Seconded, when you have a large codebase, BEM selectors end up taking a considerable amount of kB on your final bundles.
Moving to CSS modules and running a css class minifier and deduplicator is the best thing you can do if you work in a project where performance is critical.
Anecdotical, but the best improvement I've achieved doing this is shaving off ~30% of our final bundles, gzipped!)
For the even lazier, here's a Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey script that adds a "Google" button to the DDG results page. Just click it if you don't like DDG's results and you'll be taken to Google for the same search term.
This following is completely unfounded, but I think that it would become a stigma to those who got it.
We are all driven by chemicals and everyone has their own preference on how to release dopamine and any other chemicals, be it exercise, drugs, alcohol, anything you can imagine. Getting a button to trigger such a strong response would mean a certain division in society, those who seek pleasure the new way or those who want to keep with the traditional way.
Overall I think that facilitating this would give people a huge (maybe too big) escape from reality and would certainly be abused.
Robin Cook had a plot about this (triggering orgasm-like responses on brains) many years ago in his book Brain:
>Getting a button to trigger such a strong response would mean a certain division in society, those who seek pleasure the new way or those who want to keep with the traditional way.
Isn't this already happening to a certain extent--and progressively getting worse? I think there's an ever-increasing chasm between people who occupy their leisure time with digital entertainment engineered to be an easy--and highly addictive--dopamine fix, and people who try to enjoy more mindful activities. The latter option is, of course, incomparably harder.
The reward circuitry in the brain is very much fundamental to how we operate and what motivates us in life. This is why drugs can be so life destroying. People tend to restructure their life so that they can keep getting that reward, at the expense of everything else.
It's something that's maybe hard to understand unless you've done drugs. I used to go out raving and do MDMA a lot. At the peak I was doing it almost every weekend. Until I found myself going out alone and looking for opportunities to go out, even if nobody I knew was going or the party wasn't good. I thought I really liked dancing, but I eventually realized, my brain was looking for an excuse to put me in that environment where I would typically do drugs, even if I actually knew going out that night would be a shitty experience. In other words, when you mess with your reward circuitry, your brain will begin to "lie" to you to guide you back to situations where you will get more of that reward. Your way of thinking will shift, and you might not even notice.
I personally don't think there is any way that brain implants can hook into our reward circuit and be used in a safe/responsible way. At least, not if the users themselves have direct control. The only way it could maybe be used sustainably is to reward certain behaviors in a way that the person themselves doesn't have control over, but that's a whole other dystopian can of worms. Personally, I think brain implants might fuck up society beyond recognition. Imagine if people could turn their sex drive on or off at will, or stop themselves from falling in love, get over someone instantly, make themselves love their miserable jobs. Sounds great right? Except we'll stop being human, we'll become machines.
I'm actually interested in how would this actually provide better testing tomatoes. Are you suggesting it will lower the harvesting cost of tastier varieties and therefore they will make their way to your local store?
There is a story that grocery store tomatoes were bred to withstand a 13 mph impact into the truck from a harvesting machine, but lost a lot of flavor. If this picker robot can gently pick heirloom tomatoes and place them into containers without damage, I speculate that consumers would prefer the better tasting tomato.
What about transportation? I always thoughts they use these horrible rock hard tomatoes because they don't get damaged during transportation, I never really thought about picking. I was slaving 14 hour days a lot of summers picking strawberries in a foreign country and I can't recall we ever talked about the damaged during picking. The main thing was to keep the damaged ones away by either throwing or by eating them.
Yes, it is possible, but bear in mind that this site has an infinite scrolling behaviour, so you could actually scroll down and be reading another article. Then you would have to keep track of the height of each article and account for font sizes and many other things.
It is doable, but not usually worth the hassle imo. Plus it is a somewhat common thing on many other sites.
This one heist of bitcoins is more than the total sum of money stolen from US banks in 2011. (Source: https://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/bank-crime-s...). It looks especially bad because about 20% of the stolen money from bank robberies is recovered, instead of lost for good; I don't know how much of Bitcoin heists are repatriated, but I suspect the percentage is much closer to 0%.
No. Most of it never went out, and much of what did was recovered.
"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York blocked the remaining thirty transactions, amounting to $850 million, due to suspicions raised by a misspelled instruction. All the money transferred to Sri Lanka has since been recovered. However, as of 2018 only around $18 million of the $81 million transferred to the Philippines has been recovered."
Maybe is up to implementation? I've got an X and the intent to pay pops up the native pay modal, which still requires you to double press the power button AND to be authenticated. So what you say never really happens.
