There are tons of autoplaying videos, and each one takes a few % of my CPU. The biggest difference for me was the one just after the heading "Who needs December 30, 2011 anyway".
Turning off autoplay (e.g. media.autoplay.enabled in Firefox) fixed it. You can still play each video by right-clicking on it.

The colors make it harder to read than necessary, and the text is bigger than I prefer on my phone.
Reader mode didn’t work, so I gave up.

#5Slightly off topic but I wonder how you handle time where dilation is present. For example if a spacecraft travels to mars and there is mars local time, plus time dilation from the journey, when does a transmission start from a reference frame? Not UTC related for sure! Or is it? And then what happens if someone else goes there in a different orbital pattern and the dilation is different.
and then there is the question of how you would represent a recurring calendar entry between both places.

#6Could people stop appropriating rap culture in their tech blogs (etc.) with patronizing garbage like "While I was initially building this talk, I found myself listening to the words of my absolute favorite modern-day philosopher: Nas"?

Sorry about the lack of support for Reader mode; not entirely sure why that's happening (it's a pretty basic markup structure). If anyone's got thoughts on that, let me know and I'm happy to fix it.
(Finna hang on to my videos, though! Life doesn't always need to be so one dimensional, particularly for one-offs like this.)

Sorry you found it patronizing, I guess. Nas does great shit, though.

I did, because you followed with "I’m not really sure what to take from all this, other than if Nas is really concerned about computer science and how it relates to time, then dammit, we should be concerned, too." The theme of the song you're talking about is lukewarm neoludditism. Not vague concern for computer science.
And you're still doing it, infantilizing his music. He doesn't do "great shit," you could say he is a great lyricist, that Nastradamus is an underappreciated album (or, according to Nas, that it really is trash -- who's right?). But rap doesn't get a seat at the Adults' Table, it seems.
