Errata: Does anyone know what happened to the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Global Strategic Affairs? It was given cyber responsibilities when it was created (https://t.co/zJHoUQh5g9) but I no longer see it on the DoD website. I assume I missed a reorg.
OMG, and of course I forgot perhaps the biggest unfilled cyber job of all: National Cyber Director, head of its own new White House office.
How will all the White House cyber officials work together? My read (Biden team mum so far):

▪️ NCD will be USTR-style principal adviser to POTUS.
▪️ Neuberger will oversee NSC's cyber work.
▪️ Sulmeyer will lead/co-lead NSC Cyber Directorate (& presumably report to Neuberger).
To get REALLY into the weeds: Neuberger's title (deputy natsec adviser) seems to place her on same rung as Sherwood-Randall (double title of homeland sec adviser & dep natsec adviser), but it's unclear if Neuberger will report directly to Sullivan or to principal deputy Finer.
Thank you, that's right. I just saw her name earlier today and can't believe I already forgot. My apologies to Ms. Jenkins. https://t.co/sWFivrGoSf

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.

Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.

16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors

PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.

The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?
