W3C lists 1138 separate standards currently, so if each of their three engineers implements one discrete standard every day, with no breaks/weekends/holidays, then having an alpha available that adheres to all 2024 web standards should be possible by 2026?

Yes, that is exactly the plan: "We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version"

That really sounds absurd. Both the idea itself and the fact that they somehow screwed up the execution of such a simple thing that much.

Yeah, it's a common fallacy in appliance brand discussions: "my grandma has a <brand> and it still works! You should buy one, too!". First of all it's survivorship bias and almost always the quality has degraded a lot in the past decades (greed and consumers that don't want to pay the price for reliable appliances).

The meme talks about how millennials DON'T iron anymore

?

Yeah we're all stupid, except VW and their software-defined cars. Should we cease to exist now or what are you suggesting?

Amazing, I've missed that 🤦

That seems like an overly tedious way of entering your preferences. Why can't I just rank a handful of factors (cheap housing, beaches, climate, politics, diversity) and give them some weight?

You could even make the ranking of the factors in the current style ("snowy winters are [much] more important than beaches"). That would reduce the cognitive load of comparing 3 vs 3 properties many times in a row.

There's another layer to it: it's a meme about AI

Thanks for the insight! I just hope that Porto and Lisbon don't turn into another Paris or Rome...

That's not really how he himself describes it. His wife became a Christian and after going to church with her he wanted to investigate the backgrounds - he didn't want to disprove Christianity and was quite open-minded instead:

She invited me to a church, where I heard the Gospel explained in a way I could understand it. While I didn't believe it, I realized that if it were true, it would have big implications for my life. So I decided to use my journalism experience and legal expertise (at the time, I was legal editor of The Chicago Tribune) to investigate whether there was any credibility to Christianity or any other faith system.

It really is sad. For more than 25 years I've been visiting Portugal (so yes, I'm part of the problem...) and every year it gets a bit worse: endless new hotels destroying the beautiful views of the cliffs, villages mostly catering the needs of tourists, ...

I just wish I hadn't told everyone how amazing it is in Portugal 🥲

I absolutely loved that game until it got too hard for me or I got too anxious about losing my souls (putting me in an even worse position from them on). Probably also about 70% in.

Sadly I played it on Switch, otherwise I would have used some kind of mod to lower the difficulty. Doing that would have sucked, but never finishing the game sucks even more...

wtf.

Beware! This app is an entry drug and soon you might find yourself being heavily invested in OSM, editing more complex data in other apps or on your computer...

Geht mir genauso. Ich verstehe die Kritik nicht: dem Verein werden drei klischeehaft "deutsche" Eigenschaften zugeschrieben, die zwar generell positiv aufzufassen sind, aber in der Realität längst nicht Standard sind bei Vereinen in Deutschland. Man kann natürlich immer versuchen, Aussagen maximal negativ zu interpretieren, aber so ist es in diesem Fall wohl kaum gemeint...

I understand the issues with waterbeds, but for pillows I really don't see the trouble: You don't have to heat them or otherwise maintain them, except changing the water every few years, which is done in 3 minutes: unscrew, old water in the sink, new water in from the tap, close it up again.

Me too! Kind of astonished that nobody else even mentions them. I remember them being pretty hyped about a decade ago and I am still happy with my second water pillow so far.

"not" -> "now"?

Zu Ärzten mit schlechter Google-Bewertung [wegen zweitrangigen Kriterien] gehen.

Ist jetzt natürlich nur ein einzelner Datenpunkt, aber ich habe unlängst einen Termin am nächsten Tag (!) bei einem Facharzt in der Großstadt bekommen. Vermutlich, weil dessen Google-Bewertung irgendwo zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen gedümpelt ist - aber eben nur, weil er ein unfreundlicher, ungehobelter und unsensibler Mensch ist. Die Behandlung war auf technischer Ebene einwandfrei und auf den ruppigen Umgangston konnte ich mich ja vorher einstellen...
