No, that's definitely not the worst part. The worst part is there is no nice way to convert the abstract language from CSS 2.1, the part that everyone cares about right before JavaScript integration, into a standards-compliant algorithm. Why? Because no definition for it exists. It is left as an exercise to the reader.

WHATWG doesn't improve on this either, in fact, they completely leave it out, whereas at least W3C's original work makes it clear that it's descriptive and you need to figure out an algorithm that makes it work.

Edit: The section describing the processing model for CSS is non-normative. The authors provide an example flow, but a normative algorithm doesn't exist for CSS.[1]

A JIT compiler can elide a virtual method to a simple static call based on how many implementing classes are loaded at runtime, or can remove conditional branches from code (e.g. think of a setting whose boolean value is checked in a hot loop (for example something graphics related) - a JIT compiler will remove the conditional based on the setting used).

Fun fact, the linux kernel actually has something similar with self-modifying code, that will remove a conditional at runtime.
Yea, just like Intel has been milking existing customers. For monopolistic companies milking is their main business.
That is how the internet functioned for the past 35 years.
The main thing the CDN provided was nodes on basically every continent that kept the site in cache. Without those servers on every continent keeping the site in cache, it takes longer to get to the netherlands to get the site loaded. The speed of light is only so fast.

There is the NHANES dataset, which has a ton of blood/urine test data for various environmental contaminants, along with tons of other data columns like cancer diagnoses, age of onset, etc.
I totally agree. MiniZinc is a great tool to prototype solvers for combinatorial optimization problems. It's mature (but still growing) and has support for many different solvers, not only from the Constraint Programming/SAT family. You can easily switch to MIP solvers (like Gurobi) or even try some local search approaches.

It has very good documentation, reasonable IDE and AFAIK three great courses on Coursera for beginners. I have been teaching it myself[1] and all my students were amazed how quickly one can develop a working prototype for real-life industrial problems.

Yes, of course. I'm not reacting to the idea, so much as the "everyone MUST do this" implication.

It's probably not a bad idea to open a window or run a vent (depends on where you live, I guess), but I wouldn't panic or deploy a particle meter, or stop cooking if I couldn't do it, either.

Servo wasn't funded by donations, it was funded by Mozilla. That single point of failure was their downfall. I'll take 100 monthly donations over one corporate sponsor any day.
The moment that apple announced "privacy" as their focus I knew this was going to happen. They don't actually care about user privacy, but rather want exclusive rights to all of your data so that they can sell it for a markup. If you want to sell targeted ads to anyone using an Apple device, you'll have to let Apple do the targeting (and take their cut). Get customers locked into the apple ecosystem, "protect" them from non-apple marketers, and then sell access to the giant Apple userbase at a big cost.

What's really worrying is that having Apple gatekeep advertisers gives them the power to dictate what platforms can get ads vs what platforms can't. Letting Apple decide what platforms/services get their potential ad revenue cut in half is not a good thing.
EVs hardly generate any brake dust due to regenerative braking. It's not just a "slight" reduction and certainly not "awful" with them.
The diamond dependency problem is easy to avoid: Only allow namespaced/qualified includes, no shared libraries. There is no need for a package manager if the runtime does the work of resolving all includes, and these references have some kind of cryptographic integrity.

This can be completely transparent to the user. There's no need to have a separate program do dependency resolution when dependencies are referenced in source code. Instead we have the complete waste of life that is package manifests and shared libraries.
I think there are lots of things that a Senior should be better at, in fact anything that is part of the job:

* More emotionally mature

* More pragmatic

* More business aware

* More recruitment aware

* Better at whatever process you are running

* More security aware

* More performance aware

But more than all of this, ideally there would be an objective progression ladder to ensure they have actually done all of these things not just assume they have because they worked somewhere for 10 years and was called "Senior"
Just because they know they sent money in doesn't mean they know where and how the money was distributed on the way out. Which is literally the whole point of sanctioning it.
Sorry to be clear, I’m not claiming moderation is legally required, I’m claiming it effectively becomes necessary for a network to avoid stepping on landmines.

For example, it’s impossible to run a social network website of 100 million users without users uploading illegal content. Moderation is a necessity to avoid being taken down by the feds for hosting illegal content.

I agree that treasury doesn’t have the right to sanction code. They do have the right to ban exchanges from exchanging ETH. However, nobody wants that, so they’d rather try and extend their powers to effectively become ETH moderators.

Well, news regarding the plebiscite ate up any attempt to talk about the time change issue.

To clarify, this has been a constant from 2011. We jumped from a well defined schedule on March/October, to May/August, to DST all year round, to a new timezone for people down south, to the new April/September schedule… interrumpted by the plebiscite.

And well, "commissions" are always on the works to a definite schedule once and for all; but…

(BTW, for the person who said there are cities in lower longitudes than Punta Arenas: yes, but think of a country that goes from Tallinn [Estonia] to the south border of Egypt)
These absolutist arguments are not helpful. If one lives in a dense urban area, a car is just a nuisance most of the time. Avoiding car ownership and using a rental for an occasional trip likely makes more sense. If one can afford keeping it parked and insured most of the time, having a car available on short notice is convenient but not essential. On the other hand, I live in a sparsely populated region and I couldn't even go to the grocery without a car.

Any arguments relating to transportation are kind of pointless if not put within the right framework.

"available" : will read emails a few times per day and get back to you within x hours.

"on call": will respond on very short notice.

Yep, those people were you, specifically. You set wrong expectations and it bit you in the butt. And then instead of owning up to your mistake you blamed everyone but yourself.
Realistically (and I am not singling out Apple here), we are more and more captive of an ecosystem. My Android phone is needed to login to most online service through 2FA, I can pay with it, have my calendar and emails on it.

Losing my phone at this point is worse than losing my wallet and Apple is pushing for even tighter integrations with their customer's life which will ultimately centralize all that information.

Because moderate alcohol consumption is safe and enjoyable! That is the only reason necessary. Inevitably alcohol abuse leads to prohibitionism or at least teetotalism with very little regard to the virtue of moderation.

> So likewise when you're "done" you can squash and split them into changes that make more sense logically before pushing to some shared tree that someone else is going to have to reason about.

Which keeps context which is my point.

The other case that I see is squashing it all into one that simply says 'Implemented feature Y' which doesn't provide any context into why something was changed.

It's not necessarily the wheat itself, though residual glyphosate and other herbicides are a concern, it's more the industrial processing of it. Industrial baking is very different to traditional baking, and the proteins may be exposed to the immune system in very different ways as a result, i.e. different epitopes.
And yet the financial independence movement appears to be gaining momentum. Perhaps generalizations have some weaknesses.

Nope. 80% of top women exclusively go for 20% of top men (pareto principle, true numbers may vary).

Either the average male doing online dating is significantly less attractive than the average male generally, or women have very high standards.

I should clarify I'm talking about the American system. Doctors pay for access to ResMed data. It's a convenience; otherwise the patient has to carry the SD card into the doctor's office and hope they bother to upload and analyze it. (Yes, this is stupid.)

While I'm at it, patients really interested in their sleep apnea data can use OSCAR or https://sleephq.com/ to analyze the data from the ResMed SD card themselves. These don't use the cloud service. ResMed also has a limited site for the patient themselves to see a limited version of their cloud data.
Big companies can excert influence and change behaviours. Consider this as a drug dealer who gives you a free trial.
This is correct, and it's why most open-source software will never have much in the way of users:

> They're written from the perspective of the developers

And I get it. A few years back I had an open-source project [1] get users and it was terrible. What had previously been a fun technical exercise became a pain in the ass that felt a lot like actual work. I was relieved when my hardware broke and I had an excuse to archive the project.

But that does create a huge gap that mostly gets filled by commercial interests.

>I've heard this a lot. It seems a point of contention. I don't see how people don't depend on work for some level of social interaction. How can one want to spend 1/3 of their life not giving a fuck about the people they work with? How can someone want to sit at a computer banging out useless shit for faceless corporations and not have the conciliation of suffering through it with people you know and like?

I have enough social connections with family, my girlfriend and friends made in university, other activities, school, etc. I don't need to make friends at work tbh, I understand if others do, and that is one motivation to return to the office but please for the love of god, don't make me waste 3hs of my daily life because you need that.
Same reason that self driving cars have plateaued. The things that are really important for that last mile are also really hard and we're not really sure how to get there.

The output between all the major AI image synthesis tools, while impressive, is quite clearly very high dimensional interpolation, and it shares the same limitations in that space as it does the 2d space. We've already thrown insane amounts of data and compute resources at the problem and it's made the things that were done well in the past even better but doesn't move us towards solving the hard parts.
-- by the same token - it's a bit uncouth to support and provide frameworks of legitimacy for "future focused technology projects" - however not enable services that account for edge cases in said new systems - I generally agree with you - but playing the devils advocate a bit - the crypto folks should probably be able to wash their "cash" if the reporting parameters are implemented correctly - no? --
Society functions precisely because we have collectively agreed to acknowledge that the individual is not the highest and only form of authority. Formally, we agree to follow the laws in place. Informally, we agree to act with respect to each other. This requires some form of self sacrifice on our part. By swearing allegiance to the King, or a President, we are saying "I am willing to follow the rules which result from your exercise of power". These laws are the ones delegated through our legislative and judicial systems - the King in our case does not exercise it himself in Canada. Sure it's symbolic, but so is making a promise to a friend. Keeping our word is important to us. We could swear it to someone further down the line, like to "all police officers", but I think that would be far less self-respecting than forging that agreement with the highest level of power directly.

Don't get me wrong, I am not some rabid anti-republican, republics absolutely do work! But I think monarchies also work, and each have different benefits. A republic is more representative demographically speaking, for example, whereas a monarchy is more impartial and has a stronger line of succesion to name a few distinct traits. I don't feel like our system is broken, nor do I feel that a republic would solve any problems (and it may come with its own fresh ones).

The "In modern times" argument comes up a lot, but I'm not sure it applies. Just because something is old, even anachronistic, does not mean it is invalid. In fact, such things are more valuable precisely because they are no longer found today. However, I think you are right in that there is a disconnect between these rituals and symbols and our modern conception of society, and that is why I think Canada has poorly managed the relationship between monarch and everyday people, and let the institution decay. One solution is to rebuild everything from the ground up with a republic, and its not going to be the end of the world, but I am personally in favour of renewing our longstanding existing commitment.
This. I hate hearing people whine about "still a junior engineer at 25" or boasting that they "reached senior engineer at 24 after 3 years" or whatever nonsense. It's apples and oranges between companies.

I think the same. When they do AR I believe they’ll do it much better than anyone else. They’ll be some really cool feature that will make people flock to it, like apps on the iPhone.
>I suspect there are benefits to having the monarchy as head of state

Genuinely curious what those would be?

I think it's far from the most urgent issue our country is facing right now, but most of my objections to the monarchy would be moral or philosophical.

For one, in moral terms there is a lot of... let's say "historical baggage" that comes with the monarchy. For another, I don't think a hereditary system of governance is compatible with modern Canadian society (or at least what we would like to think it should be).

Not something that keeps me up at night, I don't think it will be removed any time soon mostly due to inertia, but I would definitely not be opposed to removing it.
But I did. Maybe youre too biased.
Poorer people are more obese is only true in richer countries or in countries where the poor doesn’t have to starve. As for why poor people are more obese in well-off countries. Again, it’s the path of least resistance. Poor people are generally less educated and less likely to think long term. It's easier to eat junk food than to put in the time and effort to make a well balance meal.

Btw, I'm not blaming the poor, being poor is hard. I grew up under the poverty line. Overcoming poverty is a huge task and more should be done.
of course linux was created to compete with other unixes. it's literally baked into the name. competition transcends 'product' as you seem to be using it, which seems to be something akin to 'formal market offering'. linus meant to create an OS for a segment that he thought was underserved (OS hobbyists). it competed from the beginning with other OSes for mindshare and usage (but not necessarily for end-use). so you're really just distinguishing the segment served, not competition (other than to say it likely won't be competitive outside its niche).

more than that, i don't think this framing does you any good with the segment this browser is targeting, as developers still want others to recognize their (good) work. but that's fine, as there's plenty of time to develop the brand (and yes, brand also exists outside of being a formal product).

This commonly cited ”survey” sponsored by LendingClub includes so many things in “paycheck to paycheck” that it devalues the spirit of the word entirely.

Do you use a credit card to pay for your goods, even if you have auto-pay on and pay it off easily each month?

You’re now living paycheck to paycheck, according to these folks. And because of that you should check out our fantastic offers over at LendingClub!

If you take a look at their somewhat-less-weakened definition of the term, “living paycheck to paycheck with difficulty”, the number is ~20%.
It wouldn't be that much of a problem, but I think there's enough room for confusion, that I think people just wouldn't bother with it. For example, while it would be obvious that /tiθ/ is "teeth", something like /bad/ could be "bad" emphasized, or "bod". It wouldn't be that hard to disambiguate, but it is a little extra strain on the reader.

Most of the time, italics aren't actually all that important though, and could easily be replaced with other linguistic features.

Edit, another thing is that the slashes is actually graphemic notation, not phonetic. There's no reason that you have to use something modeled off the IPA there, it's just common to do so. You could use any alphabet.
There's a meme I've seen making the rounds that is something like - junior engineer: screenshot of code, engineer: screenshot of code, senior engineer: screenshot of zoom.

To me, what a non-senior engineer and a senior engineer do are so different that they ought to be different career tracks, but this progression seems depressingly organic and inevitable. The more experience you get, the more people come to you for answers. The more people who come to you for answers, the more involved you are in the big things. The more you involved you are in the big things, the less time you have to code.

It seems crazy to me that you would spend so much time and effort mastering the arcana of coding only to let it go unused later in your career. It's like if a virtuoso musician were told that he can't play music anymore. He needs to move on to conducting, and after that composing. And he can't just stay at his current level and keep doing what he's been training for years to do. If he wants a future with this orchestra, he needs to exhibit career growth. The expanding business has no place for stagnant employees.

Some business somewhere ought to make an effort to let the virtuoso coders keep doing their thing, and break out the engineers who want to go into system design as a separate career track.
