So is this:
* Facebook trying to imply that the NHS has better health advice than the US government (or California), or
* a sign that Facebook's algorithm for where I am is simply "the last place I gave it location permission" (which I think was Heathrow Airport, on Feb 1)?

That's nice, except when the two meetings you had that used to be consecutive now overlap for three weeks, because one of them follows US time change rules and the other follows Germany, because that's where the people who created the calendar events happen to live...

It's the Sunday after next Sunday (March 8), and this year it's three weeks (March 8 through 29).
It switches between 2 and 3 weeks since it's the interval from the second Sunday in March to the last Sunday in March, so it depends whether March has 4 or 5 Sundays.

Though regarding the explanation, it's not like high-end (i.e., people, not machines) car washes in the bay area don't mess up floor mat hooks while seeming to have no idea that there's anything important about them...

Maybe it's people using MySQL's "utf8" rather than the obviously (or not!) much preferable "utf8mb4"? :-/

Should try using non-BMP Unicode characters that aren't Emoji... e.g., write the note in Shavian!

And it's worth thinking about given the popularity of frameworks with a programming model where the developer maps application state to a virtual DOM tree, and the framework then rectifies that virtual DOM into a minimal set of modifications to the real DOM.

This is important for various ways that browsers adapt pages to devices or to the needs or preferences of users, from screen readers, to scroll anchoring, to ad blocking.

In other words, it's important that the browser can recognize that a section of the page, or a heading, or a paragraph, is the same section/heading/paragraph that it was a minute ago, even as the page is dynamically changing.

Briefly, what I argue in it as that while we talk often about semantic markup, there's another piece that's probably even more important that we think about less, which is persistent object identity in the DOM.

I just posted a new blog post (it's been a while): Semantic markup, browsers, and identity in the DOM

Did anybody else get signed out of *all* of their slack tabs over the last few minutes?
(Also, for logging back in to 2 of 5 of them, I got "too many login failures" on the first try, and then the same login/password worked on the next try... which required doing a CAPTCHA.)

The link to that forecast is forecast.weather.gov/MapClic…
Is anyone/anything able to check the accuracy of forecasts for locations like that?

In this screenshot, Slack tabs 1 and 3 have DMs or at-here/at-channel notifications. Slack tab 5 has other unread messages. Tabs 2 and 4 have nothing unread.
I'd like to be able to set channels so they don't switch the tab from the state of tabs 2 and 4 to the state of tab 5.

Also:
- water needs of plants vary a lot by season/light anyway. Quantity per watering you can tell by when the water runs through, frequency you just have to figure out somehow (!).
- picking up a pot to see how heavy it is is a great way to judge overall hydration

The potted hydrangea is more sensitive and probably wouldn't survive longer trips that I used to do, at least in summer.
And I move some plants away from sunny spots into shadier ones if I'm away a long time. (But philodendron & drysena in shady spots anyway.)

This applies to my two drysenas & multiple philodendrons. (Assuming I have the right names! Google image search.)
The snake plant and christmas cactus can probably last a good bit longer.
The bromeliads are similar to the first group but leaves can brown at the ends.

Longer than that (by a week, anyway) and the plants are still alive but I have to cut a bunch of dead leaves off of them and clean them up a bit when I'm back.
Some of them also take a *lot* of extra water when I return (e.g., soak up the normal weekly amount 3 days in a row).
