what the heck are these grid tags in the generated code?

I was thinking I was about to applaud a flex-box wizard that masterfully did ordering and more, but instead I see tags that I'm seriously not sure about. Are they compatible with the rest of my flex-box related site with Bootstrap all over the place? Are they compatible with my child elements and positioning?

Too many questions for this day and age. I don't think enough people are familiar with those particular tags that get generated, but if thats the "new way" lets revisit this in 2021


Um, what? It's CSS Grid [1]. It's separate from Flexbox.

its 1,000 times more likely that a software engineer trying to do business in China would enjoy a life of privilege and exemption from socioeconomic issues in China

just like someone from China would experience a life of privilege and exemption from socioeconomic issues in America after their parents paid a few million dollars for Stanford tuition, and I've met people that are afraid of America because of the civil rights issues seen on the news who are completely oblivious to the circumstances that would create them.

there is a tendency to focus on things that aren't really indicative of the experience you would have, and this has nothing to do with China specifically


> Appeal to Authority .... When explaining practices or opinions on some subjects of sofware development, project management, operations, e.t.c, people tend to use somebody elses saying, blogpost, conference talk or other claim as a foundation for justification of their own decision.

I consciously do this these days because other people are gullible.

I consciously know "well this isn't balanced", but there is no need to put a disclaimer on that, it just wastes your time and confuses the recipient.

Appeal to Authority works.


Define works. Appeal to authority destroys engineering, scientific, critical thinking and decision making. You can't appeal to authority your way into subject experts, they might even openly criticize you for your bullshit.


>Define works. Appeal to authority destroys engineering, scientific, critical thinking and decision making.

Appeal to authority is a tool. Whether it improves or worsens things depends on how it is wielded.


> You can't appeal to authority your way into subject experts, they might even openly criticize you for your bullshit.

They might, and they might also ignore you without a source because they are so focused on discrediting everyone thats not themselves.

> Define works.

Gets people to more quickly agree with your line of reasoning, by masquerading your line of reasoning as a non-independent thought and simply finding something that agrees with you on Google.

I know that search engines mostly just agree with you. Other people don't.


People making $25-$250/hr:

People making $12/hr: where are we going next! let's live life and quit our jobs and get a new one when we get back


> And that's probably something that needs to be argued in front of the Supreme Court.

do you really want that?

the supreme court will rule 5-4 in favor of the administration, where 2 of those 5 judges were placed there by the current president

what people want is for the thin fabric of society to not be challenged when people already recognize that it exists on shaky legal ground, not nearly in line with the social contract in their head

obama administration had considered an espionage act charge but didn't want the first amendment challenge, if they had the supreme court they would have done it as well


Same, it is rare for me to torrent

As an American in Europe last month, I experienced:

Watching Showtime through Playstation Vue was impossible from European IP, and impossible through US VPN. So I torrented Billions instead of trying a redundant unportable Showtime through Amazon Video subscription, or instead of trying a redundant Showtime subscription through their native app assuming they have one.

Watching Game of Thrones through HBO Now also had the same issues. But downloading torrents over VPN worked really fast. I only used VPNs partially out of habit, and partially not to get my host (hotel/airbnb) in trouble.

Because VPNs were so readily detected and blocked, it reminded me to consider buying a dedicated IP address in a few different countries for VPN, instead of having IP addresses that all the VPN users use. I have not done this yet, as I also heard that another way to detect VPNs is by knowing if the IP block is associated with a data center. I wonder if this is really done by the services I use.

Final note is that I did notice that alot of the torrent providers are doing "webrips" now instead of ripping in the highest quality their TV provides applying compression. The webrips are noticeable worse as the streaming service already is using compression.

Kind of weird outcome currently.


If these churches weren't churches they would have been condemned for not being up to code.

Lets put our nation's most prized and irreplaceable artifacts in it!


Sure, if you ignore all the non-church historic buildings all over Europe massively outnumber them.


> if you ignore

naturally


> ...Until the minority becomes the majority.

Not exclusively

There are typically minority and majority powers which have to be recognized. This typically is correlated with the prevalence of a particular ethnic group acting in its own interests by numerical representation, but it does not always exist this way. In some places it is easy to see how current minority groups becoming majority groups would still not inherit power accumulated via generational wealth, or would not have a realistic means of gaining consensus on changing socioeconomic circumstances in their favor.

A more collaborative approach to different groups in a system would be necessary, instead of fearing demographic changes.


Sorry to nitpick, but copyright declarations are a thing of the past in many nations with copyright protections automatically conveyed upon creation, registration only necessary within a short time after infringement was detected, with registration serving to only maximize the monetary sanction the government will levy on your behalf.

and regarding license, they have the MIT license added to the repository


That's fine, but this is purporting to be a copyright declaration. I know they're unnecessary, but if you are got to add one, you should do it properly.


It is inconsequential
