>> But take container queries, for example. They were the number one feature requested by front-end devs for a looong time. So why don’t we use them more, now that they’re finally here?

A number of things are in play here.

1) when people ask for something it's because they need it now. The client wants it to look like x. Providing it a year later doesn't mean I'll retro-fit it, I'm working for another client now.

2) the new features on offer are (mostly) not low-hanging fruit. 20 years ago we were asking for the basics - not-table layout (flex, grid), variables (var --), conditionals (@media) and so on. The low hanging fruit stuff. Now "most people" aren't really asking for anything. (The sliver of a minority attending css conferences naturally are dreaming up new edge cases.)

3) most of the websites that exist (aka have been styled) are older than these features. Since redesigns are typically multiple years apart it takes years for them to filter in. As a proportion the number of sites built, or updated, in the last year is small. And the proportion of those needing these features is smaller.

4) most sites are not styled from an empty notepad. Most use (reuse) a framework - either personal or public.

CSS is starting to move from mid-stage to late-stage development. We're well passed the "terrible to work with" stage, well passed the "good enough" stage, and now into the "what can we dream up stage".

That said I can see myself using some of these things - sub-grid and :has being the obvious ones for me.

This article has a lot of opinions (it’s from a union organization) without a lot of citations. In the 1970s, a lot of things changed (e.g. see this discussion[0]). Seems this article wants to focus on its narrative of what happened in the 1970s.

It doesn't mean that but your analogy implies that what's important is the outcome being death either way.

That the paths may seem less or more preferable isn't actually the point of your analogy, it's that either way in the end: You die.

You also made this analogy as a counterpoint to the claim that women are the big winners on dating apps by far.

It's like if someone said smokers and non-smokers are both going to die anyways.

While that's certainly true, the implication (that it doesn't matter whether or not you smoke), is wrong.

Likewise, the implication of your analogy is wrong in my opinion.

One is clearly far worse and you have already acknowledged this.

Getting 0 matches and being inundated with matches that don't work out are in no way comparably bad outcomes on a dating app. Especially because these are -matches-, and that's the key metric of success on virtually every dating app.

> Maybe there should be a system to filter actual complex cases up layers of specialty

I mean, this is normally your GP referring you to a specialist, and 99% of the time that works. But when your specialist doesn't even know enough to know where to refer you next you end up in a weird space that is incredibly challenging to navigate. It would be good if there was an "expert diagnosticians" group that you could go to when even specialists are stumped. They could help navigate referrals to specialists, tests-of-treatment and enrollment in trials (which is a whole other minefield).
Have been using gioui to build streaming apps. It’s very easy and upgrading is always easy because it’s golang and the core devs take it seriously when they make a change.

When I need a web gui I use a gioui plugin system here:
https://github.com/gioui-plugins/gio-plugins

WebViews work on web, desktop and mobile. It’s amazing. Deep linking also so you can send out a link to an email or Monike notification and the users app will open the gio gui in the right part of the gui.

It also has notifications and share extensions for all OS’s. It’s really a complete system. I can’t believe how much devs complain about things not being easy , when it’s all there. I definitely share the feelings that’s it’s so hard to support so many OS’s, but it’s the world we live in - plurality.

I like how I can do all of this with only golang , instead of switching between bits and bobs.

I always write my golang backend to work with gio and html.

So if I need SEO or video playback I can still do it in a web view and also keep googles seo happy for the gio web. I just use Hugo and feed it markdown. This is what Google SEO sees.
I think basically there are three camps - those with problems they can't solve easily (trauma, situation) general unhappiness

Re costs rising: it's called inflation. It is mostly dependent on government decisions, and is not directly affected by the technology and progress.

For your specific home heating/cooling example: in general, if you adjust for inflation, the electricity is cheaper than 10 years ago [0]. Gas is much more variable, but right now it's slightly cheaper than 10 years ago [1]. That's national averages. Your particular case might be more complex - your state might have added new taxes, that'd increase price. Or your home might be more efficiently insulated and your A/C system could be more efficient too - this will decrease price.

Today’s profits are the only thing that matter in a world of financialization.

... is this trying to argue that corporations cared about all of that stuff before financialization? Because that is what it seems like it's trying to argue. And as anyone who's done even a cursory glance at the history of the 19th century well knows, corporations were far more rapacious than they are today.

> you can quickly apply for an online demo on our website to experience first hand all the powerful features of nocobase that I have introduced.

That's oddly phrased and gives off the impression that it is developed & maintained by a single developer(as is the case for most oss projects and could be true here based on their product hunt page) but it makes commercial users hesitate a bit especially if they want to build important business workflow tools using this software.

I think having a demo but gating that with a form asking for email, industry, scale, job title etc is going to harm more than not having a demo. If the goal is to prevent abuse, asking for email signup is reasonable.

Apparently I was a bit wrong - the plugins are not seperate (if you want to write closed-source plugins you should use the commerical license, not the AGPL).

The schema and data and UI configs should be private though - so enough to build a wiki or notion-like site, and set up some integrations based on the free plugins.

That describes the whole internet. It was never meant to be anything more, so that's what we got.

Which was fine, until we had the bright idea of feeding it all into a neural network as a collection of facts.

Then we gave that neural network a voice and a personality. It spoke with the utmost confidence as the expert on any subject.

American higher education seems to be doing just fine.
It was an essential utility to low-level format IBM PC and compatible hard drives with certain split HDD controllers like MFM and RLL before the advent of IDE. It served a purpose on these drives+controllers where it (re)wrote track and sector layouts but could brick some of the transitional IDE-like hard drives that weren't meant to ever be low-level formatted. Later HDDs had no need for such a utility.

It could also be done on some controllers from debug without any UI or sector testing like so: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aaoa

The advantage of SpinRite was it was a gold-plated tool for a specific purpose and could check for errors along the way.
It is quite the conundrum today that the FDA is criticized harshly on all sides, left and right, for being both too restrictive and too permissive (food ingredient blacklist instead of EU whitelist, approving that Alzheimer's treatment that's probably going to do nothing but grift Medicare for billions of $).

Of course with a large number of food and drugs, they'll always be too restrictive on some things and too permissive on others, but I don't envy their position.

I also tried this as I assumed it was searching all symbols, but it looks like it's only searching artifacts. Once you're into an artifact you get a search within that.

The keyboard navigation on the search doesn't work (pressing enter closes the results, doesn't navigate), and I find a search over artifacts to be too limiting for my use-case, but I guess it's not wrong.

Sometimes working out the details what is the right output of a piece of code (like, in the line x = f(15), is x 2345 or 2346?) is very time consuming

It's also sometimes unnecessary to understand the high level picture of what the code does (like "oh, this computes the GCD using Euclidean algorithm, I had to code this in uni once")

So, most people read in a higher level fashion and understand just fine. It's really like reading math. When you read 23443 + 54454 * 454534, do you need to work out the computation to understand what this does?
There is a study i read a while ago which basically said fMRI pattern comparison studies may be suspect because of what fMRI actually does.

> why do you even own a car? Renting is pretty cheap if you only need one occasionally.

Because owning a small, cheap car doesn’t cost much and is way more convenient than renting one.

For example. I use my car when I need to transport something I can’t take on my bike. I might need to pick up a package from the nearest parcel point that’s too big or too heavy to transport otherwise. This is about 500 meters from my house, just too far to walk with a heavy package (done that, not fun) but renting a car for a 2 minute trip seems a bit ridiculous.

Or I may want to buy a few crates of beer for a party. A bit inconvenient to get by bike (although possible). This is a 1 kilometer trip. Again, not worth the trouble renting a car for but not a problem if I already have a car anyway.

Or I may need to take some stuff to the recycling center. Again a short trip (2 kilometers).

You may start to see a pattern here. If I had to rent a car for those situations then it would take me more time to pick up and retrieve a rental than for the trip I need it for.

> your analogy implies that what's important is the outcome being death either way.

No, the analogy means both genders are not achieving their intended and goal.

Apples and oranges are both round fruit, but we still use this as an idiom because the distinction are important. In fact, the idiom itself is about things that have surface level similarities but that details matter.

Which you're right to point out that the details matter. I'm not disagreeing with your thesis. I'm disagreeing with your interpretation. If a doctor says you should eat more fruit, they don't care if you eat apples or oranges. Basically, context. You put too much information into what was intended to be conveyed. This has been explained to you. So now if you don't understand that's on you.

And I need to reiterate. Language is imperfect. You'll always be about to find reasons to disagree or misinterpret. This whole conversation is an illustration of the imperfection.

Metrics are the downfall of meritocracies. Maybe this is why you're misunderstanding. No, dates are not the goal. Dates are a step along the path to the goal. The goal is to find a partner. Not for everyone, but that's definitely the goal in the context of this thread.
