Montréal airport seemed to think that Reykjavík is in the States. 😝

Every 'lower VAT for ebooks/digital news' scheme I've seen so far is a bald-faced subsidy for dinosaur incumbents to protect them from smaller, lower cost competitors. Its anti-competitive and grossly unfair.

Heading to the airport soon. But, first, since I’m going to be deprived of it for a month, some poutine for lunch.

This is a recurring thing in JS TBH with names like express, Objection, React, and the like.

The name Vue JS is confusing as hell when face to face

'Then we hook up the API with Vue JS.'

'You mean the view layer. Yes.'

'No. Vue JS.'

'Parts of the view are going to be in JS, sure.'

'Vue is a framework.'

'I've always thought of it more as an abstraction, TBH.'

I'm leaning towards 'it absolutely says something', if that wasn't clear 🙂

Sure looks like Apple hasn't managed to come up with a compelling replacement for the Macbook Air even after years of trying.

Don't know if that says something about their Mac hardware design of late or not.

I don't know whether it says anything about Apple's current Mac lineup but even though most people I know are Mac users none of them own the current gen Macbook Pros. The vast, vast majority own Macbook Airs.
