Ugh, that brings back unpleasant memories as a third-party assistive technology developer back then (before I joined the Windows a11y team at Microsoft). The introduction of pre-Chromium Edge was disruptive for screen reader users, or perhaps more accurately, would have been if everyone hadn't just kept using their other browsers. When Edge switched to Chromium, it was a relief for me.

This is a real picture, it has not been altered, just great timing as he launches over the wave

Gabriel Medina, #Brazil, he scored a 9.90, the highest single wave score in Olympics history

then he stood on air in a #photo which is instantly iconic

Behind the Photo: How Olympic Photographer Jerome Brouillet Got The Shot

Brouillet’s photo of Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina floating above the ocean has quickly become the defining image of triumph at the 2024 Games.

aria-label Does Not Translate

As of my 28 January 2024 update at the end of this post, aria-label auto-translation support is seemingly as spotty as when I first wrote this post. It does, actually. Sometimes.

Caveman

In mobile and on desktop, I'm mainly using mid to low end hardware, though it would be nice to see more thought given to those users not shelling out $500-$1000 on a new phone every couple years and those concerned about all the e waste needlessly generated to perform basic tasks in modern computing. If I can play 3d rendered video games from the early 2000s on the machine, I expect to be able to check a few boxes and scroll up and down in my email client without considerable lag.

For what it's worth mapcomplete.org/benches.html makes it pretty easy to add images to #OpenStreetMap objects.

I thought @MapComplete had a carousel of nearby WikiMedia images for easy crosslinking but it's not showing up for me for the themes that I thought had it.

Edit: there's a "browse and link nearby images" button much further down the form.

In everyday life we encounter two kinds of forces: energetic forces and entropic forces.

When you hold a rock you feel it pushing your hand down. This is an energetic force: raising the rock increases its energy, while lowering it lowers its energy.

When you stretch a rubber band, you feel it pulling back. This is an entropic force. You're not mainly increasing its energy as you stretch it. You're decreasing its entropy! You are taking the tangled polymers in the rubber and forcing them to line up more neatly.

We see here a fundamental truth of thermodynamics: when the temperature is constant, the world wants to minimize its 'free energy', which is energy minus temperature times entropy. So the rock pushes down to reduce energy, but the rubber band pulls back to increase entropy.

Now for a puzzle. When you compress a cylinder of gas, it pushes back. Is this an entropic force or an energetic force... or maybe a mixture of the two?

Yes, the force is due to the pressure of the gas. When you compress the cylinder, molecules of gas inside are bouncing against the cylinder's head, pushing back. That's a perfectly fine explanation at the microscopic level. But you can still ask: are you increasing the energy of the gas, or decreasing its entropy... or both?

Think about it a minute, and then I'll tell you. Someone told me the answer, but I decided it's not quite that simple, so I'll explain the answer I came up with.

If you can handle some math, check out my blog article about entropic forces. If you can't - fear not, the answer to the puzzle uses essentially no math!
