(Also, I have a vague sense that git identifies things other than revisions by these hashes as well, so there may be other things I should be examining for collisions. But I'm not that much of a git expert.)

It turns out that for the Chromium repository, 12 digits is not enough. There are two revisions in the repo whose initial 12 digits are the same, 72d496d75536. (If it weren't for that pair of revisions, 10 digits would be good enough. But 9 digits has quite a few collisions.)

A random discovery today about the Chromium git repository at chromium.googlesource.com/ch… . git varies the length of the short hashes it shows based on an estimate of the repository's size. For Chromium it shows 12-digit short hashes.

I like to think about the distinction between testing using an API surface that you care about the stability of versus testing using something internal where stability doesn't matter. For browser engines, the former means testing Web-exposed API surface.

Maybe also that 4 trains (2,400 or so seats if they're all 10-car, which I doubt) is enough for BART's share of emptying a 41,000 seat stadium.

Facebook posts from many of my Canadian friends seem to show that AZ followed 8+ weeks later by Moderna or Pfizer is a common regimen in Canada.

With these properties there's also the risk of having tests for only some of flex, grid, block, etc.

Same block. Same lot size. Minimum parking laws make cities ugly.

"But buying in the Bay Area has always been hard!" "NYC is dense but still unaffordable!"
Reality check: From '91-'21 it became nearly *2x HARDER* to buy here! Compare the ratios to NYC!
It was even easier in 80s when they bought!
Help stop the lies!

I feel like this advice applies to France as well... although in that case some of the meats might be cheeses?

Is this the same as the web app darksky.net/forecast/37.44,-… ? Is that shutting down too?

If you can't imagine something like this happening in the US within the next decade, you aren't imagining hard enough. washingtonpost.com/world/eur…

Based on my very limited understanding of the spec, it seems like both implementations are both quite incomplete (in different ways) and have a number of bugs. But the spec is quite complicated, and I'm really not sure.

Some of the things I tried are in the demo at dbaron.org/css/test/2021/off… . Interoperability is not good... and wpt.fyi/results/css/motion?l… doesn't have very many tests.

It turned out interoperability of CSS Motion Path (drafts.fxtf.org/motion-1/) is not very good... and I couldn't actually find a value that did what I wanted without falling back to a degenerate path ("M 0 0").
1
So I wanted to test the stacking context and grouping effects of offset-path, so I thought I'd look for a value of offset-path that: (a) was supported in Firefox and Chrome and (b) didn't cause the element to move at all.
(The goal was a row in dbaron.org/css/test/2018/sta… .)

Bullshit. It doesn’t matter if we build renewable energy if all that energy is wasted.
Replace *all* energy generation with clean, climate neutral sources, then we can talk about using the excess for play money (and after we use all that processing to cure all diseases, etc).
