Yes, as Sabine Hossenfelder would say: "Keep dusting those solar panels, guys!"

If you're going to work on a FOSS project as important as core-js, you need to develop a community. You can't do this by yourself, or you will suffer. You become the single point of failure. If you're not good at building community yourself, then you need to find someone to help you who is.

I was struck by the contrast with Daniel Stenberg who developed curl announcing his latest release:

"6 changes. 3 CVEs. 173 bugfixes. By 78 contributors out of which 42 were commit authors."

I found turning "io_uring" into title case "Io_uring" in this article a bit odd.

Wish the 5S had had this

I think Apple could have avoided this if they'd been open about this feature. I had my iPhone 5S crash when I took it out to take a photo on a frosty morning on my cycle ride to work. The 5S was so cold that its battery performance dropped and it couldn't service the processor. If it had been able to drop the CPU clock, I might have got the photo.

Careful now!

If you go to Bletchley and want to see this, make sure you go into the National Museum of Computing, and not into to Bletchley Park. They are on the same site, but are two separate attractions with separate admission!

Apple TV poor in the UK

I have the latest Apple TV. I use it for BBC iPlayer and YouTube, but both of those apps are not fully featured. iPlayer doesn't have the function to login with your BBC ID. YouTube doesn't have the function to subscribe to a channel when you've viewed a video - videos don't show any markup ie: buttons to click on.

It doesn't have the TV content that it does in the USA.

I subscribe to Eurosport (owned by Discovery), but that doesn't have an Apple TV app, so I have to watch via the web. (It's bitrate is half that of iPlayer for 720p, so the picture quality suffers.)

If I had a recent smart TV, I doubt I'd use the Apple TV.

How does it communicate? It would need to tow a buoy on the surface that can talk to satellites if it wants to stay submerged and continually stay in touch.

Shouldn't that be "notorious for notspots" not hotspots?

Perfect pic

The picture with this story is just too good...
