build and launch them which Israel constantly blows up.

in my opinion : yes. we've been coming up with things for 30-40 years now, and emissions are still rising. we've had some kind of climate accord since 1992, and essentially nothing has changed with respect to fossil fuel use.

on my side of the pond we've committed to a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030 as compared to 1990... that's just 9 years, and we are _still_ at 1990 levels or thereabouts, meaning we have done essentially _nothing_ in 30 years.

I'd damn well say we're against the wall.

[EDIT] oh, without even going far-afield with second order effects, you'd also need to factor in the expected economic harm of each $800 rocket (on average) and the economic harm of the threat of $800 rockets landing more often (to, say, the tourism industry)

Since it’s located on a barren volcano at a high altitude I would say there is less oxygen in the air than at sea level. The air there should also be less affected by nearby emissions.

They also have stats on the ratio of O2 to N2, which has been falling over the same period. People argue that plants will produce more oxygen to make up for the new CO2 in the air, but here we see that combustion is winning out.

There is really not much text and/or information, and also a couple of odd typos

shells come out of an artillery unit and would be quite difficult to hit. also, due to the trajectory, low range and low lethality of mortars 99/100 times ID will never be deployed in locations to intercept mortars
> Each interceptor missile costs between $70,000–100,000, and an Iron Dome battery costs 50 Million.

This is at least the third unique number I've seen for the cost of a missile. Wikipedia cites a cost of $40,000 per missile, for example (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome). I assume people are just guessing from the budget.
