The article focus on the semantics of CSS classes present in the HTML rendered in the browser, but the example the author presents doesn't have a good semantic HTML.

The template the author is comparing against (https://spotlight.tailwindui.com/) has better HTML structure, descriptive text and aria labels on buttons, icons and images. This is what the semantic web is about.

You could argue that the author's template loads faster (not for that much honestly) but the UX won't be better.

Tailwind or Bootstrap's (just to provide an additional example) documentation presents accessible and well styled patterns that end users will benefit from.

People complain about the bloat of these frameworks, but they don't make a fair comparison when checking examples for accessibility, responsiveness (mobile experience) and other features that make a great UX and help with SEO (because in the end accessibility is SEO).
I'm pretty sure that plenty of autistic people would fail that test. As would I if I was in a bad mood.
I'm curious how they hold up. Because, IRL, the Rivian is a beautiful vehicle, but the body has always struck me as 'precious' and for the kind of things I want a truck for, I'd be really hesitant to mess it up. By contrast, and old mid-90s pickup has the kinda body that a ding or two or ten isn't going to look all that terrible on.
Anyone who says they can tell someone is lying is bullshitting themselves imo. Where do they get this belief from? I wonder would any of them do better than a coin flip in a double blind trial.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that so many of their examples were Google products. If they use the Apple Mail client on the same device, email opens in hundreds of milliseconds (measured from depressing the key to finished rendering a complex HTML message just now).

This isn’t to say Apple doesn’t have their own problems but I think it’s not an accident given that Google’s focus is on showing ads while Apple’s is maximizing device value, minimizing energy usage, etc.

The web is frustrating because it’s so easy to hit high frame rates at low power usage in a modern browser, but everyone internalized that “move fast” BS focused entirely on developer experience and half the industry consolidated on a slow framework from the IE6 era rather than learning web standards. It makes me wish browsers had an energy-usage gauge so you’d have to own that decision publicly similar to a fast food place having to list calories in the menu.
Certifications are a good way to show that you may have that skill or be familiar with it. However, if you can point to work experience with a skill, such as AI, it will do the same thing and also show you have real world experience.

At this point quantum computers aren't breaking anything. Adding protections against them is nice because we're theoretically safe in the future. We don't want to compromise our safety now by choosing algorithms that are less battle tested though, so it's best to layer them.

If it turns out that both the classical and quantum hard algorithms are weak we're just screwed, yes. That said, at this point it's not even clear, as far as I know, that many classical algorithms are event going to be broken under QC.
That's not how electric motors work.

You can measure the speed and adjust the power going to the motor if you go over or under that speed. The lower latency that this cycle has, the better, but it can never go to zero like with physically connected wheels.

If you cannot mock that controller state machine properly, you should not be writing software that goes in cars.

At least the penalty is you just repeatedly cause every car of the model in the entire country to fail instead of crashing into a wall, but this kind of thing is why the T in IoT is for "shit".

Major vacation rental company that rhymes with "Hair Z&Z."

(I refuse to type the company name so that they don't get free advertising.)

Among other reasons, the company allows hosts to implement "no cancelation" policies on their stays, while the rental company doesn't audit the premises to ensure that claims made are accurate.

Then, if you have an issue with the place or host...well, tough luck! It'll be a multi-month battle to get a refund if you leave the stay. That is, if they decide to give you a refund.

By auditing, I mean little things, like owning or having sublet rights to the listed stay. That's right, i had to deal with the owner of a condo once because the person who listed the stay was not even the person on the rental agreement. Fun times.

When I reported this to the rental company what did they do? Nothing.

But, they did allow the faux host to leave a review for me, which was biased negative because I asked if they could add an extension to the shower head in order to raise it up to a normal height.

That's only one of many stories I have.
I haven't heard that you're taxed when you lose money. My understanding was that If I invest $10,000 in a taxable account, lose $1,000, and withdraw the remaining $9,000, I won't pay taxes on the $9,0000 (ignoring transaction fees).

In case the founders read this post: what would you do differently if you could start over and would this idea work today?

Slightly OT: everyone feels hiring is broken, can you list some things that are annoying from the employee and employer perspective? Here are some points:

- the process often stretches out over weeks and often months

- job posts often get 100s of applications, a lot are low effort applications, it just muddies the water for both sides

- ATS systems/job boards are annoying with the need to create an account on many sites, some forms have more than 20 questions, often asking what's already there in the resume.

A question to everyone: What would a good application process look like? For me, it should just solve the above mentioned problems. I send an email with my resume, a few sentences about why I might be a good fit for the role/what interests me about the company. The jobs@<company>.com email address could be linked to some Saas product which makes it easy for the employer to go through the applications and further communication about video calls or take home assignments or whatever are all in this email thread. The employer can set the stage of the application such as 2/5 or whatever, they can mark it as rejected or accepted after all rounds to trigger automated emails etc. Is there any Saas like this? (I can build this in a week if it doesn't exist, but no clue how to market it/get users, any pointers in case me or someone else builds this?)
Serialzation formats (xml, html, json, etc.) seem to be the be all / end all thing of the moment.

Somewhat perplexed no push to use AI to convert source/binaries to EBNF or equivalent "text" format (platform / programming language agostic) vs. changing up the compiled/bytecode levels of abstraction/environment with web engines / vms / etc. Would seem like a possible way

EBNF or similar discription (for languages not suitable for ebnf) makes for easy distribution/portability/verifibility. Checksums & merkel trees provide way for "what was modified".

I thought this was in reference to theiving governments.
If you read into it some more Toyota has had this tech for a while, it’s real and it seems to work.

Since battery life like this might be a step change, it will leave most EV manufacturers behind if they don’t have an answer.

EV buyers may want to consider a used EV until new tech comes out, since old or current tech is not always worth paying new prices for.

It might also be a factor in the relationship between Toyota and Tesla growing in the last week.

>Not that one should put too much weight on the wishes or intent of a bunch of slavers

Politics is all a product of it's time; and furthermore, when it comes down to "compromise or realistically get rolled by a foreign adversary", those slavers you look down on still laid the foundation for the social liberalification that ultimately resulted in the world you live in today.

That "bunch of slavers" built a state in which there was the understanding the populace would be armed heavily enough to overthrow it, and it (the Government) was fettered from doing anything to stop that replacement short of Congress declaring War.

That... to put it mildly, was and still is pretty radical in the grand scheme of the history of Government.

Well under trail, that officer needs to name names and get those other officers on the defendant list.
I feel like there's a huge onus on techies who care to create meaningful personal technology that's worth caring about.

The fate of humanity is at stake (excuse the pretention but it's true), but only the experts can see or grasp the magnitude & nature of the struggle. We can write on and on a out the struggle, but I don't think our conversion rate to building hyper competent uber techies will be enough.

Rather than being people to computing, I think those that care need to bring computing to the people. We need to be building better general purpose computing experiences. We need to blend user experience and developer experience. Users need to be able to "open the engine bay" on running software and see how it's working, and tinker around. We can open up the experience more of being close to the machine, better share the fun empowering side of being close to the machine, with less friction & less years of wonkery to reach that amazing closeness.

Making our software systems & their running highly visible seems like a great moonshot effort we should be up to. Ever striving to make it easy to see the man behind the curtain.

Dynamic programming should be key. Users should be able to muck around with & play with the software they know and use.

Projects like Node-RED I feel have enormous potential. They make systems real in a high level way, create a grapsability that should be there but is missing. But also, these experiences are still lower level, are still clearly computing experiences. To really bring computing to people, I think we need to be looking hard & creatively at ways to bring higher level application like experiences to people in ways that also let people delve in to the compute, where the facade of interface connects to the explicitly visible/observable compute of something like Node-RED.

Imo we do have to fight back, yes, and fight back strong. But the revolution has to be won by reforming who and what we are, to make adaptable morphable wares and platforms, toake software soft again. Human curiosity & ingenuity roots our species powerful self motivation, but the funnel right now into empowerment-in-tech is so onerous andong, and of we can create more flexible & welcoming hybrids of applications and compute, the revolution will amplify and drive itself.

Please consider joining https://malleable.systems , a home base on the internet for humanity to consider augmenting ourselves better.
Geologic hydrogen went from fringe science to potential green fuel
For the avoidance of doubt, I am 100% rooting for Ukraine. But I don't think we should write out of history the sacrifice Russian solders made in beating Nazi Germany, just because Stalin was a monster and the current criminal regime.
"Unshakeable trust" is stating it rather strongly; I think almost no one has that. Also "EU" is far too broad to generalize: Sweden is very different from, say, Spain, which is very different from Romania.

But in general, compared to average US views, there is probably more of a recognition that a government is needed, and that it's better than the alternative. But to be honest it's kind of hard to really say too much meaningful without specifics.
This battery breakthrough has been reported many times but commercialisation is always 3 years off which is the typical purchasing/leasing cycle for vehicles. I cannot help but think this is Toyota - widely known for being way behind in EV sales - trying to induce an Osborne Effect to discourage consumers from buying the competing products of the current generation and instead wait for Toyota’s “breakthrough” next gen product … https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect
Combining Emoji/Pokemon Graphics
But that's nonsense; the answer is bloat. You can run complex graphical OSs in a few 100kb or, god forbid, mbs, that boot in <1s but have everything. It's just a lot of work and they lack customisability modern people (seem to) want. QNX, BEOS, but, to me more impressive, something like SymbOS shows you can build interesting and usable things that work and have tons of features people want. It takes more time and you cannot easily customise them and there is not something like compatibility.

Your phone OS is just bloatware and you and everyone else knows it, no need to make it seem like it couldn't be different right now.

> When Officer Smart returned to the driver’s side window, he asked Ross whether there were any “firearms in the vehicle, narcotics, specifically heroin, crack, marijuana, cats and dogs.” Ross looked straight ahead, paused, and then “kind of giggled and said no.” Officer Smart observed that Ross continued to appear very nervous and continued to reach towards the center console and move his jacket around. The backup officer arrived soon thereafter. Officers Smart and Foreman had become sufficiently concerned that Ross might be armed as a result of their observations and interactions with Ross that they then asked Ross to exit the vehicle.
>That is not the definition of 'reclaimed' (I think you meant reclamation)

Reclamation is the noun form of the verb to reclaim.

Do you think mines today are missing that in the US?

I think the cost of mining is a long-tail problem. Just throwing some top soil over a mine isn't solving many of the problems a mine introduces. One of the examples I'm giving is heavy metal pollution of important-to-human water ways.

In general, mines in the US have a very piss poor track record of dealing with long term environmental issues. I think one be a fool for believing the greenwashing marketing of a huge multi-national mining company, or their honest intent to put the land back in a state - or better - than what it was. That is a fantasy. As they reap enormous profits from the mining, I would want you think of who is actually bearing that cost.
"That’s not to say every last corner of Earth is losing its vegetation. Some recent studies have revealed that parts of the Arctic are “greening” as the chilly landscape warms. And there’s increasing plant growth still happening in other regions of the world, as well."

So, a sensationalist headline. The H20 on Earth doesn't change, it might shift to other areas, like has for billions of years. Climate change or not we've always had shifting biomes, which is why we've got deserts in areas now that were essentially jungles in the past.
It's a "heads I win, tails you lose" test.

> There's nothing inherently being wrong with a billionare

I disagree. The amount of money that a person can effectively use (or need) during their lifetime is likely to be less than half a billion. The people who have any kind of social conscience would reach their desired amount of wealth and wouldn't want to continue accumulating it as they know it's purely at the expense of other people and invariably the rich person has an extreme advantage in any negotiations. For someone to reach half a billion and then continue to exploit others to build their wealth higher and higher is clearly some kind of sociopath. Therefore, having a billion dollars is a clear sign that millions of people have been exploited by that billionaire.

> I think having stronger employee rights such that a company's leadership can't increase their own compensation disproportionately to that of the average employee

I like that idea, but it would need a way to count non-income benefits too. Also, using a mean average can be greatly skewed by the CEO's package, so maybe a median average would be more suitable.

// Look how bad the self checkout experience is. You might say “if people cared, they would shop elsewhere”.

I would say that bad checkout matters - in the way that I am talking about mattering - because it does effect a non-trivial amount of behavior.

First, I am much more likely to opt for self-checkout at Whole Foods vs in my town's supermarket (that I otherwise like) because the WF experience is pretty smooth while at the other store, the machine blocks until help arrives every X items. Does that matter? Well I think so, because (1) some # of people will go to WF over this store just because of that (2) some # of people will stand in a cashier line - costing the store money - because of this (3) some people will opt for delivery because of this - undermining the "local store" value proposition in the long run.

The above impact exists because in the bad case, self-checkout is nearly unusable. If it was just a matter of every item scan taking 2 seconds instead of 1, or needing to get human help once a year instead of several time per checkout - nobody would care.
> at worst, an arrest.

Well, that plus some unearned violence.
This is an excellent example of how large corporations can't plan products normally any longer. You could take a college class in embedded systems design and you could ask all the students to come up with examples of edge cases where an SOS system in a car could have issues, and you're pretty much guaranteed that someone will mention both being out of range of cell towers and being old enough to be incompatible with cell towers.

Discussion would then lead to what to do about it, and busy-waiting in a loop trying to contact cell towers again and again would certainly not be a solution.

But can a corporation do this? Apparently not. I honestly wonder if designers are actively discouraged from caring about anything beyond the projected life of a product, because it could negatively impact later sales.

You do need estimates to unlock capital, plan budgets, plan for staffing. And badgering engineers to make their numbers smaller is often the result of engineers bullshitting their numbers, as I mentioned before. Engineering departments aren’t free from the same errors or fallacies or biases or mistakes that other humans make.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Near breakthrough means nothing, “near commercialization” maybe but it seems like they haven’t even discovered the breakthrough yet.
I’ve seen very blue traffic lights in Japan both in Kyoto and Tokyo. I think the weirdest part of this story that isn’t talked about in the article is that Japan doesn’t seem to have any regulation or consistency defining which shade of blue/green the traffic light should be. Different areas will have different colors and even the same area will have different colors.

With current electricity infrastructure, won't that completely saturate the grid and/or be problematic for people wanting to actually put the chargers somewhere?

We're talking megawatts here, and (at least over here) getting a grid connection of more than a couple of hundred kilowatts means serious talks with the grid operators. Because larger max loads mean larger potential impact on the grid when your load suddenly switches on, there is a progressive fee where a 0.1 MW versus a 1 MW rated connection is not simply 10x cheaper.

Absent huge investments in the grid, I think the only thing you could do is put these on prem with power production, or put up a big battery near the charger that you fill up at a lower rate?

Not an expert, but I wrote simulation code for "virtual power plants" so industrial sites with electricity producers, consumers and storage could simulate their loads to help spec the grid connections to their sites... this is what I vaguely remember from the business end of things.
All four wheels rotating at the same speed is the normal case: straight line driving on good pavement.

The real question is can all the wheels go to zero traction at the same moment and thus the computer thinks all is well. I think the odds of that are low enough to not worry about.
I spent time in a couple of midwestern cities this year and was shocked at how wide the streets were. It was mind-blowing to me, coming from a city in the northeastern US. The typical road was wider than the "highways" we have near me (not interstate, but they are numbered state routes).

It also threw me off when walking as I could see I'd have to go a couple of blocks but every road crossing took a few minutes. Invariably I'd have to wait at least one light cycle, perhaps 2 if I was crossing both angles. And those light cycles were long.

The worst part was that it was rare to see much vehicular traffic at all except during some key times. What a waste of space.
