"All of that is very different between the various engines, making the whole process even less predictable."

In worst case complexity of styles resolution is O(nS*nD) where nS is a number of style rules and nD is a number of DOM elements. That's for current flat style table used by CSS. You can optimize bits and cases but it in general problem is like that.

> @media queries ... at least in Blink they're handled entirely different.

@media and @set are different mechanisms. :root in @set matches element that has this set applied. @set's are scoped set of rules. @media are not.

But I was talking about different thing - parsing, in particular in syntax highlighters and other tools.

----

Consider this DOM:

<body>
<aside styleset="styles.css#aside-set">...</aside>
<main styleset="styles.css#main-set">...</main>
</body>

And CSS:

@set aside-set {
:root {...}
... nA more rules
}

@set main-set {
:root {...}
... nM more rules
}

<aside> content style resolution will always be constant and independent from <main>, no matter how many nM rules you will have. While currently (with the flat table) adding rules for <main> content will increase complexity of <aside> DOM resolution too.

As a bonus: rules in two sets are completely isolated. Adding rule in main-set will never break existing aside design.

I have no justification for saying this other than personal work experience, but I'm fairly certain none of that has anything to do with Susan. In fact with her gone I expect it to only get worse, but don't take my word for it.

It sucks. Every single creator I've followed has had some variation of, "well shit, YouTube isn't making me enough to sustain this anymore" video in the last few months. Things are going to really dry up and go down hill fast as more creators are forced to give up.
> On a random sample of days, how representative of that 95% is the foot traffic you’ll find there?

Very, since the more likely someone is to be a regular shopper there, the more likely you are to run into them on any given visit. That is simply an artifact of statistics.

> Personally I share OPs view of Walmarts, I don’t go in them because they make me feel bad about the world. I don’t get that feeling other places.

Do you get that feeling at the DMV? Maybe at the doctor's office or pharmacy? You are bumping into a true cross-section of the US population. Take note of the feelings you get and why, and understand that this is what the US is, not just what you see in the bubble

It's quite unlikely that you would even be able to run it at all. The model is quite large and probably won't fit in memory. If you could get it to run, it would be extremely slow

Worth checking out: https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT The associated videos will go into this more, iirc, at the end he said the real GPT-2 would take 5-20 seconds to generate a small amount of text using CPU only.
Off the top of my head:

- That everything that makes you you and that makes you tick is located in your body, with the higher-order things like personality and memories being located in the brain;

- In particular, it's not located somewhere else outside the body, especially not in some metaphysical realm;

- That there is structure to the brain - patterns in arrangement of physical components and their transient states (including electrical and chemical signals) - that contains the entirety of you; that structure can be studied, and over time understood to a degree;

- That once we know enough about this structure, we can reach into the brain from outside to poke it with various implements, chemicals, beams and fields, and achieve changes we predicted will happen;

- That we can use insights from information theory, and even other areas of computer science and computer engineering, to better understand and predict the structure of the brain;

- That we can replicate various substructures of the brain in a simulation, and that such replicas will be useful to study the real brains, and also could be incorporated as components into computer systems we build ourselves;

- That artificial brains are possible to build;

- That artificial brains are possible to simulate on computers we build;

Some of those have already panned out. Some are used with great success in medicine. Others may take a while to verify.

Now, I recognize that some of the points I listed invite questions along the line of, "is that a prediction specific to 'brain is a computer', or would it also be a prediction of 'brain is an X' for many other X-es?". I believe the answer to that is "both", because anything you could substitute for 'X' that would yield similar predictions can itself be viewed as a computer! Computing systems aren't just next iteration of clockworks - computation is a new framework for interpreting the reality around us and making novel, precise predictions about it.
It’s accurate. Google was started out of her parent’s garage, and she became involved around then.
Google started as a research project in 1995 and incorporated in 1998. Susan was an employee number 16. 25 years sounds about right.

>Look at DigitalOcean - literally doing "layoffs" whilst shifting hiring to Pakistan

This seems completely consistent. Layoffs are intended to save money and Pakistani workers are cheaper.
What I'm proposing is that cities should outsource their entire IT infrastructure to a single vendor who runs the whole environment, including security. City employees shouldn't have any authority in these issues beyond vendor selection. I understand that might be politically difficult but what is the alternative? It isn't reasonable to expect city employees to have the skills and resources to defend against advanced persistent threats.

There is still room for city employees and other vendors to exert some control over higher level IT services and applications. But the core infrastructure needs to be under the control of a single competent vendor.
This is why some media outlets (I don't need to describe them) don't do corrections.
In American politics, one truly fails UP. Being an honest, decent human being is seen as a negative and probably in part because it is a threat to the rest of the scumbags. But I believe that some highly trained scientists who are at the top of their respective fields are there because they're the best of their breed. Maybe not, but I doubt the good ol boys club is that status quo in all industries.

Casting a wider net would indeed be more risk averse, if the job market had more symmetrical information. I know about my own situation, and a little bit about friends' and acquaintances' situations. Even medium sized companies know a huge amount more about what the going salary is, and how many applicants a given position gets. The decrease in risk isn't as much as you might suppose.

Be different, stand out. In my case, this was by refusing to do Windows, sticking with Unix and then Linux.
For what it's worth, I logged into AirBnb just now and it showed me an option to "Display total price: all fees before taxes"
And that's why I pay cash and use Jenny's Number with the local area code for the store discount program.

I know Target also tracks your cellphone through the store too, I haven't bothered putting in airplane mode when I shop, so hopefully they aren't correlating that with the purchases.
I am happier buying less, because it means I'm socking away more safety net for the next time the economy takes a shit.
It was reading about the Telsa Gigapresses that led me to invest in Tesla. Between this and their software platform, they are, I believe, poised to leave the competition in the dust. Next step would be for me to buy one - not there yet.

Earthquake in Turkey exposes gap between seismic knowledge and action
"The final death tolls are likely to place these two successive earthquakes among the worst natural disasters that have been witnessed in the world.

The sobering question ... is whether this enormous loss of lives, homes, and livelihoods could have been avoided. There is no way to prevent an earthquake from occurring, but what can be prevented—or at least curtailed—is the scale of the calamity caused by these inevitable tremors."
Curious if you're familiar with the anti-glare mode for your rear view mirror? The tab at the bottom you can flip up/down.

My favorite AirBnB trick, which I've encountered in both Germany and Spain, is the "extra fee due in cash on arrival."

You only hear about this after your booking has been accepted -- in the case of instant booking, you have already been charged. And it's usually not too much -- maybe 20-40 EUR. Often it's explained as a mandatory city tax or something like that, and you don't know the city so....

So at this point you can choose: report the host to AirBnB, lose the booking you wanted after already going through all the stress of finding it, and wait probably a long time before you get your money back.

Or, just grumble and pay it. Because of the way reviews are incentivized, it would be a Bad Idea to complain about it in the review, which is why you didn't see anyone complain about it so far.

I'm not proud of this, but the four or five times it happened I just paid it, because in the big picture it wasn't that much. I think the highest was 100 but it was for a long stay costing over 1000.

But unlike the "cleaning fee" where you can, with a lot of imagination, picture some definition of "cleaning" that might, on average, cost that much -- maybe every third guest soils the bed? -- the cash-on-arrival thing is transparently cheating.

Follow the incentives -- five star reviews only, please!
I think that for the majority, the issue isn't really the money, but the friction. Having to set up an account, or pull out a credit card, is an enormous friction point. The path of least resistance is to tolerate the ads.

A proper micropayment system could greatly reduce or eliminate the friction of payments, but we still don't really have one.
Wait, they don't have adaptive headlights in the US? All cars I drove in the last ~8 years or so had at least some variant of adaptive headlights...

The emergency declaration will assist with equipment and materials and the activation of emergency workers as the city seeks to safely restore its systems.

It's important to remember that 'state of emergency' is less of a 'everybody stop and listen to this' than a legal circuit breaker that allows the signing of checks and assignment of tasks without being bound by the normal web of procedure and contractual obligation. We tend to imagine (in popular culture) the executive aspects of government as being somewhat by fiat, but much of the time it's more like incremental product development, with most of the job being workarounds, excuse-making, bullshitting, and tedious social obligations.
It was a big difficulty: I've been developing and maintaining this codebase since Y2K, and to make it portable on different OSes (Linux, Mac, Windows, Emscripten, Android), we often had to "reinvent the wheel". At the very beginning in the 90's, we did not even have std::string !
As time passes, I can get rid of some code. For instance, FileSystem will be replaced by std::filesystem, spinlocks with std::atomic (if they are as efficient) and so on and so forth...

I mentioned and complained about this issue about 5 months back. Going so far as to say maybe we should do away with high beams altogether because obviously we can't use the responsibly.

I got told since I'm being blinded by jackasses shining their brights in my mirror, I'm probably too old to drive and the apparently the number of people on HN who are driving in deer-infested wilderness is through the fucking roof.

But no, HN is the bastion of rationality and logic and there is no completely fucking stupid faction that dang just ignores.
I prefer AirBnb for medium term (> 1 week < 1 month) stays where you often get some sort of discount and the cleaning fees aren't so outlandish on a per-day basis. It's been great and definitely advantageous compared to similar hotel options for the past 2.5 months I've been in Mexico City.

I'm fine replenishing basic sundries myself in exchange for something that is at least a studio apartment with full kitchen so I can save a bit on eating out costs, do grocery runs every 4-5 days.
I've been using AirBnB for about ten years, about 30 or 40 stays in total.

There are a number of issues.

1. When I come to use AirBnB again, and so to log in, I never know if I will be able to log in. AirBnB repeatedly break log in, and in ways which can be problematic - "your account has been frozen, click here to notify support, we'll email you in a few days". That's not what you want to discover when you are looking to book now.

2. Relating to that, AirBnB support is Satan's method on Earth to cause and spread screaming psychic and emotional torture amongst the human population. It is the worst. Screaming, dribbling, rabid insanity. It is unspeakable. There is no support, because you do not use it, ever.

3. AirBnB seems completely unaware, or uncaring, about the actual outcomes of the various mechanisms they have in place in their product. The "clean fee" problem is a recent example, but I've heard many more. This is classic large-company syndrome; completely oblivious to the actual experience of the end user.

4. I increasingly hear now of negative reviews being removed by AirBnB. This is putting their entire proposition at risk; if I cannot trust reviews, every booking is blind, and that's not good.

5. A long term problem is that most hosts do not know how to price their property. You can see a lot on the map, but look more closely and a lot of it is crazy money.

6. Finally of course, AirBnB keep raising their fees to landlords and tenants. They now charge monopoly rates, and they need to, because the company is I would say vast and bloated.

The big advantage AirBnB has over every other company in this space is they bake long-term stay discounts into their UI/pricing model, and so they are normally offered. I do not see that on VBRO, etc.
I don't know where you heard that. The media keeps reporting that Russia is losing the war, or may be losing it,* but that it is likely to drag on for a long time. No one that I have heard from since the first weeks of the war has ever said or implied that it was about to end.

* As Russia changes its aims, the definition of "winning" changes. This is a separate way Russia can win: declare victory with whatever territory you have seized and call for peace negotiations.
While in no way a panacea, you might want to check out Ground News (https://ground.news/). They at least make an attempt to point out how different news sources respond to the same stories. Perhaps most interesting are the "Blindspot" sections which show news stories that are not covered by opposing political sides.
"The lawmakers have low quality education and therefore have insensible laws" doesn't logically follow because "low quality education" is not sufficient to establish that they will make insensible laws. I.e. there are lawmakers with low education who have passed decent laws.

Who are the people who support the death penalty for apostasy or "blasphemy" who are not religious fanatics? If those views don't make one a religious fanatic, what does, and who do you consider to be a religious fanatic by your definition?

There are, of course, opportunist lawmakers who support these laws simply to gain political points. That does not, however, explain why overwhelming majorities of the Pakistani population support the same fanatical policies when polled by the most reputable pollsters on earth. Furthermore, the fact that it is politically expedient to support the execution of apostates and "blasphemers" supports his argument that its voters are largely religious fanatics.

You are "not furthering the discussion" because you refuse to provide actual arguments and instead resorted to calling him a racist without any evidence.

I think k8sToGo's point is that she never "joined Alphabet", Alphabet did not exist when she joined Larry and Sergey. She joined concurrent with Google's founding as a company, she probably joined when the search engine was named Backrub. Alphabet would be created decades later.
If I'm not mistaken she was Sergei's girl friend back then or maybe it was her sister. Not sure but I remember his first wife had this last name.

Nothing really is done with this data, ultimately. It gets fed to 'analysts' who make models, and if those models don't agree with the decisions the executives are already making, it just gets ignored.
I had a similar experience. Airbnb still has not refunded me, and the negative review is still online.

I doubt I will get a refund. But I will certainly never use airbnb again.
Isn't it up to the seller to choose the GSP or some other means? You can always contact the seller and negotiate to use a more direct shipping route instead.
"3 people died in a car accident today, marking 4720 this year alone. Car accidents are up 12% since last year when city council rejected the proposed budget increase for more snowplows and ice control to meet the city's growing transportation needs."

"3 people died in a car accident today, marking 4720 this year alone. Car accidents overall have jumped 12% since AG John Smith added driving-without-a-license to the city's informal do-not-prosecute list."

In our toy example, all of these could be simultaneously true, and the data given does not support one cause over the other. Note that the "due not" need not be present, the intended implication is still clear. (For bonus points, read these examples again, imagining that overall driving increased by about 12% due to people working from home less.)

I suggested them to put:

- A random video from the ones uploaded in the last minute.

- Another random video, uploaded anytime

In both cases, these videos should be shown regardless of language, view count, etc.

In most cases these random videos will be junk, but I bet there will be gems which would die unwatched otherwise.
Splitting hairs. "Joined the entity that would later become <a part of> Alphabet", big deal.
But despite all this I consistently hear from creators that YouTube is the best place to make money with content. Note, IG is the best place to simply do product placement -- like wearing and advertising a brand. But if you're doing video content YouTube is still the best place to do it, compared to IG Reels, TikTok, Vimeo, Facebook Watch, etc...

Similar to response about someone ranting against Teams -- I just don't see the huge issue with YouTube. It seems to work solidly and there are definitely people who make good money from it. Of course there is a long tail. Which is to be expected when my 9 year old nephew and half of his friends have YouTube channels. I just don't think people really have thought through at YouTube level scale what it would mean to "make things better for creators".
Why do you say diversity of opinion and experience are not the answer conservative folks want to hear? It strikes me as strange, given that the vast majority of media outlets in the US are left-leaning.

My last job was mostly C++, my current job is mostly Clojure but I still do a lot of C++ stuff on the side as it is appropriate for some of my side projects.

Clojure is so much nicer to work with and this really resonates with me; I'm always still having to check language docs for C++ stuff but only very rarely for Clojure. Being able to keep almost all of it in my head is a huge benefit as I don't have to break my "flow" nearly as much.
Your AirGradient ONE page says "contact us for pricing". How much is it? Why don't you list the price?
Some dealers do some innovative things sure. But most are just use violence and local neighborhood knowledge to stay hidden.

“Using a burner phone” is a 20+ year old trope and it was pay phones before that. Not exactly innovation.

The people that made crypto currency market places were pretty innovative. The dealers that used them weren’t. They are the equivalent of people who discovered eBay in the 90s. Early adopters, not innovators.
