What does bootstrapped mean in this context?
The 'asynchonous problem' in JS is twofold. It makes it more difficult to reason about the program, and is hell on readability, and readbility matters. Support, maintenance, etc. The lack of an ability to structure async ops in a simple way is the biggest drawback in the language.

Callbacks of course have the drawbacks mentioned. Sure, you can separate the functions, smaller functions and that too is preferred, but still you get code that can be difficult to reason about and read.

Promises, for all the hype, in my view clearly did not help matters much. Promise code can be as weird looking or worse than callback code. Promises did not solve the problem.

Async/await IS the solution. I've started converting callback and promise code to it. It's a great new enhancement.
You mean the original intent of CATV?
Some languages make it harder than others, there is a whole class of bugs that just disappear when you have garbage collection for instance.

I really want to see Delphi compile times on a modern i7 and a fast SSD. For small-ish projects that should be pretty much instantaneously.
I pretty much stick to private repos to avoid this being a problem. I'm still generally pretty careful about it, but in case I slip up it's nice to know the info isn't just floating around out there for anyone to grab.

It used to be the Empire's paper of record, and one of the most prestigious in the world (if fairly stuffy, conservative and Conservative). Now, sadly, it's a shadow of its former self. The Murdoch years have seen its journalism, and its reputation, slowly fall. It's now positioned somewhere between the Daily Mail and the Telegraph (which itself seems to have lost much of its quality coverage over the past 20 years).
xojo (formerly Real Basic), I haven't used it but they were positioning themselves as the VB6 replacement for a long time.
I have former employers where CYA is important and don't trust anything not in writing. Will that work be done by the first of next month? Verbal yes means no, verbal no means yes. In person or on the phone. However written communication is solid as a contract. Written yes means yes.

An interesting aspect of primate dominance rituals at companies with too many managers is demonstrating dominance by asking someone of lower caste to ask someone for you, and the top dog wants proof by a screenshot or forwarded email or whatever, not "yeah I talked to him and he said...".

Operational concerns about demarcations apply too. "I gave that customer problem to XYZ when I passed him in the hallway" is too unprofessional and results in poor customer support. I gave that customer problem to XYZ in written email format is very hard to "accidentally" lose or forget.
Sounds like a better idea to just change the secret.
That's kind of exactly what the second half of my comment was about - if you have static typing, then this problem just doesn't exist.

If not, then the problem is really no different from not knowing what your functions are returning (are they returing a Promise object? are they returning the data itself?). Not knowing the return type of the functions you use is hardly something new. You would have the exact same issue with functions that take callbacks.

See the link I sent there https://goo.gl/vDk3Gz - you can hover over all the variables and functions (once the editor fully loads), try typing "n.", hover over the highlighted errors, etc. The tooling takes care of everything.

That's a completely unsupported assertion.

Why would the CPython devs punish one of the largest and well known python projects by moving to a non-python DVCS? That would create an absolutely toxic effect in the python community.

They didn't move from mercurial because of python any more than they moved to Git because they like C.
People...seriously...

I get it...you like github but you don't want to pay for private repos. That's when you use Gitlab or BitBucket and then this problem goes away.
Hmm now that you mentioned I realized I've seen this pattern before but I've never given it a thought. I'll definitely try it sometime, it seems to work pretty well. BTW sorry for make you feel old, it was not my intention haha

I think the key difference is you get to that incrementally. You start by "making the monkey dance" on an otherwise-static page, and you can work your way up to rendering everything on a fully-programatically-controlled canvas, a little bit at a time. Forcing you to do everything yourself from the start as TCL (remember tklets?) and Java did makes the barrier to entry much higher.
Moo.com shuts down Flavors.me (acquired 2012)
Hello,

With regret, we’ve made the decision to close down Flavors.me.

Due to a change in strategic direction, we've decided to move resources to focus on other digital projects and MOO's core heartland - helping businesses of all sizes look their best with beautiful printed products.

We fully appreciate how frustrating this is and hope you understand that we’ve deliberated over this decision for many months. Recent issues with Flavors have forced us to look very carefully at the service we provide and we no longer feel we can offer a robust service into the future.

We’ve already disabled new sign-ups and in the coming months we will begin to retire parts of the service. Due to this, we will be closing all free subscriber accounts on 31st March 2017. You are more than welcome to continue using Flavors until this date, but we’d encourage you to start looking for an alternative solution.

Below are a couple of suggested tools for building an online presence, from companies that we know and trust will provide a solid platform and a good customer experience.

Squarespace: We are excited to offer 10% off Squarespace for your new website. Try Squarespace for free, and when you’re ready to launch, get ten percent off your first purchase with the offer code FLAVORS10. This offer is effective through March 31, 2017.

We already do. It's called a webpage.
Awesome to see that they have grown so much. I've used ShareLaTeX since 2013 and really love it. The sharing functions are great, no need to install and manage a LaTeX installation and all plugins is just awesome. Their support pages are awesome also, whenever I google for stuff like "center align image latex" it's either some StackExchange page or their support page that's the top results.

Can't recommend it enough!

Which is why I would absolutely love to see a hardware vendor adopt paid updates, with a mission statement along these lines:

"we cannot believably promise a reliable progression of software updates, because too many before is have tried and failed. What we can do, however, is rewrite the rules so that we will have a much stronger incentive to follow through than or predecessors".
Well, we suppose that's a solution of some kind. How about never committing passwords and having passwords hardcoded in your codebase?
John Maeda Is Restarting His “Design in Tech”  Newsletter
The presentation mentioned was where I learned of the project. It sounded very very strange to me. Script kiddies who don't what what NTP does, only that it's good for DDoSing? What what that about..?

I wasn't surprised to learn that the project one year later was caught up evaluating Rust vs Go. That's great and all, but it's not saving the Internet from "meltdown".

Anyone who needs a modern ntpd and doesn't need the refclock stuff should probably just go with chrony.
It interesting in many places in South America glass bottles are the norm, they get sterilized and reused. You see crates of them stacked up outside the kioskos waiting to be picked up. You pay a deposit on the bottle and get a redemption when you return it. This isn't a new development either, its just kind of the way its always been. I am not sure why plastic didn't become as dominant in many of those countries.

Theres loads of competition for CL. Internationally many people have cut in on that space.

That is always the best course of action, no? Once it's out, assume it's compromised.
It's good for teaching purposes because it forces a very structured clear line of thinking.

Not convinced it's still best as a practical language though.
No, because the servers are still centralised and they can blacklist you at that level.
That's good to know! I used pizza, but custard would be more convenient and perhaps less filling as well. Thanks!

XMPP is looking better these days than it did not long ago. OMEMO makes encrypted messaging a lot simpler, Conversations provides a reasonable mobile client, and Prosody makes deploying your own server easy. Still a ways to go on some things (push notifications), but a lot better than it used to be.
I love your strawman example of the "war room" meeting.

On my remote team this has happened 3 or 4 times during production outages. The situation was nearly identical, except for lack of physical server room (we use AWS). Someone wrote an @team message in Flowdock, "Things are broken, we need a war room." Within seconds, people were in a video chat room. Within minutes (or, in one terrible case, hours), the issue was resolved.

The way everyone knew it was serious is because we rarely use @team-mentions and rarely call "war rooms". Also, our automated monitoring was firing and triggering pagers in PagerDuty for the on-call engineer, the log of which was also plainly visible to everyone in our Flowdock Inbox.

So yes, your example here is a nice one, but a strawman. Remote teams know how to take outages seriously.
UI Seems to be inspired from goto meeting.

That basically exists, but AFAIK you can't use it with OWS's servers, which means you can't interoperate with regular Signal users.

You'd have better luck with Matrix, which is designed for this kind of use case.
Completely agree. It's hard to beat VB6 for LOB CRUD apps.

This is the EU, not the US.
Distribution is the number one reason we do webapps at all. I feel this point is sometimes lost on younger generations that have barely seen on-site deployments at all.

Sometimes you don't need the distribution magic that webapps allow, and can dispense with the huge overhead that comes with it. That's where tools like Deliphi/Windows Forms et al can make your life easier. Today it's a corner case, but it's worth keeping in mind that it's still an option.

It almost looks like there is half of the article missing in the middle.
From that very paper you linked:

"the aggregate installed wind power of about 2.5 terawatts would require roughly 450 million metric tons [of steel]"

That's terawatts (nameplate power capacity) NOT terawatt-hours! A very important distinction since the steel is a onetime cost for the life of the turbine and can potentially be recycled at EOL.

Yes, you need currently available usually fossil energy to make renewable sources, including PV and nuclear. What is the alternative? Yes, embodied energy / EROEI is important, but it has to be considered fairly across all technologies. Including battery storage and nuclear plants, and the replacement of petrol vehicles with EVs.

Sharp Rise Reported in Older Americans’ Use of Multiple Psychotropic Drugs
The paper is extremely well written and their attack is very elegant, so all due credit there, however, I've never understood why ASLR was taken particularly seriously in the first place. It's always been obvious to anyone familiar with modern CPU architectures that strong ASLR is fundamentally impossible, and a vast amount of attacks have demonstrated that over time.

ASLR is a mitigation measure meant to considerably increase the effort an attacker has exert at a relatively small performance cost, nothing more. It does that quite well. Personally, I'm just happy it's easy to disable for performance reasons and I hope there won't be any attempt to mitigate this attack at the hardware level on general purpose CPUs.

They set themselves up to fail when they all lived each near other and set up an office. At that point, they were not a remote company, they were just people who worked from home a lot.

Working remotely is a totally different mindset, with different tools, different ways of communicating. When you have NO options to get together in person, you must develop the tools and techniques to make your communications work. These guys gave themselves an out, so they never had to do that.

I take it the spiel on that page wasn't written by a native speaker? The flow seems very strange. Don't get me wrong, it's excellent English on the whole, just a bit weird.

In part it reads like the page was written to sell a publishing platform and then modified to sell search-and-replaced names in books.

Personally I can't see a market for it at all; yet there seems to be several gushing positive comments here (maybe a bit too positive, it looks suspicious, but perhaps I'm just not the target).

Has anyone really ever thought "oh I wish my name was in P&P instead of Mr Darcy"?

In the US, I feel this is no longer worth it. I've found a lot of people attached to Prime for the addon services, but I wouldn't pay for Prime now that Walmart offers free two day shipping for orders over $35.
