on: Google Will Now Back Right-to-Repair
Does that mean they’re gonna open up the dropcams they’re dropping support for this spring so they can be used by a local server? Or really any of the products they’ve dropped support for recently? That’s part of right to repair too.

on: Hertz to sell 20k EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars
Yeah, it’s highly dependent on the country. I rented a car in Norway this past summer. I didn’t even ask for an EV, that’s just what most cars there are. We drove a ton. It was delightful. My vehicle charged up in 30 mins at a fast charger, the chargers were all over, and most charging locations had cafes or fun things to do nearby. I loved it!
In the US, I have a PHEV but when I’m not at home, I don’t even bother to charge it because there are so few chargers, they’re slow, and the ones that exist are often broken.

That’s before Safari added better web component support. I would expect many sites and apps to not work at this point.

on: Why the school choice movement is finally scoring breakthrough wins
I’m wish we spent as much time and money on fixing public schools as we do steering public money to private schools. The problem with many school choice programs is that it’s effectively giving up on a public school. That may benefit individual students but it abandons the kids left behind.

on: The Stoics were right – emotional control is good for the soul
To me, empathy is required to be a good stoic. Empathy helps guide ethical decision making. Just because we’re not overwhelmed by it and show it outwardly, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
Similar, though less essential, with other emotions. Stoicism is not the eradication of feeling. That would be denying our basic humanity and contrary to stoic principles. Instead, it is the mastery of it. Keep logic in control. Think Spock.

Take a look at this blog post on improving scroll performance.

The biggest trick is to use CSS and pseudo elements instead of actual DOM elements and bindonce wherever possible. Performant scrolling on older Android will always be tricky, even on native.

It's one of the only careers where you can make a good wage without selling your soul these days.

on: How we built our app in 2 weeks using Ionic Framework
jQuery leaks too much memory. Not a big deal on desktop, but it's a tool of last resort on long-lived webapps.
