Sure — that’s why we’ve spent five years with terrible Star Wars and Marvel movies pandering to a niche audience.

But eventually the music stops and everyone leaves… which is what we’re seeing now:

Those companies haven’t produced quality within easy memory (5 years) and so people are overcoming their decades of inertia to find new properties.

You can look at the different receptions of Reacher and Terminal List versus Wheel of Time and Rings of Power, though, to see that putting The Message over quality doesn’t work.

> After Googling a bit, that Rippaverse thing seems like it's an opposite-polarity reaction, so it's still part of the problem.

You should listen to Rippa’s own description rather than the press around it:

He’s just trying to make a quality comic book, no explicit message.

That’s portrayed as “anti-woke” because not putting The Message front and center is a revolutionary act, these days.
Nobody knows if their product will succeed until it's built. But here's some practical things you can do to reduce the risk of failure.
They were on Facebook.

They still are, but they were too.
Operational overhead and increased liability for lawsuits, I imagine.
Pipe output to mdless (or similar) and it will be readable even more
Directed RF interference oriented at the speakers might work, and could be physically concealed, but will almost certainly be illegal - as well as posing a risk to people with e.g pacemakers and maybe self-driving vehicles. And traceable with an RF spectrum analyser.

Counterphase directed audio? Probably impractical due to range and visible speaker pods.

But obviously the main problem is that you'd be going up against an adversary that is potentially able to use intimidation and violence, and it appears that you don't have recourse to a properly functioning legal system. There are no technological countermeasures against that.
The issue is that the person who ends up suffering isn't the developer that writes the CSS. It's the person who has to use the website.

If I'm trying to find a local emergency room, I really don't want to have to waste time because a developer wrote (or some tool generated!) slow CSS.
This is what it was like for me. Last thing I remember from my surgery, they loaded me up with some Valium, and then placed a mask over my face. I remember breathing a few times and then nothing, instantly faded to black. The however many hours later I woke post surgery, without recall of anything.

I've also fainted from blood pressure drops and that was a lot different. That was much more dreamlike, I remember lying on the floor contemplating whether I should get up or if I was just dreaming. It was all very quick, but felt much slower.
"However, the Jargon File reports that considerable overlap existed for the early phreaking at the beginning of the 1970s. An article from MIT's student paper The Tech used the term hacker in this context already in 1963 in its pejorative meaning for someone messing with the phone system."

This is great. I have a D5000 lying around, I've given up on DSLR photography on holiday since my iPhone is smaller and better at video and photography in dark places and about 10000x smaller and lighter, but I just couldn't sell my Nikon. Happy to see the company being dedicated to its customers after such a long time.
It appears to me "Bitch all you want but ... " [emphasis mine] has changed meanings between GGP and this comment.

From "You can grumble all you want in this article but those complaints pale in comparison to Signals contributions which are above your trivial reproach."

To "No product is above reproach, your complaints are entirely valid and I was saying this all along."

It's also possible I just missed the entire point of GGP entirely, for which I apologize if so.
lol, no. If you pay a massive markup over msrp, you've just lit that money on fire when things normalize and you go to sell.
Thanks, but no wireless speakers, I already check for that.
It isn't classist bullshit at all, it's human psychology observable and testable even on small scales. Try this experiment!

Detail clean your car meticulously, and on separate occasions, ask friends to come with you to get some fast food. Notice how much trash they leave behind in the car when they're done - probably none.

Now, deliberately make your car interior messy and dirty. Run the same test again with different friends, and observe that more trash has been left behind.

Humans naturally conform to the expectations of society, which they interpret based partially on environmental cues of their surroundings. When those environmental cues advertise social expectations of lawlessness, uncaring, and valuelessness, behavior alters to match expectations.
…interesting.

So, looking at technical solutions, one thought is using active noise cancelling. Basically, use a microphone (or several) to cause destructive interference of the sound and reduce the amplitude in your home. While this would not solve the issue for others, it would potentially help you.

I could see it being done using a measurement or other high quality calibrated microphone (miniDSP umik as an example) hooked up to a raspberry pi, which then outputs sound to another amp and some full range speakers. It may help with the more annoying sounds, but is unlikely to drown out lower frequencies and resonances in the building proper.

While I’m not an audio engineer (just an amateur speaker builder and audiophile) I am quite curious to see if there is a solution.
How about no?

Why do we need to add further complexity into the already complex thing that are browsers?

As the post mentions at the beginning, this can already be done with pre-processing. What do we gain by having more syntax sugar?
I'm in favor with option 1 (@nest, &).

Reasoning: I do not see much sense in the use of additional brackets (option 3), since "&" already serves as a separator. I also do not see much sense in the use of the more verbose "@nest" (option 2), since conventional selector syntax uses single-character keywords already and there is no real parallel to things like "@media" or "@page" (as this isn't related to rendering and formats).
I know there are some tools that generate dependency graphs. Their accuracy and workings are very dependent on the language you want to use. I think Visual Studio had something like that integrated for C# at least, possibly for other languages too.

But there are some other tools for languages like JavaScript where such a graph generation might be a bit more involved.

There are some tools for architectures too, but I have never used them. For VSCode I know of Code Graph that might visualize usages of function etc.
specially because it is asymmetric.
I remember seeing this played and thinking it was small and cruel. As a standup comedian talking about his work, Joe Rogan once observed that all laughter is an involuntary physical response, which was an acknowledgement of what comedy is and can be on a deeper level.

A lot of practical jokes (certain kinds of hazing, gotcha interview techniques, elaborate gaslighting, simple harassment) are to comedy what conceptual art is to craftsmanship, where the perpetrator is using art and humour as cover for what is really just propaganda, morbid fixations, and aggression. They're an impostors trope. Comedic genius is in the apprehension and expression of paradoxes, it's a kind of magic trick that creates a flash of insight from the setting up and collapsing expectations with reality, and necessarily, a comedians intelligence is inversely proportional to the stupidity he affects in the setup.

The very best comedy is an expression of magnanimity, where the comedian manages to elevate and forgive the butt of his joke while still taking them down. The audience is involuntarily given the sense of a shared absurd human experience, and not just pandered to. A great example of that difference is how Stephen Colbert ultimately became what John Stewart stepped back from to avoid becoming, which is unfunny.

"No soap, radio," isn't really an anti-joke or surreal, it's more like a kind of perfidy where someone is just being a PoS under the safety of a protected pretext (art, joke, injury, etc). Physical humour can be brilliant (Mr. Bean, Emo Phillips, etc) but that's not practical joking either. Anyway, maybe I've overthought it but I think it's courage and magnanimity (literally, the greatness of soul) that separates the comedians from the clowns.
Since we're talking about cool toys from back in the day, let me ask if anybody can help me with something. I had a cool toy back in the late 70's, early 80's, and I'd occasionally like to mention it or refer to it (or maybe even indulge nostalgia and try to find one on ebay to buy) but I can't remember what it was called.

Does anybody remember something like this: a wheeled toy that I vaguely recall had stylings something like a tank or an APC or something - or maybe one of those weird vehicles from Damnation Alley[1] - but with a bunch of buttons on top with numbers and directional arrows. You could "program" the thing to roam around on its own by pushing a sequence of directional arrows and numbers. It was something like "Go forward 5 units, turn left, go 4 units", etc. I don't even know now what distance units it used, or if the speed was programmable. Once you programmed it there was a "Go" button that would send it off on its little adventure crawling around the living room (and promptly getting stuck under the TV stand or something, but that's neither here nor there).

I have done this but it is not really a matter of "opting in". This is simply paying more for removing ads. People on the cheaper plans do not get to check a box to opt out of an ad. The price for the ad free plan is almost double that of the plan with ads ($13 vs $7).

> Is it "reality" to be constantly nagged/threatened/scared to agree with all kinds of contradictory things in every possible place?

Yes.

but also (in the US) that mass shootings are happening on an increasing basis, fascism is on the rise, women no longer have a right to abortion, corporations are given increasing amounts of personhood, the medical system is broken, infrastructure is falling apart, covid - and all that entails, a huge chunk of the population is brainwashed into thinking the election was rigged and refuses to acknowledge evidence to the contrary...

but yeah, also, ads.

2) Plenty of other boats, why bother killing a dog and make lots of noise?

Generally speaking weapons are a problem on boats. Many countries will require you to have a permit for it, which can be problematic to obtain. At the very least you have to declare it, which probably also means handing it over to the harbor authorities. Which means you don't have it when you would be most at risk and most need it.

Second, say you solve the above and decide to deploy the gun. You don't have a lot of time, and you don't know if the approaching boat is a pirate or a local fisherman who wants to sell you a fish. Make the wrong call, and bad things happen.

Say you solved the permit/registration issue by hiding the gun and then you deploy the gun. Bad things happen. Ok, it might have been justified and might have saved your life, but you are still probably going to jail for not declaring the weapon.
When my daughter was three years old and diagnosed with cancer (stage 4). To say it was "life changing" would be an understatement. It fundamentally changed who I am in a way I can't really express. It changed me in many positive ways and negative ways. With regards to my life, I can distinctly draw a line between "pre-diagnosis" and "post-diagnosis".

A second life changing event happened a few years after her diagnosis when I read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius. I think the book hit me at the right time and place in my life and helped me really process things that I couldn't before.

Question: Wouldn't create that noise for others, while cancelling most of the noise for you? The sound waves you create for cancelling cancels sound at one point, but keeps moving and creates noise beyond that. Isn't it?

Life changing is an understatement for them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but my interpretation of the lookahead is that performance only degrades once CSS becomes deeply nested.

That the need to lookahead only applies to syntax nested within another block.

It's not a realistic use case for somebody to nest CSS more than a few levels deep, and if the lookahead is a known part of the spec it would become a best practice not to excessively nest things.

So with side by side implementations, what's the cost in time/CPU of a realistically scoped CSS file with a realistic level of nesting? That's the answer I'd like to know.

Optimizing for an avoidable theoretical worst case shouldn't be a major consideration in design.

The net result of using a weird syntax for nesting is that developers will just keep using preprocessors forever because they're far more ergonomic. So all the spec saves is some built file size, while not improving anything about the development process
One of the challenges of our modern society is that we've eliminated so much self-respect, after all look at social media. Without self-respect, you cannot build respect for others and their property. It is no surprise then that these types of incidents have become more brazen and more common. Any self-respecting person, then must determine how best to deal with this, because you cannot rely on others whether that be the police, the government, your community, or the would-be thieves themselves.
I think you might like to watch this YouTube Video on "How The Best Hackers Learn Their Craft"(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vj96QetfTg). David Brumley speaks about his experience with getting students integrated but the skill grid he shows might be what you're looking for.

At some points, it is just getting to the answer no matter the method (algorithm, memory, quick trick etc.) At the end of the day, it's still just problem solving and learning existing tools better.

Kinda having one right now. Would like advice.

My FIL died very recently.

We were close.

It was expected, though quicker somehow. I'm to fill the big shoes.

My first was born ~ 3 months ago.

They're a joy I didn't know I could have and fill a hole in me that I didn't know was there.

I'm so confused right now.

The grief, the joy, so close together.

My life has changed, totally, but it's all just getting through the sleepless nights now.

I need to do more for my family, but I'm just exhausted.

What can I do to set them up for success like my FIL did?

What, in 5 years time, will I regret having not done?

Thanks for any advice.
as one who has actually experience the full range of hearing and having lost it in varied decreasing frequency range and reducing decibel level … TWICE over my lifespan, you would be wise to investigate Cochlear Implant as soon as economically feasible.

Most US health plan insurance companies will defray the cost of CI surgery (starts at $33,000 total) by knocking 80% off; 90% off, if having a premium health plan).

I’ve actually gained something that I never had before: higher frequency (8Khz+) so now I can distinguish between similar IPA inflections like e, v, b, t, p, Z, and d; and that is the greatest feeling in the world.

You may also pick up strange things like staircase creaking, distant flatulent, different insect buzz, and best of all, distinguishes bird song.

The only downside is that if you were musically-inclined, pitch-perfect, or a musical-savant, then you WILL be disappointed because instead of an average human being able to discriminate some 1000 different audible frequency, you will be limited to around 32 narrow bands. Behind the ear processor will fully capture the full hearing spectrum and spread that across those 32 bands. This is where CI-specialized audiologist will spend a couple of months doing the “map” those hearing frequency span into your limited number of bands.

But hey, it is far better to hear further and recapture your missing frequency range just to be able to interact with society verbally, assuming you have had that trained experience. Also another factor is your prior childhood auditorial exposure and the extent of your speech and language development then; all are easily recaptured through CI-specialized speech therapists depending on your willingness to relearn; Most do.

Of course, it goes without saying, you can alternatively learn how the Deaf culture functions with Federal assistance of making phone calls for you, adding signaler throughout your house (think SmartHome), and pick up a new language called American Sign Language. I’ve done all that as well.

So, CI may be your best option. Contact your local audiologist to get started.

I also had anesthesia for the first time as an adult, but I did kind of feel something as I was going under. It felt like my mind was melting away, and at the same time my hearing was fading out. It was kind of a pleasant feeling to be honest.

Yes, some people use spraypaint to make stunning, socially relevant art. Banksy is, in some sense, a graffiti artist.

But most graffiti has nothing to do with Banksy-esque social commentary. In fact, much of it is simply gang signs labeling areas of turf control. The people writing these gang sign messages are absolutely not interested in having a specific, authorized place in which to exhibit their street artwork.

It sounds (hah) like the device has a bad model for the one you're using it in. Given you can't get a refund, it would be interesting to see if it works in other devices better. the conversion of the barrel plug from one, to two, then three, and four, makes for some "interesting" problems in how they disambiguate the microphone from audio signal in the plugging. I have from time to time had to use intermediary cables which separate out the functions: a Rode+ microphone for instance I simply could not directly plug into my devices.

My guess is they inverted the logic of tip and ring: the muffled sound may be that its leakage across, not actually the prime signal.

But that said, if you can turn off ANC and it works fine, then yes: its about something else which can include its bust.
They never had the intention of letting him use his unlimited bandwidth. So, claiming it's unlimited is a lie.

Specifically, it's misleading publicity. AFAIK, that's an issue in Germany. They did the bare minimum to not get into any legal issues, but if they insist on the publicity message, they will very likely have problems.

They really shouldn't try to mimic an US company.

I have a Fuji camera, and there’s a new firmware update available which ‘fixes’ a potential dataloss condition by setting the max number of objects to be stored per a DCF folder to be 999 from 9999.I haven’t yet updated since my workflow has a bunch of scripts which expected filenames per folder to be 4 digits.

I should update my scripts, but my immediate observation though were that this seems like a bandaid solution? And not sure if it even follows the spec, afaik it allows for up to 9999 _files_ per directory but some DCF objects can take up multiple files (eg a THM thumbnail and the JPEG).
The details on the bug are sparse too, how is MacOS not seeing data written to an SDXC card, is it corrupting it? Is it a filesystem limitation for 9999 files, or an actual Mac OS bug?
