Reader mode is by far my favourite Firefox feature!
It is overwhelming how sweet is to read focused on the content instead on closing the next-to-scam popups that decides to open up on a random part of the article.
One interesting side effect of reader mode is that as all content has the same format, you get used very fast to compare content not based on external artifacts (font, colors, page layout), but in the actual message.
Indeed, here in Chile we have a lot of hydropower, but the overwhelming majority of it is located on the center and south of the country (where most of the population lives), while the big solar projects are located on the north (where most of the mining activity happens).
Being such a long country this means that there are big distances between hydropower and solar plants (1500+kms) rendering inefficient to make use of combined energy sources due to energy loss on the transmission lines and the cost of building these transmission lines.
In fact, the power grids of the north (SING) and the power grids on the south/center (SIC) are not yet connected [0], causing a huge excess of energy on the north system due to the recent addition of solar plants. The excess of energy is being sold to Argentina [1] instead of being used on the south, making me wonder what interesting things we should be doing with this excess... (mining bitcoins, datacenters, etc).
Being in the middle of a struggle with Javascript tooling (Javascript, ES5 v/s ES6, typescript, webpack v/s System.js, shims, pollyfils, npm downloading the internet, etc, etc) I can't but imagine that there should be a better way.
How much I would like Webassembly to be ready to open the gates to other languages on the frontend land. Anyone here has more information about webassembly / python on the browser? I would love to know what is the current state of the art of running python on the browser and contribute to make the dream come true.
I have on my radar Brython [0], py.js [1](seems to be abandoned) and pypy.js [2]
If this is the case, I think it's just a matter of time for Apple replacing Intel with their own custom ARM chips.
