While it hasn't been expressly resolved by the HTML working group to not propose new attributes with dashes, and while I don't speak for everyone in the HTML working group, I would assert that many members would object to a proposed attribute that included a dash (including myself).

There is also a proposal in the works to allow web developers to define custom attributes - much like custom elements - which would likely follow the same or similar rules around dashes, at which point I imagine the HTML spec would guarantee that no dashes would be used in "built in" attributes.

New attributes have been proposed that reasonably _could_ have had a dash, for example `popovertargetaction`, but instead they were compounded to one word precisely to cave out this path.

One problem I've grappled with is how I could prove my humanity to you. I have a tiny little web page, some programming guides I've written, and no ads or tracking. So if you went there, you'd probably think I was human, or at least the site was run by a human who either wrote or had an AI write the material.

How can I prove that I'm human and that I wrote the material?

The closest I've been able to think of is some kind of web of trust thing, but that's only so good.
Part of this is solved by sizing the ac correctly. Too powerful an ac and it doesn’t cycle as often and humidity builds.
I see a lot of those too, and I am confused at the purpose. Clearly congratulations are warranted, but it would be much less wasteful of everyone's time if those were sent directly to the person being congratulated, rather than to the entire org / company / world.

Is this just the sender looking for visibility? Does the recipient appreciate that yet another middle manager CC'd the whole company on a single sentence congratulatory message? Is there some other social function at work here that I don't understand?

Sometimes I think it would be funny if all the individual contributors coordinated to ALSO reply-all with "Congratulations", but it would become clear pretty quickly that something was up, and it's a mean thing to do to whomever is being congratulated.

from my own experience what notion did is pretty much required to use wasm sqlite with persistence in production. on the one hand being used at notions scale really points to wasm sqlite being ready for primetime, on the other hand there are still a LOT of ugly parts that need to be worked around:

- tooling, support and debugging for opfs

- only really works with a single worker using sync api, but this is not available from service workers

- the official js releases are really not idiomatic js and require in depth understanding to pick out the right parts and then build a usable layer on top, afaik there is no existing npm package that just provides what is required

Yeah, comedy always ages poorly. Even 40 year old comedy movies are often weak now. With 400 year old comedies it's surprising anything works.

Twelfth Night is actually one of the better ones. With some skillful editing and a good dose of physical comedy (basically you can write your own jokes), it can be entertaining. There's practically no salvaging something like Measure for Measure or All's Well That Ends Well.

Merchant... is complicated. (I have thoughts. I played a very well-received Shylock a few years back.) Think of it as a tragedy with some comic sub-plots. Which isn't unlike the tragedies, which also have comic sub-plots.

Even so, it's just a weird goddamn play. It is a tragedy that ends in act 4, followed by a really dumb romantic comedy one-act. The audiences comes out feeling, well, ooky. And you just gotta lean into that.

I believe it's a missed opportunity not to bundle sqlite in major browsers. I understand that making SQLite part of the browser spec introduces all sorts of complications [1] down the line. But nevertheless, it would have proved to be quite a nifty tool.

I do not think the difficulty with understanding Shakespeare is that they are "written in a language we no longer speak" but rather that they are written for a culture much different than our own. Shakespeare is loaded with wordplay, sly and overt references, callouts, contemporary jokes and in-jokes. How do you "translate" that?

He references a Western cultural history that we don't spend a lot of time learning anymore. As someone around a half-century old, I've noticed that most of my younger co-workers no longer "get" many references to bits of classic myth and history that were near-universal when I was growing up.

Imagine trying to "translate" all the cultural baggage of a very dense modern action-drama-comedy. It's not a matter of language, it's a matter of cultural familiarity. Sure, you can re-write Shakespeare for a different time and place, but you're not "translating" it, you're re-writing it, and producing a substantially transformed work by doing so.

They don't get it in the language they speak at all! Puns are shitty in translation, and Shakespeare is loaded with them. Modern English isn't good enough, you need the allusions, the little nods, the things that make it human.

Same, and the worst part is that Nest already includes a hygrometer to show humidity in the app. All they need to give the user is a toggle: setpoint in regular dry bulb temperature, or setpoint in calculated wet bulb temperature (or heat index or "feels like" or whatever user-friendly calculation). Although their remote temperature sensors don't have a hygrometer, only the main unit.

How is everyone not worse off under this plan? They are being bled dry by taxes and tossed a couple nickels back as UBI. No one would vote for this.

The only people who wouldn’t be worse off are people with no income to start with. I assume they’d get some base level $1k UBI.

I think Andrew Yang had the right idea, in the limited amount I heard. Tax the cooperations that are using AI or automation to reduce the need for workers. Their costs are going down, while their profits stay high, so capture that and give it to the people who were displaced. Bleeding the middle class, and people in general, doesn’t make sense.

My dating app idea is this: Men can only message 1 woman per day, but they get 1 more message coupon if they microblog about their day based on the premise that women are more interested in how men operate in the world than just good looks. If women don't respond after like 40 messages, then boot them off the platform because they are just using it for an ego boost with no intention of dating.
I lost my love for the web for two reasons.

1) It's largely lost its sense of fun.

2) With all the tracking, analytics, commerce, calls-to-action, "funnels", etc., so many websites set themselves up as adversaries to their audience that it's mostly stopped being worth bothering with.

I didn't miss the paragraph, but it seemed (and still seems) fundamentally confused to me.

[EDITED to add:] I do agree that when I said "X and Y are clearly not the same thing" I should have added something along the lines of "I see that after treating them as the same thing you say that technically they're different but hardly anyone embraces just one of them, but I don't think the paragraph where you talk about that makes much sense". Sorry about that. In any case, it's rather a side issue; "nondifferentiable things obviously don't imply a god who specially designed you" was the more important point, and one your response doesn't address at all.

Why would there be a "time variant differentiable middle ground" but not a "time invariant nondifferentiable middle ground"?

Why would differentiability imply no God? (You think a god could intervene in the universe but not in a differentiable way??) For that matter, why would nondifferentiability imply a God? (Maybe nondifferentiable things happen that are just random noise.)

Why would having "time-variant" phenomena stop you using science to extrapolate to the past or future? A time-varying law can be expressed as a time-invariant law about time-varying functions. So I suppose when you say "time-variant" you mean something like "varying with time in a way that cannot be described scientifically. But the real-work here is in the "cannot be described scientifically" bit, not the "varying with time" bit. If you had time-invariant behaviour that was beyond scientific description, that would block grandiose scientific ambitions too.

I think that when you say "non-differentiability" you mean "divine intervention", and when you say "time-variant" you mean "fundamentally inaccessible to science", but you know that if you say what you actually mean then people will be all "science demonstrably works really well" and "claims of divine intervention keep not checking out when investigated carefully" and "evidence for gods is really weak" and so on, so you've picked these more modest-sounding mathematics-looking terms to use instead.

Top tip: if you're going to do that, it gives the game away a bit if in the very next paragraph you start saying ridiculous things like "if you take things to be differentiable then you don't get the warm fuzzies of a God who specially designed you", and people will notice.

May I recommend How To ADHD? It's a YouTube channel (now book, too!) by someone who IS NOT a licensed doctor (it is fact-checked by someone who is though) but she does have ADHD and has a ton of recommendations, tips, et cetera. It's really helpful. There are also tons of online communities for ADHD.

And as for 'coaches', I'd recommend therapy (CBT in particular is good for people with ADHD - speaking from experience.)

Edit: Oh, you do have ADHD, guess I can remove all the 'you should see if you have ADHD' bits.

Slightly galling that people write this kind of drivel without examining any of the shaky premises it's logic relies on. Yes, in a perfect world, we can all learn our course material in advance and skate through our in-class education. More practical advice would be to build strong study habits and networking skills. Being able to get your work done with more time for editing/revisions and having access to other perspectives on the course work would have definitely improved the quality of my education. Building those habits and community take time and energy. I guess no simple hack there.

Love the shoutout to Roy Hashimoto. He's been writing VFSs for SQLite-on-the-browser and perf testing them. He's recently wrote "IDBMirrorVFS", which "is a new example VFS that keeps all SQLite files in memory while persisting to IndexedDB". It has remarkable performance, of course. https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite/discussions/189

Also, looks like Roy takes advantage of the aforementioned proposal when he wrote `OPFSPermutedVFS`, which takes 2nd pace behind `IDBMirrorVFS` w/r/t perf. https://github.com/rhashimoto/wa-sqlite/blob/master/src/exam...
Since this article uses that fluffy "tell a story" writing style, here's the facts in the article stripped out:

1. Air conditioning consumes 10% of global energy and 20% of energy used in buildings.

2. Demand for cooling is expected to increase significantly, with 2/3 of world households projected to have air conditioning by 2050.

3. Dehumidification accounts for over half of energy consumption in air conditioners in humid conditions.

4. New technologies are being developed to improve air conditioning efficiency:

a. AirJoule by Montana Technologies:
- Uses metal-organic framework material for dehumidification
- Claims to reduce energy for dehumidification by up to 90%
- Still in prototype and testing stages

b. Blue Frontier:
- Uses liquid desiccant for dehumidification
- Being installed in various locations in the US

c. IceBrick by Nostromo Energy:
- Energy storage system for large-scale cooling
- Can reduce annual cooling costs by 30% and associated emissions by up to 80%
- Only suitable for centralized cooling systems

d. Gradient:
- Window-based heat pumps with larger external units for better efficiency
- Currently costs $3,800, aiming to reduce to $1,000

5. Electrocaloric cooling is being researched as a potential future technology, potentially 20% more efficient than current methods.

6. Passive cooling measures (e.g., window shutters) should not be overlooked as they cost nothing to run.

7. Current non-centralized air conditioners operate at only about 20% of their theoretical maximum efficiency.

Refrigerant lines tend to be high pressure (300+ PSI) and the system as a whole is intolerant of leaks - even tiny pinhole leaks - over time.
> I’m not denying I live in fear.

>The American system is working fine

I honestly don't see how you can say both these things in the same comment. You do understand that basically no one in other developed western countries live in fear right? Living your whole life in fear is a uniquely american experience amongst that cohort and that is why we say the American system isn't working.

>If a scary person shows up with a gun just call the police right?

I literally have never worried about a scary person with a gun showing up at my house except when I lived in the US. It isn't on the list of things I'd even think about this year outside of conversations like this where Americans mention it as something they are genuinely afraid of.

If it was such an easy fix you wouldn’t be having this discussion about them going into the office I imagine.

You are conflating complex with niche.

RISC embraces niche while avoiding complex.

iAPX432 has examples of complex with stuff like OOP, garbage collection, and even data structures baked into the ISA. These instructions are very complex and take massive numbers of cycles to complete.

In contrast, a bunch of bit manipulation instructions are niche, but any one of them can complete in just 1 or maybe 2 cycles.

Same with something like AES where even x86 has a RISC-like approach where you call a couple simple instructions to setup, then you call a simple instruction (1-2 cycles) for each round then call some simple finalization instructions. Each instruction is niche, but not complex.
So this may not be fair, but you lost me quite a bit with the positive take on SAFe, which is the worst, most unproductive experience of any process I’ve had.

I also do not understand the queues and capacity issue. I have never been in an environment where we do not have so much work that we cannot meaningfully see past the end of the queue. I don’t necessarily view that as a bad thing.

It does optimize by removing unnecessary data from the block space yes. Witness data is instead stored outside of the block, but still bound by the same rules. Segwit also introduces the concept of measuring blocks in weight units. So witness data isn't actually calculated as data consuming the block space but is calculated in the total weight unit of the block. It is also important to note that witness data is also limited (4 million weight units per block)
