Show HN: Interactive CSS Grid Guide
Hello,

This is an interactive CSS Grid guide covering the basics.

Best viewed on a monitor or tablet.

The minmax example (https://cssprinciples.com/3/#e3_4) is probably most interesting - it shows how space is distributed among many mimax track definitions which can include the fr unit.

Open to feedback.

Cheers, Enzo
I don't believe code publishers are obligated to publish their model code. Especially because the local jurisdiction might adopt amendments that differ from the code they wrote and control.

Therefore I think they are perfectly ok offering a generic endpoint to the general public as a convenience, and have no liability when the adopted code might differ from what they provided.

From the government side, I believe that since the courts determined that adopted model codes are public domain, they are obligated to publish the code. Is the government required to publish text version of all applicable laws?

>What cozy games are showing us is that a world with tons of “free stuff” — universal basic income, universal health care, free education, free housing — will not result in a breakdown of our society because “no one wants to work”. People love to work.

This is dumb and wrong. People love to work, as long as the work is not smelly, or painful, or difficult. And as long as you can quit when you want, and do it in your own time, and you have no boss giving you feedback.

I'm all for universal healthcare, education, housing, and disability and unemployment benefits.

But a basic income, if large enough for somebody to live comfortably _will_ result in huge numbers of people dropping out of the work force. They will just play these cosy games rather than go out in the world and do hard things.

But I don't believe we could ever make a basic income comfortable because I think inflation will instantly gobble up any increases we make. If you increase the ubi by $50 bucks a month, the cost of beer and rent will increase $50 in the same month.
Semantics aside, I think it's quite clear they are trying to mislead by giving the appearance of being an American company. What does their company address show on their website? Delaware.

The report mentioned that their LinkedIn profiles changed from showing Moscow to Tbilisi. I'm sure I could also change my location to Tbilisi on my LinkedIn profile. How is that a meaningful argument? I don't want any amount of my money going to the Russian economy if I can avoid it, even if it's merely pennies as you say.

Why do you care to defend them so much?
We may not lose our jobs to robots so quickly, MIT study finds
I don't recommend choosing technologies this way. Elm is one of many recent, prominent examples of how years of promising language work can still leave production users stranded, both with backwards-incompatible changes that are deal-breakers for many projects, and then stalling further updates anyway even for the users still able to use the latest version.

I'm not saying Zig will go the same way, I hope it succeeds. But success in industry funding is not a guarantee, successful transition to large team contributions is not a guarantee, and even if all of that does pan out, by then the language may be markedly different.

Look at Rust in 2012 vs its 1.0 in 2015 and ask yourself if you'd want you and your team to have to make so many changes to production code. Ask yourself how many unknown costs you are willing to risk in exchange for whatever you believe is the actual upside of using Zig for a particular project.

Sure, somebody has to break that cycle by making those bets, but be sure before deciding to be among them. Somebody else making that bet only changes the odds so much.

Unless I've misunderstood the comparison, the lists example does not appear to be comparing apples to apples. Reproducing here:

$ python -m timeit "list((1, 2, 'a'))"
5000000 loops, best of 5: 53 nsec per loop
$ python -m timeit "[(1, 2, 'a')]"
10000000 loops, best of 5: 30.4 nsec per loop

The first command produces a list of three elements, whereas the second produces a list of one element (being the tuple).

Did I suggest she's an influencer extraordinaire? She makes career advice videos for Chinese international students. She has a small channel with small views like most entrepreneurs at this level.

Yes, the old I have a Chinese wife and can't be racist rationale. He got into a confrontation a Chinese lady and just casually accused her of being a CCP sychophant, and doubling down on follow up videos giving noise to conspiracy that this group is some Chinese op. That's as sinophobic as it gets. If this happened to even a Russia who didn't want to be filmed I doubt he would be screaming Kremlin KGB ops.

I used to distribute open source bindings to a commercial+proprietary library. I couldn't provide builds because I didn't have a distribution right to the proprietary license, even though I could test it on my own copy.

These days I'm having a tough time providing a build for macOS because my Python extension uses OpenMP, and there are several different ways to get OpenMP for that OS. See https://pypackaging-native.github.io/key-issues/native-depen... for details, including how PyTorch vendors Intel's libiomp while Scikit-learn vendors clang's libomp or GNU's libgomp.

Rather than deal with that mess, I provide source, and test with libgomp.

Well for one, the pharmacy isn't moving.
I don't think they measure if plants/bacterium are anesthetized, but in exposing them to things that cause anesthesia in humans, other potentially unrelated effects are noticed.

Many compounds/mechanisms, especially hormones and neurotransmitters, are widely "re-used" across different biologies for completely different things. They're essentially generic semaphores, and the action caused by raising the semaphore can be basically anything. There's a lot of variance in effect even among different instances of human species, often quite unpredictable, contradictory, and profound.

It's sort of like "hey we already have this testosterone thing, it's currently used to call [function A] but we could refactor that to use it to initiate [function B] instead" (testosterone causes growth in many mammals but inhibits growth in lizards, so female lizards are larger than male lizards)

or "hey we already have the genes to make serotonin for gastrointestinal regulation, but it's not used for anything in the brain. The blood-brain-barrier already prevents somatic serotonin from reaching the brain so we could have a completely different function for it in the brain and regulate gut and brain serotonin in isolation of eachother"

or "hey we have this cholesterol thing that we've been using as a signaling hormone ever since we were on version Plant, maybe we could write a factory that modifies the cholesterol we eat and use it to produce new semaphores like estrogen and testosterone to support a more complex messaging system and handle all the new effects rather than overloading the existing semaphore".

Edit: Probably slightly better to think of them as the coefficients for activation functions, but nothing here is meant to be anywhere remotely close to a direct analogy. Taking any of this literally would be a misreading.
> there may be quantum effects involved

Quantum Mechanics is why atoms and molecules exist and form bonds. QM is the physics of chemistry. Without QM, chemistry does not happen. The universe would just be a big churning mess of particles and you would never get little lego pieces that snap together according to repeatable rules that, when repeated, form macroscopic substances of innumerable description up to and including life itself.

So QM is no doubt involved, but on this scale it is either a trivial fact or an indication that someone tried to lean on a classical approximation, it broke, and they had to revise it (which arguably says more about the approximation than it says about the underlying behavior).

Apologies for the nitpick. It's a pet peeve of mine that discussions of QM tend to focus so hard on the strange behavior that they forget to mention where QM fits into the bigger picture and leave people with the impression that it only matters under special circumstances when in fact it matters so much that you can hardly have "matter" without it.

Re: anesthetic, a large fraction of simple halocarbon compounds have intense neural effects, so anyone doing halocarbon chemistry would quickly be put on the "scent" even if they weren't tasting everything in the Sigma Aldrich catalog.
> Once a thief has stolen his 10th iPhone that he can't do anything with, he'll probably be less likely to bother stealing iPhones. If anything it's a liability since it can be tracked as long as it still has some battery.

Theft isn't just for the whole device, it's also for parts. By making the part market so difficult they essentially create a black market for it in third world countries where just the phone's battery could be worth a day's wages.

There was an SF story I read years ago where the core concept was that humanity had somehow "missed" an obvious power-source/FTL drive, which meant that the "solution" to the Drake Equation is that the galaxy is full of intelligent, star-spanning empires that are effectively stuck at a late-1800s tech level (with starships), because getting to there was easy, and doing all the complex 20th century stuff humanity has done is really hard. Hijinks and hilarity ensues when they reach earth.

Who here in the HN crowd would be up for porting this to Android as a sort of open-source crowdsource project? Any takers?

You’re welcome to do so, just make it free for everybody."
I would argue reasonable to believe it will be notably better until it is catastrophically wrong. The issue with neural nets is that they can be really well trained within the bounds of training set; however, when faced with novel, there is no underlying abstraction inference on which to revert. Look instances where autonomous cars are disable or have weird responses when people modify signs[1]. The driving will be better, but the when the information sits squarely outside of the norm (art on the road, abstract images that defy normal depth cues, etc), the car will do very unexpected things.

As humans, we have this issue already. We call them "optical illusions." Optical illusions are really brain neural net failures where there are competing narratives between evaluations of the information provided by our senses we conclude invalid results. We don't have the ability to process absolute light values, so we infer colorspace by relative color within our 3D mental model, which can result in inferring a difference in color where there is none.

> People love to work.

Maybe software folks are a different breed (perhaps because code and computers are like Adult Legos) but I can’t agree more.

I love what I do, and I often struggle with “my employer is clearly exploiting my desire to work late this weekend” with my literal desire to work late this weekend.

I can’t imagine a world where code is written by computers, that’s maximum cruelty to me.
I’m not saying this doesn’t happen but I can’t remember ever having been asked to install a root certificate when joining an airport wifi. And I am confident that this has never happened when I’ve flown out from Gatwick.
> A few programmers will remain as the LLMs high priests.

That's interesting.

It's controversial to say that in 2024, but not all opinions have the same value. Some are great, but some are plain dumb. The current corporate right opinion is to praise LLMs as end-all be-all. I've been asked to advise a private banking family office wanting to get into LLMs. For advising their clients' financial decisions. I politely declined. Can there be a worse use case? LLMs are parrots with the brain size of the internet. With thoughts of random origin mixed together randomly. It produces wonderful form, but abysmal analysis.

IMHO as LLMs will begin to be indistinguishable from real users (and internet dogs), there's going to be a resurging need to trace origin to a human; and maybe to also rank their opinions as well. My money is on some form of distributed social proof designating the high priests.
The ROM on the GBA is mapped into memory at high memory addresses (0x08000000 and above). The audio "working" buffer is in low memory (I think somewhere near 0x02000000?). An interrupt fires when the audio chip reads to the end of the working buffer that looks something like this:

- run the function to fetch the next batch of audio to audio working RAM

- reset the audio read pointer to the beginning of audio working RAM

When interrupts are disabled (because the game has crashed), that "reset pointer" code never runs and the audio circuit keeps reading way past the end of its buffer, incrementing forever. Eventually it would increment into the 0x08000000 range in which case the sounds it's emitting map directly to the bits in the ROM.
dict() can be useful for enforcing (or indicating to the reader) that keys are strings and valid Python identifiers. {} allows arbitrary keys, as long as the data type is hashable.

I care a lot about some low life scumbag not profiting from it. Anything that discourages theft is great.

I'd go further and say that among the intellectual elite, having a degree is more based on whether or not your interests overlap with things that colleges have to offer than some default for very smart people. It is not the default now.
Sorry, Nu metal. It was more in the sense of the hippie movement falling out of mainstream for good around the 00's, at least on my view of the world, of course
> Ahhh - that old craptacular definition. You completely ignore mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, electrical & electronics engineers. Not all engineers make bridges.

I suppose you've got an engineering degree in pedantic engineering? Engineers manage cost and risk. The skunk-works stuff is marginally "science" not "engineering" given the relatively large budgets and relative lack of "we know this works." Cern is similarly an enormous engineering enterprise in that it's a huge stack of "we know this works" in service of "we're not sure what this will do"

A discussion of how "software engineers" deliver projects with neither cost or risk as part of the process implies, to me, that they're not engineers.
Aside from arguments about performance and memory safety, I'm generally more likely to try something written in Rust (or Go) because projects in those languages tends to be easy to build or download as a static binary. For Rust projects, `cargo install <name>` generally works. On the other hand, when I see something written in C++ or Python, it's an indicator that there may be significantly more work involved

Always report anything suspicious to the flight attendants. In the past there were some accidents that could've been prevented if passengers spoke up.

Okay. Sounds like your demand exceeds your supply. This bodes well for your candidates, whose skills are in demand. But you are also not paying infinity dollars for them, right? I was just stating that, all else being equal, if there are more suitable candidates per given position, you could end up paying less, because of the higher competition. Once you get into highly specialized domains, both competition and mobility decrease. Ideally, one might seek specialist-level salary for otherwise-generalizable work.
So the next step for the criminals (the ones who steal both the passcode and phone) is to find your address (often stored in Contacts, or available in your Amazon account) then physically
go there and lurk nearby while finishing their pwning steps.

I may be missing something. But if not it seems like Apple is now incentivizing a scenario where thieves will physically go to the location of their victims homes in order to circumvent some of these measures.
Lion Air 610 crashed October 29, 2018. BA closed at $357 that day. It continued to go down to $304 on December 17th 2018. By February 25 2019 it hit a high of $440. A month later Ethiopian Airlines 302 crashed sending BA down again. The larger issue beyond this was covid sending the stock plummeting so it didn't really have a chance to rebound after the affected 737 models were recertified and not grounded anymore.

But you're coming at this from a long term investing point of view. If you're day trading or swing trading (which is likely given it's an individual stock and buying individual stocks for a long term investment is rarely a good idea) then it presents an opportunity. Of course, nothing is a sure bet in the market but seeing something like Boeing down 18% can present a short term opportunity for speculators. Would I put BA in my retirement funds? Absolutely not. Would I try to swing trade BA in a case like this? There's a good chance.
they already solved this with DNS, how about a certificate chain? so (at the very worst) you can revoke the certificate on the stolen car. But also allow lost keys to be replaced by reprogramming them from a dealer certificate (which could also be revoked, and have a TTL). No, I dont want the car to require an internet connection to start, but I think its reasonable to say "to enable anti-theft, your car must resync at least every 6 months to update certificates. If not, it will be easier to steal and you can pay into a higher insurance pool".
> Are you SURE you want to completely destroy those commits? (Y/n)

While there is a lot of user interfaces that could be improved, I believe the above have empirically been shown to be inferior to the alternative "re-run this command but add scary option to proceed".

Users habitually answer "Y" to questions like the above all the time. And certainly after a few times it becomes routine for anyone. But having to re-enter the command and type some a whole word like "overwrite", "force" or "i-know-what-im-doing" is a whole other roadblock. The example is especially ill-chosen to have Y as the default option.

Any operation in git that destroys so many commits will include a list of commits that is destroyed, similar to what is suggested here, and trying to push the resulting repository will say exactly how many commits will be removed, and require rerun with force option (together with the necessary privileges). So reality is already not far from what you suggest, but with more fail safes.
It's true unfortunately, at least based on what I've been told, and read.
Just want to provide a second data point on the Dell hubs - I have two, one D6000 and one D3100. They're both DisplayLink, one appears to be higher end than the other.

While I was using them with the M1 Mac Mini, they were excellent, at least for the 1080p 75Hz monitor I was using them for. Fortunately it was being used as a second monitor to a much larger 4K primary display. I will say that subjectively it sometimes felt like it was running at say, 40-50fps rather than at 75, especially if there was lots of motion, but I never did experience significant artifacts or anything that would have suggested it was not native.

This was after installing the proper drivers and all of its optional addons, and this led to a fairly "it just works" experience for me. Monitors showed up under Settings as monitors and didn't disconnect randomly or do anything that caused me to pay particular attention to them.

If anyone wants me to test them with something else, I still have them around, so maybe I can try it out if that would be helpful.

As for anyone looking for a DisplayLink dock, I would say these work pretty well. You can find them cheap on eBay if you like to do things like that.
