It is very likely to be victim of survivorship bias here. It's not that there were no bad houses back in the day, they are just not here anymore. So it is easy to believe people built better houses in the past.


Sounds like anecdotal evidence to me so I rather put my faith in the statistics.


It doesn't work for me in Safari on Mac


Safari has all kinds of issues with audio. Every report just leads to a rdar: url and then silence, both from Apple and from Safari haha (cry)

For a while couldn't send streamed but redirected audio through the webaudio api on Safari only. Workaround was to manually catch the redirect but the latest safari that doesn't help.

Like WebGL I don't think Apple wants Web Audio to work. They've got several outstanding bugs in WebGL (3yrs+) and their non-existent WebGL2 support as not seen a single commit in > 3yrs. Web Audio appears to be the same. It's frustrating.


They do have their own Apple Music streaming platform, perhaps you can just do what they do


I've had trouble identifying why. Safari has a largely compatible AudioContext API, and there's no errors, but the audio never starts playing and there's no "onended" event when it's supposed to be done. So I'm a bit stumped at the moment.


Same for Safari on iPhone


Same for me (safari on iOS)


Cant read this article, Medium shows me to signup for an account.


That always pops up for me, but I can just close it by clicking outside the box or clicking the x in the top right. Do those not work for you?


Those always used to work. But now I’m getting an uncloseable popup:

You've completed your member preview for this month, but when you sign up for a free Medium account, you get one more story


Use a private browsing tab, or clear your cookies.


Alternatively, disable JavaScript, works and looks great.



Add uMatrix plugin and block cookies and scripts from Medium.


Writer here. As someone who spends a lot of time in public transport I am always disappointed in current public transport planners, since they are ‘static’ and can’t handle well disruptions.

I created the public transport assistant concept to explore the possible advantages of live location data within public transport and to investigate the possibility of creating a more dynamic route planner. For example, once we know in which train a passenger is, we can check when this train will arrive at a certain station and act upon it.

My next step will be to create a minimum viable product that encapsulates a basic route planning system (e.g. OpenTripplanner) and the described vehicle classification system.

Let me know what you think, feedback is always welcome!


Shameless self plug here, few months back I created a project https://www.contenttagger.com that gives you hints for Schema tags based on a parent Schema attribute. You can also validate it with Google devtools + Facebook graph.


ContentTagger automatically shows you the 'child' attributes from a chosen domain or range attribute so it becomes more easy to select something. On top of that I'm able to pass a link with the code to Google Structured Data Developer console and Facebook Graph, so easy testing!

In the future I want to add more schemas (currently only schema.org) and create a library which you can use to query linked data yourself with SparQL.

Stack: Node, MongoDB, React

If you have any questions or feedback let me know so I can make the product even better, thank you!
