That's where it may get a little too pedantic, but I'll try. I do consider CSS modules using CSS as a DSL, but I don't consider it as using CSS the browser spec.

CSS modules still run through a build and bundling step which, in my opinion, kicks it out of the "I'm just using CSS" camp.

Does anyone know why The New York Times hosts an audio version of a The New Yorker article?
Literally the only hurricane that made landfall in Florida as a Category 5 after Andrew was Michael in 2018, so most Floridians haven't experienced a Category 5 hurricane in decades (if ever). (Irma and Ian were downgraded before making landfall in the US.)

Michael did confirm that the new building codes were effective -- structures built prior to 2002 suffered much worse damage. From an early reconnaissance report [0]: "However, roof cover and wall cladding damage was still commonly observed even in newer structures. Failures were frequently observed in both engineered and non-engineered buildings."

Michael also highlighted that no matter how much you strengthen the building code, that means nothing for old buildings that haven't been updated, or for infrastructure (downed power lines and transmission towers, washed out roads and bridges, etc).

Would a Category 5 hurricane be more damaging if it struck Manhattan rather than Miami? Absolutely. IMO that's a consequence of climate change we should be worrying more about than peak storm strength -- more places (that don't necessarily have the same historical awareness) are going to be affected by stronger storms (and more frequently! 2020 saw two back-to-back Cat 4s make landfall in Nicaragua 15 miles and 2 weeks apart).

To say that Cat 5 isn't that scary in Florida is underestimating how incredibly rare these are, and overestimating the building code's coverage / efficacy.

I find their supported devices list is quite small, considering, so did your family have devices on that list, or did you experiment by flashing other hardware?
An interesting development, that. After American English or Scouse or Scots, all "corruptions" of standard British English that became established enough to be their own thing, we could soon get Machine Translation English. The Guardian will be very unhappy about it.

The number sounds wrong. Most meteorites are made of conductive material. And I've never heard of small meteors not burning up. The energy still has to go somewhere.
Nothing i guess. Ask anyone who knows music theory, there is a ton of math in music.

I did a music course last summer and met some prefessional musicians and also sound engineers working for big record labels. I saw specifically LANDR in action.

I think like all of these new AI tools, it can be a tool for you to use, but an amateur with untrained ears will still not make "professional-grade" masterings. But you can get maybe 80% there. If you're a hobbyist and don't know anything about mastering and can't afford to pay a professional, this is great!
It is useful to keep in mind the difference of 'music' and 'musical industry'. Musical industry relies on 'celebrity' and social interactions. It relies very little on its efficiency or performance at 'making music'. People want to hear what person 'X' is singing, and what 'story' they are telling.

To the very few that care only about the sound waves, AI will triumph because it will craft music that is perfect for that specific persons taste, and even include other parameters like tone, mood, state of mind, place of residence, weather...
Having used iPad Pro as daily driver since release of magic keyboard with trackpad, I agree with this take.

In particular, if you already use the new iPadOS "Stage Manager" with your business, productivity, and code apps in workspace clusters, you can use all the same apps, tools, and workflows as easily, plus spatial affordances.

Note that any iPad app, if pulled close to you to be about iPad sized within half an arm's reach, can be touched, scrolled, manipulated as if a literal iPad screen. This even works with apps such as Microsoft Whiteboard within Teams, you can write on the shared whiteboard with your fingertip. Of course, lack of solidity makes this far less precise than the literal iPad.

If you find the iPad Pro w/ Magic Keyboard and Trackpad and the Stage Manager approach to multi-task work constraining relative to laptop, you will be even less happy with AVP.

PS. This laptop and tablet case is one of the slimmest that carries both Macbook Pro 16" together with iPad Pro 13" in its Magic Keyboard w/ Trackpad "case" sleekly with plenty of space for all accessories:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y2Y9PYM/

It has a particularly nice pull strap that lifts the iPad out from the iPad slot. Carrying this case means you always have both with you.

If your use of the iPad is so comfortable you prefer to reach for that over the Macbook for most things even when both are at hand, going to the Macbook only when you need to do something in terminal you can't do in Blink shell, you will probably be fine for remote work using AVP.
Examples like this post are why I think HN should revisit the rules about accurate titles. If this post were just "windowsill [video]" I wouldn't have clicked.
Yes but there is a reason for it being 100mb. You get a self-contained app where you can get to write in javascript. You don't have to spend 100x the time in order to get the same app working in Rust.

If size is such a big deal, then don't use Deno, Node or Bun.

My issue is that most people that are working in restricted environments would never touch javascript since it's not well suited for those kinds of environments. People that complain tend to be haters that just want something to hate upon.

It used to be about php, now it's about javascript.
Some things that might greatly increase wasm usage and overall tooling:

1) Tools that run docker containers and serverless function services (like AWS lambda) to support providing a .wasm files instead

2) Garbage collection in the runtime to make GC languages easier to port to wasm

3) Dynamically typed languages (NodeJS, Python, Ruby) being able to compile to webassembly directly instead of porting the runtime to webassembly and then running the code through the runtime. This is a big ask though, basically needs to redesign the runtime completely

4) wasm-DOM bindings will enable other languages to do HTML rendering which will require new web frameworks for every language that wants to take over the space from JS. This will lead to (even more) fragmentation of the web ecosystem

5) A new wasm-first SDK (unrelated to the DOM) for building cross platform applications. I can see this taking off only if it is built-into the browsers and backed by some standards committee, so not very likely I think

6) Something like the Interface Types proposal ( https://github.com/WebAssembly/interface-types/blob/main/pro... ) becomes a thing allowing wasm programs to be consisted of modules written in several different languages and being able to call said modules with low or 0 runtime performance hit (and of course, no compilation to multiple CPU archs). So much of programming ecosystems are locked to specific languages (like data science with python) when there is little technical reason for it be like that.
Am I wrong to think it seems probable that such things aren't realistically possible given the fact that the universe seems to be so lifeless?

If the practical limits of rocket technology don't allow life to much beyond their own solar system then given the vastness of space that would be a good reason why we don't see any evidence of intergalactic civilisations or large feats of engineering. All other explanations for why the universe seems to lifeless seem to rely on elaborate hypotheticals like us being an early civilisation, us being extremely lucky/improbable in other ways, or that alien life is anti-social. But it always seemed to me that the best explanation is probably just that such things are not possible.

I mean there's a chance there's some new physics out there, but you'd think if there was star wars level tech out there (warp drives, etc) then something out there would have built one already and would rather quickly spread outwards...
Yep, but it seems to be a PITA. They endure whatever changes happen on Firefox UI, which are well tested on Firefox, but not on Thunderbird and Thunderbird has much more UI to manage than Firefox. See this interesting Thunderbird talk at FOSDEM on visual change that mentions this issue [1].

You also kinda have to fork Firefox to do this. It would be good to be able to #include <gecko-embedded-framework.h> and build the UI from there. XULRunner seemed nice too.

Using Gecko when you are not Firefox is such a pain that

- all alternative browsers that are not forks of Firefox that were based on Gecko have abandoned: they stopped being maintained, or switched to WebKit or Blink, which is a shame.

- all apps based on XUL / Gecko, like Songbird, have mostly disappeared.

It needs to be easier.

Gecko seems like a drag for Thunderbird. It shouldn't. For this, it needs to be a proper toolkit, with stability guarantees, and proper support to third party apps, and easily reusable. That's not the focus for Firefox devs though.

I recall the book 'Bannerless' by Carrie Vaughn, depicting a post-apocalyptic world that fell, not with a bang but with a whimper.

Erosion of public services, erosion of cities, millions then billions of refugees, starvation and disease, collapse of order.

This is the scenario we should be anticipating.

It may just be how I structure layouts, but in 10+ Tailwind projects I've worked on I've never been able to avoid escaping TW at times and using @apply or directly styling with CSS selectors.

Some things just don't work well or at all in a class-based utility system. There's nothing wrong with that, but personally I'd rather stay with one styling paradigm and avoid having to decide when to break out of the "do everything in utility classes" model. The context switching isn't worth it for me and I still lose the benefit of colocation.
On my reading, the paper envisages that bombs will be destroyed by "cooking" the conventional explosive shell untilit explodes chaoticly [sp?]. In the event that the bomb's fissionable core is stored separately from the conventional shell, then it might induce the fissionable material to melt.

So I guess that if you targeted a reactor, you could induce a meltdown, given enough time-on-target.
Years ago during a week-long power outage, a telephone central office where we had some equipment suffered a generator failure. The telephone company had a backup plan (they kept one generator on a trailer in the city for such a contingency,) and they had battery capacity[0] for their critical equipment to last until the generator was hooked up.

They did have to load shed, though: they just turned off the AC inverters. They figured anything critical in a central office was on DC power, and if you had something on AC, you were just going to have to wait until the backup-backup generator was installed.

0 - at the time, at least, CO battery backup was usually sized for 24 hours of runtime.

Agreed.

It's absolutely appropriate for all of those tentative words to be used in this paper. It's raising a very interesting and potentially very important notion, and that is the merit of the paper. Sometimes the merit of a paper can be the evidence that is presented, but it doesn't need to be the case. This one is a very clear call for investigation. It's also an important part of academic publishing to be very clear when evidence is lacking - part of the point of doctoral training is to train the student to not claim something is true where there isn't sufficient evidence. If you're in your final examination for your doctorate and you are asked a question that you don't know the answer to, it's absolutely appropriate to respond with "I don't know". In fact, some examiners will deliberately ask such a question to check that you will respond like that.

I think it's probably more if you are not aware of tuning stereo width or stuff like that, it'll get you to a nice "default". But obviously if you're more knowledgable you might tune this yourself.

For loudness there are certain "standards": https://support.spotify.com/us/artists/article/loudness-norm... - it just makes distribution of your music much easier.

There are probably (or soon will be) different presets for mastering a rock track or an EDM track or a jazz track, with different targets for dynamics, loudness etc.
Isn't that what credit report companies and data providers (TransUnion / Experian / Equifax), Dun & Bradstreet, LexisNexis, etc. do/enable?

For the most part, if you exist in these databases KYC is going to be a lot easier than if you don't. Beyond that, I guess each organization has slightly different rules and regulations and risk tolerances around KYC to satisfy, so they wouldn't want to 100% outsource it.
> But don’t satellites have toxic components?

That depends on how you define "toxic". If you mean toxic fuels, most do not.

However the idea is just terribly impracticable. Heat shields are heavy and more than that you would need to design your satellite around the heat shield. It would need to be able to fold up like origami into the heat shield. You also need to add extra fuel to perform the targed re-entry. This whole idea is bad.
> lossless jpeg recompression kind of fits in the middle somewhere... you care enough about size to go through the trouble to recompress, but you don't care so much that you will use high-quality sources and you care about quality enough that you don't want to lose quality when recompressing, but again not so much that you will use high-quality sources.

You’re assuming that the high-quality original is still available. If the JPEG is all you have, then losslessly recompressing it is the smallest file of the highest quality you can get.

> 30% of iOS users aren't updating for whatever reason

That is not what the figures show. The figures show that over 90% of iOS users are upgrading. I believe you’ve mistaken are not on the latest version with aren’t upgrading. Those 22% are upgrading, it just takes them 12–24 months to do so.

> so they have an outdated WebKit with known vulnerabilities.

This is not true. Apple pushes security updates for old versions and includes a setting so that phones can auto-apply security patches even if the user doesn’t want to do a full upgrade to the latest version automatically.

It would be great if emacs had a LLM co-pilot, I could have it look at my config (and tell me what I could improve). Also i could ask how to do things in emacs, it would have some knowledge of my setup, even my active modes etc, often I get stuck and not sure what key combo or even command I want (the naming of commands are a bit weird at times).
Yeah AFAIK they have no relation to each other, other than the occasional friendly acknowledgement that the other exists. Perhaps that is enough?
Well. What I mean is that people have used mathematics in order to create music for a long time. But you're correct that everything is mathematical in a sense.

People tend to like the same pieces of music, so there is obviously specific patterns that people generally like. AI is good at finding patterns so in the end AI will become good at creating music.

I think.
Deep squats and deadlifts might just be the most useful strength exercises in your day to day life.

Your legs and your back are the two muscle groups you use the most. You always want to have good posture (deadlifts) and you always want to be able to move around easily (squats). Being the guy that opens any jar of pickles is cool and all, but those two alone definitely increase your QoL.

The worlds CO2 PPM would be significantly higher if nobody had done anything to mitigate the issue. America’s per capita CO2 emissions are down 6.6 tons (31%) per person just from 2000.
Last year that saved ~2.2 Billion tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.

People look at China’s growing emissions and get concerned, but just imagine if they still got 81% of their electricity from coal instead of already getting ~2.2 TWh of electricity per year from renewables. Battery electric cars already make up 26% of new cars sales in China and those cars are powered by an increasingly green grid.

Clearly climate change is still a major issue, but it’s a major issue being actively addressed.
It's not so much about performance. But especially in tiny companies, if you need to make redundancies, you are going to sort your spreadsheet of employees by cost descending. And if you look at the top spots and you're like "that guy really isn't our best employee" then you're going to be the first to go.

Financially, this will likely still work out well for you in the long run. But it may not be a great way to get top job stability.
> Essentially, people who have the luxury of taking their time to delay the hiring process as much as they can in order to maximize the number of concurrent offers.

I think this isn't as clear-cut as you're making it; the advice also applies to earlier-stage engineers. The key observation for those cases is that there _is_ a big return from running as intense a process as you can manage.

I think lots of folks apply for a few jobs at a time, and the point here is that you would likely be better off applying for 100 roles at once, rather than browsing and applying for a handful every week (and then tapering off if you get through the filter into a process that seems promising).

It's true that more-junior engineers will have fewer options, but I think you can still directionally update on this advice. I would also advise more junior engineers to actually run the funnel calculations to get a feel for how many applications you need to send out per onsite, as the dropoff is quite grim and therefore you need to push way harder than you might hope.
That would be good, but even better would be to practice daily a more complex exercise, like a tài-jí-quán form or a karate kata (executed slowly and without excessive force), both of which are excellent mobility and balance exercises for elderly people.

I doubt that "exergames" are as efficient as these traditional and proven methods, which require minimal space and time and no equipment.
Absolutely! Best way to optimize the costs of this abomination-of-storage called BigQuery from that abomination-of-tech company is to actually NOT use it. Postgres has pretty much everything you'd get from BigQuery if not more. Put on a proper hardware with proper tuning it becomes unbelievably fast. Much faster than BigQuery jobs for sure.

There's a lot of small luxury companies around the world. Watchmakers in Switzerland, champagne houses in France, tailors in England, yacht builders in Finland... Even though the products are expensive, their margins aren't as insane as it might appear because the manual production truly is expensive and the workers are often lifers who are treated very well.

A lot of these businesses do end up being absorbed by the big players like LVMH which grew into the most valuable company in Europe through decades of acquisitions. (The company's official name, LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, is itself suggestive of a merger between luxury players in unrelated markets.)
