Notes for week 22 of 2021

Hopefully last slow week. I’ve been also hit by a heatwave and readjusting my temperature expectation. Time has come to move towards making ice teas.

Programming-wise, it was chores week continuing the translation cleanup. I hope to get to new stuff next week.

Random

• I’ve walked 41 km. I’ve been active for 9.3 hours during 7 activities. This week’s max speed was 9.4 km/h.
• If you want to bundle all your javascript code into a single bundle (i.e. because you want an easy distribution to your friend) using webpack, LimitChunkCountPlugin with maxChunks=1 is the way
• I spent quite some time looking for good HTML5 calendars only to discover that input type=“date” is reasonably supported as well as well-looking
• I continue to listen to Lyfjaberg in a loop

Recommended Readings From This Week

• U.S. Military Personnel Spilled Nuclear Secrets in Online Flashcards: OpSec is hard, but one would think that it’s taken seriously when handling, like, nuclear warheads.
• The Mass Email Mistake: I have the same experience
• Cloudflare on the Edge: Stratechery on computing on the edge. I strongly resonate with the political conclusions at the end: I am of an opinion that we’ve enjoyed a nice ride of the open internet, but we are heading towards a future of federated national intranets with limited interoperability.
• Dear EU: Please Don’t Ruin the Root: EU thinking about crossing the Rubicon of extraterrestrial regulations
• Passport: I really like how Ben is thinking! You can still do magic if you treat the Internet as public park
• A rogue killer drone ‘hunted down’ a human target without being instructed to, UN report says: First Skynet kill. Somebody start a counter
