Also, we're about to have lots of news about, and likely lots of disease from, the ο variant... as if that might not confuse anyone.

The alternative might be distinguishing between Alpha, Alif, and Aleph...

That was my experience too, maybe a year or two after Charlie Cards came out (which was after I no longer lived there). (I remember when tokens went up from 85¢ to $1.)

The lab I used most often ran Compaq Tru64 Unix (previously known as DEC OSF1) on machines with Alpha CPUs... but it was replaced summer 2002 (or maybe 2001) with machines running some Linux distro on Intel CPUs. Also sometimes used a lab with Macs for testing browsers.
For what it's worth,I find the original stated rationale somewhat weak (that is, why not just sort them in the middle?), although I think there may have been more to it that I've forgotten.

Last 2 paragraphs of w3.org/TR/CSS1/#the-cascade are the best I know of the original rationale. But turns out it's also good for clarity around lexically scoped features like @namespace (IIRC the CSS WG was discussing a new one last week or so).

Seems like China is more extreme than the US; Chinese relatives were unhappy we weren't masking our 1 year old (12 months old at the time).

Perhaps that means "we" changed how we pronounce "break" sometime in the last 600 years?
Though, really, if you define the metro area as the districts in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chongq…), the areas are pretty close in population right now. (The Chongqing municipality is really more like a province -- could have been "East Sichuan".)

Would also be nice if the Bay Area's population were a little closer to Chongqing's... Context: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liziba…

SF has some historic trolleys running on the F-Market and E-Embarcadero lines. The other streetcar lines (J/K/L/M/N/T) are indeed modern ones, though.

I thought a bunch of the ideas were Incorporated into other APIs, but don't remember. I had hoped to investigate briefly today, bit didn't get the chance. Maybe tomorrow...

The first group can be subdivided into those who find much daikon bitter (hi!) and those who don't.

So... how many houses do kids in your neighborhood typically visit? (Are you located to get lots of kids from other neighborhoods, or do kids there get lots of candy?)
Meanwhile in San Francisco it's sometimes just some yellow paint on a post with black stenciled letters.
