You have a clear distinction between the "standar" rules for the current object and then a different set of rules for nested ones. While reading css, on the other options you can mix both styles which (specially with the optional & ) can become easy to misunderstand.
Agree 100%. This is big part of the motivation behind our new startup Earthmover: https://earthmover.io/

Our mission is to make it easier to work with scientific data at scale in the cloud, focusing mainly on the climate, weather, and geospatial vertical.

My cofounder Joe Hamman and I are climate scientists who helped create the Pangeo project. We are also core devs on the Python packages Xarray and Zarr. We think that a layer of managed services (think a "modern data stack" oriented around the multidimensional array data model) is exactly what this ecosystem needs to make it easier for teams to build data-intensive products in the climate-tech space.

And we're hiring! https://earthmover.io/posts/earthmover-is-hiring/
Is it clickbait when the top contributor/creator posts on his website? The same website that makes a strong promotion against ad tracking: https://lichess.org/ads

I clearly don't have the same definition of clickbait.

I'd say they should avoid bloating CSS, keep Sass style and just use type='text/sass' or type='text/css-nested' in the style tag, but it seems that attribute is depreciated... why is that?

I like option 3 the best, but what I'd really prefer would be block-scoped css blocks that could optionally be scoped just to children of the parent tag.

I know this is why we have shadow dom, but in practice I feel like the shadow dom has caused more problems than it solved.

Now we have a bunch of ::part things being added to make up for the problems, but it's still very difficult to work with.

I'd love to have the ability to put a <style scoped> tag inside a div and have it's rules only apply to the contents of that div, optionally overriding parent styles.

I don't know about the challenges implementing that in the engines, but it seems like it would be straightforward since the functionality already exists, style tags are valid markup almost everywhere in the dom, they're just parsed out and combined. For this you'd just have to track the parent element and bind to it like an ID selector.

This would make web component authoring more pleasant.

Edit: it looks like the functionality I'm asking for has already been considered, partially implemented, and is now deprecated, sadly.
California, Midwest at ‘high risk’ for electricity shortages in next five years
This has started in California in the form of a utility pilot that controls heat pump electric water heaters. I know because I'm a participant in the pilot.

The opportunity to reduce carbon emissions is pretty massive when done at scale, because water heating accounts for 25% of home energy use in California.

In general, there is a big rush of companies, both startups and established, into the DER space right now, I suspect because of both the relatively low cost of entry and the high value of the grid services (frequency regulation, peak load avoidance) they are usually bidding on.
I get what you mean but it does come across a bit as "why would anyone want C compiler, ASM provides a much more even playing field". All of the "old" editors that people still use have LSP plugins these days, so feel free to treat yourself any day now. :)

Non-sarcastically: type systems have their place but are not quite there yet. I say this as someone currently doing Advent of Code in Haskell, which surely cannot be accused of being lacking in type safety. What I would love to see in a type system is the flexibility that (for example) Rails' ActiveRecord adds to a class while still being type-safe. AFAIK, no such system exists (yet) but I would love to be proven wrong sometime in the future.
You can create a custom function doing all the delta logic and use pg_cron to schedule it to periodically materialize data using FDW.

My impression when browsing your site is that your product is in the same space as MS Access. It may be that your target audience is typically not on Hacker News.

I don't want to be critical but do want to give some advice. The fact that most information is embedded in videos detracts from the ability to understand your product. Kicking the tires on technology may be free but it's also a time investment thats competing against other priorities.

I know you're not saying this, but your wording implies it to a bit... Tests to cover <the things covered by static typing> are only one of the uses for automated testing. There's plenty of places (most of them) where automated testing is just as useful with a statically typed language.
Why Companies Do Layoffs Around Christmas?
Who's talking about banning anything? Were you under the impression that nepotism is a crime?
Whether they want their piece and whether the companies want to give it to them are two different stories. I expect that series A/B investors with $5 million to throw in at a $25 million valuation are getting a lot of deal flow here, since that's larger than a grant will reasonably get you. The seed stage is where an appropriately-sized chunk of government money is still readily available, especially if you are a spin-off of a well-known research group. This realistically means that in things like battery technology and carbon capture, YC and other seed funds will get the dregs.

I don’t think people consider them part of the English alphabet. Which letters do they sort between, according to English sorting rules?

Also, “Those two dots, often mistaken for an umlaut, are actually a diaeresis… Most of the English-speaking world finds the diaeresis inessential. Even Fowler, of Fowler’s “Modern English Usage,” says that the diaeresis “is in English an obsolescent symbol.””

This assumes one cares about the local community aspect of Mastodon. Granted many people do in which case your advice is spot on. But if you're just looking for a pure Twitter replacement, it doesn't matter. In fact you might be better off on one of the big players as they're probably less likely to be fly-by-night.

Noted. I appreciate the distinction that you are trying to make.

I guess that my point is that humans are not true problem solvers. Rather they are 'solution apply-ers', with the solutions being permutations of existing material.
At a broader level, TCP/IP was just one of many competing networking technologies. Nobody master planned which one would win. That emerged organically through gradual decentralized convergence as many individual actors concluded TCP/IP was in some sense "better" than the alternatives.
That's a reasonable number given their usage in the industry, imho.

Art will get better and we will have artists that use AI tools to produce a lot more of it faster and entirely new professions will emerge as an evolution in art occurs and the world gets better.

This is like saying that photoshop is going to put all the artists out of work because one artist can now do the work of a team of people drawing by hand. So far these AIs are just tools. Tools help humans to produce more and the economy keeps chugging ever upwards.

There is no upper limit of how much art we need. Marvel movies and videogames will just keep looking better and better as our artists increase their capabilities using AI tools to assist them.

Daz3d didn't put modelers and artists out of work, and what Daz and iClone can do is way way more impressive(and useful in a professional setting) than AI Art.

> People today complain about having to program a bunch of api calls might be in for a rude awakening, tending and debugging the piles of chatbot output that got mashed together. Or do we expect that in the future we will suddenly value quality over speed or #features?

I actually think we will. People are starting to realise where slapping together crap that works 80% of the time gets us, and starting to have second thoughts. If and when we reach a world where leaking people's personal information costs serious money (and the EU in particular is lumbering towards that), the whole way we do programming will change.
> It can't expand the edges, it can't come up with anything truly original.

You're dead wrong about that. Remember Deepmind's original claim to fame? Alphago?

It came up with tactics and strategies that top professional go players considered to be novel to the point of being revolutionary. If you look at the way games are played by human professionals in the years before and after Alphago came on to the stage, you'll find they're different to an extent greater than any other upheaval in the many centuries-long history of the game.

AI is a much more diverse field than you seem to give it credit for. Paint with overly broad strokes like that, and you're bound to go astray.
Yes, promoting an integer to a float is 100% wrong and should result in a compilation error (if you dislike overflows) or an integer overflow (if you dislike compilation errors) or even a promotion to a BigInt type (if you dislike both other alternatives). Promotion to a float is always wrong.
It would be nice if new users were simply assigned a big, generic server (like in many MMOs) and then later had the option to seek out and find a niche server. The vast, vast majority of new users wouldn't know or care either way.
Wrong, I do not have a hypothesis (or any sort of preconceived notion). I am just curious to see what the data shows about risk stratification across age groups with and without common risk factors. Do you have any references to recent peer reviewed studies on that topic?

I'm not sure why you're trying to derail the discussion by bringing up data dredging. That would only potentially be relevant as a possible criticism of the methodology in a particular study. So what's your point?
Anyone who supports Elon’s takeover at this point is basically a shill who has sold out to the man
I'm curious why you say 'more common'. When we did some adoption analysis, we found elastic vector indexes to have much more traction than others (excluding say faiss), even if it's a small % of elastic's advertising. How did you come to finding pinecone is the more common method?
Aren't the testimonies for all these products machine generated these days? They just need to remove the --diverse=no option from the build script.
Copyright infringement is a backbone of the digital world. People remix others’ music, write fanfiction of others’ works, draw fan art of others’ characters, write and distribute clones of others’ games, etc. Much of internet culture involves drawing captions on others’ art and spreading it around, i.e. memes.

Twitch pulls in multiple billions of dollars of revenue from video game streaming, which hasn’t been tested in court and may very well be copyright infringement. People regularly pirate games, movies, television shows, music, books, software, research papers, etc.

I believe that the culture benefits tremendously from this. My question is, why should we draw the line exactly here, at AI generated images, code, and writing?
I agree and think the same way. The "just make numbers go up" mentality of happiness is a fallacy. If this was the case, plugging everyone up to heroin hibernation machines would be the most optimal path. But anyone with an iota of human sensitivity will see that as horrific, unhappy and a destruction of the human spirit.

Happiness needs loss, fulfillment, pain, hunger, boredom, fear and they need to be experiences backed up by both chemical feelings and experiences and memory and they have to be true.

But here's the thing, already the damage is done beyond just some art. I don't mean to diminish art, but frankly, look at how hostile, ugly and inhuman the world outside is in any regular city. Literal death worlds in fantasy 40k settings look more homey, comfortable, fulfilling, and human.
The new reality is the same as the old reality. Twitter executives have been arbitrarily banning content based on their own whims and political biases for years, regardless of the written terms of service. It's just that there's a different executive in charge now with a different set of made-up rules. I'm baffled as to why anyone would care. The whole thing has long been a joke, nothing more than a platform for trolling.
We had serious water-usage restrictions and wide scale behaviour changes here (22% cut in consumption) in Australia with no increase in price.
> Basic income or revolution. That's going to be our choice.

So many menial jobs are kind of like basic income anyway - you put in 2 hours of actual work to pad out the entire day at some shitty low end job, knowing all the time that your contribution isn't valued and that if your employer ever got their shit together your job wouldn't even be needed, and the robots are coming for it anyway. You get paid a small amount for doing nothing much useful.

The rich today are rich largely because they or their ancestors were plunderers. Perhaps they plundered the planet, exploiting the cheap energy that fossil fuels provide. Perhaps they plundered our social cohesion building skinner boxes that manipulate the minds of millions just to gain eyeballs and clicks.

Why should the bill for these past excesses fall on those who never benefited from them? In previous times, a young person of average intellect could get a job on a farm or factory and be a valued contributor. What happens when automation removes the last of these jobs - do we really expect people to put up with more and more menial and slavish existences?

Basic income is, like carbon taxes, an obvious solution. Maybe it will take off when a tipping point arrives - when the rich class decides that their repugnance to giving someone a "free ride" is overtaken by their need to have masses dulled and stupified, sitting at home with blinds drawn in front of their playstations, so they don't revolt at the obvious unfairness of the world.

The biggest advantage of a big instance like mastodon.social is that account discovery and following are much easier when the accounts are on the same instance of you. Otherwise, you have to do a lot of copy and paste into search fields.

Markets are not global. The immigration market is highly regulated and the H1B visa is an abusive system which keeps Indian and Chinese immigrants enslaved to their jobs for up to 20 years while waiting for a green card. It’s a perfect labor group to take advantage of. You want a real global market for international labor? Fix the immigration system.

You need lawyers involved, but one of the most important things here is going to be what the LLC agreement actually says (is there a written LLC agreement, or when you formed the company did you default to statutory LLC provisions)?

As an aside, you and some other posters are talking about this as though this is a corporation (shares, shareholders, etc.) but the specific type of entity (corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership, etc.) and how it is governed matters in a scenario like this.

I agree with the other poster who said this may fall into the category of “too expensive to fix.” If you’re dealing with a bad faith actor who has the means to keep throwing legal spaghetti against the wall to see if something sticks, unfortunately they can make the cost-benefit analysis to turn against you pretty easily given the sums you’ve said are involved and the other priorities in your life.

Good luck. I hate to see bad behavior rewarded.

"Prove me wrong" is a phrase you've used in previous HN posts as well. It has the opposite effect of what you hope it has.

Elsewhere on HN you mention that you're looking for "innovators" and "early adopters", but your target market seems to be "database neophytes". Is there a market at the intersection of those two sets?

In other posts and comments across the internets, you don't seem to have decided if you're creating a database or a filesystem replacement. Once you have internal clarity on that, you'll be better at talking about it with people who might find value in what you're building.
There is a sweet spot for how many people should be on a team. That number depends entirely on a nature of tasks. I would even go as far as to say - in a good environment up to that sweet spot, productivity gain is linear.

And yes, managers do expect close to linear productivity gain past that spot. Managers, that are a little smarter, start thinking about how spotify did squad (without actually knowing anything about it).
Without a "none of the above" option, it's hard to tell what people really want.

I wonder to what extent any "partisan switch" is primarily a US thing? Here in Australia, while some right-leaning people (especially the "hard" right) have in recent years become "anti-vaccine", I haven't seen any comparable evidence of traditional left-leaning "anti-vaccine" adherents abandoning it

I can think of two people my wife and I know personally who are vocally "anti-vax" – one is a rather conservative Christian, the other is a woman with a long-standing interest in the New Age / Tarot / occult / crystals / psychics / alternative medicine / etc. The first, when we were younger (15–20 years ago), I used to run in his circles a lot, and I never heard anybody say anything remotely against vaccines at any of the churches / youth groups / bible studies / etc we used to attend together. He only started becoming "anti-vax" around when COVID started, and it obviously had a lot to do with US politics (he was a big Trump fan, and so was his church–I'm not sure if they still feel the same way about him now), despite living on the other side of the planet. Even then, he was always primarily "anti-COVID vax" rather than "anti-vax" in general.

Our "New Age" friend, her being "anti-vax" was entirely expected, because "anti-vax" opinions have always been very common among people like her. She became very political about it around COVID, organising protests, etc. It became even more intense when she lost her government job (as an adult vocational education teacher) due to her refusal to be vaccinated against COVID. But, the anti-vax protest movement she became involved in was rather left-leaning, it was all composed of New Age types, hippies, etc, who live in a "hippy area" (the Northern Rivers district of New South Wales). I think if someone like our other friend – a conservative Christian spouting pro-Trump rhetoric – had turned up at one of her protests, she would have run them off.

> Note that extreme idealogies sort of "wrap around" the political spectrum

I don't know if that's really true though. While opposition to COVID vaccination may be one of the very few things these two friends of ours could agree on, I think their reasons for their respective positions are very different. I'm not sure the whole "wrap around" or "horseshoe" thesis is really that useful in understanding why two people from opposite ends of the political spectrum may occasionally end up agreeing on something, even something outside the mainstream.
I have pretty limited experience with graphql. Why is apollos offering interesting to people? A hosted graphql proxy? You still need to write your own servers(but theres a ton of good libraries in multiple languages for this?)

it's better as long as everybody realizes how they got to the current situation, and is willing to continue to make experimental, ad-hoc adjustements to suit the current needs as they change.

the problem happens when somebody decides a design that was arrived upon by spontaneous growth is perfect as-is, and when needs change instead of just fixing it, you need a 6-month study and a planning commission to make a change to existing infrastructure that only had five minutes of thought put into the original design.
