> Optical phase singularities are zeros of a scalar light field. The most systematically studied class of singular fields is vortices: beams with helical wavefronts and a linear (1D) singularity along the optical axis. Beyond these common and stable 1D topologies, we show that a broader family of zero-dimensional (point) and two-dimensional (sheet) singularities can be engineered. We realize sheet singularities by maximizing the field phase gradient at the desired positions. These sheets, owning to their precise alignment requirements, would otherwise only be observed in rare scenarios with high symmetry. Furthermore, by applying an analogous procedure to the full vectorial electric field, we can engineer paraxial transverse polarization singularity sheets. As validation, we experimentally realize phase and polarization singularity sheets with heart-shaped cross-sections using metasurfaces. Singularity engineering of the dark enables new degrees of freedom for light-matter interaction and can inspire similar field topologies beyond optics, from electron beams to acoustics.

In 2014 I was at Oracle Open World. A 3rd party hardware vendor was saying (and having customers) for Hadoop "clusters" that had 8 cpu cores. Basically their pitch was that Oracle Hardware (ex sun) started at a dense full rack of about a 1 million USD or so, but with the 3d party you could have a hadoop "cluster" in 2U and for 20K. The oracle thing was actually quite price competitive at the time, if you needed hadoop. The 3rd party thing was overpriced for what it was.
Yet, I am sure that 3rd party hardware vendor made out like bandits.
That would actually be an interesting comparison (and I guess the answer isn't at all obvious): is there more computing power decentralized in billions of mobile phones, computers and game consoles (even washing machines), or centralized in thousands of data centers?

> HTML becomes unreadable

To be honest, I don't find that a problem. Most frontend development is done in a higher-order abstraction like React. For the most part, I don't read HTML and I don't write HTML. If you use the right level of composition, "div soup" should never really be a problem.

> "EPUB originally didn't support remote resources and people put a lot of work into changing. Loading stuff over the network is HTML's killer feature."

And it is a feature of books that they stay the same.

Both can be a feature, the ability to change (e.g. they fix something in the cloud), and the disability to change (e.g. you can have it as you bought it).

This was a much smaller tech-enabled population, and even that was moving mountains. I'm not saying it can't be done but it's important to recognize it's a very uphill battle since Chrome is not a bad browser and IE was.

This isn't even remotely the same game here.
I can't understand why people bother about HTML with long class attributes so much. If you use "btn" instead of a long string of Tailwind classes, you just move the actual CSS properties into a stylesheet file, which you need to switch back and forth to just to change the looks of that button.

And having said that, when using Tailwind with some kind of component-centred framework, those classes will be local to a <Button> component anyway, which is exactly the same as some kind of custom component the author praises (that also needs styles within.)
>when a multinational corporation is looking at the prospect of possibly losing billions of dollars in zero-effort recurring profit. I also think these sort of behaviors are damaging their brand, which is certainly Apple's most valuable asset - which is to say that I think they're acting in an irrational way, because of the amount of money at stake.

Being a Mac user since the 90's, it is unfortunate what Apple has become. However, this is often happens when a charismatic leader leaves the company (in one way or another). From what is seen in the the process of how so many startup at YC went from little company to transnational corporation, and what people's reaction to them have changed over the course of the year as well as the influence of funding and corporate culture has on a company are also very telling.

Now days I'm sticking to linx BSD F-Droid for personal stuff even though they are not as user friendly in the UI aspect.

Must be nostalgia. AI is much, much worse. And, even more importantly, not only it is a annoying buzzword, it is already threatening lives (see the mushroom guide written by AI) and democracies (see the "singing Modi" and "New Hampshire Officials to Investigate A.I. Robocalls").

Also both OpenAI and Anthrophic argued if licenses were required to train LLMs on copyrighted content, today’s general-purpose AI tools simply could not exist.
For me, the main problem with most tools that render to HTML was that they don't support all math typesetting libraries that latex supports. I used to work with category theory, where it's common to use the tikz-cd library to typeset commutative diagrams. tikz-cd is based on tikz, which is usually not supported for HTML output.

But apart from math typesetting, my latex documents were usually very simple: They just used sections, paragraphs, some theorem environments and references to those, perhaps similar to what the stack project uses [3]. Simple latex such as this corresponds relatively directly to HTML (except for the math formulas of course). But many latex to html tools try to implement a full tex engine, which I believe means that they lower the high-level constructs to something more low level (or that's at least my understanding). This results in very complicated HTML documents from even simple latex input documents.

So what would've been needed for me was a tool that can (1) render all math that pdflatex can render, but that apart from math only needs to (2) support a very limited set of other latex features. In a hacky way, (1) can be accomplished by simply using pdflatex to render each formula of a latex document in isolation to a separate pdf, then converting this pdf to svg, and then incuding this svg in the output HTML in the appropriate position. And (2) is simply a matter of parsing this limited subset of latex. I've prototyped a tool like that here [1]. An example output can be found here [2].

Of course, SVGs are not exactly great for accessibility. But my understanding is that many blind mathematicians are very good at reading latex source code, so perhaps an SVG with alt text set to the latex source for that image is already pretty good.

Not just the workstations. You really need to factor in the other carbon output of those developers for the time spent on the project too, not just the tools.

And you then need to consider to what extent any performance saving will be efficiently captured as reduced power use.

But, yes, fully agree.

One system I worked on recently involved about 20 developer years of effort, and about 40 core years of computation... I'm pretty sure the developers machines combined spent far more energy than the production systems, for a Ruby deployment, before factoring in any other energy use relating to difference in effort.

Well, yes. American discourse has got backed into this corner:

- "the government" (broadly defined) is not supposed to be able to spy on people

- there is no general privacy law, only narrowly defined bits for e.g. video rental records and libraries

- corporations spying on people is completely normalized

- reporting the results of your spying to other people is free speech

> If there is no law against the proprietor bundling up his customer data and selling it, it doesn't seem like there is a strong legal case against police using it.

So long as there's a strong "corporations good, government bad" faction this is going to continue to be a problem.

(Weirdly, the "government bad" faction don't seem to be concerned with police accountability at all, except in very narrow cases where one of their own is arrested for blatent crimes)
You mean the EU/ECJ?
Decent arguments. Ultimately, I think your preference comes down to:

- Do you care about how your html output looks? - I personally don't, just like I don't care about what my Webpack bundle looks like. Web standards will always be slower to evolve, which is why we build tooling on top.

- How do you think web components will be used? - I believe they will be used sparsely, only by libraries. But if you want to replace your frontend framework (I currently don't see why), Tailwind will not work.

We've opted to work with CSS Modules (which give you many of the Shadow-DOM advantages), but I would be lying if I didn't see the appeal of Tailwind every day. For me, it's the redundancy of having to give semantic names to elements that are already described by their React component names.

Tangentially, developers often are tempted to use classes for things that should be components. CSS classes must not be used for code reuse on a large scale, because CSS and HTML are bidirectionally coupled and you will end up search-replacing large sections of html because the design team wanted the text to align in a way that is somehow impossible without adding a div.
A study hopefully displays their findings truthfully. This was a result they found.
The government is not obligated to implement the dishonest incentive structure just because a study found it to be effective.

Now whether they did so or not I don’t know. I hope not because it is the sort of thing that works in the short term and drastically undermines trust in the long term.
Tailwind is opinionated, meaning it encourages a structure that helps devs avoid common potholes.

You may not like its choices but saying it creates a mess has been the opposite of my experience.

One of the main pitfalls I have noticed no longer running into is that the structure tailwind encourages prevents issues with CSS selector specificity. As a result I’ve definitely noticed fewer instances of ‘!important’ in code review.
Well yes, but even in the 1990s, I remember talk by parents at the primary school gate along the lines of:

"Did you hear [child Y] tried to get pulled into a van?"

And it was talked about like a casual fact-of-life hazard which just happens sometimes.

In the 1990s I had an absurd amount of freedom to roam, walked myself to school from age 6 and had very little oversight. It wasn't safe, not by a LONG way, as the area was very poor and rough.

It did give me both hugely valuable life tools and an adulthood of inappropriate anxiety and hightened response to small threats.

I feel like we should work to give children the skills without the threat being so high that it causes long-term issues in adulthood. Children need safety to grow well.

It did get good feedback on HN. Most people here love native apps. But the real question is, did people here actually support the developer and buy the app?

Depends on what you're going to use them for. If you need the actual JS functionality web components can offer, then yes. Though at this point you're in JS land anyways and probably using some kind of web component library (or your custom-built helpers/wrappers/etc.), which usually handles this for you.

If all you want to do is prevent the "div/span-tag soup" as he calls it, you don't have to register anything, though. You can just write <ui-card><ui-card-header>My header</ui-card-header></ui-card> and style that using regular CSS à la ui-card { background-color: red; }.

You mean like this one?

https://github.com/seanmonstar/httparse/pull/86/files#diff-4...
If horizontal reading bothers you so much it resembles a hellish nightmare (Dante would like to have a word with you), nobody stops you from going like this:

<button class="
flex
bg-blue-400
p-4
">Submit</button>

And you actually can target other components. There are lots of sibling selectors, including named groups:

<label class="group/field">
<input type="text" />
<span class="order-1 text-black group-focus-within/field:text-blue-500">Name</span>
</label>
But at that point the price has already been paid. If you bring back rocks, or air. Same cost.

If I take a first class flight, how much does it cost to take my phone? Yes I could apportion a fraction of the cost of the ticket to the phone, but most would say free.

Now if the whole purpose of the flight were to get the phone from London to new York, the entire cost should be attributable to the phone, it is the reason for the journey.

Was extra fuel specifically brought? Or was it just safety margin? The Landers had spare fuel when they landed, is that waste, or safety margin?
This is such a common yet niche ask - silent fanless(light on cpu capacity) but more IO capabilities (NVMe slots, SATA ports, and NICs) for those seeking to make their own NAS. Why aren’t companies like Asus, Gigabyte, etc sell such kits and win the market share?
It’s always - here is a ITX motherboard, but it lacks proper storage. Or here is a SOC board with nice storage options but crippled NIC etc. If someone made a product with little to no compromise, and gain the recommendation of the self hosting crowd, more and more newcomers will start buying stuff instead of Raspberry Pis which are way too underpowered for such use cases.
How many people do you know who work on browsers though?
> I think another discouraging aspect is HTML CSS are so huge and bloated at this point that few people can implement a "reader" for EPUB/HTML. It's basically "go implement a new browser". It makes one think a easy-to-parse markdown (like Djot) with some extra rendering bells and whistles would be a more likely long term solution

This feels like the biggest hurdle to me. The author says "Portable HTML generation principle: when possible, systems that generate portable EPUBs should output portable HTML.". I don't think this is going far enough. If the goal is for this format to be everywhere and repeatable then it needs to be standardised and easy to implement a new rendering engine. Relying on webviews doesn't feel like the way forward. The beauty of PDF is that it is incredibly reliable - a PDF from a decade ago still renders the same today as it used to.

I suspect if an effort like this is to get off the ground, the scope of the document needs to be scaled right back. The subset of XHTML allowed should be very limited. The ability to render a document that looks the same everywhere should be prioritised - fixed layout at a fixed page size first, reflowable second. It needs a standard with a comprehensive test suite of documents + render outputs.
Be careful what you wish for, because you wont just get less crime but less deviant behavior.

My laptop is a SPoF in exactly the same way.

If my laptop is closed then data collection will still happen, as collection and processing are different systems; but my ability to mutate the data hands-on is affected.

Thus any downtime of my laptop is not really a problem.

See also: Jupyter notebooks, Excel, etc;

I will also point out that robustness in distributed systems is not as cut and dry for two reasons:

1: These are not considered hot-path systems that are mission critical so will be neglected by SRE.

2: Complexity is increased in distributed systems, thus you have more likelihood of failure until you have a lot of effort put into it.
I hated tailwind with a passion at first glance. I thought it looked horrible and while it still does, I decided I don't care.

After a while of using Tailwind at work, I have started to love it. It it just so much more productive and I rarely need to step into css-land anymore. You still need to know and understand how CSS works in order to get the most out of Tailwind.

Tailwind is just like CSS but with shortcuts ready there for you to use.

It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you force people to differentiate to compete, then there will be more innovation and diversity. That also means there’s less incentive to create “yet another journaling app” because you don’t know what is “too similar” for the reviewer. (Real example: “you can’t list this because it has a similar feature to X” rebuttal: “X has many features, but we are focusing on simplicity and this feature is our only feature we intend to support. For privacy, we won’t sync or do any of the other fancy things X does.” Their final response: “it’s still too similar” — all paraphrases). In order to compete in established verticals, your app has to be nearly feature complete and “different enough” as well as be completely polished. This is quite a gamble when starting out.

(BTW many years ago I experimented creating chess variants, before I even knew it was a thing. I invented a number which all felt contrived, but one actually felt right and an improvement, which is the ability to take your own pieces, as well as the enemy's. Turns out that somebody's already invented it (search for 'self eliminator chess') and they considered it to have potential. The value of it was it allows you to trade off position for pieces. It really changed how the game felt for the better. FYI anyway, YMMV)
