@zkat (browsers have to traverse the nodes in document order and determine which ones match which selector strings in order to render the document anyway, so they definitely have fast tooling for this)

@zkat my understanding (not a browser implementer so i could be wrong) is that all the optimization is in the "does this node match the selector string" bit and the actual querying is a straightforward traversal of nodes in document order, returning the ones which match

like you could maybe get a little faster by optimizing certain queries to not do a full traversal, keeping track of each node's position "in document order", and doing a sort at the end but i'm not sure it's worth it…

i would expect the more expensive operation in most documents is probably doing the "does this node match one of these selectors" boolean test

@zkat doesn't it just walk the tree and return all/the first node(s) which match the selector string?

@coriander i listened to HOTORI when it was a single and loved it; still working through the rest of the album now but so far it has not disappointed

wait SAI finally released albums?? my japanese jazz aficionados, you have failed me

anyway i’ll do a longer and more involved end-of-year music recap when the year is actually over lol

Notions by Heavy Gus somehow made my Top Albums despite me only learning about it last month which surprises me

Janice Kwan making №4 on the strength of two EPs is a pretty big achievement

Show thread

“top artists” is at least ranked by minutes so i can share that:

1. King Hannah
2. Tim Linghaus
3. CHVRCHES
4. Janice Kwan
5. Milky Chance
6. Alison Wonderland
7. Honeyglaze
8. Wolf Alice
9. Joy Oladokun*
10. Katelyn Tarver

* This is a biased result because this album is very long. On the other hand, BERWYN should probably be on this list but isn’t.

i can't do end-of-the-year music things because i only listen to albums

i have no experience in community organizing but here is how i know mastodon does it wrong

@coriander @aescling yeah people complained because it was only "revealed" in like the credits but anybody with eyes knew within the first thirty seconds so

@coriander @aescling like sure it's a trashy memey kids movie but it is also one of very very few pieces of contemporary cinema which actively uses cinematography as a form of characterization for its protagonist
