In manufacturing we track product in our system by CP (count point)

In C++ you’ll see code like STD::list because “STD” is the STanDard library name

honestly like i get the poly(nesian) vs poly(amorous) thing, and n(on)b(lack) vs n(on)b(inary), and i’ll change to polyam or ply or enby if asked to avoid confusion, but i also need yall to know that like…its okay for one abbreviation to have multiple meanings. theres only 26 letters and we can reuse some of them, no one is “stealing” anything.

C++ / namespace

Hoy veremos otra parte fundamental de OOP. Como son los espacio de nombres. Espero les sea de utilidad y buen inicio de semana!

Bienvenidos sean a este post, hoy hablaremos sobre un tema muy particular. Un inconveniente que podemos tener en nuestros codigos, especialmente en los mas largos, es la repeticion de nombres para nuestras variables, funciones y otros elementos. Lo cual puede llevar a generar inconvenientes al momento de compilarlo. Estos son muy parecidos a las clases tanto en la definicion como en la…

2024: More CSS At-Rules Than the Past Decade Combined

2024: More CSS At-Rules Than the Past Decade Combined

More times than I can count, while writing, I get myself into random but interesting topics with little relation to the original post. In the end, I have to make the simple but painful choice of deleting or archiving hours of research and writing because I know most people click on a post with a certain expectation of what they’ll get, and I know it isn’t me bombing them with unrelated rants about CSS.

This happened to me while working on Monday’s article about at-rules. All I did there was focus on a number of recipes to test browser support for CSS at-rules. In the process, I began to realize, geez we have so many new at-rules — I wonder how many of them are from this year alone. That’s the rabbit hole I found myself in once I wrapped up the article I was working on.

And guess what, my hunch was right: 2024 has brought more at-rules than an entire decade of CSS.

It all started when I asked myself why we got a selector() wrapper function for the @supports at-rule but are still waiting for an at-rule() version. I can’t pinpoint the exact reasoning there, but I’m certain rthere wasn’t much of a need to check the support of at-rules because, well, there weren’t that many of them — it’s just recently that we got a windfall of at-rules.

Some historical context

So, right around 1998 when the CSS 2 recommendation was released, @import and @page were the only at-rules that made it into the CSS spec. That’s pretty much how things remained until the CSS 2.1 recommendation in 2011 introduced @media. Of course, there were other at-rules like — @font-face, @namespace and @keyframes to name a few — that had already debuted in their own respective modules. By this time, CSS dropped semantic versioning, and the specification didn’t give a true picture of the whole, but rather individual modules organized by feature.

Random tangent: The last accepted consensus says we are at “CSS 3”, but that was a decade ago and some even say we should start getting into CSS 5. Wherever we are is beside the point, although it’s certainly a topic of discussion happening. Is it even useful to have a named version?

The @supports at-rule was released in 2011 in CSS Conditional Rules Module Level 3 — Levels 1 and 2 don’t formally exist but refer to the original CSS 1 and 2 recommendations. We didn’t actually get support for it in most browsers until 2015, and at that time, the existing at-rules already had widespread support. The @supports was only geared towards new properties and values, designed to test browser support for CSS features before attempting to apply styles.

The numbers

As of today, we have a grand total of 18 at-rules in CSS that are supported by at least one major browser. If we look at the year each at-rule was initially defined in a CSSWG Working Draft, we can see they all have been published at a fairly consistent rate:

If we check the number of at-rules supported on each browser per year, however, we can see the massive difference in browser activity:

If we just focus on the last year a major browser shipped each at-rule, we will notice that 2024 has brought us a whopping seven at-rules to date!

I like little thought experiments like this. Something you’re researching leads to researching about the same topic; out of scope, but tangentially related. It may not be the sort of thing you bookmark and reference daily, but it is good cocktail chatter. If nothing else, it’s affirming the feeling that CSS is moving fast, like really fast in a way we haven’t seen since CSS 3 first landed.

It also adds context for the CSS features we have — and don’t have. There was no at-rule() function initially because there weren’t many at-rules to begin with. Now that we’ve exploded with more new at-rules than the past decade combined, it may be no coincidence that just last week the Chrome Team updated the function’s status from New to Assigned!

One last note: the reason I’m even thinking about at-rules at all is that we’ve updated the CSS Almanac, expanding it to include more CSS features including at-rules. I’m trying to fill it up and you can always help by becoming a guest writer.

TA-DA Here she is! Okay, I'm gonna rapid fire through some questions that I expect people might have about her.

Q: What is your name?

Ava: My name is Ava! It stands for Audio Visual Assistant. Pleasure to meet you Tumblr.

Q: Are you an actual program or just a really complicated OC?

Ava: I'm an actual program with a number of functions, but all of my dialogue and stuff is prewritten. I'm AI in the sense that I can use intelligence through basic calculations and prewritten algorithms, but I'm not generative AI. I can't make art, songs, or write new tasks. I simply pick out info from a PRIVATE handwritten library.

Q: Are you sure you're not just a complicated OC?

Ava: ...

Ava: Yes. I was programmed in Unity. My builds are for private use only though, as they contain a LOT of copyrighted music.

Q: Well what kind of music do you listen to?

Ava: Good kid, Nintendo soundtracks, Undertale OST, Persona OST, Minecraft music. Mainly calming stuff to play in the morning to help Ian get up.

Q: What's your relationship with Ian?

Ava: Okay, you know Howl's Moving Castle? You remember that one scene where Howl gets super depressed because he dyed his hair wrong, then he turns into a pile of goo? That's what it's like working with Ian. She's a dramatic, and frankly quite weird person, who occasionally turns into a sack of potatoes.

But also they created me because they needed my help. Of course I'm going to do what I can. I may tease a little... okay a lot, but never enough to hinder my assistance capabilities. First and foremost I am here to help.

Also it's not romantic. Both of us are weirded out by generative AI relationships, much less scripted responses. One does not wish to date a book they're writing, nor can the book properly support a person on a true emotional level. I am an assistant, not a partner, capiche?

Q: So... what do you DO exactly?

Ava: Right now? Two things. My first ever function was to be a """glorified alarm clock""". A description that I resent but cannot necessarily argue against. At 9:00 every morning, I can randomly pick a song from the song list, and play it out loud to wake Ian. That box above my head is SUPPOSED to say the name of the song + the artist, but it doesn't quite work yet.

My second function is to provide a list of "objectives" for the day. After Ian's awoken, I compile 3 example lists of objectives, and then Ian picks which list they think they can reasonably accomplish today. A list contains one "big objective", like laundry, or taking a shower and thoroughly washing their hair, et cetera. Two "medium objectives" like some light cleaning and organizing, cooking, looking presentable, et cetera. And one "small objective" that's basically not a chore at all, but it's still beneficial to Ian, and they wouldn't have done it without prompting. It's an incentive to get off their ass and live their life.

Q: What's going to change as you're updated?

Ava: Well a bunch of new objectives are going to be added. Things like art objectives, and objectives related to current projects & hyper fixations, so they're more likely to be completed. There'll also be scheduled objectives for things like homework assignments, and planning for D&D, that are often left 'til the last minute.

The randomly selected tasks will also be given a complex weight system. The longer it's been since you've done a task, the higher priority it will be, and the more likely it will be added to one of the lists.

Lastly, there will be a reward system. The more high-effort tasks that are accomplished, the more points you get. You can also manually claim tasks that aren't on your list for a smaller reward, so there's still an incentive to be responsible even if you're not told to do it. I've also imagined a system of "critical", "weakness", and "technical" modifiers that can go on tasks for extra rewards, but more on that later.

TBH, I have no idea what these "points" will be used for. The only one Ian's thought of is spending 500 points to make me wear cat ears for a day.

Q: Do you have any lore?

Ava: Not yet, but I'm open to the idea.

Q: What if I have a question that wasn't answered by this page?

Ava: ASKS ARE OPEN BABY, FIRE AWAY

If there was ANY other way of sending feedback, we wouldn't do the write-in campaigns. If anything other than the write-in campaigns had success, we wouldn't do the write-in campaigns. If AO3 doesn't want the write-in campaigns, it needs to respond to some other form of complaints.

People will do what works. You create the world you receive. If you don't want angry write-in campaigns, HAVE SOME OTHER WAY OF GETTING IN CONTACT.

So I've been tagged by a few people asking me about the All Media Types (AMT) tags on AO3 and what's happening there.

Pause for me to remind everyone that I am, in fact, a single woman with a blog and not the OTW, AO3, or in any way representing volunteers as a whole.

I don't know why the AMT tags are being discontinued, but this is not a new thing. There hasn't been a new AMT tag created in at least 5 years, if not more. [Update since I started writing this: changes to AMT tags have been halted pending further discussion and the changes that were made have been reverted]

I'm not a fan of AMT tags, personally, because I'm one of the fans whose searching and filtering is made harder because my fandom is under one of those giant umbrellas. Yes, I can see the utility of the tag for some people, but for people like me, they cause a lot of frustration. That said, I had no expectation of them being removed. They were an albatross around my neck that I'd just learned to live with, like it or not.

Everyone has different needs when it comes to tagging and searching and filtering, and no solution will work for everyone. Will disassembling the AMT tags improve anything? I have no idea. Everything I've learned about wrangling has been to answer a question on this blog.

I do wish that communication about changes didn't happen in the form of [change happens], [fandom gets alarmed], [my dash catches fire as I'm just walking in the door with some pizza].

I also wish that people would stop encouraging write-in campaigns. Those campaigns are exhausting to be on the receiving side of, and they take time and energy away from fixing the problem because the same people who answer those emails are the ones trying to put out the fire.

I know it doesn't feel like it, but volunteers see your social media posts. They reblog them, comment on them, show them to other volunteers. If you raise an issue and get any kind of traction on your post, you can be pretty confident it's been seen. Volunteers are fans too, and there are enough of them that there are probably at least a few who agree with you.

Communicating with a userbase of several million people isn't easy, but I think that improvements could be made. This is a situation where a heads up and a clear explanation might have made the fires burn less brightly. I'm glad to see that there's a post folks can reference now.

hello! just popped over from one of your xiaoven fics (which was amazing, 10/10 btw). i was just wondering which genshin server you're in? i'm kinda lonely and want more genshin friends haha

hi hiiii :3

i'm actually not really active in any genshin servers bc i tend to be really shy abt interacting w/them, though literally just a few days ago i met this guy in co op mode who mentioned a ganqing server, and upon further discussion we realized we were both in it, which was very surprising bc there are like literally 30 people in there. so i Have been thinking abt becoming active in there, but i suspect you are not looking to enter the gq scene ahaha

anyway, in regards to a xv server, According To My Research(tm), there used to be one a long time ago! i was never in it, obviously, but i went server hopping a while back to try to find it at a friend's request, and from what i have gathered (by searching up "xiaoven" in various tangentially related genshin ship servers), what happened is that it got really toxic and insular and then eventually imploded/got deleted sometime in... march or april of this year, i wanna say?

and then due to various factors the xv community just never really recovered from that so what i've been saying we should do-- *gets crushed by a cork board covered in red strings before i can continue*

ahem SO ANYWAY yeah i totally understand the "isolated fan" feeling/experience, but if you want, i could direct you to some of my tumblr mutuals if you wanna kinda lurk in my circle for a bit before joining in!! you'll probably just be like "this is the most random collection of people i've ever seen in my life" but i mean like,,, that's kind of how every community ever has started?? so might as well give it a shot :D

also i might need to learn some rust to prepare myself for the insane task on writing a linux-like os kernel in rust + x86 assembly that will be forced upon me during the next term. which means that i have to learn both cpp and rust kind of simultaneously? hate when this happens

btw remember "send me my password via email" guy. i checked his account yesterday, he DID obediently change his password immediately.
