I think eventually everyone just realized that so much of the styling is dependent on the element hierarchy that makes up the page that it’s pointless (and indeed painful) to separate your HTML from the component that uses it.

If you are actually using components, that isn’t much of an issue.

In a time when you’d be returning a whole document every single time, it might make sense to say ‘style this one document with this one stylesheet’, and even more so in a time when HTMl was still more or less semantic (e.g. an actual document).
My coworker and I used to run this on our work PCs (which were generally left on 24/7 and rarely rebooted).

It was a delightfully simple "game" and we enjoyed comparing stats.

That coworker has since passed away, and I think of this game every now and then as I reflect on our friendship.

I don't know why it's on Hacker News's front page today, but it brought a smile to my face.

I have a problem with YouTube videos certainly. They weren’t allowed for a reason. There are plenty of places to go if you want junk food, why do you have to insist that it’s posted here? Can’t you just let there be one place on the internet where a person can be free of vapid nonsense?

The intellectual substance of his video “essay” is anemic at best. And this was done on purpose because making videos is his livelihood, videos are optimized for views which means they are designed for mass appeal and the average person isn’t interested in anything intellectually engaging. And therefore the video doesn’t belong on HN… I can’t believe I have to explain this.

I am a fan of donkey. Been watching his videos for years. I watch lots of junk food videos on boob tube. Whether or not I like him or you like him or everybody likes him —- whether or not his videos are any good has nothing to do with whether or not they belong on HN based on the guidelines and history of this website. Such things objectively do not belong here.

I caught Lyme earlier this year. Recently moved to upstate NY (20 miles from Lyme, CT) and tick checks are a daily thing. Found an adult embedded in my side. Developed a 103ºF fever and fatigue. Dr. took blood for the Lyme test but didn't wait for a positive and prescribed 2 weeks of Doxycycline.

A few days later I found a bullseye rash on my leg (not near the bite area) which pretty much confirmed it.

I felt 100% around 5-7 days after developing fever symptoms.

This is something that anyone can do. It just takes patience, discipline, and care.

I wonder how much the Taliban could look away. The thing with fundamentalism is, a lot of it is hypocrisy, saying some things have to be the way they want it, but ignoring other things. Just look at Christian fundies ignoring Jesus' "be kind to each other" teachings. A quick google says the Quran also says women should be educated and respected, but apparently in the Taliban's mind women are chattel.

So, this new Talibanistan is not a religion-based country, it's a thuggery-based country abusing religion to justify whatever sick thing they want. So I wonder how much of that Chinese money is needed for them to erase away their concerns about the treatment of Muslims in Xinjiang.

> Social vs. parasocial is simply a matter of the scale of any one node.

Not really. But parasocial comes more natural with scale.
The main difference is the nature of relationship and communication. You can have a parasocial relationship even in a 1:1, and a social realtionship in a 1:billion.

The defining point is the type of power a relationship has. In parasocial it's one-sided, parasitic. While social is multisides, symbiotic. Though of course there is nor purely social or parasocial relationship in any group, there are some which are more like one or the other.

> A person, or a group, with more than a few hundred followers, can at best devote only a few minutes or seconds to each.

Social does not mean you must share personal connections with each individual. The crowd can also interact anonymous and indirect. The crowd can be social or parasocial, depending for whom they act and how much power it's head has.

The vaccine had a ton of upside...for those receiving it. Like most vaccines, it's not a hugely profitable endeavor for the company producing it, so it wasn't worth all of the baloney being thrown around in court.

> The distinction between HTML, JS and CSS always made perfect sense to me.

Really? HTML is already heavy on syntax, and the whole point of SGML-style angle-bracket markup is to invisibly structure text hierarchically and sneak in rendering properties or other "metadata" not rendered to the user, via attributes. In which universe, then, has it ever made sense to write

<div style="color: red">

rather than

<div color=red>

in a document representation language? Let alone today's CSS atrocities. Mind, I'm not talking about CSS' out-of-control layout model complexity, but inventing a new syntax (or a thousand microsyntaxes really) on top of already syntax-heavy markup.

If you think about it, CSS appears to have gotten these ninja super-powers because HTML was locked in a decade-long stagnation while W3C was busy with XML, RDF, and whatnot. Then again, in the last decade using <div>s for nearly everything was frowned upon, so with the precedent set in the decade before, CSS just had to re-order, re-place, re-arrange ad absurdum without any discernible mental discipline. Or, maybe the CSS WG people just couldn't stop.

The end effect is that CSS isn't approachable for even seasoned graphic artists let alone laymen; another effect being browser complexity resulting in monopolies.

A false separation-of-concerns narrative has ruined many languages and approaches (such as enterprise OOP); for the web it was particularly idiotic given it's founded on composable documents.

JS? Once it was out there, evolution of HTML and declarative UIs basically stalled because there wasn't anything you couldn't do using JS. Nevertheless, CSS had also grown into outlandish complexity. Basically, the "web stack" of today is what any standardization effort should've avoided.
Ask HN: Any good books about stress and management?
I am constantly involved in multiple projects with different clients. I have read about that multitasking is stressful and that meditation is good against stress. But I wonder if there is a book on how to manage the situation without feeling stressed in the first place. I want a system that works rather than a cure for the symptoms or something like that. Any suggestions?

I'd encourage anyone interested to do their own research. The scientific consensus today is what is stated in the linked wikipedia article. There are lot of myths around Lyme disease.

https://eu.delawareonline.com/story/sponsor-story/nemours/20...

Myth #5: Lyme disease can have debilitating, lifelong effects.

Fact: When treated with antibiotics, Lyme disease, at any stage of presentation, is curable.

Myth #6: My child will be at risk for chronic Lyme disease once he’s infected with Lyme.

Fact: Although some people report lingering or recurrent symptoms after Lyme disease, there is no evidence that chronic Lyme disease exists. Prolonged courses of antibiotics are not needed and can do more harm than good. Follow the recommendations of trusted sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society.

Myth #7: Alternative therapies are valuable treatment options for my child’s Lyme disease infection.

Fact: Lyme disease is a hot topic on the internet with many people sharing both successes and horror stories about alternative treatments, but keep in mind that it is hard to verify the legitimacy of internet sources. Instead, talk to your child’s pediatrician, or consult with a pediatric infectious diseases physician at an academic medical center.

Does anyone know if navigation systems like Waze already do load balancing? I've had my suspicions about that for a while.
There's no definitive accredited lab check as far as I know. At least here in Germany the official serologic tests for late stage Lyme can come back negative for years until the disease really progresses badly - even cerebrospinal fluid results may be normal despite neurological symptoms. My specialist uses elispot lab tests for Borrelia b. OspA, antigen and LFA-1 markers.

Other practitioners use westernblot lab results and differential diagnosis.

The simulated time is incremented by 16ms per inner loop a roughly 60hz rate. You’re correct that the simulated time catches up to the real time. Just wrong about the number of sub-steps and how the timers proceed. Technically Fabian’s solution will likely run slightly ahead of real time because of the inner loop condition.

You do get jitter from a changing number of sub-steps per variable step which is why you want to do things like the interpolation in Glenn’s solution. This is also why you still want to do everything in your power as a game developer to reduce the variance in real step size.

The article claims to translate the Akan term for these clothes:

However, a language blogger [1] suggests that "obroni" can refer to any foreigner from "beyond the horizon" - so presumably the term encompasses dead East Asian man's clothes too.

How much would you pay out of pocket to get the vaccine?

If you can explain to me how a monthly service where payment is required in full every month requires a credit agreement, I'll (don't know, do something crazy like eating my hat) - this is the standard service provider contract, for some reason it is considered a credit instrument and can land on your credit report.

That being said, you are right, there are prepaid options and postpaid with a deposit ($50) that can put you outside of this SSN requirement on T-Mobile. I guess you have to know to ask for them. It is for credit, that's the only reason they can ask for your SSN.

Everything is credit based now, and for some people their phone bill might even be their first positive (or negative) mark on a credit score rating.
Your analogy doesn't make sense since I'm paying the same amount either way - so of course I'll choose the Saturn V.

Perhaps a better analogy would be whether you want a fast but fragile kit car missing some features, or a well-built but slower caravan.

It's great to have new OSs that are actually new OSs, and that eschew the brain cancer UX that has taken over since about 2010. Since it seems to be a pet project and toy of the author and its community, I guess I can't really fault it per-se, but it is really strange to me that in its love for 90s UX it failed to implement a sane form of application management. It seems to have weirdly mixed bad ideas from Windows (installers) and UNIX (fixed paths), even though multiple 90s OSs got it right (MacOS, RiscOS, NeXT, even DOS to an extent). It is also a little off-putting that it explicitly "doesn't cater to non-technical users" when a pretty core part of personal computing back then was on ramping non-technical users to leveraging the power of a computer. I mean, don't get me wrong, a whole f'ing lot of evil has been done in the name of "making computing easier for non-technical people", but Serenity takes it to the extent that it doesn't have a live environment or installer and you have to compile it from source. I mean yeah, sure, hobby OS and all, but it just strikes me as missing a very essential component of 90s personal computing.
There's nothing unethical with culling an overpopulated species. We do it to deer, wolves, etc. all the time via hunting permits.

As long as wild biology subsists on killing and eating, there's no problem with humans doing the same in order to restore balance.

It also helps to reintroduce natural predators when possible. But in absence of that strategy, humans can do the job too.

Galileo's Error is philosopher Philip Goff's book stating his version of panpsychism - pretty impressive to have 20 or so academics interested enough in your idea to take potshots at it in a special journal issue! - but if you wondered as I did what was the specific error, I can save you a visit to google by suggesting this sci-am blog: [1].

> A key moment in the scientific revolution was Galileo’s declaration that mathematics was to be the language of the new science; the new science was to have a purely quantitative vocabulary. This is a much-discussed moment. What is less discussed is the philosophical work Galileo had to do to get to this position. Before Galileo, people thought the physical world was filled with qualities: there were colors on the surfaces of objects, tastes in food, smells floating through the air. The trouble is that you can’t capture these kinds of qualities in the purely quantitative vocabulary of mathematics. You can’t capture the spicy taste of paprika, for example, in an equation.

> This presented a challenge for Galileo’s aspiration to exhaustively describe the physical world in mathematics. Galileo’s solution was to propose a radically new philosophical theory of reality. According to this theory, the qualities aren’t really out there in the world, rather they’re in the consciousness of the observer. [...] when a tree comes crashing down in a forest, the crashing sound isn’t really in the forest, but in the consciousness of an onlooker. No onlooker, no consciousness, no sound.

> Galileo, as it were, stripped the physical world of its qualities; and after he’d done that, all that remained were the purely quantitative properties of matter—size, shape, location, motion—properties that can be captured in mathematical geometry.

I'd be surprised if many people here agreed with this POV, but (to me at least) it's a very interesting way to look at things.

Well, health care services are an ongoing expense. You pay doctors twice a month. Doctors expect to buy new things sometimes, not just "resources that already exist".

And it's fine to say "society can afford <x>" in isolation — we obviously have spent the money on the war, we obviously have spent money on health care. It's a question of trade-offs and whether spending money on the war is worth it. And that's really an awful lot of money to have spent on a war.

The risk we see today with money is that we're trying to make a lot more of it and we might find that it doesn't mean the resources we expected. Weekly earnings in the US are up $16/wk since January — but adjusting for inflation they're down $9/week.

I know this is about Lyme disease, but let me add another word of caution while we are discussing ticks. Two years ago I was bit by the Lone Star tick. Since that time I developed an allergy to all red meat. It was hard to diagnose and a few of the doctors I worked with along the years still don’t believe its true. If your interested in learning more search for Alpha Gal. There is an excellent Radio Lab podcast about it.
