What's the difference between CSS “em” and “rem”?
I've read this much about this:

1) Learning Web Design
Book by Jennifer Niederst Robbins

1 rem= 1* browser's default font size

1 em= depends on the element type, for h1 it's something, for h2, it's sth else.

2) https://css-tricks.com/confused-rem-em/

>While em is relative to the font-size of its direct or nearest parent, rem is only relative to the html (root) font-size.

I get the rem part, but not the em part. What does it mean?

3) https://blog.logrocket.com/using-em-vs-rem-css/#:~:text=Let%27s%20get%20started!-,What%20are%20em%20and%20rem%20and%20why%20use%20them%3F,relative%20to%20a%20set%20value.

I've read this as well but since I'm only knowing html and starting to learn css, I could not get most of the things written there.

4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlRLEsZa89M

I watch this short video. It does makes things somewhat clear about "inherits from parent".

Anyway, I am eager to learn the crux of "em". Maybe with some code examples, or figures(if it's lying anywhere in internet)
First Power Cut Today in Kyiv
Not to downplay your observations but thats mostly anecdotal.

Also, I think professionals working in STEM fields should be careful not to encourage this race-to-the-bottom wage-wise for workers, for it may also happen to us sooner than we may hope.
Fair, I didn't look specifically at Australia on my first read through in retrospect. Maybe I should reconsider my living situation lol
The destitute are merely more visible in "big dense blue cities" but statistically there are more of them in rural red places like Mississippi and Oklahoma.

After all, in OK or MS you need a car, which is a $2000+ asset, just to even access any public space or resource or make yourself visible at all.

There's much more poverty in those places, but it is hidden away. You can see a slight bit of it at gas stations that are walking distance to poor areas, but for the most part, those are the lucky ones, and the unlucky ones are walking distance to nothing.

I would much rather be destitute in a big city where I can access all kinds of formal and informal resources like temp agencies or subways to sleep on, than in a rural area where I am totally dependent on rides to anywhere.

The advantage of the rural poverty accrues solely to the wealthier, who don't have to look at the poor as much as the urban wealthy and middle classes do. And perhaps that is why we are kinder (well, ok, slightly less unkind) to the deeply poor here, because we actually see them regularly rather than having locked them away so securely we can actually trick ourselves into thinking we don't have them here.

It is deeply ironic that you came to the opposite conclusion by accepting superficial appearances. The trick of hiding the poor by means of car culture sure worked on you.
Firefox gradually adds protections against fingerprinting methods that aren't just cookies. Of course, sometimes this means stepping on borderline cases of legitimate API usage. Also these protections are added for the private mode first.
I responded to the blanket assertion. I wouldn't want people in civilized places to think that public toilets should only be "for the people who have nowhere else".
How was it “kinda sorta”? They were the direct, unbroken, legal and institutional continuance of the Roman Empire.
Let's also be clear the ideas were right-wing libertarian market fundamentalism, fomented through the shady 55 Tufton Street establishment, likely funded by American billionaire money.

The market fundamentally rejecting the ideas of the market fundamentalists would be hilarious, if it wasn't happening to us.
I think calling them "progressive in name only" is a bit of a "no-true-scotsman"
Sure they can and anyone who is aware of it does. We do it in NYC and I save things like dishwasher and laundry for off-peak times. But things like car charging are unique because there may be a 12-hour window in which you need to do 4 hours of charging and the timing is very flexible and has diminishing returns if you don't have a lot of miles to cover any time soon.
There is a market solution for everything if we just imagine that the tragedy of the commons doesn't exist
> I've posted this elsewhere, but it doesn't matter what our brains do and how similar that is to how AI operates. Humans have rights that machines do not. For example I can watch a movie and not be sued for infringement because I made a copy of the movie in my head.

No AI model works that way either though. Think Stability AI: It doesn't have a copy of every image that it was generated with, but has "distilled" the patterns out of images. It no longer has a copy of any specific image inside it, nor is there an ability to extract training data from it.

In which case, it does not have a copy of the movie in its head either - but it does, for example, recognize the Disney look.

Right now, GitHub Copilot's argument is that training AI models, on copyrighted material, is currently legal. This is also the position almost every AI startup also takes, and it is rooted in "fair use" taking the "transformative" qualities of a work into consideration. There is no doubt that AI-generated suggestions generally are "transformative," it is only about whether they are transformative enough.
Isn’t this the plot of an In The Thick Of It episode?
It’s always bothered me when people end their argument with something along the lines of “disagreeing with me makes you bad.” It immediately shuts down opposing thought without even giving someone a chance.
It’s the same “public” as in “public houses” (actually privately-owned premises) or “public companies” (publicly traded but still private interests). One more quirk of the English language.
According to the article, a foreign ship can stop at multiple US ports, as long as it only offloads. A ship can go from DR to Jacksonville and stop in San Juan on the way.
> bot rings that push topics in trending

I have a browser extension that hides trending topics, so I don't see that at all.

I just said that I use the reverse chronological timeline that only shows tweets from my follows.

I've blocked that account.

Why would you even read hashtags?

What I see on Twitter is my experience. It's largely your own choice what you see on Twitter.
I'm kind of disappointed all the tests were without ReBAR. I'm curious as to what kind of difference that makes.
What's different between a traditional public toilet that anyone can use and a homeless toilet? You seem to imply there's a difference that affords extra explanation and justification.
By committing the code to a git repo and having a code review like every other language out there.

I'm guessing you have never tried these things but image based Smalltalk implementations have supported VCS for decades now, literally. In Pharo this is with git using Iceberg:

https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg

They even wrote a tutorial to make it easier: https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/wiki/Tutorial

It's not magic, it's not even a problem, because the problem you're imagining doesn't actually exist. So long as the user of the system has at least half a brain (and maybe less) they will be capable of distributing their code with git these days.
The original Chronicle article (linked in TFA) is less onion-y. For readers not familiar with the city -- this proposed loo is in Noe Valley, an affluent residential area far from downtown, so comments about homeless people are not too relevant.
They have to pay an attendant hourly just to be sure no one is in there while the self clean runs? Why can't it operate based on a weight sensor?
> The public toilet will be built by union workers who will “earn a living wage and benefits,”

San Francisco doesn't owe anything to the tradespeople. When you share a border with Mexico, there is absolutely no reason not to outsource.

Almost every city that can rapidly scale up infrastructure have access to some type of cheap labour. The rapid construction in the middle east and asia didn't happen by using union labor for everything. Nobody likes talking about the elephant in the room but that doesn't make it any less true.

Most of the red tape and bureaucracy come from having too much local rights and democracy.

If you can't build housing cheaply, then no amount of union rights and progressive policies would reduce the amount of homeless people.
Not that simple. You also have to stop using some popular frameworks/libraries even in CSS. For example, Tailwind is the hotness these days. I like it but in production, they recommend installing using npm and not CDN. Yes it is for performance and size reasons but still.
The discussion centers around copyright for now, but it seems those code-generating (and art-generating) AIs are just starting out and have a lot of room to grow. If future versions are just magical, our current ideas of programming will be obsolete, regardless copyright considerations.

Maybe we are a little too short sighted and defensive while facing our industrial revolution in the form of the AI revolution, which is coming for our jobs, or at least for the way we are used to do our jobs.

Those pesky copyright violations could be manually 'fixed', or, Microsoft could go and prove with their data that programmers are all just reinventing the wheel and are actually reimplementing the most basic stuff over and over. Meanwhile, they might be correlating live data from Azure and git histories from many projects, and have Copilot refactor your project based on load. Unthinkable?
I've seen multiple articles on this, but none really explain why the public toilets that are used at other locations in SF cannot be used in this instance. Another comment in this thread mentions Paris's sanisettes, and SF already has a similar product (though far fewer of them). Given the city has already put them several places, I would have thought the marginal bureaucratic effort for one more shouldn't be so large.

Why are those suddenly important? Silicon computers involve both, even when un-networked and alone in a cupboard.
I moved from Canada to what I thought was progressive SF bay area, not so much, very conservative on many issues.
More relevantly, it means that the model parameter count, dataset size, and training procedure are balanced such that they can achieve equal or better performance as GPT-3 while being smaller.
Yes wish Raptor Lake with eCores would be on TSMC 5nm.
I've lived and worked in SF. Thankful that I'll probably never have another work-related reason to go back. SF is marked deprecated in my eyes.
To me this basically seems like boat programming made respectable.

Of course, if you asked me, it always was. You couldn't assume great connectivity then and you often still can't today.
I feel like their homepage could be greatly improved. It doesn't really make obvious what great capability it provides
What's the difference between bureaucracy and grift? All those 1.7 million dollars go into pockets, no?

In my personal experience of living in both rural New York and Pennsylvania and NYC for decades, the ratio seems to skew more towards the city. But I can't say as much for the west.
I'm in the middle of this course and finding it to be very good: https://www.udemy.com/course/blendertutorial/

Don't let the long total length fool you - the course was updated for 3.2, but still contains the 2.8 lessons as an appendix.

Lessons are very brisk and the instructor narrates every action and keypress. I'm flying through the course.
The lettuce won:

City vs rural have different challenges for one. Cities as a whole seem to lean left but it’s unclear if the policies are to blame or if it’s just a problem of unrelated political factors (eg bussing homeless into cities from red areas to “clean up your streets”)
The BSDs are awesome. I have been considering moving to BSD from Slackware Linux on my PC at home, but haven't yet pulled the trigger. Mostly, I cannot decide which to use among NetBSD, OpenBSD, or NetBSD.
> Okay terminal emulators need to go. And there are replacements these days. Some are better than others.

Do you have a short list for the better of these replacements?
Sounds pretty reasonable...amortize the fixed costs over larger facilities and greater utility.

Why was this downvoted?
You are making light of things for your own delight and political leanings which is exactly the kind of thing that leads to all this nastiness. The station you are talking about is multimodal and is going to get Caltrain even though it takes a long time. It has a unique structure that makes it essentially a big floating barge and the problems that came with that have since been fixed. Lots of stuff got closed for COVID that could probably have been kept open with precautions. Your pointed criticism needs to be balanced against alternatives and you provide none.
If he manage to keep pump&dump the crypto market and its $TSLA, then there is high chance

But the more he do that, the more he looses credibility, SEC was proven to be totally useless in recent years

Buying Twitter? at what cost? i don't think he'll buy it

Buy it for what? to make it private?

Then to push the digital ID, as well as the digital EURODOLLAR

Some people suggested he is the creator of bitcoin, more than ever, we have the hints that he is at least in the CIA's working group, at least on the marketing/PR side of things

He get free-pass from institutions and medias, more than anyone else, that can't be organic
Yes, but San Francisco also has a large tourist population.

Speaking of targeted,
this public project almost feels like it was designed to piss off conservatives. Which is a shame, because older tourists are a big segment of the market there. And foreign toursts. And just like climate change and summer homes on the coast, I hate that there will be ironic endings to this for conservatives.

Obviously, the homeless population and climate challenged have it worse. But we didn't need to make others suffer.

Such a shitty situation. Pin sanitation worker pay to software engineering rates or higher and build some fucking toilets.
SFO is an airport, so two wings generally..
Inequality is pointless to talk about in a vacuum. Blue states tend to have higher wealth overall, so it's unsurprising there's a bigger measure of "inequality." On basically every economic point, blue states are better: https://appliedsentience.com/2020/07/30/economics-are-red-or... For this reason, blue states also end up essentially subsidizing the red ones: https://www.tampabay.com/opinion/2022/01/22/blue-states-pay-...
But the target markets are pretty different.
Is there a limit on how much I can record? Is this just for quick notes or could i record a 30mins meeting? Thanks and congrats on the launch.
What are the practical alternatives? I'd imagine this is an issue one would see less often on a Mastodon node, as nodes tend to have fewer users per node so moderators / admins can respond more promptly to system failures, and if one doesn't like how an admin is running affairs, one can switch nodes.
I actually plan to subscribe to them in a bit (focusing on animation and rigging courses from P2Design[0] currently, which i recommend), just unsure if their whole course is worth it.

Protip, if you're like me and undecided on whether the entire suite is worth it - they have specific courses, and even a bundle that can get you a lot of bang for your buck over on Blender Market[1]. BM has many of their courses for purchase rather than the large sub. The one i'm primarily interested in is their HUMAN course bundle[2], which is interesting because for ~$150 you can get 5 courses which appear to be some of their best work.

This whole thing sounds like an Ad... but i suppose that's the point of this thread lol. I'm not affiliated with anyone in my post. Though i do really like P2Design :)

Are those concerns even reasonable?

My CPU runs most of the day at around 5-20% usage

And it reaches top usage when I run some relatively new game for like a hour a week at best

Thus, the point is: why power usage at highest usage is that important?

I'd say power usage for the most common CPU usage is most important for majority of the people (for data center it'd be different)
Does San Fransisco owe anything to anyone?
I think that there is a bit more nuance needed if you claim 100% legitimacy.

Winning an election on one manifesto, being chosen by 100k members, and then ripping the manifesto up and trying to implement a set of completely different policies would strike most, I think, as not 100% legitimate even if it's legal.

And just to add that she campaigned with members on ripping up the manifesto.
Yes Rec and Parks bathrooms are plenty good for the job, even with kids. Maybe they should take over the other ones!
Japan has excellent toilets. They have that by doubling down on cleaning, not on expecting their people to care more (they don't).
What's funny is if you remove all the scare quotes this can be added to any organization guide for many big corporations. The crux of the thing is "follow the process, keep following the process".
He had been stopped by the police for walking. They had some reason: he had broken his glasses and was wearing scuba diving goggles to assist his vision. When asked for identification, he produced a card with his picture and fingerprints on it from the Department of Defense. It said that the bearer of this card was entitled to receive top-secret information.
The very concept and purpose of copyright is being perverted before our eyes. Listening to these companies you would think copyright means "anything good for our bottom line."

The idea that purchasing music and then altering it yourself to suit your tastes is somehow wrong is extremely rich coming from an entirely parasitic industry offering artists less with each passing year.
I did manage to approach his costs by running a sharded cluster with our largest configuration (M600 nodes with 640GB RAM. 4TB storage and 3.8m IOPS).

That is priced quite clearly on the bottom page at 102.49 USD an hour.
If you read the article, the main reason why it cost so much is not because of the cost of the toilet and the installation per-se, but because there is many, many red tape around doing anything in SF.

So it is not necessarily a "grift" ( although many are profiting from it and are probably more than happy about the situation being the way it is ) but the result of decades of laws to regulate public work and spending ( ironically ).
Could be a concern if hosting becomes impractical for normal people much like how email is basically impossible to host yourself.
How would the NIMBYism contribute to that cost? I can see construction costs being somewhat higher with COL and regulations, but you could solve this problem with one of those toilet trailers or a porta-john (or cinder block and other materials are relatively cheap). Seems like they want a certain "look".
"a right-wing dystopia?" Seems like you'd prefer to redefine what it means to be left or right wing rather than admit that this is the outcome of left-wing governance.

The specific issues here are: tight control over building standards leading to red tape; high levels of process to ensure community review and involvement; paying more than market price for labor in order to support unions as a political value; supporting restrictive zoning to keep renters and homeowners in stable homes.

"Right-wing" imperatives did not create these issues.

Put another way, if a city elects left-wing politicians exclusively for 50 years, and those left-wing politicians enact policies and values consistent with their platforms -- it's probably not the case that negative results are because they're actually secret Republicans.
Or, that the work you have reproduced is sufficiently "transformative," which is an exception under "fair use" law. How different is the copy from the original? If I draw Elsa but with a green dress and a different hairstyle, I'm not under Disney's copyright even if my inspiration is clear.

Edit: Also, the degree to which it must be transformative is, I would argue, lesser for code. There's only so many ways to implement an algorithm - meaning that if it is slightly different, it may be transformative enough, whereas a more creative and less utility-based outlet like painting may require greater changes.
Does anyone know of any accounting transaction specific databases?
Most accounting and GL systems have some proprietary DB for transactions, but getting at that raw data is often difficult, many don't even have an API. I've been looking around for a more low-level solution for databases that are purpose built for accounting transactions. The two I've found so far are properfinance.io and Modern Treasury has their Ledger product. Any others?
I do something similar with a Telegram bot... but the quality is only good enough to let me know if I should listen to that audio again.
Yeap, works great on the m1 macbook air.
Everything works.
The only thing missing is support for /dev/csam :(
This doesn't necessarily have any bearing on the culture of parliament, and I must confess I don't know a huge amount about competitive debate.

Naturally the most obvious explanation for the US beating the UK at something is that the US population is 5x ours. Another explanation is that outside of public schools and Russel Group universities, we don't actually have much of a culture of competitive debating or debating societies any more. None of the schools I went to had a debate club, despite being relatively good schools, and I never heard of any debate competition being held.

From what I've seen from US competitive debate, it seems to be surprisingly popular with minority students and seems to use a style of rhetoric and scoring that I'm completely unfamiliar with - seemingly sometimes rewarding speed or Gish galloping. Here, the debates that most people would be familiar with are most commonly judged by their ability to convince the audience and are more popular with well educated, upper middle class people.
> Haven't Wikipedia and Stack Overflow figured out the right way to moderate at scale?

I think their different goals make it easier (which is not to say easy!) to figure out an appropriate moderation style. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; it is easier to impose norms on an encyclopedia than a social platform. I don't have such a pithy summary of what SO is, but, as basically a knowledge repository rather than a social platform, it, too, can afford to impose certain norms that would stifle a social space. And yet, even with this head start, they can still face considerable flare-ups of controversy!

A $2k car is a lot less than higher average taxes and housing costs.
For an idea of price differences, cheapest available parts to build a 6-core, 16GB (2x8) barebones system (motherboard, RAM, CPU) from Microcenter:

AMD: Total $615

B650 motherboard $230

Ryzen 5 7600X (6C) $300

DDR5-4800 $85

Intel: Total $439

B660M motherboard (DDR4 only) $90

Core i5 13600k (6P + 8E) $300

DDR4-3200 $49

The motherboards are really killing it. DDR5 isn't such a problem. Yes it's more expensive, but higher performing. But their entry level motherboards need to come way down in price!
