This article is a good primer on how AV1 works (and compares with VP8 and VP9): https://www.red5.net/blog/av1-vs-vp9-vs-vp8-comparison-for-l...

When using Promise.all(), it won't fail entirely if individual promises have their own .catch() handlers.

Subtle enough you’ll learn once to not do that again if you’re not looking for that behavior.

In my xp, React Native was far more fragile a few years ago, but it has improved immensely since then. I quite enjoy working with it these days.

When in Rome ...

I've found React Native, especially in recent times, to provide a very good mobile dev environment.

I wrote an app and had it running in both iOS and Android in no time (with minimal iOS dev and zero Android xp prior to that).

My app included the Jitsi video extension (with very customized Jitsi controls and self-hosted backend), so not just a simple CRUD app.

(To be fair, my background is mostly Node and React, but those skills made it a breeze.)

> Amazon says it has acted properly in response to FTC demands to ensure the preservation of relevant evidence. The company says it gave executives “explicit instructions on how to disable Signal’s DM [disappearing messages] feature.” A copy of those instructions has been provided to the FTC, according to Amazon’s filing.

Amazon's 'explicit instructions' on keeping messages visible: either a move for clarity or a masterclass in corporate subtlety.

This from the same company that insists on auto-deleting all old Slack and e-mail messages, to limit discoverability. And refuses to give you a larger e-mailbox than 4GB, for the same reason.

Washington state makes it so easy. My ballot is mailed to me weeks before the election date. I have plenty of time to research and fill it out. I then drop it off at one of the many official dropboxes around the city (or you can drop it in the mail for free, as long as you get it postmarked before the election date). The ballot is tracked from the time it's sent, received, and counted (I have mine set to alert me of its status via email and SMS).

I have a similar experience in CA. It's become a joy to sit down for an afternoon with a glass of wine, researching all the down ballot races as I fill in bubbles.

> Then they got lazy and just numbered the months.

This pattern is fairly common around the world.

It's amusing to me that in the Western world, the original Latin designations are off by two as we moved the start month but never adjusted the corresponding month numbers (so DECember (10) = 12, etc).

Render unto Caesar the two months that are Caesar's.
