I'm not putting CSS on a pedestal, but the last 25 years of web adoption would suggest CSS helped. You can do quite a lot with it. There are new features being added all the time: some of them even look useful (I wouldn't know.. I've been supporting devices from 2016 for the past four years so I'm out of date).

Could those CAD packages auto flow live text around the objects? Could you dynamically add new objects to your presentation in response to data and user interaction, and have them lay out perfectly according to your rules?

The paddings issue can be fiddly, but a little discipline can help. You've got two different width-calculation schemes to choose from. Flex & grid remove the need for most margin-wrangling and layout hacks. You can create relationships between objects and parents, and rotate/scale/translate groups of objects in 3D. You can flow text around irregular shapes. You have LOTS of control over fonts these days (I can't keep up with all the new font rules).

It may not be the pinnacle, but it's quite a reasonable compromise that's very easy to get into (admittedly hard to master, but so is most coding).

> That’s how CSS works, not visual design.

Visual design definitely, often employs a set of top-down ideas/rules, modified by sub-rules and ad-hoc exceptions.

> It mixes all together and you can’t even design a generic container because its customization will affect the inner content containing that type of a container. And all its custom margins will fight with its own margins-as-a-child.

If the paddings of your generic container don't suit some uses of that container, then maybe it's not as generic as you thought.

Also, this is pretty easy to do:

.generic-ish {
some: rule;
}

.generic-ish > .generic-ish {
some: !rule;
}

Yes. What I mean is that doing it can have unintended consequences - so don't do it if you don't know what you're doing and/or not fully in control of the situation.

FF is dead in the water. It's market share is small enough that devs don't care about it anymore and it doesn't really provide any real advantages to users unless you really care about telemetry data going to Mozilla instead of Google. Mozilla has don't pretty much all it can to kill any kind of differentiation while refusing to innovate at all.
The History for Atheists weblog has a good entry called "Is Halloween Pagan?":

> The short answer is “no”. Contrary to Seth Andrews’ claims about “the Catholic Church” stealing a pagan festival “involving the druid priests and the people dressing up in masks and tricks and treats”, the date and most of the traditions are firmly Christian in origin. The November 1 date that is the centre of “Allhallowmas” was not derived from any “Celtic” original and the original Irish date for an All Saints feast moved from April 20 to November 1 due to the influence of Continental and English liturgical practice. That this meant the new All Saints Day fell on the “quarter day” of Samhain was pure coincidence. Contrary to repeated insistence in popular sources, scholars can find no clear indication of any ritual or religious practices on Samhain, and certainly none that can be traced to later Halloween traditions. Masks, costumes, trick or treating, Halloween games etc. all either have known traditional Christian origins or simply cannot be linked to anything definitely pre-Christian.

Unfortunately that makes it a deal breaker. The search continues
The application side of it is more for things like the multi-window setup of things like GIMP so that windows that are "docked" next to each other will stay that way past restarts. That's one of the reasons that the newer proposals are doing things with relative positioning between a zone or main window rather than allowing applications to place themselves randomly on whatever monitor or space that they want, interrupting whatever workflow is going on (which actually allows for security issues, i.e. a window pretending to be a password prompt putting itself on top of a browser or something to confuse the user). This also allows for new windows from the application to request that they're positioned next to any others so that related things stay together. This also apparently helps in a few cases where a single "application" to the user is actually multiple separate programs that get run by a main interface. Not as common in new software today but it used to be one of the ways that a lot of older software worked and there's still a decent amount out there apparently that are maintained that way.

Keep in mind that this is also a request by the application, not a requirement of the compositor to obey it. If there's not sufficient space where the application requests things then the compositor can just ignore it and do what it believes makes sense.
Ultimately, X11 opens up everything. What you suggest (WaylandX) is essentially allow-by-default.

When this is the case and there is a supply chain attack, what you think is a trusted application (and therefore not running under "WaylandX") can very well keylog you or take screenshots of your desktop without your consent.

In a deny-by-default model ala Wayland, applications will have to ask for permissions before they can do something considered to be privileged.

My wife asked me how much "huge monitors" cost. I told her 100 bucks on Craigslist. Indeed, we got her an old dumb 1080p LCD and she has been super happy with it. It mostly fills the wall of her little cubby hole in our office.

For my money, I have 2x 1080p 24” displays, and a third curved 32" 1080p display which is hooked to a KVM so I can game on it.

I like the 3 monitor setup because they are all at angles from each other, approximating a huge curved display. Plus, this was a cheap setup off woot.com parts.
I think HP in that era was definitely trying to be more "popular and cool." Not sure how much it really helped though.
To not be all negative though; I love the work on making it deterministic, and having first class docker support. ROS is such a crap-shoot when it comes to reproducibility. I mean bag files are great and all, but when its demo time on stage something always behaves inconsistently.

I'm actually not a fan of the "bring your own serializer" design. I think just use one serializer thats fast (like protobuf) and then let other serializers be built on top of that (e.g. JSON). I could be wrong, but thats my hunch of a good system.

I'm not sure if they ever shipped it to any retail customers. I'm a JVC projector owner so I kinda follow JVC projector news. The higher end JVC PJs are used by Boeing for flight sims:

https://www.boeing.com/defense/support/training/constant-res...

JVC accommodates that use case with things like extra chassis mounting points to allow the projector to be mounted securely in a dynamic environment. This looks like it may have been an early POC in native 8K for Boeing.
AP and Chicago are mostly quite similar although AP differs in a few specific things, e.g. no Oxford comma. Where I used to work, we generally used Chicago, Merriam-Webster, and IBM but we would go with AP for things like press releases because journalists generally use AP and we wanted to make it painless for them to cut and paste press releases, public company blogs, and the like.
> If you want to destroy open source completely

The irony is of course that open source is what they used to train their models with.
Kind of, they were socketed NAND cards and the controller lived on the mainboard, so as far as getting out of the problem of Apple entirely setting the prices for everything it's not relevant. As far as I'm finding no one managed to find a way to create a compatible card to create an avenue for DIY upgrades. I've found a few upgrades but they consist of buying an entire second Mac Studio to harvest the drive from.
I can attempt to semi-formalize it but I'm sure I'd butcher it along the way so feel free to point out anything that doesn't feel correct.

Consider a set of premises P that are assumed to be true. Also, consider that we are trying to analyze a statement s0 assuming P.

One proof could be of the form:

P1: s0 -> s1 -> s2 -> ... -> T/F.

Another proof could be of the form:

P2: s0 -> s11 -> s12 -> ... -> T/F.

Where T/F represent a single terminal symbol i.e. either T (true) or F (false) and s1... and s11... etc. could be different abstractions that have been employed to illustrate the veracity of the statement.

Regardless, both of these abstractions make use of the same Logical rules at each step so you could argue that the logical chain of both P1 and P2 are equivalent in some sense. If you think about it, it does seem obvious though, because if P1 and P2 disagreed with P1 yielding T and P2 yielding F, while using the same set of logical rules, it must be the case that either the logic is not consistent or one or both of the chain has errors.

So now, one could argue that all such correct logical chains (maybe of different lengths) that start with a statement s0 and terminate at a single symbol (say T) should essentially be the same.

s1 -> s2 -> s3 -> ... -> sn

↑................................↓

s0 -> s11 -> s12 -> ...->T

You could also argue that there must be exactly one such chain of the smallest possible complexity (in some sense) and that all other chains should be reducible to this one chain (not sure how).

At the end, I still agree with you in that two correct proofs can be distinct in useful ways but since proofs, to me, are a series of application of logic under certain premise to obtain a terminal symbol, all such logically sound chains must actually correspond to the one fundamental chain that's irreducible (in some sense).

Sure, the AI stuff is not a complete solution because it relies on the results of numerical methods. I was only suggesting that in the question of making up the marginal difference between the best and fourth-best weather predictions, there might be some application of these other novel methods.

If the question is can the Americans build a gigantic supercomputer and write fortran programs, the answer to that seems obvious. Yes we can do that when the relevant bureaucracy gets pointed in the right direction.
Seems to me that this says that the browsers have the accessibility problems and that's what should be fixed. Why does every website developer have to work around this while the browsers get a free pass?

If field validation is "standard HTML" and browsers can't do it in an accessible way, that's squarely a browser problem.

The width of words would have larger difference than the height of characters, so use the width. I would

1. Manually categorize a few thousand words of normal and footnote text. Then solve a linear system to figure out the width of each letter in normal and footnote. Now, you are able to compute the expected width of any word in normal or footnote font.

2. Now, when you get a fresh page, go down line by line. For every word in the line, compare the actual word width with the expected normal width and expected footnote width. Whichever is closer categorize the word as that. Then for the whole line, take the majority vote on whether to categorize it as normal or footnote line. Once you hit a footnote line, you are done.

I think you're mistaken. You can use .XCompose on Wayland (modulo certain broken cases, perhaps).

Somewhat unrelated but Apple are mainly focusing on Apple Intelligence in these new announcements.

The first version of OS X I used was Mavericks. In hindsight, that was the last great version of OS X for me — the last version where it seems the priorities of the people deciding the direction of development where somewhat aligned with mine.

Many have written about the decline in usability and attention to detail in OS X since then — I guess Apple Intelligence represents this shift in focus perfectly: a black-box interface that may or may not do something along the lines of what you were intending.

Depending exactly on what you are referring to, this could have been an AP vs Chicago thing. Neither is wrong (or correct) in a vacuum, but, your editors should pick one style guide and adhere to it. Hopefully they will point you towards the style guide when you have disagreement over a correction instead of keeping you guessing, of course.
I pretty much break the display of my phone or the display's connector breaks. There's now a yellow vertical line on my phone. Maybe I should replace it whole before the display connector went kaput.

Replacing just the display means I have issue with fingerprint scanner to work properly and it was an annoying software issue I couldn't be bothered to resolve, so I prefer whole replacement even though it's more wasteful and expensive.

Anecdotally, I've stopped using OpenAI entirely for coding activities in preference for Claude due to the _vastly_ improved performance on my coding tasks. This was before the recent update to Claude and I haven't gotten a feel for how the new version is doing.

Also entirely anecdotally, the newer multi-modal features added to the OpenAI models have _seemed_ to significantly degrade its other capabilities especially coding in languages other than Python and TypeScript and _seems_ to be more repetitive in its answers (likely to get stuck repeating the same incorrect information even after a correction). This could absolutely be a sampling or task bias so your mileage may vary.

I've still found Github Copilot to be useful for VERY SHORT look-ahead/completion but it has almost always assumed too much in the very wrong direction for more than about a line. I haven't tried the Claude version of Copilot but I'm absolutely switching over to it.

Large language models are used to aggregate and interpolate intellectual property.

This is performed with no acknowledgement of authorship or lineage, with no attribution or citation.

In effect, the intellectual property used to train such models becomes anonymous common property.

The social rewards (e.g., credit, respect) that often motivate open source work are undermined.

I almost bought an 8k 55" screen for use as a monitor, but I tested a 55" 4k screen for a week and the flatness is what turned me off to it. I've been using three 32" 4k screens in portrait, arranged in a "curved" config on my desk (2 monitors on each side are mounted at an angle), which I really like. But switching to a large single flat screen was not fun.

For me the holy grail of monitors is a 55" 8k curved screen. Not "ultrawide", I want the full width and height and I want it curved, with full 8k resolution. Maybe someday, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high.
