it says it on the page, it's required because otherwise parsing will need unbounded lookahead, since any rule could also be a selector

>Nesting style rules naively inside of other style rules is, unfortunately, ambiguous—the syntax of a selector overlaps with the syntax of a declaration, so an implementation requires unbounded lookahead to tell whether a given bit of text is a declaration or the start of a style rule.

>For example, if a parser starts by seeing color:hover ..., it can’t tell whether that’s the color property (being set to an invalid value...) or a selector for a <color> element. It can’t even rely on looking for valid properties to tell the difference; this would cause parsing to depend on which properties the implementation supported, and could change over time.

>Requiring directly-nested style rules to use nest-prefixed selectors works around this problem—an & can never be part of a declaration, so the parser can immediately tell it’s going to be parsing a selector, and thus a nested style rule.

>Some non-browser implementations of nested rules do not impose this requirement. It is, in most cases, eventually possible to tell properties and selectors apart, but doing so requires unbounded lookahead in the parser; that is, the parser might have to hold onto an unknown amount of content before it can tell which way it’s supposed to be interpreting it. CSS to date requires only a small, known amount of lookahead in its parsing, which allows for more efficient parsing algorithms, so unbounded lookahead is generally considered unacceptable among browser implementations of CSS.
I mean you're basically describing why protectionism exists.

Of course cheaper labor will displace more expensive labor, but that is quite literally why these jobs exist. Pay alone is not the reason the UK has a driver shortage, it's also the entire lifestyle that comes with it.

The EU works on the idea that you can work anywhere (with some restrictions) not too different from how this works in different US states. Over a sufficiently long period of time the differences in pay in the EU will move closer. Not entirely, but quite a bit. And that is the long game that will solve these problems more than to restrict labor markets.
And if we held cars to the same safety standard as the 737 Max actually achieved, I suspect nobody would be allowed to drive. The odds of something going wrong were only just on the wrong side of 1 in a million.

You're talking about a lapse in safety relative to an industry that is 2nd only to Nuclear power in doing no harm. In absolute terms they were still reasonably safe.

My initial guess is that it's because Icestorm CPUs have less L1 and L2 cache, resulting in more frequent cache misses in complex loops. I'm by no means an expert in any of this, so I really have no place hypothesising.

Firestorm has 128KB L1 per core and 12MB shared L2.

Icestorm has 64KB L1 per core and 4MB shared L2.

storing log values helps with the multiply part of multiply and add.

But it seems like it would make the add part of multiply and add quite a bit more difficult.
They may just be concerned about ticking a box that your product has 24/7 support. In that case you could charge a smaller retainer and a large per incident fee. This would align the value they recieve with what they have to pay. It also incentivies them not to bother you unless it is a critical issue.

If they do require a flat fee, I would try to cap the number of incidents. This will force them to place value on support requests and not take advantage of the SLA.

You'll need to be explicit when defining the scope of the SLA. If there is an issue with your product that is impacting production, that seems like a reasonable support request. Alternatively, if they want consulting services or training that may be beyond the scope of the SLA. I've had expierence with customers who open a support request, only to request consulting services.
This document was released in 2020, so it's a fairly recent FOIA document. Interesting quote from the document, "Necessarily, the relay aircraft must remain outside of denied territory, and
the size of components in the operational vehicle is such that only UHF is available for its control and navigation."

It's pretty cool to see the remote-controlled remote-piloted drone concept was pioneered way back then.

It's pretty interesting to see they had ~100 people working at area 51 (9 for Aquiline), and were trying to find the best and most cost effective aircraft to transport them from Vegas to there.

Particularly interesting is the redacted cost line: "* 50 Seats for two months @ $10, 604/mo. Until XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I ultimately found my place while being shown around by an estate agent.

I did a lot of browsing on https://www.pureportugal.co.uk, and the place I ended up buying was listed on there, but I'd actually discounted it for some reason.

I know some people here to buy without seeing the property but – generally speaking – I think it is a false economy. This is because:

1 - Places can look much different online. I suspect I discounted my current place because the photos were taken on a cloudy day in the winter

2 - Even in person – and if buying land – it can be really hard to know how the place looks. This is because many places are REALLY overgrown. I had entire terraces which were the depth of a person in brambles. I've known people who have found entire buildings when clearing the undergrowth.

3 - The cost of a trip to Portugal was pretty minimal compared to the cost of buying. Depends on where you are coming from though.

Happy to chat more about this. You can find my contact information on my profile / website.

If we were being fair one party wouldn't be allowed to buy a shelter and rent it to someone who has less means than them.

It's hard to feel pity for someone who owns and rents three properties, yet wants us to believe they are without recourse, such as renting a temporary domicile herself.

The government also shut down businesses which means people like the tenant lost their jobs and ability to pay.

All this is frighteningly prescient with regards to the first generation to receive no SSI, no retirement, no way to make money, and yet will have to pay rent until the day they die.

Ask HN: Op'ed on Incident Fixing via SSH
Some years ago an opinionated article got linked on HN which discussed whether debugging or fixing incidents via SSH is a smell.
As far as I can remember the article said that SSHing is already too late and everything a human would do at that stage should be fixed earlier by logging, tracing, metrics and well-defined procedures.

Can someone please link me the article?

> Anyway, I think it's an attractive fantasy among American engineers that low-waged workers are happy and uncomplicated and untormented by the same demons that torture the more sophisticated souls that sling code for a living.

Overall, i agree with you. However, having worked both IT and non-IT jobs, and residing in a very low income neighborhood in western Europe, i have the feeling (nothing objective/scientific) that non-IT folks have a class consciousness that they're being screwed and they should worry as little as possible about work-related problems as long as they have a roof over their heads. Workers are usually conscious that the boss/manager is an exploitative asshole and that customers can be abusive entitled brats (however if the situation in the USA is 1/10th as bad as US TV shows suggest, then i can say for sure the situation here in Europe is really different and outside of luxury shops, workers eg. cashiers/waiters are expected to be treated with respect and the customer is not royalty).

While in the IT world, there's a devotion to the entire capitalist apparatus and a denial of exploitative/abusive relationships, which appears to lead to greater mental anxiety and cognitive dissonance. I've seen plenty of people suffer from work-related injuries and handicaps, but in other fields than IT, i've never seen people willingly and consciously overwork themselves to that point.

That's a very subjective, limited view of the topic, and i don't mean in any way that IT jobs aren't more comfortable than manual labor. But not every IT job is comfortable and the startup/company culture makes it very hard to say no to your boss, ensuring a culture of self-exploitation leading to burnout. In other fields, we have strong unions and habits to make the boss' life miserable by stealing supplies or sabotaging work... i don't hear of so many equivalents in the IT industries.
I don't really see Docker having that much of an alternative - they have to figure out some way to make money and none of their other attempts have worked.

That being said, since the core docker tech is free, this will surely just cause some free alternative to DD to spring up in the relatively short term, and accelerate the move away from Docker in general, which has been happening for a while.
ikr. Reading HN posts based on MSM fake news is "really difficult."

Examples of fake news repeated on HN:

- corona wasn't a lab leak

- Jan. 6 protesters killed 5 people (4 were natural causes, 1 was by Capitol police.)

- Marxism "is the majority" and gives you the right to cancel other people.

- masks prevent corona transmission (the most common masks are only 5% effective.)

So how do we prevent HN from repeating fake news?
The variance goes to 0 only if you normalize, which is to say that two random high-dimensional vectors are very likely to be close to orthogonal (under mild assumptions on their distribution).

I agree that that's one of those important but initially unintuitive facts about high dimensions. Just like almost all of the volume of a reasonably round convey body is near its surface. But it also doesn't really contradict the GP comment.
I didn't realize map-reduce was so much slower than a regular looped multiplication, regardless of the hardware the code was running on.

Your PC uses 60w idling? Is that with screen? It's not too much in that case. CPUS and GPUS have gotten a lot better at idle power consumption, and PSUs are also quite efficient these days.
I looked at this in some detail and concluded that the real answer was to use Phoenix (i.e. Elixir). It's much better, and much better supported than any of the Erlang options.

Elixir and Erlang interoperate well so if you want to stick with Erlang you can do the Web bits in Elixir and then do all the lower pieces in Erlang. What happened to me though is that I discovered that Elixir is great, and so is it's tooling.

> The long term trend has been greatly softening attitudes towards immigration.

I strongly dispute this. The UK has anything but a softened attitude towards immigration in recent years. It was bad enough that it made me leave because I felt the longer term trend is not going to be good for me and my family and I'm a white European. You might not see it as much if you're not directly affected, but the discourse on the news and social media in the UK has degraded greatly since Brexit and that even happens on some rural public busses now.

I think the UK both wants to think of itself as world open, but a huge part of the population does not like it. Now it's conflicted of what it wants as a country.
Protectionism vs open markets, nothing needs to be black and white.

You are just re-iterating the tiresome mantra of the EU beneficiaries 'in the end it will all work out for you too'. Except, maybe not in your lifetime.

It is a fundamental neo liberal viewpoint, and I admit in my opinion Labor (parties) have abandonded their constituency since the mid-80s.

And I think that needs to change, and if it takes a bit of protectionism, so what.
> Answer: Ruby on Rails. Not Erlang.

Can you justify this?

If you knew them all equally well I would suggest that Elixir and Phoenix would be an excellent choice, although I am definitely stretching the definition of "Erlang" to include Elixir.

Gov. Neusome did a great job on ADU's, but you need a house to put the unit in, or around. What happened is wealth people realized they could remodel their home while putting in a small apartment.

When begging for a variance for their bigger home, and guaranteed ADU thanks to Neusome, they promise to rent the ADU out to low income tenants.

They get their variance, build a ADU, and turn the ADU into another room for themselfs.

The wealthy are foxey.

(I'm looking at you San Anselmo. I see you are now granting Variances, but they appear to be given out to favorite homeowners? I hope this is not what it appears. For years, my little town gladly took in a $1000 fee for a variance, but never ok'ed one.)

> But, my feeling is that many Linux distributions are now only slightly harder to use than MacOS or Windows. The only things really stopping average people from using Linux are ignorance of the issues and laziness. They simply are not willing to spend the time to understand their need for privacy and good software. Nor are they willing to spend a few hours learning the basics of Linux.

They will just Google it themselves on their Windows or MacOS machine, rather than installing whatever 'Linux' distro you want them to.

Why waste time installing a 'Linux' distro when WSL exists and they can continue to use Windows but have a Linux ecosystem sitting in a VM.

> If we wait much longer, we may lose Linux as a viable option.

Exactly. it's called Fuchsia and it is going to replace Android and ChromeOS. Better hurry up then.

I think podman is a lot easier than docker. You can stop all containers easily (without xargs)

podman stop -a

or you can mount the current directory

podman run -v .:/mnt

or you can mount while you build

podman build -v /dir:/dir

or you can work entirely without root and have the same user on the host also in the container:

podman run --userns=keep-id

(useful when a directory is mounted into container but the application refuses to run as root)

edit: Sorry - I missed your last sentence on first reading - so yes it's taxes.

Danmark is a huge outlier in terms of how much it taxes household electricity consumption. Including VAT, nearly 70% of a Danish household electricity is tax. Non-households are taxed much more lightly. This is a policy decision I guess to encourage more efficient utilisation.

But the actual wholesale cost of electricity in Denmark is very low because of their use of cheap wind power.

I don't have anything more up-to-date than this[1] which is for 2019 but the second page shows a bar graph where the level of tax on household electricity is shown.

The target of the activist is not the government, it is other citizens. The goal is to increase the disapproval and outrage above the activation energy of government agencies or legislatures. Anti-nuke activism hit as the first wave of the environmental movement was peaking (think anti-pollution efforts against some really, really bad industrial practices and the anti-litter movement) and it also pulled in a large swathe of anti-war activists who were looking for their next mission after the Vietnam war wound down. Combine these with some genuine hubris on the part of the nuclear energy industry and a public that has a hard time assessing actual risk and you get a perfect storm of sorts. It was easy to pass regulations and laws that made nuclear more difficult to deploy and casually ignore the consequence that this had on making petroleum products and coal the only viable alternatives.
