> It was her 11th Ironman race despite not learning to swim until she was 59 and not starting triathlons until she was 60.

This gives me some hope about learning some new sports late in my life.

I can somehow convert distances in my head, by pace is harder! If someone has a trick to quickly convert between minutes/mile and minutes/km please chime in.

> For most difficult decisions you’ll never know what would have happened if you had done things differently.

This sentence really resonates with me and should live rent free in a lot of people's mind.

I did not know about that. What's the name of those races? How can I find out more?

How about installing an ad-blocker on her iPhone? Do you really believe that all iPhone users browse the web with ads?

Haha, thanks for sharing, I had no idea! :)

Norway has a famous clothing brand simply named "Jean Paul". I've seen a lot of middle managers wearing clothes from this brand every single day. I've even worked with Norwegians thinking it was Jean-Paul Gaultier's own brand. This brand is unknown in France.

Meanwhile in France, every food which has (smoked) salmon on it will be called "Norwegian XXX". Pizza with salmon? It's a "pizza norvégienne". Salad with salmon? It's a "salade norvégienne". The only outlier here is the "omelette norvégienne" which is neither an omelette nor has salmon in it. It's a cake! Also known as "Baked Alaska" in the USA?

Does someone have a good introduction do micro-frontends? All I see is third-party widgets implemented using iframes or Web Components, and that is usually a nightmare for front-end performance.

A lot of articles from Josh Comeau are very good at explaining things and are quite interactive. Last one about CSS Flexbox for example: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/interactive-guide-to-flexbox...

This is by design and it happened to the HN Paris meetups I co-organized a decade ago. The new owner was a sales person and completely ruined it by spamming the list and creating new events that were just a cover for sponsored talks/hackathons :(

I feel seen. I have bookmarks folders named “To Read $NUMBER” from 10 years ago. Why do they end by a number? Because I create a new folder every time the previous one feels overwhelming.

I switched to Kagi recently (and became a paid user!). Somehow DDG never really clicked for me, I find results on Kagi better.

That's from React: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/a724a3b578dce77d427be...

That's what we did at Jolicloud a decade ago to make a better (different? beautiful? doomed?) OS for netbooks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joli_OS

The OS booted ASAP to a fullscreen Chromium instance, until we added support for running Linux apps too later on. I didn't work on the windows management so can't say more about this technical side.

> the French seem to enjoy using different standards

I chuckled :). How dare they use the metric system and degree Celsius? You got me curious about the WiFi channels though, but it looks like there is nothing specific to France: https://www.lairdconnect.com/support/faqs/what-channels-are-...

Thank you!

Tailwind UI, by the same authors. But it's a paid product.

Correct.

I like the "Controlling File Size" of the Tailwind CSS project: https://tailwindcss.com/docs/controlling-file-size

They DO tell developers to remove unused CSS when building for production of course, but in case you ship the whole (big) default file, it goes from 2309.7K to 180.6K (Gzip) or even 43.6K (Brotli)!

> Start putting css in the style attribute while you’re at it.

I think everybody reacts like this at first (including me) :) If you put styles directly in the attribute, nothing is preventing your from using a color that's not part of your palette, nor using sizes that do not respect your UI "flow". Tailwind comes with a (customizable at build time) well-defined sets of colors and sizes.

I recommend watching the 17-minutes long talk "In Defense of Utility-First CSS" for those curious about Utility-First CSS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R50q4NES6Iw

I feel you. I have a similar issue with the logo of this Norwegian company: https://www.bus.no.

After seeing your comment, I thought blue should be #DaBaDe(e) but I wasn't first to come up with this idea: https://colornames.org/color/dabade

The website has the user agent but it cannot send it to the analytics platform because requests are being blocked.

We have almost no snow around Oslo at the moment, which is quite rare. There are talks about canceling some upcoming ski competitions because it doesn't make sense to use snow canon when temperatures are positive (ºC).

Meanwhile, a company just opened a small ski resort indoors (a bit like in Dubai) 10~15 minutes by car from the city center: https://snooslo.no. The goal is to have it open and at -4ºC all year long. This is so backwards :(

Same here, using Safari if it helps.

I was surprised how usable it was on my iPhone, great job!

11,000 feet ~= 3350 meters

Also, did we need more evidence that climate change is real? The article has a paragraph about deniers ("people […] cynical about the impact of climate change") but somehow I don't think they will change their mind because there is a now a lake where there shouldn't be in the Alps.

I only use Safari on my personal computer. And at work I use Firefox for development, and Safari for personal stuff. I used to use Chrome but nowadays it's very rare (testing something specific).

The thing is, Chrome actually feels snappier than both Firefox and Safari when I am using it, probably because it's profile is empty (almost no extensions, no history, etc.).

I rarely see broken websites, with any browser. And usually it's because of my ad-blocking extensions. Google websites are slower on Firefox, but rumours are saying that it's almost on purpose… (one more reason to not use Google products like Chrome).

I saw a tweet recently about macOS power consumption fixes: https://mobile.twitter.com/pcwalton/status/11661937700160798...

Haven't noticed any memory bloat myself though (= it consumes a lot of memory, like any browsers). It's somewhere between Safari and Chrome.

30 feet = ~9.14 meters
