It loads but is totally unresponsive on my iPad.

What do you mean exactly? Could you give an example?

We keep our canals reasonably clean; especially if you're close to one of the inlets of clean water the risks are low from what I understand. In the summer you have to watch out for algae etc. But we also keep track of those in official swim water around the canals. And finally I think the risks of swimming in a crowded small official swimming lake can be pretty high as well. But yeah, I'd still think twice before going swimming in a canal and I'd try to keep the water out of my mouth etc.

I don't see what communism has to do with everyone needing to be employed full time. That's just what they made of it in the USSR etc.

> Communism: a theory or system of social organization in which all property is owned by the community and each person contributes and receives according to their ability and needs.

Good riddance

Especially great when combined with https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release

Also just ran across this, looks interesting: https://github.com/zeke/semantic-pull-requests

I thought it was pretty obvious that the reason why our last wave here in the Netherlands has dropped as quickly as it rose is that we first let go of too many restrictions too fast and then immediately reinstated the biggest ones. Basically all the kids were going to festivals for a week or two before the government finally realized that was a bad idea until we've vaccinated them as well and we should still apply some restrictions.

Lack of hydration has also caused me light cramps. E.g: I was too excited about learning to surf to want go out of the water one summer. Plain water did the trick for me there.

Same here, have also tried that in the water, but didn't work that time. I get the feeling that some of the cramps people talk about here are worse though, or perhaps it's also about how much pain you can stand or how you react to such a situation in general.

Have also made it back ashore when swimming by myself in the see after getting a pretty bad cramp in one of my calves. Lots of swearing as well, went into floating position on my back and tried to stretch it out to no avail. Finally just kind of half floated half swam back over what felt like 10 minutes or so until I could call out to a friend. Have stayed a bit closer to people after that

Interesting I'd still go for Lit (https://lit.dev/) though if you want something light weight and no/little build.

I'm really curious about the 3D video compression codec; besides this, imagine what that could mean for 3D VR streaming!

I would imagine you could quite efficiently encode a second view that's largely the same as the first You'd need more processing power, but not much more bandwidth that way. But the VR 180 videos I've seen so far just seem to do side by side encoding. I guess you need hardware accelerated encoding and decoding for practical use so that's preventing such a new codec for now. Unless the side by side approach is already efficient at this

How unique are these ids really? I imagine certain apps will be very commonly installed as well as certain groups of apps? So it's not 32bits of information. Still more information to add to the finger printing pile..

I wish we could find a way to deal with this risk that's not simply disabling all kinds of functionality. Browser APIs seem to be suffering more and more by limitations to prevent finger printing.

Yeah, I think the world would be better off without ads altogether. Just allow people to search for what they need or want by themselves, that's enough.

How does that make it reasonable to close and effectively keep medicine away from people unless they pay more than cost price? Of course if some countries can not produce it themselves they will buy it from other countries. Having an open recipe just means factories will only be able to compete on price and quality; not on secret recipe.

I don't understand why we allow capitalistic control of medicine at all. The goal should be to maximize health, not profit. And in many ways, directly through subsidizing and indirectly by providing the wealthy infrastructure and schooling etc the public are already paying for medicine research anyhow. Why not go all the way and make it public altogether?

But I guess I'm a bit of an idealist..

I don't understand what there was to negotiate about which apparently was done better by the UK than the EU when these vaccines are being sold without profit; so for a fixed price? If there subsequently is a shortage in production you can not accept extra money to provide more to one than the other (then you would make a profit) so I'd say it logically follows that you either go with a first come first serve distribution or a social, per capita, distribution.

PS: I was really hoping the world would have banded together to develop all vaccines publicly; sharing their recipes and allowing the whole world to produce as much vaccine as possible without artificial financial limitations.

Sounds familiar and seems to come down to a shortage of housing built in desirable places all over the world. The sad thing is that even while investors are getting rich of these artificially rare commodities cities don't significantly build more and higher etc. Spreading out is a way around this, but the increased concentration of cities still seems valuable to me and most people, otherwise prices would drop, so it's not a real solution.

What kind of people or jobs would this be useful for? It's not replacing Slack or Jira or anything I can think of right now.

You can hook up a canvas element to be a source for a video element. But that's not very useful to me.

Actually, what I'd really like is to be able to use PiP through the standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Picture-in-... at all

I guess multi PiP makes sense. But I'd really like to be able to show any element in PiP, not just videos

Was also disappointed to find that browser picture in picture support was limited to a video element. Wish I could just use it on any element, like with fullscreen.

I can imagine some complexity as explained. But for example it seems reasonable to me to limit browser panel/PiP support to a single element at a time like it is now for video to avoid some of that.

This looks interesting!

If you try to derive which framework is used based on global variables then you'll miss the ones that don't pollute the global namespace like that but just use closures etc. E.g: most modern frameworks+toolkits like React+Webpack as far as I know.

Looks cool, but the generated QR codes link to qr.new instead of the domain I entered to link to. This is on iPad Safari. Is it required to register before this will work as expected? It's unclear to me.

I think the most significant factor in developer productivity usually isn't the specific language or framework used but the developer's experience with those. So yeah, use React if you're experienced in React.

I suppose it's slightly more animal friendly. On the other hand it just seems like another step into the direction of turning the chickens into optimized food machines. Would be more interested in seeing more means of producing tasty food without using animals and at reduced costs to the environment. Working towards one final giant culling of all unnaturally engineered animals and just continuing on with a small number of animals to live reasonably natural lives and produce goods for realistic, high, prizes to be consumed as a luxury or exotic thing. Sorry, I'm a dreamer I guess, continuously disappointed by a world that doesn't seem to be able to set any significant goals nor pursue them at large scale unless it's for profit and likely at the cost of the rest of the world.

Unfortunately tipping is becoming more and more common in the Netherlands. Seems to be blowing (back?) over from the States. I wish places would just charge higher prices and pay decent wages and keep things simple.

Supporting remote work can come at a cost to an employer so it does make some sense to me to offer less money in those cases and inversely, more money if you move to their town to work there. Other than that equal pay is more fair indeed. I think things have mostly gotten crazy along with some housing markets. Perhaps this will slowly disperse the extreme concentrations of wealth throughout countries with employers opening up more offices at cheaper locations. Or they will have to prove that those extreme concentrations result in equally large productivity/quality improvements.
