I built a projector with a ripped apart 15" LCD monitor and overhead projector decades ago, and we could not have been more excited to do some shooter games. We had had a PS2 and light guns all rigged up ready to go, before we noticed the fine print: does not work on projectors, does not work on LCD. And we were running via a tv-input card on a computer. It did not work for us. Delighted to see someone who made it further than we did.

Out of interest, have you built anything non-trivial with tailwind?

I've used CSS, and Tailwind and not worrying about naming everything correctly and not skipping around different files is a dream for me. Perhaps that's my brain, Idk.

Further I have gone over old code, and haven't had any problem with maintainability
The digitally restored version is linked in the description of the video and has more information about the provenance of the video. Pretty cool to watch this.
WatchAndChill.in is a fantastic web app for creating movie lists with friends. The user-friendly interface and recommendation engine make adding, managing, and choosing movies a breeze. It has enhanced our movie nights with seamless collaboration and interactivity. Kudos to the developers for this gem!

This and Harding and Hobbs
One thing he says at around 43'00" is that the shift from feudalism to capitalism, i.e., ownership of the means of production, was based on two pillars: profits and markets. However, the author says techno-feudalism's "markets", e.g. Amazon, Alibaba, Uber, are not markets in the classic sense, but "platforms" where trading, buying and selling, takes place outside the marketplace. The techno-feudal lords collect rents. Uber does not own cars. "The landlord does not participate in production." AirBnB, Amazon are other cited examples. As such, profits are replaced by rents and markets are replaced by techno-fiefdoms. His book argues that this is not "capitalism" in the classic sense. It's something else. He admits some of his colleagues would simply call it "rentier capitalism", but he prefers to ditch the term "capitalism". He argues our ancestors could have called capitalism "industrial feudalism" or "capital feudalism". He wants to make the point that this is not capitalism anymore, even though it's based on the triumph of capital.

He says repeatedly that "when everything has to go through" Google, Apple, Facebook, etc., but he never uses the word "intermediary". Were feudal lords intermediaries. In the early days of the internet I recall there was talk of "disintermediation" that would be enabled through the growth of the network and yet today it feels as though the internet itself has become the source of excessive, toxic intermediation. Toxic for one because it comes with absurd levels of surveillance and data collection.

The author sounds like he would be a fun professor to have as a student.

That's not what those poll results mean.

The way parents interpreted the poll is not "Given a hypothetical park somewhere in the world, should..."

But rather "Given the current state of parks in America, should..."

The parents are most likely right, it currently probably is unsafe for kids to be alone in public parks.

But that is not because american parents hold dogmatic beliefs about kid independence, they're just making a judgement call based on how unsafe parks currently are.
Right. A recurring theme in successful military campaigns (though by no means enough to ensure success) is a very clear objective. Civilian politicians decide those objectives. If the objectives are vague that's their fault. If the objectives are unachievable, that's their fault. Only when there were clear, achievable objectives is there any opportunity for it to matter whether military leadership, tactics, training, equipment etc. were adequate.

After all, if we don't know what success even looks like, what chance do we have?

Compare "Corporate" (the British operation to re-take control of the Falkland Islands) with "Iraqi Freedom" (US invading Iraq for nebulous reasons)

Even if you're not sure that Corporate was a good idea, or that the UK "should" own these islands, the objective was very simple and easy to understand. If we kill a whole bunch of Argentinians but have to retreat and they keep the islands, that's a failure. If they just walk away without a (further) shot fired and we get the islands back, that's a success. Easy.

But what chance did US troops have for "Iraqi Freedom" ? Can they find the imaginary Weapons Of Mass Destruction in Iraq? No. Hopeless.
FWIW, the `#embed`/`std::embed` proposal is the preferable solution here. There's a lot of time spent in the compiler parsing those ASCII floats into bytes (and I've seen `clang-format` take ages to format a block of `0xXX` bytes in an array).
At this point though you start to accumulate other performance related issues, such as TLB pressure from all the reservations.
To me it is a great research assistant at least free version and unlike Blender (rip) is so objective it keeps you on subject. Still taken lightly, its Google search verbally. Good for different perspective imo. Really great at synopsis and simplifying things. Even if it might not be correct all the time.

How is it not a company’s job to worry about the laws of the countries they operate in?

If it’s not its job, then whose job is it then?

I’m not going to argue that it’s an easy problem to solve. Far from it. But I also think there has to be some balance otherwise a company can simply set headquarters in a country with as fewer restrictions as possible and run wild.

This observation clearly contradicts multiple other measurements of the MW mass which is not really explained. Given quite a complex set of assumptions that went into this particular derivation, I am personally quite sceptical about this measurement, but no one have identified a specific flaw of the study.
> Is it really true that 1 in 4 schools stopped teaching kids to associate sounds with letters so they could sound out words? That sounds so insane it beggars belief.

It's way worse than that. The "1 in 4" amount is for one particular way of doing it.

Here's an older article about the topic in general: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/balanced-literacy-phonic...

> The debate — often called the “reading wars” — is generally framed as a battle between two distinct views. On one side are those who advocate for an intensive emphasis on phonics: understanding the relationships between sounds and letters, with daily lessons that build on each other in a systematic order. On the other side are proponents of approaches that put a stronger emphasis on understanding meaning, with some sporadic phonics mixed in. Balanced literacy is one such example.

> [..]

> In a 2019 survey of 674 early-elementary and special education teachers from around the United States, 72 percent said their schools use a balanced literacy approach, according to the Education Week Research Center, a nonprofit organization in Bethesda, Md. The implementation of balanced literacy, however, varies widely, especially in how much phonics is included, the survey found. That variation is probably preventing lots of kids from learning to read as well as they could, decades of research suggests.

Balanced literacy is one way of deemphasizing phonics, and was at 72% in 2019. The "1 in 4" amount is one particular curriculum for doing balanced literacy.
It's not just the price. The thing that many people forget about is that with double digit percentages in demand changes for petrol and diesel happening over the next few years is that a lot of struggling petrol stations are not going to survive the EV transition. You take away 20-30% of their business and inevitably that's going to wipe out a few of them. You can expect to have to take increasingly longer detours to get to a fuel station. Expect that to happen in the most remote/rural areas first; places with the least amount of business. And it's not going to stop at 20-30% of course. The resulting range anxiety is possibly going to be a major driver for EV adoption in such areas.
Honesty, Axum is a breeze to use
I’d disagree that it’s information-discarding.

At a technical level, yes, okay. At a human level? No.

To a human reading the man page, these characters look basically identical on screen. Sure, one is sometimes, in some fonts, a bit bolder and/or a bit of a different length - but even when that’s true it’s hard to discern without context. So an actual _reader_ of these characters depends on context to know what one they’re seeing anyway. Literally no information is lost between the source text and the reader by using either.

Just use minus signs in the man pages. Trying to force everyone to care about the difference between dash/hyphen/minus sign is an unwinnable battle. There’s only one key on their keyboard, and that’s what they’re going to press. And there’s not enough context to do anything automatic to correct it.

You could maybe make an argument about accessibility for screen readers - but I’m pretty sure they’re always going to have to cope with minus-sign-as-dash for ever too (see argument about humans using keyboards, and the inability to do anything automatic to correct it).

The only actual, real-world, outcome _worth caring about_ of treating these differently is that, if they are treated differently, people can’t search for or copy/paste command line arguments.

Using minus signs is the better choice for most people.
That doesn't make much sense. You don't need any private material to verify signatures when using asymmetric cryptography. How's TPM useful at all if all it does is verify signatures?

Kind of notable because conceivably Chrome could have tied Passkeys to the rest of the Chrome Sync infrastructure, which is how passwords for example are available across machines now.

> At least here in Europe MasterCard and visa are the only options. Amex and Discovery are really unusable here

Growing up, my parents had a Discover card (among others) and everywhere we went, I remember them asking if they took Discover because so many places didn't. It wasn't until years later when I saw the joke about this on Futurama that I realized this wasn't a unique experience:

> Fry: Do you take Mastercard?
> Employee: Mastercard has been out of business for 100 years.
> Fry: Okay, do you take Visa?
> Employee: Visa has been out of business for 200 years.
> Fry: Hmm, do you take Discover?
> Employee: Sorry, no, we don't take Discover.

> What can the machinery of causal inference do for me in this situation?

Well, (I’m being purposefully pedantic here) you haven’t really asked a question yet. The first thing it can do is help you while you’re formulating one. It can answer questions like, “how can I anticipate how things I have and havent measured will the estimates I’m interested in/making?”

> If it doesn’t apply here, what do I need to add to my dataset to make it appropriate for causal inference? More columns of data? Explicit assumptions?

The first thing you need to do is articulate what you’re actually interested in. Then you need to be explicit about the causal relationships between things relevant to those questions. The big thing (to me) is that particular causal structures have testable conditional independence structures and by assessing these, you can build evidence for or against particular diagrams of the context.
In my community: I love the cutsie pootsie Victorians everywhere, the time-capsule 1910s look. Some people want to make it easier to demolish this stuff and build whatever house you want - the rule is you have to keep the facade or whatever - and I sympathize with that.

But nobody gives a fuck about the brutalist structures being torn down, like the VA in Chicago or the Federal Building in Boston, because they're ugly. I mean they are of significantly greater historical significance than some random dilapidated Victorian home in San Francisco. So the law protects the local community's most mobilized opinion of what's pretty and cute, not what's significant.

People's definition of meaningful or sentimental, when it relates to a past that isn't personally theirs / belonging to their family... it's a very mainstream notion of beauty or awe. It sucks for this tree, those kids should not have chopped it down, whatever, nobody needs to have that conversation. But have you personally ever given a fuck about a sentimental something outside your family that is also ugly?

Last I looked there were more than two members in the council, and also USSR hasn't been a member since 1991 if I recall correctly. Anyway here's the current list for you convenience: https://www.un.org/securitycouncil/content/current-members

If the bylaws of the security council contained the risk of exclusion or at the very least loss of veto, I think both the US and Russia would more carefully contemplate the cost of the invasions they are guilty of.
Considering the decades of wars and regime change operations and sanctions around the world, So you have a good reason why the US shouldn't be removed? There shouldn't be a Security Council to begin with, imo

Yea, but 99% of all jobs aren't important enough to demand it. The average tech startup is vastly less important than a hospital, grocery store, etc.
My experience with Tailwind was with Fresh which did NOT allow you to use regular CSS. I found that Tailwind was far from enough to accomplish everything you need and often made it particularly hard to build an accessible web app of any complexity. In addition, anyone looking to mess around with psuedo classes or even just have a more unique style will likely find Tailwind to get in the way more than it helps. At least when it's the only tool you're allowed to use. I understand being forced to ONLY use Tailwind is not how most people have had to experience the tool but my personal experience has made me extremely weary of it

I also just don't really understand. It adds a complicated build step. I already previously heavily used "utility classes" in my own vanilla CSS projects and so can anyone else without adding a complex build step. This also inherently provides something like tree-shaking. You don't have any css code you're not using since you only define the classes you want. You also get to know all the CSS variable names.

For small projects, Tailwind feels like an overengineered solution to a non-problem (though I respect that it has helped a ton of people bad at CSS make decent looking websites). For large projects, it quickly becomes more of a crutch than a help. For frameworks like React, styled-components already solves issues TW supposedly helps alleviate in a much more elegant way.

It seems like the niches TW is helpful for is medium-sized projects and for people who are just... not that good at CSS and not interested in improving

You've hit on the central point - someone attempting to raise a family of 4 on poverty-incomes is going to get destroyed by housing costs. At those sort of incomes, they might be looking at things like tents and shipping containers. My advice would be not to start a family if you're income is that low, but it is a bit late once kids are on the scene.

But the issue I'm seeing here is, right now, people are staving themselves and having their water cut off because they can't afford to pay for it. If anyone was going to help them, it'd have happened by now - so it is a safe guess that they're on their own. Living in a tent is brutal, but humans have millions of years experience doing that and they'll probably be ok. Dehydrated starving is worse.

The path to wealth is to get costs down below income. Then they save a little bit of money each month and can start investing in long term improvements. That isn't possible if society makes it impossible to survive at low incomes.
It's to avoid vertical margin collapsing. The rules for margin collapsing are complex, counter-intuitive, and often considered misconceived. (https://wiki.csswg.org/ideas/mistakes)

It's typically easier to work out a layout if you use padding in preference so you don't have to worry about them, but first you have to reset the margins the browser gives you.
No - its not dishonest.

I don't know those squads existed. And neither do you. Neither of us were there. We only have secondary information on the whole affair.

What I do know is that those 2 bits of information do NOT match up. I do know that your defence + the statement in the article are NOT compatible. In your own terms, you have not found something that indicates what the author of the article expressed - that a death squad was on its way as they left their house. Maybe one would have come along a few days later. This is - at the least - a hyperbole.

If you were being honest you should have said, imo, that the article is NOT supported by the documented history. Ie that you agreed with my point that the story is exaggerated beyond anything historically plausible.

TL;DR: Causal inference is a complex topic, not a simple tool.

How's the ice cream example better than the sugary snacks example given in the article?

Here's the part about needing to add more columns to the data:

> When dealing with a causal question, it’s crucial to include variables known as confounders. These are variables that can influence both the treatment and the outcome. By including confounding variables, we can better isolate and estimate the true causal effect of the treatment. Failing to add or account for confounding variables may lead to incorrect estimates.

From the other side of the table, I've worked in companies avoiding Amex support as long as they could, and even after actively obfuscating the support to push the user to use another card.

For smaller entities it's a PITA to have to manage a separate additinal contract, and it costs a lot more for the merchant, when virtually nobody only owns an Amex.

If you're in europe there are probably other payment means that don't rely on Visa/Mastercard thay will be much more welcome.
