"I wasted a day on CSS selector performance to make a website load 2ms faster" by @trys trysmudford.com/blog/i-spent-aโฆ
This is one of the unfortunate things about the DevTools' "selector stats." It can really mislead you if you don't notice the text "(slow)" which _really_ means slow.

Despite the candidates' differences, 'agree' was a buzzword on the VP debate stage
Tim Walz and JD Vance shook hands multiple times on the debate stage, and each spoke of several areas in which they agree with the other. Here are some examples.

So a fascist candidate compared the residential school system to contemporary school policies allowing kids to self-identify their names and pronouns.
Yeah. Seriously.
So this is obviously abhorrent, but it's also kind of a fascinating peek into fascist thinking.
Sherry Wilson here apparently considers the residential school system primarily as a crime against the PARENTS of the stolen childrenโ a violation of their property rights over their kids.
And while there was definitely harm and pain (and, you know, assault) inflicted on the parents, it is the harm inflicted on the kids that should be centred.
This should be obvious? And yet.
The Residential Schools were abominable for many reasons, but absolutely first among those reasons is the stripping of children of their consent, and treating them like things.
Sherry Wilson thinks the problem was the state considered the kids state property instead of their parents' property, but she still considers them property.
To her, kids are things without consent of their own to consider.
J.D. Vance flew off the handle during the vice presidential debate Tuesday night after one of the moderators tried to fact-check him about his favorite topic, the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio.
Vance has exactly the same problem as ChatGPT: people are suckers for bullshit if itโs well-formed bullshit. They mistake grammar for intelligence. They mistake appropriate social forms for social relationships.
This guy is a human black hole who can mimic all the appropriate forms, and unlike Trump, he is the hand-picked choice of the oligarchs.

He isnโt running to be VP; heโs running to be president, either when Trump dies in office or when Trump dies in prison.
Trump showed the oligarchs just how weak US democracy is, and there's a lot of money that's ready to put somebody right at the heart of the rot who's not a batshit con artist, but a slick, surefooted tool.
Vance is โขextraordinarilyโข dangerous. Torpedo this man. Destroy him.

in reply to Nolan Lawson • • •Another issue I've noticed with "selector stats" is that it might give the impression that selector perf is all that matters for reducing style calculation costs. Whereas if your costs are due to CSS custom properties, or excessive numbers of stylesheets (e.g. this fun issue [1]), or something else during style recalc, you can end up chasing ghosts.
(That said, I *love* selector stats, and it has helped me debug some real perf issues! I am glad we have it!)

in reply to Nolan Lawson • • •I think the confusion comes from the expectations set by of all other performance profiling tools. We're used to Lighthouse and WPT being 'slow', but we know we can trust all their tables and graphs to be time-accurate.
This particular flavour of 'slow' needs a big ol' tooltip warning you which results are and aren't affected by the enforced slowness.

in reply to Nolan Lawson • • •same here! ๐๐ป They are especially helpful when reports come in from old/slow devices being sluggish upon interaction. In my case it's almost always due to style recalc durations as I try to circumvent JavaScript as much as possible anyways.
PS: What I would also โค๏ธ to see are # of elements affected by a recalc run and maybe also hints at how to reduce their amount, e.g. by not switching a class on the document root, but further down or further at the end of the tree, etc.
