You should have no problem claiming Alexandria, Virginia.

Didn't know they extended the Metro to Lewisham. Might be worth it to get to the Taronga Zoo, if it doesn't take too long. (After all, flying is 20 hours plus a layover.) Better zoo than the National Zoo.
(More seriously, we had a good bit more rain one day last week.)
HTML and CSS today are also very different from the way they were in 2000; now the fault tolerance is clearly specified and interoperable, rather than varying between implementations due to being left (particularly in HTML's case) up to the implementation.

Did we learn the wrong lessons from the failure of XHTML?
(Even the folks who thought they wanted XHTML would sometimes mess up and give their non-IE6 users parse errors, e.g., depending on the content in their CMS.)

1/ I've spent the last 18 months investigating how our government reached the point of taking children away from their parents as a way to discourage migration to the United States. Here's my story about how and why it happened, and who's responsible.

Making a standard that will have legal mandates behind it messes up the incentives and the process.
Also, standardization work isn't for everyone. It is generally slow, and not cutting edge.

Based on experience with a totally different sort of standards: I think standards bodies can be OK when they're building standards that will be used if the market wants them (in whole or in part)....

Andreessen knows the pro-housing arguments. He's made them! But building enough housing won't happen because people rationally conclude it's in their best interests. It will happen when the decision-making levers are removed from local government.

I think the group really intended to use 永, which is apparently has a history as a sort of reference character, but chose 水 by mistake instead, and then decided the mistake wasn't worth fixing, since any Chinese or Japanese font should have either.

1. The attention surrounding Pelosi’s trip has prompted a lot of ill-informed analogies about Taiwan. Rather than curse the darkness, I’m going to try to light a candle with a brief and hopefully reasonably objective thread on Taiwan’s history.

My 2 year old will fight you on this.
Or maybe just pick the raisins out of my homemade bread (added specially for him; I used to add walnuts) and eat *only* the raisins.

Interested to see the data on what the baselines are with/without children, too. That is, does the paper (which I can't see) explain whether the penalty is more the result of differences in how much childless women work/earn, or differences in how much women with children do?
I think this matches the spec because tabatkins.github.io/css-togg… says "If the element already has existing activation behavior from the host language, this value does nothing."
That said, the activation behavior is probably the part that needs the most research and work.
The @nytimes could have used a better phrase in this photo caption than "a skyscraper in Taipei" to describe one of the most recognizable skyscrapers in the world.

I think the creation/destruction of those nodes would lead to some amount of invalidation... though perhaps not a full reraster.

Not sure if it's discernible (though I think it probably is), but there is a difference, since there are some nodes in data structures in Chromium (property trees) that we'd create up-front based on will-change, and we'd have different nodes for transform and rotate.
