Classes vs style properties is the (dis)advantage.

I like tailwind so I prefer the class short-hands and composability.

Once I hit several styles on an element or obvious component styling (a la "primary-button") I just make a class with @apply.
Technically google isn't a monorepo, but when I worked there for 7 of the years I worked in google3, which was truly a monorepo, except for Android, and the kernel, and some open source projects... OK, not a monorepo.
That's probably more of an issue in the US. Not that commuting doesn't pollute, but in other countries a great part of the daily commute is done by public transportation or much more carbon efficient personal transportation (scooters, bicycles, etc).
I miss that blog. It was a little crazy and the comments were a flame war shitshow, but man it was fun to read sometimes. Even if I vehemently disagreed, it got me thinking.

Whatever happened to esr? Did he just get too paranoid and clam up?
There is nothing wrong with social security. It’s Medicare and Medicaid that is a budgetary black hole that you can’t close
Yep, I have ended up doing the same with Tailwind, because in the end you end up with unmanageable inline styles.

I would recommend you to try Open Props [0], which you can use with Tailwind CSS, and see how what we all really crave is a good utility class system.

I live in NYC and haven’t been to DC in ages, but what is the deal with this station?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/G8SXAuMAZVypHyuKA?g_st=ic

It’s, like, in the middle of a bunch of parking lots? A big part of the catchment area is a highway interchange? How do you walk to this station?
Is this a modern day pjax/turbolinks? It feels that way from the reading of swup.
> It's one of the more blatant examples of how the laws of the United States are written to unjustly empower those with wealth that I am aware of.

The most blatant thing for me will always be the tax code.

Alone way that W2 income vs long term capital gains is taxed (not to mention that losses are fully tax deductible) makes the message very clear.
I'll bite, as I've been in a bit of 2 minds about this myself.

There are a few different security models, based on different enemies.

In ye good old days, the enemy was every other user on a shared machine. Software and sysadmin were trustworthy, so the walls were built to protect users from each others. Most users weren't actively attacking each other, just accidentally stampeding over each other while getting their own work done.

Android and Windows today have a different model: There is only 1 user, the machine owner, with a reluctant sysadmin role. The software manufacturer (Google or Microsoft) wants to be the actual sysadmins, and their enemy is the machine owner mucking up the config. For the user, the enemies are the different applications, possibly from dubious sources and actively trying to steal as much data as possible. The walls are built to protect the manufacturer, the machine owner, the end user, and each individual application from each other, with the machine a battleground where everybody tries to backstab everybody.

Linux today sits in between these models. The owner is the only user, commonly technically competent. Applications from software repositories are not malicious, so walls needn't be as strong. Hacker 'freedom' mentality implies distrust to DRM, anti cheat, and other ways for corporations validating the owner. Meanwhile, applications deliver most values when allowed to access each others, sometimes in ways foreseen by nobody but the end user, and security walls like portals and digital signatures get in the way.

Except this rosy view of Linux isn't always true anymore. The web browser is clearly a dangerous, malevolent entity, with every website a potential attacker. vscode is another interesting case, needing low walls to do development tasks but high walls to protect the user from Microsoft's telemetry and political maneuvering. I'd love to containerize them, but keep the freedom to use other applications in all freedom.

On top of that, there is the linux self-inflicted problem of .so ABI instability. Gnome is one of the worst miscreants, famous for not promising anything, but a lot of other libs don't fare much better, so every containerized application needs to ship half an OS. The overhead in RAM and DISK is horrible, especially to a technical machine owner that understands what the machine really is capable of. Other rough edges are theming troubles, and portals delivering only 90% of what's needed, making it clear the containerized inhabitant is not on the same footing as the other applications.

These container problems are real, are not technical but coordinative, sociological and political in nature. Sweeping them under the rug with words like 'hivemind' helps no one and simply is not fair. I believe decent Linux containerization technology is possible if the community at large wants it. But the state of the art today simply isn't that great.
Yeah, I get that. But as a fan of cruising it feels like a cheap shot at an activity I enjoy and the people who work their butts off to make it possible. DFW seems completely oblivious to the fact that the people behind the scenes of his dystopian fantasy (to say nothing of people like me who buy their product) are actual human beings with hopes and dreams and feelings. You can spin this as "suiting my moral demands" but I think that my entertainment should come at their expense.
My sense isn’t that they don’t have a solution, it’s that the people you talk to, including “managers” are just fancy drones who have not been granted any nontrivial decisionmaking power by the Company. They just follow decision trees and act as a car bumper for small collisions.
My favorite was "the apple rep told you more than they were meant to. they're not allowed to tell you things, but if they were, you'd totally understand why they did it and even thank them".

To which someone at least calls out the laughability of this: "Uh, I'm not thanking any company that just deletes my account and loses me data, apps and money, with no recourse".
0 applications out of the door but huge leap for material science. And some of the best and brightest people will look for something deep there.
There's a recurring myth, very prevalent in the US, that credit card companies would prefer people who pay off their bills every month as cheap margin versus being predatory. It's bizarre, and as you've pointed out, completely unsupported by how they actually make their money.

Numi reminds me of Soulver at first glance: https://soulver.app/
How would he manage to do that for thousands of people?
That's crazy, how the heck is every Apple user comfortable with that.
Well, ok, let's assume for a moment that ads are valuable to some users, perhaps informing them of a solution to a problem they didn't even know had solutions. That still wastes the attention of everyone who doesn't actually need that thing. Making it worth everyone's time can be incentivized by taxing eyeball-pixel-seconds. The numbers reported to the tax authority must be consistent with those reported to the advertising customer and the site owner. This way one would only place ads when it's almost certain that there's some unmet demand.
> ESG is tricky to talk about thanks to the politization of it.

"ESG is tricky to talk about because it is inherently political."

There, I fixed it for you.
lolwut? this says "Washington, DC" but it's actually just Arlington. DC has been gentrifying for decades, despite the protests of very involved activist citizen groups.

Arlington avoided price rises because it and the surrounding NoVA area was still being built out, so profits for landowners and management companies could be maximized by planning for growth, and providing the amenities that would bring in more middle-class renters. Washington, DC was built out ages ago; there is nowhere for prices to go but up.
> The Greek crisis started in 2009, the paper came out in Jan 2010, harsh austerity measures were imposed on Greece in May 2010 by the EC/ECB and then they just kept coming for years on end. The timeline works perfectly and the EC/ECB had not imposed such measures before.

Greece was free to not borrow money and go bankrupt instead. That would also have led to austerity but in a much more chaotic way.
libro.fm is the website I use for audiobooks. The library is signficantly smaller but it's 100% DRM free, you can support a local bookstore with your purchases [1], and they have a subscription that gives you credits you can spend on audiobooks, very similar to Audible.

Germany also has states, although they aren't as independent as US states. In an case the EU is much less unified than the US.
Interestingly enough, property used to be able to commit a crime (back when slavery was a thing) but it still could not be sued or be the plaintiff in a lawsuit.
And 14 year olds would never work in mines.
Civil forfeiture should have a time boundary. If police seize your property, they should have 90 days to indite you with a crime and if they don't they should be forced to return all of your property.

I've read articles about how some police departments are training their staff to engage in this behavior and using forfeiture as a profit center. What they are doing is wholesale theft.
"And make sure to re-buy all the apps you had before quickly, before we find this new account!"
This is why I never have my only copy of anything on any online/"cloud" service.
This is accurate. Culture starts with cult.
This method basically has not yet been used much, but it is in place.

The dangerous issue is that if a spam operator has 33% legit traffic, do you kill the spam operator and the good traffic with it, or what? Kill the traffic... innocent people harmed, or leave the traffic, spam continues.
If only there was a way to move lots of people very efficiently... Perhaps some sort of vehicle on rails... :)
Fun for some, cultish for others.

There's not much middle ground between "try to have some fun at work because there's no reason not to" and "don't do something someone might take issue with". A completely sterile work environment isn't really any better, and for some it's definitely oppressive and worse.

Is it sometimes an intentional cult-building tactic? Definitely. Is it always? Heck no, people come up with in-group names all the time. Groups of all kinds develop their own terms and memes and whatnot, it's normal.
There's already companies working on this: https://axiom.ai/

I would guess that it's just a matter of converting the DOM accessibility tree into text descriptions, e.g. "There is a button that says 'Start'"
And then converting text like "Click the Start button" back into an actual action on the page.
I recently started a new job and opted for a mac thinking "it's a unixy system, so it'll be more like my home linux setup". I have some regrets. The forced scroll acceleration is particularly intolerable; I had to find LinearMouse to get rid of that.

Another infuriating weirdness is window focus. Alt(sorry, _command_)-tabbing to a window brings all windows of that application to the front, possibly obscuring other windows you have around. And if you switch virtual desktops to one with a fullscreen window while you have another window of that application open on another monitor, it won't focus the fullscreen one you just switched to but rather the other window.
The mention of quantum neural networks, quantum data encodings, and quantum feature spaces raises my curiosity about the technical intricacies and practical implications of these concepts. It's evident that this work contributes to advancing the understanding and potential applications of quantum machine learning.
but the justice system in the US will almost always punish a burglar more harshly.
It's already on the 4DWW (Four Day Work Week) schedule:

So, using your market framing, wouldn’t women who are so inclined have the same power to choose to date multiple men? Wouldn’t this tend to balance out any pathological behavior on the other side?

It boggles the mind to imagine that most attractive women would put up with this behavior on networks they frequent.
An RPN calculator is a must for almost everything I do, from real engineering, to startup finances and expenses, to making/3D printing, to home/landscape improvement. I keep a real HP emulator* pinned to the taskbar at all times, ready to be launched and used with just a touch (and yes the touchscreen works great with the emulators, if you upsize them a bit. Plus, an actual HP-41cv on my physical desktop, for the heavy lifting not easily handled by the emulators.
(Anything that can't be done on the HPs is going to need some code written, anyway...)

*Three, actually - an HP-15C Scientific pinned to the taskbar, and the default install links to the HP-12C Financial, and HP-16C Hex/Binary emulators in the apps menu. All are official exact HP emulations for Windows published by HP France some time ago. Alas, the link I had is dead, so I'm not sure where you can get them anymore...
Soo.. How do I cash out?
It didn't say that it was not factual, it said is not a scientific fact, which is objectively true. You can still believe it and agree with this statement.

The bigger problem is it appears to have tried to evaluate the statement itself when it should have just done a pure text search and treated the quote as an arbitrary character string.
Either we are able to work with LLMs with sufficient reliability to engineer products, in which case, we can fix bugs like this (where "fix" is understood as "reduce to an acceptable rate") - or we can't work with them, and we can't engineer products, and it doesn't really matter one way or the other because they're doomed to be curiosities.

I think you're thinking, "a better aligned LLM would 'freak out' more often," which is a weird mental model because what you're talking about is an alignment issue. Wikipedia defines alignment as "[aiming] to steer the AI system towards humans intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles". Ethical principles consumes a lot of oxygen, but setting them aside, this is an example where the AI is not functioning in a way that is compatible with our goals and preferences. [1]

You can't actually escape alignment of the LLM by just accepting whatever it gives you without reinforcement, an unaligned LLM is gunnuh give you garbage (more or less by definition). It's not like alignment is something people slap onto the LLM, it's a property of the LLM that needs to be adjusted for it to perform according to spec.

It's kind of like saying, "software was fine before performance was introduced." You can absolutely introduce bugs when optimizing for performance, but the software has certain performance characteristics whether you do so or not, and if you ignore performance you will still run into performance issues.

[1] An example that helped this click with me is this racing boat AI, which found an exploit for infinite points without ever completing the race:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Misaligned_boat_racing_...

This is a clarifying example because there's no ethics for us to debate, it's just a malfunctioning piece of software in an uncontroversial way.

I keep a TI-86 on my desk which I use modestly. Usually for a longer calculation.

I also have a calculator button on my keyboard right above the number pad which is very useful. I use it for quick maths every day.
The fact that our existing computational models are in agreement with the experimental behavior leads me to believe there is no new physics involved here. That being said this raises the question as to whether this class of material is known and characterized within our national research labs but has been kept classified, and if it was unknown it raises the question of why experimentation is what discovered it and why weren't we able to harness the computational model to identify it theoretically and develop a method to produce it practically prior to this. My money says there are people in this world who have long been aware of this, and its either already in use in a classified manner or it's interesting but there are other materials which are more practical in all use cases.
I didn't like Seinfeld either. There are enough people behaving like assholes in the real world. I don't need more of that in my evening entertainment.
Are there any "pure" civilian targets then, or is absolutely anything a legitimate military target? Was that pizzeria in Kramatorsk a legitimate military target because, as Russia claimed, soldiers were among those eating there?
Can you give examples of such businesses?

Sure, there are companies that provide entertainment or fulfill desires. But even in those cases they offer something that's missing, something that one is seeking. Those might not be serious problems with pain points you need to deal with immediately, but problems nonetheless.

I guess you could argue what a problem is. To me, a problem is when I have a need that's not satisfied.
The term is “flux pinning”, and it only applies to the “quantum lock” effect. That is the specifically static hovering effect.

The diamagnetism, importantly this means repulsion of both poles simultaneously and equally (this is how you can have these magnets spin, a regular magnet repels same poles and attracts opposites, diamagnets repel both poles), is simply a characteristic of the superconductor, but it alone would just repel the object off.

Here is a timestamped link to NileRed’s YBCO video that visually describes the flux pinning:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RS7gyZJg5nc&t=1887

And here’s a timestamped link to Ben Krasnow’s Applied Science YBCO video where he shows a close up of the crystal’s cross section that shows the imperfections that allow the magnetic field through for the pinning effect:

Infantilizing for sure.
Awesome! Yes, it's hard-coded to basically be in 'beginner' mode at the moment, but I was considering allowing the user to select intermediate or advanced, which it sounds like would be more useful for you. Thanks for the feedback!
Took me a while to understand, maybe some images are required..

e.g. "Instead of [screenshot of Characters page in a browser window] -> text: click a character -> [screenshot of the blank browser window with caption "navigation, full page fetch and rendering"]-> [screenshot of a character modal in a browser window]

You get: [screenshot of Characters page in a browser window] -> text: click a character -> [screenshot of a character modal in browser window with caption: Swup/Fragment Plugin handles the loading and rendering of the modal, making your website an SPA]"
Enabling 3-D secure on all transactions leads to lower conversion rates, therefore typically a hybrid model is used where its enabled/disabled per transaction whether it is needed based on a risk score.
Yes, except that's the US government and the inventors here are in South Korea. I don't think the US would get away with declaring 'eminent domain' over something invented in a different country. They could choose to simply not honor the patent but that will open a massive can of worms, especially because a lot of this stuff depends on reciprocity: if your government doesn't honor our key patents, why should we do the reverse?
Also starting with atoms makes no sense as they are aggregates. So what, are ions conscious? are electrons?

its just abuse of the word
And that message is actually pretty recent. Before the 20th century you could just go off into the wilderness, build your own house, catch or grow your own food, and then just do whatever you wanted without ever needing money once all of that was taken care of. The work of survival itself was the mental stimulation, and when that work was over you went in search of other stimulation. Nowadays there's a chain of reliance and ownership where you can't settle without purchasing the land, can't build your own house without purchasing the licensing and permits, can't catch your own food without a license or outside of season (and even then you're limited to a certain amount of catch), and need to buy or invest in things deemed necessary to participate in society like cellphones and bank accounts. You can grow your own garden to feed yourself, provided you own the land, but that's limited by seeds you have to buy and whatever regulations apply where you live. Essentially the only stimulation you get is by the excessive amounts of entertainment we have now, because most modern jobs aren't providing anything.

There really needs to be some return to commons where ownership of certain things is just discarded so that everyone has the opportunity for self-reliance and self-actualization without needing to provide something of value for others. Community gardens, city parks, and city pools are like the fuzzy, myopic, "My memory's not as good as it used to be" view of that commons fitting into the modern world. The problem is that kind of participation doesn't provide a verifiable exploitable value the way that working under someone towards a set goal does, and our modern economic systems BSOD at even the thought.

In short, it's okay to not be useful just so long as you have something you want to do. Intellectual stimulation will always be a core need, but working for sustenance doesn't have to be.
Kill the traffic. The operator has to do a better job to stay in business.
Even the most non-objectionable term is going to sound tone-deaf in the context of layoffs. Just use the word "colleague" and keep it professional.
You can easily check that by looking the xserver commits, it isn't like they are hidden.

The TearFree stuff was added by Sultan Alsawaf who doesn't work at RedHat (though note that above i wrote that this is the official RedHat position, that doesn't mean people from RedHat cant still contribute to the xserver).

Well every now and then they stop paying their public servants while they argue over exactly how much deficit they can run at so ... why is the rating not worse?

Being in charge of the army and money printer just makes the risk with them even higher, not lower.
The money is often used on personal expenditures like a new F-350 truck for personal use, commemorative Super Bowl badges, or premium salmon-jerky dogfood (actual examples from Georgia). Most seized money does not even get put into a general fund for budget-based reallocation and is left up to discretionary "slush fund" use.
