indeed
whoever at Google owns fanout-testing@google.com Google Group, I don't think you meant to send that message 🙈
yeah they are right to left, but it doesn't find all the divs, it has a div its rendering and iterates through the rules RTL to see what applies. So imagine its walking the DOM and checking styles for each element, not walking the stylesheet and checking the DOM for each rule.
*I meant `.container div` (descendant selector)
oops meant `.container div`
Working on it!
Two screenshots from Chrome DevTools side-by-side. On the left it says "Before" and shows that rendering took 1518 milliseconds. On the right it says "After" and shows that rendering took 610 milliseconds.
Here's your friendly reminder that CSS selectors are global and evaluated RTL, so if you have selectors that are very broad like `.container > div` you might be impacting performance in a measurable way 🙈

Ex-farm worker here.
We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.
Not true AT ALL.
Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.
The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.
At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

what are you measuring the contrast of? Ash is 9.49:1 for the chat text, which is lower than the others to approximately match the original dark theme (which is 9.36:1)
ouch, I’ll make sure that gets fixed.
yaml code that reads: # text-secondary.yaml type: text constraints: scale: neutral contrast: 6 with: background-surface-highest
for example, text-secondary here is defined in terms of a contrast ratio with a background token. This defines the color across all themes; no hand picked colors! that bg token is also defined using a contrast constraint.
If anything in the constraint dep graph changes, it propagates automatically
we (@discord.com) rewrote our color token system to support these new themes, and its exciting 👀
in short: color tokens are defined using a constraint-based system where colors are defined with contrast ratios.
change a base color and all affected tokens update in all themes, preserving contrast ✨

In the meantime, as a reader: don’t trust any articles attributed to “staff,” and don’t trust any articles that don’t include quotes from scientists completely uninvolved in the original publication. Science is a gradual, meandering, back and forth process; sometimes we have to let it play out.
Which brings us to the scicomm point: we gotta get better at distinguishing between “here’s someone’s speculative idea that they just published” and “here’s a new discovery.” This is the former.
What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?
