The CSS Color (Level 4) spec allows you to interpolate in any color space that you can specify colors in, and all of these four are considered useful to specify colors in. (Or at least useful enough to make it into the spec :-) ) This leads to some redundancy in this specific context, but the alternative would be disallowing three of them in interpolation only, for no good reason at all.

> Slack had a multi-hour total sitewide outage earlier this year that came from attempting to turn it on.

I don't particularly want to defend DNSSEC here but Slack picked Route 53, who both have had and continue to have well known compliance issues with DNS, and they expected them to get DNSSEC right. I'm a little surprised it's gone as well as it has and that they still have DNSSEC on.

Apple's recent revisiting of DNSSEC is possibly the only glimmer of hope for more mainstream adoption of DNSSEC. Their software's got a large installed base and their API is opt-in for DNS consuming software. It'd be nice if more DNSSEC implementations made DNSSEC opt-in but the evangelical DNSSEC set wouldn't abide that.

> I think we've more or less established that a top-down government-controlled PKI is not the future of Internet security. Ending the 26-year DNSSEC boondoggle would free us up to explore alternate models with clearer, more realistic trust models.

I don't think that's clear at all. What is clear is that the DNS hasn't moved much in that period and that the only things that have been adopted are things that authorities and resolvers can silently implement. Putting a fork in DNSSEC won't change much. At this point whatever replaces DNS will be how this space gains some security.
>I have no idea what this is saying. It sounds like you're shitting on statistics all of a sudden, which is weird, given that you seemed to favor mathematicians in the first part.

Mathematicians are specialized in problem solving, and as humans, their ability to predict and analyze data makes them more reliable developing models than a statistical equation. They have quite more tools than statistics one.

Someway, it is like if using the acronym AI to define statistical algorithms leads to a false sense of greater reliability than such human review, or even that it is not needed a deep human review. ML statistics takes algorithms out of the oven long before mathematicians does, at the expense of a big in accuracy difference.

The problem I think is people may take important decisions based in the result of such statistical algorithms without questioning
are OG form elements actually reimplemented in shadow DOM, like they're doing with open UI (https://open-ui.org/) custom elements?

i've seen safari and chrome (but not firefox) expose some form input components as shadow DOM (e.g., slots), but wasn't sure if it was actually reimplemented.
You think somebody checks? On anything, ever?

The guy who did it was the water guy, not some random.
I don't even use chrome, nor do I develop against it.

I find it funny how every year there is another "Is Rails being relevant in $YEAR" article or two posted. I love Rails and still think it's a great framework, piece of technology for building companies (but you don't need to take my word for it: https://stackshare.io/rails). However, I also worked professionally and in a hobby cadpacity with Rails and been bitten by it too.

I can say from experience Ruby is not for everyone.

Rails is a tool, and it depends on _what_ you need to do with that tool. If today I needed to build a basic web app quickly and wanted minimal cognitive overhead with a plethora of "solved problems as libraries", I'd strongly consider Rails. It's fun to work with and gives great development speed, and it's manageable architecturally for a solo development team (MVC, Service Objects, API Clients, et cetera). I think it's a useful thing to have in your back pocket if you need to get an MVP up ASAP. That being said, with regards to building a prototype ASAP the fastest track is probably going to be the stack you are most familiar.

If I were building a company, choosing Rails would be an important question to consider. Programmers who know the framework and language well can ship things quickly. So if you're a solo or main technical co-founder you can go FAST. However, building a company is more than just technology considerations. For example, with each hire you will need to consider the cost-benefit of hiring or training for familiarity with tech stack. For example, Ruby is ranked #16 on most popular technology ~6% of respondents, and split 50/50 for loved versus dreaded on the Stack Overflow Dev Survey 2022. This could present a real challenge to the business in terms of sourcing and hiring qualified folks.

If you wanted something dynamic like Rails but with a higher potential talent base, using Python, Flask and Django might work.
> Calculating with pen and paper the progression of states from a suitable initial state... Would an illusion of experience/qualia appear somewhere just from our calculations? Would it feel like something to be the state represented in the numbers?

No, why would some data scribbled on paper describing qualia in a model of a brain reproduce that qualia in your brain?

If you write code on a piece of paper, does your laptop suddenly execute that code? If your laptop takes a picture of that scribbled code, does it then execute that code? If you take a picture of it and then OCR it, does it execute that code? If you take a picture of it, OCR it, and then feed it to the right compiler/runtime does it execute the code?

As you can see, there are numerous layers of translation to get the information in the right form and in the right place. "The right form" for our qualia is the form we evolved to perceive. I'm not sure why one would expect information in any other form to produce quale.
>The point I was making is that houses sold quickly regardless of how low they were priced relative to comps.

And my point is that speed is a feature of any sellers market, bubble or not.

I think it is/was a sellers market, but don't think it is a bubble that will pop.

It might go down some or sideways, but it wont be disastrous.
For those that sold out of stock to buy a house, their homes could loose 30% and they would still have come out ahead.
Yeah, I think that's because it's retina?

I've been using this pretty heavily for the last couple of days and I am liking it with the exception of one issue which is becoming a deal-breaker for me: it defaults to opening a new tab, which means that back isn't useful. I could always close the tab, but I have that burned into my muscle memory. Since the shortcut for opening a new tab is also an easy one for most people (cmd-click) it seems unnecessary to force it, IMO. Your call, though :)
I've long since given up on Ubuntu and Gnome.

I do still choose Ubuntu repo-based distributions. I tried Debian repo-based but found inexcusable arbitrary differences in packages so don't trust them as much. I hope that the Ubuntu repository doesn't get so tainted that we need a third. Flatpack is starting to look like a worthwhile default for a lot of cases.

I know lots of people hate on them, but honestly I usually don't mind too much. It does change the mental model for pricing: instead of being based on dev costs, it's based on value. If I use the software for a long time, then it's presumably more valuable, and therefore it makes sense for it to cost more overall (if you assume a value-based pricing model).
If captioning videos were as easy and cheap as taking down a sign, then these would be equivalent.
How could Apple could have gotten a real OS more quickly? The Mac OS of the time had no preemptive multitasking or protected memory, so software running on it was doomed to be made unstable by all the other software. NextStep, maybe it was what you say, but they needed to make a change.
I think more code with fewer devs is deflationary. "As productivity increases, the cost of goods decreases." [1]

Well, it did stop Europe from retaliating against Russia with full power, and slowed then down until the actions became extreme.

The mistake is on believing that the effect was symmetric. Russia benefited very little from the trade (yes, for internal reasons), so they made no effort to preserve it.

Incredible. You've nailed both the amount (the +70%)¹ and the days (yep, Oct 4th & 5th).

You are also right that it is across storage accounts, and access tiers: I've now looked at some of our other SAs, including ones in the Hot tier, and yep, they see the same bizarre uptick. Given that Hot tier is experiencing it, that rules out the possibility of "human error" w.r.t. to it not being a Cool-tier early deletion.

> Is this similar to what you're seeing ?

You've nailed it precisely; it sounds exactly like what we're seeing.

(What a small world HN is sometimes!)

¹the numbers on our end wiggle a bit, so I'm not sure about how precise I can estimate the uptick. But 70% is as close as any guess.

> At what point are you just re-inventing what Ansible already does if you're going down the DSL path

For one, YAML can only emulate one kind of DSL: a declarative language. You have no advanced operations on top of YAML without using modern YAMLv3 syntax which is honestly mind boggling to read at times. Python is far more expressive and has tooling that can strengthen your operational resilience.

> I'm honestly trying to understand whether this hating on Ansible is more of a bandwagon thing

I've heard this expression echoed commonly when ones favorite tooling is under critique. Nobody hates Ansible, people do have experience that's taught them not to use something. Whether you feel your case overlaps with theirs is an exercise that pithy internet opinions can't sort out for you.

> What are you deploying where you would need static analysis?

Anything sufficiently dynamic. Static analysis is for making things less error prone. There's still all the same runtime problems, but at least there's an expressive path to fixing the runtime problems.

> 2. If you did end up writing your own DSL on top of Python at what point would you concede that it's probably better to use someone's else creation as opposed to forever iterating on your own thing for the sake of using your own thing?

That's a value judgement as to whether the person you're speaking to feels comfortable writing and maintaining a DSL. In my own experience, I've written things on my own that I had full control over that were sufficiently narrowly defined and I was able to move fast because of those things. I've also sat around waiting for features I'll never get or waiting for someone else's use case to become mine without avail because someone refused to "reinvent the wheel" without realizing the wheel they think exists isn't real.

> Why would you want "custom arbitrary operations" and how custom are they that Ansible and Jinja2 can't do that for you in usage patterns that are far more common than your own creation would be?

The custom orchestrators I've written were compensating for software that is deeply entrenched in it's infra and vice versa. Jinja buys me nothing that writing in Python or Go can, and Ansible is providing facilities the languages already give me. Ansible, in this case, is very much there to serve Jinja.

Of course, that's not to say that either way is wrong. Sometimes it's appropriate to use Ansible. Other times it's appropriate to write your own. Even in the latter decision, by doing so, it affords learnings about what you'll need beneath the hood so you can make educated decisions if you roll back to the former.

Yeah, this case seems to be a business trying to get around subtitling the “free classes” because they make money on the paid classes. The loophole of only doing a particular class under 500 won’t work for them I suspect as the business would still be making the money (if it wasn’t this wouldn’t currently apply).

Thanks for sharing! This sent me down the solvability path. It would be cool to have an ‘expert’ mode that plays the optimal strategy.
It's not circular reasoning: it's a rejection of the premise which I can easily dispute: knowing everything there is to know about sex without actually practicing it is not the same as having sex. If someone subjected a brain in a vat with electrical stimulation to make it believe it's having sex (with phantom body parts it doesn't actually possess), then that is indistinguishable from actual sex -- but note how the postulation of the actual Mary experiment steers clear of actually asserting this, and instead claims she "learns the physical properties" of seeing colors.

I realize Jackson is a professor and I'm not, and that this is a well known thought experiment, but I deem it so obviously invalid -- or rather, based on false premises -- that it's not worth considering.

Of course I'm basing my opinion on TFA, but reading Wikipedia's summary I see other philosophers have poked holes on this experiment and even agree with me the premises are false.

P.S. defining "knowing everything there is to know" the same as "physically experiencing" is circular reasoning, and I definitely disagree with this premise.
The flying car that could turn into a biplane (Draper Univ)
Is there a term for the phenomenon where a supremely powerful person can comment on some event that may happen, perhaps innocently, and the fact they said it makes it more likely to happen?

In many ways, the health of an economy is a state of mind and emotional. Bezos has millions of people following his every word; many worship him and believe he has the keys to success (could also say the same about Musk & Gates). A pessimistic statement like this, regardless of merit, can/will cause others to be pessimistic.

In a vacuum I would be very interested in Bezos's thoughts on this topic - he's clearly super-intelligent. But I don't think I could get past his powerful position and the many reasons why he may want to sway opinion.

Is there any data about downsizing? It almost seems impossible to do at some level (and I'm sure depending on the area) because of an extremely short supply of smaller houses these days. I could be wrong, but this seems like the last area to cut expenses on for most families.
Housing prices may be going up faster than rent. But as a homeowner my housing prices aren’t going up.

When we moved into an apartment in 2012, rent was $1200. By the time we left in 2016, rent was $1700. Our mortgage was $2200 including PMI, taxes and insurance for a house we had a built. By 2020, rent at the same apartment was $2400. Our house is three times the size.

The rent you are paying now is the least you will ever pay where you live. Besides changes in property taxes, our mortgage is the most we will ever pay.

The iPad and Apple Pencil are hugely popular for artists and designers. The leading iPad app for digital painting is Procreate. (Adobe are late to the game with their own painting app called Fresco. However, Adobe has failed to dent the popularity of Procreate.)

There is also a wide variety of design apps for the iPad (e.g. Clip Paint Studio, Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo).

The Apple Pencil offers superb pressure sensitivity - why the iPad is so popular for artists, illustrators and designers.

> Suing every hole in the wall out of business is hardly in line with reasonable accommodation.

Suing is the enforcement mechanism chosen by the Israelis and the US, not the reasoning behind the requirement. The reasoning is: The disabled should have equal access to dining and it's not an undue burden to expect ramps outside of businesses. Most of the developed world is like this.

You might disagree with that reasoning but clearly a political majority in the US didn't and doesn't.

Some localities require a signer (city council meetings for example) but don’t require captioning (and vice versa). Live captioning is more expensive than “after the fact” captioning, of course.
Coverage numbers are misleading (to the point that I find they did more harm than good). There are definitely cases where you can't (or aren't clever enough to) express what makes your business logic valid in the type system and need to write a test, but IME they're the exception rather than the rule (both because you generally can encode things in types, and because the majority of code ends up being "plumbing" with no real business logic anyway); I like to follow something like https://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/12/09/typed-language-tdd-... .
I don't understand either one. I use React (while technically pure JS, I assume this isn't what you mean) and calculate most of the sizes manually, just passing width and height as props into my elements. People tell me that's dumb, but it's always worked, and I don't have to keep up with this topic of CSS that doesn't really interest me. I've tried the "correct" flexbox way too, and it wasn't easier.

One particular thing about CSS... <img> seems to never behave in any kind of auto-sizing container the same way a regular div would; it seems to need pixel dimensions to work as expected in all scenarios, especially when things are resizing dynamically. Idk how other people deal with that. That alone was my motivation for trying things my own way.

I did something similar developing an app long ago for the iPhone 4. Calculated all my dimensions in C macros cause AutoLayout made no sense. Tons of apps using AutoLayout broke anyway when the new screen sizes came out, but my app was fine. "Math is math."

When it’s a business I don’t feel quite “as bad” even if they were offering “free contents” - business free content is ALWAYS marketing and they can just pay marketing expenses or not do it.
You’re assuming that a mortgage is always more expensive than rent. Your rent is going to go up. My mortgage isn’t.

To put things in perspective, my parents had a mortgage of $600/month in 1978. It wasn’t too much of stretch for them then. But it did sting. They were a teacher and a factory worker. By the time they paid the house off in 2008, $700 by then was laughably small.
