I've considered "a CSS DSL for X", though unfortunately there are already several projects that call themselves a "CSS DSL", by which most of them mean "a DSL for expressing CSS in general_language".

Interesting to see this and the gp--especially how others are thinking/communicating about them. I have been picking at something that uses css in a similar way, but I've found it difficult to put what it is into words.

Since this thread is probably catnip for a certain kind of person... Anyone have a term for "a CSS" that is distinct from the official CSS specs? I.e., a term that communicates something re-uses CSS-the-syntax, but with a differen

I'm not sure this is exactly what you mean, but McCarthy's descriptive language in particular is very poetic. I had a writing workshop with Pam Houston back in 2009. She is a very incisive reader, so I was a little surprised when

It vexes me (though, not as much as the apple variants). The date the last ~active browser stops requesting favicon.ico if one was already inlined would make a good betting pool.

It's worth clarifying that Griddy wasn't "charging" these rates in an effort to gouge, nor was this rate an active decision they made during the crisis. (You likely know this; just providing context for casual readers.)

Thanks for the note. I settled on "content-repackagey" because it was the closest I could get to a ~neutral common-denominator of their behavior, and I don't really want to directly judge their intent/purpose.

Anything you can convince yourself isn't losing money. I suppose that math can get very weird if countries factor in expected appreciation of crypto they plan to hold. And even weirder if they end up perceiving a geopolitical stake in

I don't disagree on the price signals, but this is the logic of corporations with assets, liabilities, cash flows, investors, boards, etc. It isn't necessarily the same as the logic of nation-states sitting on finite resources tha

Cool concept. Looking forward to trying it out. I've thought about taking voice notes before, though I've imagined that as more of a private hands-free thing. I'm curious what your experience of using it in public or with oth

This is roughly the point, though. It doesn't _absolutely_ disincentivize these things unless they are operating at a loss. It certainly disincentivizes "economic activity" like opening an at-grade parking lot in a bustling c

I find I always fail out of the append-only approach (even though I realize it means I'm spending more ~orgnizational time/energy). I can't claim to do it "regularly" in the sense that I do it every day, but I guess

I like to compare Nix to ice-nine from Cat's Cradle, in that it tends towards restructuring whatever it comes into contact with.

We all have this moment. I'm not sure asking someone to draw "a helicopter" or "a bicycle" (inherently an abstraction) is a good way to get non-nonsense simplifications. It's like asking for "a face"

When these come up, I like to note that we likely also have to think about how to unwind the organizations that will build up around these practices. Unless every removal op is a vertically integrated loss center in govt or large emitters,

Unless it's being intentionally adjusted for, this may be encoding a bit of bias regarding experiment duration and explore/exploit strategies. (It isn't a given that the results would hold over 10x the duration, for example?)
