I remember the days having to build my devkits with power regulators and having to flash them with separate programmers. The Arduino ecosystem opened up hardware to many designers, makers and tinkerer's. sure thing, the real cost of the boards is low. but the value is tremendous.


It's also the only place with such amount of trains. It is quite involved of making the infrastructure, and still it's managed. From april onwards you can travel from Amsterdam to London for 40 euro in 3 hours. There's a lot to align. Doesn't take away from the things that could be improved. Trains from Amsterdam to Germany stopping in small towns doesn't help.


Do you mean Utrecht and Arnhem or those on the German side? Or are you talking about using regional trains? I feel like the worst thing about the route is the lack of High Speed Lines but on the other hand these regions are densly populated so it does make sense to stop at some places.


We should mandate taxes are paid on fuel, they dump fuel before landing. Which has a worse impact on the greenhouse effect.


They don't dump fuel, except when they need to land in an emergency and don't want to risk landing overweight. This is a tiny fraction of the greenhouse effect caused by aviation, so taxing it wouldn't make any real difference.


There probably will be a plethora of different hard issues to fix in such situations. It's also easier to institute change in a dictatorship as opposed to a democracy (being a dictator that is :).


Why do you think it's called `back to the future`?


maybe because he wanted to go back to the future after getting slightly displaced


Do you use any of these in a browser: facebook, instagram, youtube, gmail, whatsapp, github, gitlab?


On my mobile device, yes, facebook. Specifically because I won't allow fb apps to install themselves on any of my devices.

On my laptop, yes I use some of the others. Mostly gmail and github, of those.


Webkit itself is very likely to die xD. Who uses safari nowadays?


I would not say it's likely to die because it's obviously false since on iOS it's the only choice but it's true that when you see the release logs of Safari, it's moving very slowly very far behind Chrome or Firefox.


Safari has 15% of the browser market share (https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share) (including mobile). WebKit will probably be fine for the foreseeable future.


Anyone on macOS who values battery life and system responsiveness.


iOS users


You could use the 'chromecast' flow. Where it creates a WiFi network the user has to connect to with another device. And then serving a webpage with configuration.


Not only flevoland, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wieringermeer. But we also have to give back some land for nature: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertogin_Hedwigepolder#cite_no... (only dutch though)


Funny thing is there's practically only Mozilla and Google left with their browsers. Microsoft, Apple and Opera all basically piggyback on the chrome renderer (prolly not entirely true for safari, but it doesn't run on anything besides apple anymore)
