I went to the ER today because a previous urgent care doctor told me I should go to the ER if the thing I'm concerned about would need specialized equipment to get checked. Today the ER doc basically told me "not urgent, follow up with a specialist" with more than a hint of "don't waste ER time with this stuff."

I don't have much of a point here. I'm just feeling deflated. I'm not good at prioritizing myself, so it sucks to be shooed out and (unintentionally) made to feel stupid for wasting ER time when I didn't know how how concerned I should be about my issue

At the same time, I empathize with the doctor. I gathered from overhearing the nurses that they were busy, so I'm sure that she just had a lot on her plate. I could tell that despite wherever else she had going on, she was also trying to communicate that she believed me, she understood why I was concerned, and to explain why my issue wasn't urgent

But in the moment I couldn't help but read her tone and body language more than her words. "You shouldn't be here," they seemed to say

To be clear, I don't think she was wrong. I feel like an idiot now, but I mostly just I wish I knew it was a non issue before going in

Google wants me to learn how to circle to search so bad that articles about it are now showing up in my news feeds

If you had two weeks to explore Japan (and had already been to Fukuoka, Kyoto, and Tokyo), where would you go and what would you do? (I likely will go back to Kyoto and Tokyo at least for a little bit.)

@rmondello Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum - I went without knowing what to expect beyond "nukes = bad." I ended up spending a full day there absorbing and processing.

I think the I/O demo where they tweaked HTTP headers on a response was one of my highlights from the keynotes

@scottjehl I think that's a very common use case, and extensions may still be best for more complicated transformations. But for common issues like the one they demoed it's awesome to have this built into the browser

Hm. Seems like too much use of my laptop's trackpad is leading to wrist pain ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Page Transitions API just got a shout out at I/O. Props to @jaffathecake for all his hard work on this spec

I totally forgot I/O was happening until yesterday. Kinda weird to now find myself here as an attended rather than a Chromie

I listen to music every day as I work, but somehow I forgot that genuinely enjoy discovery new music

There should be Ikea parties.

I have so many things to assemble. This would be more enjoyable with friends and drinks and movies.

@bvaughn I genuinely enjoy assembling IKEA furniture. I'd be so down for that

@bvaughn @thisismissem Where are you these days, anyway? Still on the east coast?

Chrome for Android is very bad at allowing you to use the system password manager

MSFT words I have to unpack in every meeting:

  • "ask" == "request"
  • "inbox" == "include"
  • "double click" == "discuss in detail"
  • "learnings" == "lessons"
  • "delighter" == "feature" (apologies to Kano)
dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@slightlyoff "inbox", "double click", and "delighter" strike me as especially org-specific, but at least with the last one I had a chance of guessing the right meaning

Could you give examples of the first two?

@slightlyoff hard pass, nothankyou

Iโ€™m heading to Google I/O next week. My first big conference since 2019. Who else do I know that is going to be there?

On a somewhat related note, has anyone figured out how to save sessions on the I/O schedule this year? I can't find a way to build a schedule for myself.

@grigs I think I'm going. That is, if I don't keep forgetting about it ๐Ÿ˜…

IDK, man. Maybe testing on representative devices is actually too hard hard? But if you're gonna produce a "numbers every web developer should know" clout-farming thinkfluence feelpiece, maybe disambiguate compressed vs. uncompressed file sizes.

dotproto,
@dotproto@toot.cafe avatar

@slightlyoff Ahh, but that would mean you'd have to actually consider compression and it's role
