Tachyons are a bit, well – tacky. These hypothetical particles would travel faster than light. They’ve never been detected, but scientists keep on studying them. The particles have implications for everything from the age of the universe to time travel. Tachyons were proposed many decades ago. They were named from a Greek word that means “quick” or “swift.” Many studies have dismissed them entirely. One objection is that faster-than-light particles could go back in time – a violation of the laws of physics. Other studies treat tachyons as something you can think about mathematically, but not in reality. But still others say the particles could be real. One recent study, for example, says tachyons must have been involved in the creation of matter in the early universe. Another study says tachyons could make up “dark matter” – matter that produces no detectable energy, but exerts a gravitational pull on the visible matter around it. Decades of searches for dark matter have come up empty. The study also says that tachyon dark matter would eliminate the need for dark energy, which is causing the universe to accelerate faster as it ages. And that would change the age of the universe – to about eight billion years, not 13.8 billion, as generally accepted. More studies are needed to determine whether any of these ideas are correct – allowing these “tacky” particles to stick around at least a while longer. Script by Damond Benningfield

When Sally Gates moved from New Zealand to Florida, she was already an accomplished guitar player. Playing live in a metal cover band and the grindcore assassins, Relentless Attrition, she honed her chops in the Aukland scene. A year or so later circa 2008, she had moved to Miami and became the touring bass player in the mighty death metal cosmic destroyers known as Gigan. Touring on the band's seminal album "The Order of the False Eye" --a death metal record full of mind bending tempo changes and otherworldly aural assaults--Sally began her sonic journey in the U.S. with a proverbially sonic bang. But there was only one problem, she wasn't a bass player! Now writing and creating with her axe of choice, Sally's Orbweaver project picked up where Gigan left off--launching the listener to the outer orbits of extreme prog death metal. At the same time, Miami's ever expanding noise scene seeped into her restless improvisatory soul. The fearless artist followed her own path. Landing in Brooklyn's ever expanding instrumental improvisation scene, Sally Gates could not be happier. Ben and Jeff were thus so excited to talk to Sally about her new band TITAN TO TACHYONS. An all instrumental experimental jazz-metal group featuring drummer Kenny Grohowski and two bassists: Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, Tomahawk) and Matt Hollenberg (Cleric, John Zorn). The band's second album "Vonals" is as mesmerizing as explosive--a strain of heavy music they simply can not get enough of!!! So cozy up with a Tired Hands Brewery Eviscerated Pathway of Beauty Double Citra IPA and enjoy! Music from this episode comes from the composition "Neutron Wrangler" from the album vonals.

Sally Gates should not be a new name to all you VoS-ficionados, because we already spoke with her last year about the last album of her project Titan to Tachyons (we also reviewed Vonals). Sally moved to New York City a few years ago from her home New Zealand, and man, she has been a highly productive and respected part of the New York City Avantgarde scene working with many highly skilled well-regarded musicians around John Zorn and his Tzadik Records label. Now she's releasing another record that might blow your mind alongside Trevor Dunn and Greg Foxx. So we had to sit down and talk with Sally again, and here you can enjoy our conversation! When it comes to Free Jazz colliding and falling in love with heavy Rock sounds we quickly talk about Fusion, which is a label to make to make you shiver and quiver as (to me at least) it always implied a somewhat deranged and never-ending form of Grateful Dead-AOR-rock. But for several decades now, Fusion Rock is leaning more towards the harder side of things and shows a lot of crunch, heavy riffs and really intriguing rhythmic work. Sally Gates is one of the prime examples for that as she does not only know technique but also power and thus her “songs” are always mesmerizingly brewing both concoctions into one addictive poison! Her new collab record with Trevor and Greg shows that once more. We sat down with her to talk about Deliriant Modifier, its conception and birth, how she experiences life in the Big Apple and much, much more! Enjoy!

Sally Gates is a New Zealand musician and composer currently based in New York. Her avant-rock trio, Titan to Tachyons, recently launched their second album, Vonals under John Zorn's Tzadik Records. This album has received widespread critical acclaim, earning a spot on Spin's Best Metal list and being described as "harnessing virtuosity with an enticingly organic fluidity" by The Wire. In 2022, Sally was honored with the Wellington Jazz Festival Composer Commission. She returned to her home country to debut her composition Thought & Terraform for solo guitar at the Wellington Opera House, along with a series of other performances across New Zealand. Sally is known for her "slinky, avant-noir guitar work." She frequently collaborates with various improvisational music groups in New York, notably as a 'secret guest' in a John Zorn ensemble. Some of her recent collaborators include Trevor Dunn, Zoh Amba, Brian Chase, Greg Fox, and Sam Ospovat. Before her move to New York, Sally Gates released original music as a member of the Miami progressive-metal band Orbweaver. She toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, and New Zealand, performing alongside acts such as Gigan, Success Will Write Apocalypse Across the Sky, and Relentless Attrition.

Today on Sense of Soul, joining us from Brazil, author Cátia Machado dos Santos and her son Diogo Machado Mafra who joined us to share the amazing story of an encounter that Cátia experienced 46 years ago. On an island off Brazil, Cátia had an experience with a flying saucer. After that her whole life changed. This experience lead her to seek self realization and over years processed what seemed to be a download of information, secrets of the universe, how to access our cellular memory and clear negative entities (draconians, etc.) all which awakened her to a deep understanding of our purpose.   With profound experiences and dreams she developed a method, with symbols she recieved a system that allows access to cellular memory in order to unlock traumas, cleanse viruses, balance the mind and the emotional body. This method clears and cleanses to the point where people can access and clear our Akashic records as well as our DNA.  These symbols Cátia developed are the energetic translation of the Tachyons that permeate the universe inside and outside of us. Tachyons process information from the Akashic records and help us to read and understand our energetic blocks. The Universe is fractal, repetitive, what changes is the vibration and depending on the vibration, time and space also change. Her Work, as well as the transformed Runic symbols, are based on the Hermetic Laws of Ancient Egypt and Greece in the Kybalion. The method is simple and now accessible to anyone who wants to develop themself in her book  RUNES: The Cryptology of the Soul

PREVIEW :: London A. Dark, the ZaZen Boy Detective :: 223C Baker Street :: In 1928, Sherlock Holmes’ younger, upstairs, gay neighbor secretly accepts many of Sherlock’s clients who come to the wrong address by mistake... In his hidden underground nightclub and gay sauna at 69 Dean Street in Soho, W1, London Dark practices the magical rituals of Ancient Tibetan ZaZen, and it is there he will soon meet his protégé and confidante, the Boy Jack Wilder...— London A. Dark, “ZaZen Secrets from the Dark”CHAPTER 5 :: “Dark Origins and the Engines of Dream”At 19, London A. Dark, ZaZen Gay Boy Detective was Scotland Yards’ youngest consulting detective, and also the least expensive, especially compared to his downstairs neighbour at 221 B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes. The clickity-clank of the horse’s metal shoes echoing on each cobblestone down Dean Street revealed to the boy, London A. Dark exactly how many pints of double cream were left on the Milk Float drawn by the earliest horse every morning in Soho...The secrets of Ancient Tibetan ZaZen and the power to stop time allows London A. Dark to follow certain moments ensconced and pentangled in any TransFixed scene a certain distance, then into the past or future to spot for clues. Clues to some certain Mystery of the Universe as yet unexplored....This distance may be predicted with some certainty if the following equations are solved for local SpaceTime in your galaxy and a Time Map of all ground level Dark Matter Zones is close at hand.On Earth X, every subatomic particle created in Universe X was created with an equal and opposite bonded antimatter particle of the same type but with a reversed spin or charge.This Zero Sum design, in which each subatomic particle grouping, or Dirt, as it’s currently called in the London Royal Academy of Science, has a bonded particle of opposite power ensuring the Universe is stable, balanced and thus preventing the collapse of all galaxies into the black holes at their centrepoint.The ability of whole planets and giant stars to hang effortlessly in outer space depends on the total weight of the Universe being absolute zero. In this way, only a minor amount of gravity is required to hold the Galactic spiral arms filled with fringe stars and planets in place. Weightlessness in outer space includes everything, not only human beings... The Sun and Earth are equally weightless and floating in outer space. This system on balance prevents any galaxy unwinding itself or spiralling out of control. In his training in Ancient Tibet, London A. Dark was taught to bring the vibration of his consciousness to the highest harmonic wave emanated by Earth X... In doing so, the multiple harmonics become visible in the mind’s eye and the boy Dark is able to focus the power of ZaZen on the clearest tones, bringing them into his visual field like the dial on a telescope might bring the moon Titan into a detailed view on a cold, cloudless night in Greenwich Observatory.In Nanda Parbat, with the aid of an Ancient Tibetan Spinning Spiral Mandala, a 17 year old London A. Dark came to know Ptolemy’s Machine, the Organon Parallacticon, which resets the polar spin on the two hemispheres of one’s mind through the use of sound and vision projected by telepathy.This method of Machine induced enlightenment united with the power of ZaZen, altered the Dark boy’s relationship with time as it allowed tracers from the future falling backward In time to mix with with Tachyons, so as to appear visible in one’s mind in both dreams and in some forms of waking sight,... At the moment, though, a Holografix Code rotated counterintuitively in front of Dark’s eyes. He could see slipping into his view a telepathic text retyping itself into the light. “Text coming in backwards,” with his eyes shut, London read the words as they appeared one by one in his mind’s eye.“It is the hammer of dark people fear, not the unfolding of fear itself...”This message will seem clear to any avid reader of “The Chronicles of London A. Dark,” but as this slim volume of mostly romantic poems and sonnets written by the boy London A. Dark, to his one true love, Jack Wilder, is largely pornographic for Edwardian Times in England, reciting these strangely surreal epic montage like histories here, may seem ill advised for a gentleman of the times. The Holografix message, seemingly induced by the familiar forces of the Machine Parallacticon in Alexandria, Egypt, brought a brooding sense of unease to A. Dark’s previously confident strut...“Now who would be sending telepathic messages across time, from a machine long lost and abandoned during the great fire in the Library of Alexandria.” London A. Dark, was bemused at the thought of someone locating his position in the year 1928, in Soho, on Dean Street, at 8:38 in the morning... The Roman soldiers had angrily set fire to the library in Alexandria, after checking out several books and finding they could not read Egyptian Holografix by telepathy...The head librarian, Hypatia Theon, was captured by the soldiers and sentenced to death for the crime of witchcraft...

They talk about their decision to build their own compiler and why they decided to open source it. Now, a lot of companies are looking into using Stencil to build design systems The panel discusses when design systems should be implemented. Since Ionic is a component library that people can pull from and use themselves, Jeff and Mike talk about how they are using Stencil since they’re not creating a design system. The panel discusses some of the drawbacks of web components. They discuss whether or not Cordova changes the game at all. One of the big advantages of using Stencil is the code that is delivered to a browser is generated in such a way that a lot of things are handled for you, unlike in other systems.The panelists talk about their thoughts on web components and the benefits of using a component versus creating a widget the old fashioned way. One such benefit of web components is that you can change the internals of how it works without affecting the API. Josh and Mike talk about some of the abilities of Stencil and compare it to other things like Tachyons.

Special Guest: Kris Van Houten: @krivaten | krivaten.com In this episode, we are joined by Kris Van Houten to chat about Functional CSS and Styled Components: pros and cons, the problems that they are trying to solve, and how to choose between one or the other. This show was produced by Mandy Moore, aka @therubyrep of DevReps, LLC. Transcript: DAVID: Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 116 of The Frontside Podcast. I'm David Keathley, a software developer here at Frontside and I'll be your host for today's episode. Joining me as a co-host is Jeffrey Cherewaty. JEFFREY:: Hey, there. DAVID: And we've got an amazing guest with us today, Kris Van Houten. Kris is the author of a very interesting functional CSS library called Elassus, a good friend of mine and today, we're going to be talking about how that compares with another new pattern I've been seeing everywhere recently: styled-components. Hi Kris. KRIS: Hey, how's it going? DAVID: Doing great. Let's just go ahead and jump into things. Kris, you want to give us a little introduction to your functional CSS library? KRIS: Yeah, for sure. I guess, first of all about me. I've been primarily a frontend developer for about seven or eight years now. I don't know, at some point you start losing count but over the years, I worked largely within the Ember framework but I've also worked within React and Vue. Like most of developers over the years, you tend to require an affinity towards certain areas of software development and for me, those areas tend to lean towards accessibility but also, learning how to write CSS with what I call like the future in mind. To try to keep the story as short as possible but a couple of years ago, I was working on a project and started to realize that our CSS is one of those things that just continues to grow over time along with the rest of our application but I also noticed that we tend to have a lot of areas of repetition within our CSS, like how many times are we setting text align to center, how many times are we setting the text color to the primary color or to gray or something of that nature and maybe we could create a utility library that just does all the stuff for us, similar to if you've ever worked with Bootstrap that they had utility classes that allow you to do some things like set the text alignment or the text color or font size and things of that nature. I started thinking around it but eventually, I changed jobs and that idea kind of just went to the side but then, I'd say about a year and a half or two years ago, I came across a blog post called '15kb of CSS is all you'll ever need' and so, immediately I was intrigued. It was actually a blog post on Medium that was talking about the benefits of using something like Tachyons or base CSS, which are two different functional CSS libraries. To explain what I mean by functional CSS, it's just a whole library, a whole arsenal of these utility classes that just do one or two things that allow you to basically take any design and implement it by composing all these classes together throughout your HTML. I was looking at Tachyons, looking at base CSS and thinking, there's a couple of things I like to customize about this but at the time, when I was looking at it, I couldn't really figure out how to customize those values very easily and so, I did every developer does and just decided to make my own and that's where Elassus came into play, where it's a CSS library that is entirely made up of functions that generate your CSS based off of the value of variables in Sass. Everything is customizable, all the way down to how the class names look and the syntax that you use. If you hate what I'm doing, you can customize it very easily. A lot of people might wonder why would you want to use functional CSS, what are the benefits that you get out of it and really, one of the first two things that comes to mind for me that really attracted me to it was that your CSS files start small and they stay small. For the most part, depending on the configuration and the particular library that you're using, your entire CSS payload can be anywhere from 10 to 20 kilobytes, minified and gzipped, which is in stark contrast to some other projects I've worked on, where just one of the many CSS files you're downloading are 745 kilobytes. Dramatic improvements there, so that's why it was instantly appealing to me. But one of the other nice things you kind of get for free by default is a consistent design pattern, right out of the box. Because if you're working on a large team that has maybe multiple designers and many developers, one designer might implement something with the spacing system that's maybe based on five pixels: your padding, your margins, your widths, might be five, 10, 15, 30 pixels, 45 pixels but then maybe, another designer is implementing something based off of more material design, which is base-4 pixels, so it's like four pixels, eight pixels, 16 and so on. Over time, little differences like this can really show up as you navigate between pages of your application and with functional CSS, you're given a limited number of options to choose from. As a result, it actually makes your application feel like it's one cohesive consistent piece of software between pages and between the features that you're navigating through. Those are really two areas that have really attracted me to functional CSS and I guess, is a tl;dr -- if that was a tl;dr in fact -- of what functional CSS is and why I like it. DAVID: One of the things we've got here was the problem that functional CSS and styled-components are both trying to solve. KRIS: Like I said earlier, a lot of the applications that many of us might be working on, they tend to grow at time by either adding features or rewriting and improving existing feature. In JavaScript, over the years, we have made tremendous improvements in our tooling with things like code splitting and tree shaking to really limit and minimize the amount of payload that we're sending to our users at the end of the day. But really, it's only up until recently we hadn't really been talking about how we do that for CSS and typically, as developers, we had deadlines, we're working with them in sprints, we had a real strict time constraints on what we can work on and for how long and so, we tend to focus on making sure the features look right, they work right, and that our test passed. In CSS cleanup is just one of those things that often doesn't get cleaned up as often as you would like. Sometimes, that's also because we assume that a particular set of styles is probably getting used by another team, working on a completely different part of the application. As a result of just not being able to work on this problem or this issue, we likely have many, many kilobytes of orphan styles being shipped to our users at the end of day and our style sheets tend to grow over time. If there's one thing that's kind of become a mantra within software development over the last few years, it's that every kilobyte matters. One of the main reasons I wanted to come and talk to guys today was about some things that I've been tinkering with on the side, just to figure out how we solve this problem and so, their approach of using functional CSS is one of those things but using something like styled-components, which is mostly used in React library of the solution of writing your CSS in your JavaScript and that's another approach to how to tackle this problem. DAVID: That's an interesting thing you said there. I remember, whenever I started off in software development, one of the big no-nos for styling is don't put your styles in your JavaScript. It's interesting to see that that has kind of changed. KRIS: Yeah, indeed. I remember listening to a podcast about two, maybe three years ago and they had a panel on and they were talking about there's a new thing called CSS and JS and I was like screaming in my car like, "This is the most horrible thing in the world you could possibly do. Why would someone want to do this?" and obviously over the last couple few years, the technology has definitely matured and they definitely hardened it, to where when I was working on updating my personal blog, working on moving over to Gatsby, I didn't want to have to pull an entire functional CSS library because I kind of thought that would be overkill for just a couple small pages and so I was like, "Let me try this whole styled-component thing. That way if I'm going to hate it, I can hate it from the experience point of view." I actually found that the developer experience of working with styled-components was really nice and so, I kind of became converted over to that way of thinking about, "I'm not a hater. It's actually a really nice way to write your CSS for your blog or your applications." JEFFREY:: I count myself still as a skeptic about this whole idea, so I'm excited that we're going to talk about it now and then, you have the opportunity to sell me on it, which should be fun. Some of the work I've been doing on lately, we've been doubling down on the idea of CSS modules, that at least fix some of the encapsulation and problems around CSS where everything is sending up in a global scope. How do these ideas of functional CSS kind of take that even farther? What advantages are there over using, just simply using say, CSS modules where we're fixing the global namespace. KRIS: I'd say with functional CSS, again the things that kind of mine for me are you keep the file size small, you have your design patterns that you can get for free right out of the box. Your styles are pretty low specificity, meaning that if you ever have a need to where you get a really customized something because you just can't do a functional CSS, which I found to be very, very few and far between as far as the number and instances I've come across, it's very easy to overwrite if you need to go back into, I guess old fashioned way of actually writing some CSS yourself. But then you also have the benefit of not having to come up with clever class names to describe the different states or different use cases of your component that you're working on or the future that you're trying to implement and so, I'd say those are definitely some of the pros of why I like using functional CSS at the end of the day. I will say that there are some cons -- I'll be completely honest -- and say that one of the areas where functional CSS tends to have a weak spot is in the area of browser specific issues. In my experience, I tend to have a lot of issues with iOS Safari and it's like the bane in my system sometimes. Sometimes, worse than i11 but if you have to really target something that's exclusively for a specific browser, that's really not doable from what I've seen in functional CSS. That's where we should have to go back in and handwrite some CSS for that kind of situation. But also, one of the cons is that sometimes, depending on the element or the component you're trying to style, I think the example is if you have a nav bar that can toggle between being a sidebar but also a top nav bar, that's a completely different set of styles and to achieve those few layouts at the end the day, you have to have a completely different collection of class names that you have to toggle between based off of the state of that component or that feature that you're working on. While that's doable, especially with something like a frontend framework like Vue, React or Ember, it's just a little pain point that sometimes you have to work around but I say, those are the pros and admittedly some of the cons of using something like functional CSS to tackle your styling needs. JEFFREY:: My favorite thing that you mentioned there was how hard naming is. I think everyone can agree, very strong of it, just naming things is the hardest thing. What has been your experience in learning these? They're almost new domain languages for like we want to padding of this amount. Have you found that pretty easy to get up to speed and get fluent in or have you run into some blocks in kind of learning these new languages that some of these CSS tools have presented. KRIS: That's a really good question. When I first started digging into Tachyons -- that was the first functional CSS library I started working with -- there is definitely, I'd say a small learning curve of maybe, I was trying to implement it just to see how it worked and it took me, maybe a couple of hours, if that, to kind of get a feel for how they write their classes and how the classes are put together to do certain things. But once you kind of get through that little initial pain point, it's pretty easy. In one of the things that when I was working on my own implementation of it, I wanted to make sure that no matter what you're doing, all the class names are consistent, that the patterns that you use to your class naming is consistent and I guess, because I wrote it, then it wasn't so hard for me but I also understand that that's not the case for everybody. When I wrote Elassus, one of the things I did is I actually was able to create a compiled JSON version of all the CSS and actually, use that to create like a little React search tool. If you're looking for padding or margin, you can just enter that in a search bar and it'll tell you all the options in the classes that are associated with that and that's one thing I did to kind of help with that barrier but it definitely can be a bit of a learning curve but like I said, it's maybe an hour or two of your time to really get familiar with it. JEFFREY:: That is not bad. KRIS: No, not at all. I was actually really surprised at how fast I got up and running with it. DAVID: That actually ties into something that I was kind of curious about myself. Whenever I went through the coding bootcamp that I did a couple years ago, after we finished going over raw CSS and how that works and the basics of that, they introduced us to Bootstrap as our first real CSS library to play with. That was fairly achievable for someone brand new to frontend work in general. What I was curious about is would you see these functional CSS libraries as equally accessible or maybe, more advanced than something like Bootstrap or Foundation. KRIS: I never thought about that before. I think I kind of see it like as the next step. I've worked on several products over the years where Bootstrap was what they started with. As we went on to build out the feature set of the product, we started to find ourselves battling with the various styles that we get at from Bootstrap for free. I think one of the things about working on a website, where actually using Bootstrap is that sometimes you can just kind of tell that it's a Bootstrap based website. I don't know if I'm making any sense to you guys -- DAVID: Oh, yeah. Definitely. KRIS: That was another reason why I wanted to have something... That had basically forced me to decide how my navigation bar looked. It forced me to think more about how my sidebar is looked or what my spacing scale -- it's the term I like to use -- based on what you're using for your pure margins, your paddings or what's your heights, things like that. It make me think about what those values should be and that's how you kind of break out of the box of having everything look like it was built in the same framework. I would say it's more of a next step if you're talking about your experience as a developer. Yeah, learn CSS. I think it's still incredibly valuable to know CSS and for me, like you David, I kind of got started and learned about this thing called Bootstrap and you can quote me. Back in the day, I said, "This is like the jQuery for CSS. It's amazing," but quickly, I kind of ran into some of those issues that I mentioned earlier and kind of force me think about, "Maybe, I don't want to use Bootstrap. Maybe, I want to handle my own thing," and so, I say functional CSS, as far as like again your education level, it's more or less that step of if you think about how do you want to solve certain problems in our design. DAVID: Okay. We've gone over functional CSS with some and styled-components, how would you choose between the two? KRIS: This is actually really hard because I actually like both approaches. I'm not one of those guys that's like, "That one sucks. I don't want to use it." I actually think both have their place and so, I know I kind of sound like the typical 'this versus that' blog post in technology right now but I will say that there's a few questions you should ask yourself and ask your team if you're considering changing up your approach to CSS. One of those is what is the preferred developer experience of your team. That's something we've been talking about a lot at the company. What we mean by that is how enjoyable is it to work in a particular codebase? Do your developers mind writing their CSS, instead of a JavaScript file? Or would they prefer to have something where they can actually read the HTML and build a C, just by looking at the elements in the classes that are being applied there? What this layout looks like or what's being applied to this layout? You know, questions like that can definitely help determine what direction you should go. Again like I said, one thing I love is that both approaches remove the developer's burden from having to come up with clever class names for all the different use cases or states of your components. I think you're going to get a win-win either way there. However, if you're using React, we already have a ton going on in our JSX and so, if adding a series of class names to determine your design tips is overwhelming for you, then maybe give styled-component a try because it can definitely simplify your JSX output a little bit. If the idea of having JS to handle your CSS seems a little fishy, I think one of the cons of using styled-components is that we're asking JavaScript to do yet another thing for us. If you're one of those people who has a problem with that, then give functional CSS a try. There's definitely more than one flavor out there and I've tried out almost all of them and like them. They all have their nice tidbits inside of them. I'll say, if you prefer to have easy theming, if you're working on a project that has to have a lot of theming involved, then I might be more toward styled-components. If design consistency and design patterns is a priority, then maybe functional CSS is an option for you. With both of those scenarios, easy theming in patterns is possible in both. It's just one is harder in one than the other. With styled-components, there are implementations of it in Vue and Ember but they don't seem to be very widely used yet, so I'd say use at your own risk or contribute to open source to make them better. I'd say for right now, if you don't mind being locked into using React, then styled-components is pretty cool. It also allows you to transfer your styled-components from one project to another without having to worry about. [inaudible] all the CSS because that's a big deal but I would ask myself those kind of questions to determine what solution I would choose. JEFFREY:: I am interested in the performance implications of these tools. You touch earlier on by using tools like this, you can definitely shrink your CSS payload by a lot, so what is the actual output of using these tools? What will it look like? Do you end up with still an external CSS file or is it a scenario where you're kind of getting some CSS injected into your markup? KRIS: Yes with one and no on the other. With functional CSS, you typically have a CSS file that is compiled and maybe, you're using Sass to do the operation for you or post-CSS, so you get an output CSS file that you help you fetch on the frontend of your application. Like I said, [inaudible] if these files are between 10 to 20 kilobytes, which is remarkably small. With styled-components, it's a totally different approach. It's a totally different implementation as well, unless you have a normalize or perhaps a reset CSS that you're fetching on the frontend, all the styles are actually -- I guess, I should start with earlier. What happens is you define your styles in your JavaScripts and at runtime, the component will read the styles that you set and then create a unique class for that instance into the head of your document. It's basically a single class use for that component and so, all in all, it gets compiled at runtime. There's no additional CSS files being injected. It's actually being created dynamically in your actual HTML document. One of the things I was first concerned about was what are the performance implications of having JavaScript do this for us and over the last couple of years, as the technology has been maturing, performance has been an issue but I think it was with V4 -- version 4 styled-components that just released, I want to say, in September or October, they have tremendous performance improvements. It's rapidly fast now, so it's not really something you need to be concerned about. I'd say again, it's one of those things: Can you get over the mental hurdle of having JavaScript do one more thing for you? And can you get used to the developer's ergonomic practice of writing CSS inside a JavaScript file? I know it kind of takes a little bit of getting over that because it just seems so strange but you also get a lot of perks by doing that with having easy access to theming, you get to use some of the power of JavaScript to help build out your CSS, which can be nice as well even if it kind of feels weird. JEFFREY:: Yeah, I agree with the ergonomics do feel weird but you'll get some benefits out of doing that. In the styled-components where it'd bring on the fly, I'm happy to kind of figured out the performance like runtime implications with that but it seems to me that now you no longer have a cache CSS and that you're having to get that all the time on the fly. Maybe for some systems, that is okay but that's definitely something that I would miss having -- the idea that CSS actually can be a little heavier because it will always be cached. KRIS: That is totally a valid point. I think one thing I do kind of like about the styled-component approach is that when you delete a component, all the styles go with it, so you no longer have orphaned styles just hanging out there that are getting shipped down to your user. I agree that the caching is definitely a concern but I just kind of start to weigh the pros and cons and again, you have to decide for your product, for your team what works best for you. Also, one of the pros that I would bring up is that you don't have any orphan CSS hanging out in your application anymore, which is definitely one of the key contributors to growing bloat in your files over time. JEFFREY:: That is very nice. KRIS: Yeah. DAVID: That ties into a question that I was kind of wondering. As your projects get larger and larger and more complex, your style sheets tend to grow along with that and one of the issues that you might have as time goes along is visual regressions like styling bugs. How does using functional CSS or styled-components sort of deal with that or prevent that? KRIS: With functional CSS, like I said, you have those patterns kind of built in out of the box. As long as you don't change the value of what a particular class renders out of, maybe someone goes in and without thinking of it, they change the second value of your spacing scale to a lot of pixels just because they felt they needed to. You're not going to have visual regression that happen over time because the whole premise of functional CSS, those values don't change. Those are basically meant to be seen as immutable values, immutable classes. You shouldn't have style regressions that pop up over time as people continue to work on your application. With styled-components you still have that risk unless you are setting all those same values and your theme properties that you can use within styled-components. Unless you're setting all your different spacing values, you have a tendency to potentially run the same issue. But actually, now that I think about it, maybe not because with styled-components, every component is unique. Every components styles are completely unique, so again, unless you're changing those core values of your themes, you should not have visual regression that happen in a totally separate part of your application when you're working on say, the home page. I would say both handle that pretty well, now that I'm thinking of it. DAVID: That's cool. KRIS: This reminds me, I'm working on a particular piece of software at a particular feature of my work and we don't use functional CSS or styled-components yet. I'm trying to get them to move over so again, this is all stuff I do on my free time but I'm working on editing a component and I had to make some pretty drastic changes to it and I was like, "How is this going to break on some other page that I'm not aware of yet," and so, this requires a lot more going back and checking all the various uses of this particular component. We used it in 10 or 11 different places on different pages and so, we have to go back to each and every single one of those use cases to make sure I didn't break something. Whereas if I was using one of these two approaches, it wouldn't be something that I would have to be concerned about. This is what I'm trying to push through on my own job as well. DAVID: Yeah, it really eat up your time. KRIS: Yeah. JEFFREY:: I want to talk for a few minutes about media queries because, I think that the situation is kind of handled. It's definitely something I've run into: CSS variables and with post-CSS tooling. I'm interested in kind of how does the media query story is handled with the setup. KRIS: With functional CSS, you tend to have, basically say, I have a class that sets a margin on the top of 16 pixels, for example. Let's say that that class name is MT-3... I don't know, meaning for like the third position in your spacing scale, 'MT' stands for margin top. If you wanted to only use that style for perhaps, like your medium break point, then different libraries have a different way to approach this, basically, you're 'MT-3--medium' or '--desktop.' It's the additional characters that you append to the class name to target that specific media query. Also, depending on the framework that you're using, you can also target pseudo states, whether or not this element is focused or on hover, maybe you want the background code to change. There's variations of those classes that allow you to target those specific states, which is really nice in functional CSS. Again, just by looking at the classes that you're adding to your DOM, you don't have to scroll through your style sidebar to figure out like what styles are associated with this class name and why it's being overwritten by these 10 other things that we have going on. Again, you can just look at the HTML and see what's happening and what should happen if you hover over an element. With styled-components, you can still use media queries and all that stuff right out of the box. In order to keep your media queries consistent, that way not everybody is having a handroll, at least by every single time that you need to use them. You can actually store your media queries in a separate JS files and it's kind of import them as you need them, which again, kind of feels like a weird developer ergonomic for your CSS but definitely, it comes in handy and definitely keeps your styling consistent the more you break out the various pieces into small pieces or small components like that. That's how to handle things like media queries and things like that. JEFFREY:: It's interesting how these approaches are kind of pushing the web towards, I'm feeling a lot more like native development, where you build your style and your visual look in conjunction with your component code and those things are not really ever separate. I think, there's some interesting influences coming in there from some made up things. KRIS: One thing I think about a lot, especially when I'm thinking about functional CSS is I'm reminded of this image I saw kind of posted on Twitter somewhere in the interwebs. It was a picture of the Super Mario Brothers start screen and the entire Super Mario Brothers video game was something like 23 kilobytes. This screen that you're looking at, which was like the start screen was like 345 kilobytes or something. My numbers are probably off but it was something drastic like that and this makes me think about, if you were to go back through, there's a couple of documentaries about how the loops that developers had to jump through in order to make old video games for Nintendo Entertainment System back in the late-80s -- I'm probably dating myself right now -- but the things they had to go through and to think about in order to make those games work the way they did is insane and I kind of feel like over the last... I don't know, maybe 10 or 15 years, because we've gotten such fast computers and such fast mobile devices and so on and so forth, we've kind of gotten crazy. I look at video games now and they're 100 gigabytes sometimes and I kind of feel like they didn't need to be 100 gigabyte video game and I think -- DAVID: But it's so much cooler because it is. KRIS: I'm not saying it's not cool but I'm think like if they really took the time to pay attention to some of these details, we probably could automate this a little better. Maybe, I'm just being biased but I think about we're kind of starting to do the same thing and talk about the same kind of problems in web development. Again, just because we can have a 745 kilobytes of CSS file and thought the world falling over, it doesn't mean we should, so maybe, let's take into consideration that not everybody is using a cinema display on a super-fast MacBook to view your application, what about the person who's using an outdated Android device that hasn't been updated in three or four years? How's your product going to work on their device? I'm really glad that people actually started to take that kind of thing into consideration and it even reminds me a little bit of another area that I think a lot about is the area of accessibility: how do people with various impairments or disabilities use your software and how can they use your software but also, outside of that, how do people, who maybe don't have the money to have a fancy mobile device like you have, use your product along those same veins. It kind of dips into the same vein of accessibility when we're talking about how do we optimize our products to make them usable by everyone despite their income level or their ability to have a fancy, nice desktop or a latest iPhone. JEFFREY:: Awesome. DAVID: Yeah. Definitely, you think about who are the majority of users on the internet these days and really, it's an emerging market with underpowered devices and the internet is becoming much more and more accessible for people to get on and browse, so you really got to keep those people in mind. KRIS: Definitely, especially if you're creating software that you want people across around the world to be using, a lot of people don't have access to crazy high speed internet like we do here in the States, so we should probably be taking more time to consider what it looks like for those people to use our product. At my company, what we've been talking about is like we should be testing and basically, starting mobile first with all of our development to see how does this work on our mobile device. I'm a remote developer so we're trying to figure out how to get me mobile devices that I can actually test on our VPN but it's something that we're trying to move towards at my company as well.

Dr. James K. Woosley (physicist and lecturer) is our featured guest. Topic: Areas within particle physics which still offer the promise of discoveries in the near and distant future. Some of these discoveries may yield new energy sources to power our growing civilization, or the propulsion methods needed for interstellar travel to become reality. Some may even allow us to engineer our way around the light barrier and build faster-than-light spacecraft. Sub-topics Dr. Woosley covers: Antimatter, Tachyons (particles that can only travel faster than light), Neutrinos, Quarks, Quantum Chromodynamics, String Theory (manifolds and membranes), higher and lower dimensions of space, Supersymmetry, Preons, the Rishon Model (by Haim Harari), and a bit about the Higgs Boson. Hosted by Stephen Euin Cobb, this is the March 6, 2013 episode of The Future And You. [Running time: 66 minutes] These audio segments were recorded on June 21, 2012 in Chattanooga Tenn, at the science fiction and fantasy convention LibertyCon. Dr. James K. Woosley received his bachelors in Physics, Astronomy and Mathematics from Western Kentucky University. From Vanderbilt he received a masters in electromagnetic analysis of nerve impulses, and a doctorate in experimental particle physics. After which he went on to a career in the aerospace industry in Huntsville. [Side note:] Dr. Woosley's description of preon theories surprised me because I had created a preon theory myself back in the 1980s and 1990s, though I did not call it a preon theory since I'd never heard of such a thing. I called my fundamental particle a pip, and described in detail how all the known subatomic particles were made of pips and nothing else; as well as how the fundamental forces of nature were created by the behaviour of pips and nothing else. In the mid 1990s I tried to get some attention for my theories by mailing them to a couple of scientific journals, but they were never published. Eventually I used my preon theory as backstory and local color in my novel Skinbrain. I did this by summarizing it into the rantings of an alien physicist being tortured by a human physicist who kidnapped him for his advanced scientific knowledge. If you're curious and wish to read MY version of a preon theory, Skinbrain is available from Amazon, in Kindle format, for just $2.99. The reviews have been excellent.   They average four and a half stars.

Announcing several changes to Improvised Star Trek!   Firstly, new episodes will now be released biweekly instead of weekly. While we're sorry to make you wait longer between adventures of the USS Sisyphus, the new schedule will ensure that episodes arrive reliably on time, and that every episode meets our highest production standards.  It'll also free us up to produce bonus materials we've wanted to provide. Expect to hear some extras coming your way soon, hopefully to tide you over between new episodes.   Secondly, we're thrilled to welcome a new member to the cast, Mary Cait Walthall.  Mary Cait is an active member of the Chicago improv community, and we're all thrilled to have her on board the Sisyphus.   Listen for her in upcoming episodes!   Lastly, thanks to all of you who listen. If you're a fan of the show, keep spreading the word to your friends. Thats all for now, but we've got some exciting stuff in works, so keep listening, and watch here for all your Improvised Star Trek news.
