If you could watch an individual water molecule, about once in 10 hours you'd see it do this!
As it bounces around, every so often it hits another water molecule hard enough enough for one to steal a hydrogen nucleus - that is, a proton - from the other!
The water molecule with the missing proton is called a hydroxide ion, OH⁻. The one with an extra proton is called a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺.
This process is called the 'autoionization' of water. Thanks to this, roughly one in ten million molecules in a glass of water are actually OH⁻ or H₃O⁺, not the H₂O you expect.
And this explains why protons can move through water much more easily than larger ions can. Let's watch how it works.

The second CFP just launched. It is for SeaGL which will be in Seattle, WA on November 8-9th. I've lead the conference for several years along with an excellent all-volunteer team. As usual, SeaGL welcomes proposals on all free/libre/open (FLO) topics, not just those related to GNU/Linux. We are especially interested in presentations from first-time speakers, and those that are more suitable for a grassroots community conference. More details to share here: https://seagl.org/cfp

My brain started playing a song from the back catalog of my memories, and I did some digging around on the internet to find the artist (Bree Sharp) had revisited the song (a "reboot" as she calls it):

There appears to be at least one small tweak to the lyrics that I approve of.
The original:

This was always a bad summary of a real issue: when you don't understand which DOM APIs induce the costs of layout, it's easy to find yourself with "weird" performance, and DOM API names don't make that clear.
But React didn't solve the problem, it only made it *look* solved until a codebase gets large enough, simultaneously depriving teams of the experience they need to diagnose and solve these issues.
