I flew west to get to Stockholm, but also left it going west. The last ~week of my life in which there were longitudes I hadn't flown through, the gap in longitudes was Berlin-Stockholm.
Stockholm is E because there's a 95 degree gap between the E and W points, my largest gap.

That would produce the same result for me, although the line of longitude opposite my home is only a little over 10 degrees away from my westernmost point.

In my case, since I have done round the world trips, it's defined by the largest E-W gap in places I've been on land.

what’s the farthest to each direction you’ve ever been?
N: Gullfoss, Iceland
S: Oban, Stewart Island (Rakiura), New Zealand
E: Djurgården, Stockholm, Sweden
W: Yìngchéng, Xiàogǎn, Húběi, China
(excluding air travel, and a transfer at HEL)
The E-W thing is undetermined since I've flown over both oceans a bunch of times, but, N = Kiruna, S = Singapore.

This seems like it belongs in a stock photo collection for mobility-related articles...

Something I had to do in the devtools console yesterday:
/* temp0 was the result of choosing "Use in Console" on a <input> in a datepicker's month header */
let i = /* number of months since I was born*/
function f() { temp0. click(); while (--i != 0) setTimeout(f, 0) }
f()

Reason it hasn't shipped is that support for compositor animations of more than one transform property at a time haven't been implemented yet. There's a plan to work on that in the next few months and then hopefully get the independent transform properties on a path to ship.

I suspect most American tourists never get to parts of Paris like that (maps.app.goo.gl/jrzecXhJWNMF… ), although they're more likely to see transit and buildings that look like that in other cities like Berlin...
I realized I've been a member of the @csswg for more than half of my life (as of sometime late last year).
One of the results of getting involved with something when young, and staying involved...

git log --format=format:%h does the same, it turns out:
$ git log -n 5 --format=format:%h e2af01557ac0

(oh, if only I could tell twitter to show this at fixed width!)
(Also, I have a vague sense that git identifies things other than revisions by these hashes as well, so there may be other things I should be examining for collisions. But I'm not that much of a git expert.)

It turns out that for the Chromium repository, 12 digits is not enough. There are two revisions in the repo whose initial 12 digits are the same, 72d496d75536. (If it weren't for that pair of revisions, 10 digits would be good enough. But 9 digits has quite a few collisions.)

A random discovery today about the Chromium git repository at chromium.googlesource.com/ch… . git varies the length of the short hashes it shows based on an estimate of the repository's size. For Chromium it shows 12-digit short hashes.

I like to think about the distinction between testing using an API surface that you care about the stability of versus testing using something internal where stability doesn't matter. For browser engines, the former means testing Web-exposed API surface.

Maybe also that 4 trains (2,400 or so seats if they're all 10-car, which I doubt) is enough for BART's share of emptying a 41,000 seat stadium.

Facebook posts from many of my Canadian friends seem to show that AZ followed 8+ weeks later by Moderna or Pfizer is a common regimen in Canada.
