Bloggers and newsletter peeps, I beg you, make your RSS feeds *easier* to find by having them be links on your website, especially on mobile. I am a lazy person, so having to hit share, and then my RSS reader app is sometimes a lot of work VS just double tapping on an RSS link. Also, sometimes, my RSS reader can't find your RSS feed. I *want* to follow you, but not by email. I use email for communication. #RSS #WebDev #Newsletter
@brendt Thanks for your Things I wish I knew when I started programming presentation on the meetup in Eindhoven. It was a good talk and flashback to old times.

This is so amazing: In 1970, the city of Paris organised a photography competition, splitting the city into more than 1700 squares of 250 meters length.

Now you can browse the images taken in 1970 in this super cool/simple map, square by square!

I already checked out my old neighborhood ❤️

How can you say that one thing caused the other?

For example, I see the same rampage of physical ads in real life, and it's not like there are ad-blockers for those.

I enjoyed the rest of your write-up, though. Thank you

Can confirm, the browser on the right is set to Portuguese, and the error message is also in Portuguese (both browsers are some kind of Firefox).

I also noticed that kind of localization (from browser, not website's lang) when I used date/time inputs

I've been following this "mutual safety standards recognition" stuff out of the US/EU talks. This could be really, really bad.

It would mean that US vehicles, like those giant dangerous SUVs and pickup trucks, could be freely imported into the EU in volume without having to pass EU vehicle safety standards (like pedestrian safety).

I haven't seen any organised resistance to this. Does anybody know any other organisations that are fighting this?

ETSC: Mutual recognition deal with U.S. will cost lives on Europe’s roads

By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the United States, the European Union has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice…

In my opinion you are comparing apples with oranges. There are multiple tiers of repairability/upgradability, each with clear trade-offs.

The simpler example would be soldered RAM, which is more performant than SO-DIMM (soldered RAM can clock higher). But with the obvious trade-off of not being easily upgradable.
So you couldn't directly compare laptops with different memory installation options, sometimes even within the same vendor.

Different strokes for different folks.
