@vinnl hey, admin of Fosstodon here, I know this is an old thread, but thought I’d chime in. Maybe this post will help allay any concerns about longevity?
Sure, add it to that folder, I don't care. Next.
Create a desktop icon? Well why not, just get on with it and give me the app! Next.
Install the Ask toolbar? Adopt a purple talking monkey? Sell my soul to the devil?
Next. Next. Next.
Remember when installing an app involved blindly clicking "Next" a bunch of times?
"People want more relevant ads" sounds reasonable, until you realise that "more relevant" means "tailored to influence your specific behaviour".
For example, showing you articles about the futility of voting if you're likely to vote a certain way.
En voor wie dit interessant vond: StukRoodVlees heeft recent ook een mooie analyse gedaan van het gebruik van voorkeursstemmen: https://stukroodvlees.nl/voorkeurstemmen-bij-de-tweede-kamerverkiezingen-2021-een-record-maar/
Ik hoor graag wat voor andere interessante ontdekkingen mensen doen. Speel er vooral zelf eens mee:
Voor mij wat verrassender: die andere aanjager van de toeslagenaffaire, Renske Leijten van de SP, staat nog wel een eindje af van haar lijsttrekker Lillian Marijnissen.
Verder duidelijk zichtbaar: de sterke nummers 2.
Met Wybren van Haga bijna op gelijke hoogte met Thierry Baudet, Pieter Omtzigt niet ver achter Wopke Hoekstra, en Tunahan Kuzu dicht bij Farid Azarkan.
Dan die andere vrouw die met voorkeursstemmen een plekje in de Tweede Kamer heeft bemachtigd: Marieke Koekkoek van Volt.
Ze heeft met gemak de voorkeursdrempel gehaald, ten koste van nummer 3 Ernst Boutkan.
.
Ook de stemmers van D66 hebben erg hun best gedaan om vrouwen in de Tweede Kamer te krijgen. In de peilingen stond D66 rond de 18 zetels, en je ziet een piek rond die positie.
Als het nodig was geweest, zou nummer 21 Kiki Hagen met voorkeursstemmen de Kamer in zijn gekomen.
De invloed van de #StemOpEenVrouw-campagne is bij sommige partijen goed te zien. Zo is bij GroenLinks elke uitschieter een vrouw, waaronder Kauthar Bouchallikht en Lisa Westerveld, die met voorkeursstemmen in de Kamer zijn gekomen, en Stephanie Bennett, die dat nét niet gelukt is.
Elke kandidaat heeft zijn/haar eigen balk, die weergeeft hoeveel stemmen die specifieke kandidaat heeft gehaald.
Zo kun je bijvoorbeeld duidelijk zien dat een overweldigende meerderheid van de VVD-stemmers op Mark Rutte (de eerste blauwe balk helemaal links) heeft gestemd.
I wrote a small website to analyse the way Dutch voters used their votes in the recent parliamentary elections #TK2021.
I'll post a preliminary analysis in Dutch below, but feel free to play with it yourself at https://verkiezingsdashboard.vincenttunru.com
I'm trying to resolve a performance issue, which is not my expertise at all. Updating the transform CSS property of a thousand SVG nodes shouldn't be a problem, right?
Any advice?
It looks like the recruiter-pretending-to-be-a-Tinder-match strategy is growing in popularity — a friend of mine, let's call her Lisa, got this message:
> I can't seem to get you out of my mind... Is there anything I can do for you Lisa?

Man, working with the Mozilla devs on Firefox bugs is always such a pleasure. I filed the bug yesterday, and already a dev has responded saying "let's make this work" and is pushing patches. I should be paying money for this browser. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699154#c2

Looking into how I might wrap Pinafore as an Android app ("Trusted Web Activity"), and I'm continually disappointed that no major app store has just started automatically listing PWAs.
This is an idea that Microsoft had years ago and (AFAICT) still hasn't executed on. https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/10/27/chromium-edge-pwas-on-the-way-to-microsoft-store/
Temporal is now in stage 3 for #JavaScript! https://github.com/tc39/proposals/commit/253a4ae237a30549849c49b4062972c4ee75e5b4
This means that it is highly unlikely to change and will almost certainly make it into JS proper. Temporal is a replacement for Date, solving many of its pain points. Read more here: https://tc39.es/proposal-temporal/docs/index.html
I've waxed lyrically about #TypeScript before: it's saved me many headaches, made complex tasks simple, and I believe every JS library should be authored in it.
But: it only works on teams willing to use and understand it.
A great way to get the downsides without the benefits is having lots of commits "to make the compiler happy" that just add type assertions everywhere.
I wonder what percentage of user stories ever written have had more than a cursory thought spent on the "As a..." and especially the "so that..." parts?
