These shouldn't be a warning. We're supposed to have graceful degradation without any requirement for CSS anywhere. Now the only "correct" way is a slew of media queries to set some designer's idea of the font for every possible viewport size. That is not how HTML is supposed to be rendered.

A warning IS graceful degradation, an error or unexpected behaviour would be ungraceful. The channel that warnings come over is separate from the channel the content is being rendered in and it shows, for those that look at it, that the system is degraded and an action would need to be done to restore it to a non-degraded state.

It’s only a matter of time before the modern Phoebus cartel starts blocking Firefox.

mykhamill · 6 months ago

We were seen as failing a security audit recently for having firefox installed on some of the development laptops and got ordered to remove it by IT who conceeded that it was stupid but had to check boxes for insurance is ISO standards.

This causes the majority of people to only be exposed to Edge/IE or Chrome at work, and use their phones the rest of the time.

So land based internet feeds 1 tree and Starlink feeds 30 trees. Guess the Ents will be using Starlink then.

Is macro the one after milli?

mykhamill · 2 years ago

There are two scale systems at play.

pico, nano, micro, milli, unit, kilo, Mega, Giga... Which relates to the SI units.

And Micro,Meso and Macro scaling system that centers around human sized reality.

What does this mean? What shaky philosophical foundations?

NJW posits that Real Numbers and Set Theory are based on the notion that it is possible to do an infinite number of calculations which he considers disingenuous.

He highlights in some of his Youtube videos that in respected Math textbooks the definition of real numbers is left vauge.

In his opinion set theory has the same kind of holes the we are expected to accept that we can add an infinite quantity of things to a Set by describing a function or simply having a desciption of the elements of the Set.

Kind of reminds me of how tight beam communications are used in The Expanse universe.

What can be imagined is what can be discovered.

The etymology of invent has the terms 'contrived' and 'discover' baked in. if we take the contrived root, rather than just dead-ending to say that invent is synonymous with discover, we find that it is rooted in the ability to 'compare' and 'imagine'. From this we can then formulate the opening statement.

Is the time difference between the neutron experiment results due to time dilation? One of them had the neutrons moving at high speed, I.e. In a particle beam.

Spoken like someone who has only learned languages from a single paradigm. “Programming languages are built on a common conceptual foundation.” This simply isn't true. The conceptual foundation of Java is quite distant from the conceptual foundation of APL, which is itself distant from that of Haskell, which is itself distant from that of Prolog. If you know one, you don't automatically know the others.

If you're only talking about mainstream OO languages, the point holds, but those are really more like accents than they are languages. Speaking in a British accent won't let you communicate in a fundamentally different way, but speaking in Mandarin actually will.

In short: It's not about the syntax, but it is about the semantics.

mykhamill · 10 years ago

Spoken like someone who only knows one natural language. As the article stated all languages are about communication. Each language has its own syntax (ie words and word order) but the concept of a rose or money is the same, the concept of an action is the same as is the concept of a pronoun otherwise people would not be able to translate between languages. The semantics of a language are often tied up in the culture of the language.

When it comes to computer languages similar principles are at play. The concept of a list or array or matrix of values is common across a wide variety of language types for OO to Functional to Declarative. As is the concept of IO. The need to communicate with something outside of the program. The fact that some languages point out the and IO operation is about to occur does not mean that the paradigm does not use or need them.

In short: Speak English when you are in Britain, yorkshire when in Yorkshire, cockney when in London, and Mandarin when in China. Use the appropriate language for the task at hand or get an interpreter.
