@elibyy what you said didn't match up to what I said and I don't understand what you're trying to say

@elibyy that still doesn't make sense

Why are you doing index.php instead of idk, configuring your web server correctly?

@qbons the whole idea of HTML and CSS is you have a big chunk, and then you whittle that down. There's no HTML element that says that it should really appear higher in the DOM. While this could be useful (stuff like enqueuing scripts in head but calling it in a partial) it breaks execution flow and just general structure. Remember that HTML are relatively dumb document types. They are not meant to be another programming language. While CSS does some seem like every selector has some logic to it (if body has class main, make links red), it's really just a map of styles to elements on the page.

If you want to talk about regression issues, having something like a parent selector has the added potential of frustrating and non-intuitive debugging/behavior. Lets take the behavior. If you do something like a ^ .article {background: black} is that a direct parent or is that going up the tree until you hit .article? It's just confusing and can lead to way too many issues.

@qbons programming is all about principles. There is a reason we don't do things that breaks currently established rules

@qbons the whole premise of my statement is built around the idea of determining the style at the highest level possible. Using a parent selector violates that principle. To me, using a parent selector is the same as using GOTO

@qbons first of all you would have to pretty much rewrite every browsers method of painting if you want it to perform well. On top of that the idea is CSS is cascading styles. Waterfalls don't flow up. I can't think of any scenario where I would want to style something and cascade up.

imo if you're doing something where you think you need a parent selector, you might be going about it the wrong way

@ItsNotMyFault unfortunately that's not billable time

@DoctorDalek @FitzSuperUser also on top of that, most devices will be okay as long as they are designed to only draw their maximum current. It's not like they're bumping up the supplied voltage or anything.

@FitzSuperUser it's literally designed to allow for variable currents. Compare that to last gen where you had some ports supplying 800ma or 1a or 1.5a. USB C is designed to allow for multiple currents to account for all devices so it's, well, universal. I don't get your complaints saying the spec is a mess, while only giving one example where out of spec hardware could wreck a device (hint, it happens with USB B also)

I hate this argument of RAM usage. It doesn't matter. RAM is there to be used. Would you rather use the disk?

Don't put blame solely on the browsers... It's the websites fault too.

@FitzSuperUser if you use cheap cables yes you can damage your devices. Apple implements the USB c spec correctly. This issue came up when Google came out with their USB c pixel Chromebook. You have to make sure you get cables that implement the spec correctly.

Lol @ 320kbps max. Might as well listen to recordings of molding garbage.

Computer engineering? Yeah.... You need a lot of physics. It makes perfect sense.

Idk I dislike plugging in more than 1 USB device into my machine. If I need to get a USB C hub to plug in everything to it, I'd be mighty fine with that.

I think the new MacBook Pro is awesome 👍

@bakablah you could say the same about most CMS's or eCommerce platforms out there. Hell, look at magento. Nobody will ever be as fast as static HTML. That's why we have caching.

@tobbeboi um, use a debugger?

@deusprogrammer yep. Just wrote a couple apps in node and the project I'm working on now is .NET

@deusprogrammer you could say that about any language

@deusprogrammer nope. I don't see why PHP would not be sufficient.

@deusprogrammer yes I have actually. WooCommerce is actually built pretty well and now that automattic owns it, you can bet it can be improved. I haven't experienced any large delays with the API, but you can bet it will end up using the official WP API soon.

@deusprogrammer have you used PHP7 with WordPress? I've found it to be faster than some C# CMS's I've worked with

@deusprogrammer customising a WordPress site with themes and plugins != development. There are those of us out there that actually develop for WordPress using code.

I'm absolutely tired of the "it works don't upgrade it because you'll break it" attitude

This happens all the fucking time. I used to room with my best friend and I would come home mentally exhausted and they would say "You can't be tired. You sit down all day and don't do real work."

Sorry I don't work in a warehouse or McDonald's.

@spl0 no but the last one didn't either

@avstuff it's apple. They do this type of thing all the time. It's just easy for people to bash them now. I'm not saying they're innovating more than anyone else is or that they even make the best decisions. I think the iPhone headphone jack thing is fucking stupid and I'd rather have it. But this in my mind is far and clear the way to do it. This laptop probably won't sell that well but it's going to get the train moving and that's what we need.

I don't mind converting everything over to USB C. I'm sick of having a bunch of cables for different purposes that something else might have trouble with. My work desktop has no HDMI or dvi port. Just VGA and display port. My monitor has VGA and DVI. Id rather just have literally everything be one connector.

@avstuff maybe, but personally the only two devices I would plug in are a keyboard and a flash drive. I can solve the keyboard by getting a hub and having USB A for all of my desk stuff. Remember that apple was also one of the first to remove the CD drive and the serial port and parallel port.
