But how are the W3C specs any better than the WHATWG specs?

As far as I know the W3C take the WHATWG specs, and modify them with some of their own ideas so they're different from the what the browsers implement or are planning to implement.

What on earth is the point of that? Why design your own spec that nobody is implementing or planning to implement? What a waste of time!

And back to your point - why is it better than the WHATWG specs?
Well, this deployment was using aws ecs, we created custom AMIs via packer and then ran application containers on them via ecs.
Great system. I do something similar by creating a "_misc" folder out of source control. The "_" is so that alphabetically it is listed at the top and not intermixed with actual project folders.

I use it to store code snippets, prototyping scripts, misc notes that don't fit in my main folder system for notes/todos, query output, and other random items. If the _misc/ directory becomes too cluttered , then I throw most of the items into an "archive_$DATE" sub-directory (inside _misc).

I'm still working on a broader, general organization system for notes, documents, links, todos, etc... (lots of good ideas in this thread). But this works well for more ephemeral project-specific stuff.

I just started using Evernote. The only thing I don't like about it is no Markdown support.

I also have my own private visualstudio.com environment - MS Team Foundation Services hosted version. (yes it uses GIT). It has a wiki that uses Markdown.
If the code snippets are useful enough to me, I tend to add them to the repository under some title like "tools" or "scripts". That way other people can benefit from them and help improve them if they are useful. Otherwise the knowledge/time dies when I move away from the project.

Documentation wise, I use Markdown (religiously keeping it to 80 characters) and Pandoc to build any kind of output. Again, I normally just add this stuff to a Wiki somewhere. I've been terrible at keeping this stuff up to date, but for the most part it acts as a good starting point and either myself or someone else in the team can update it.

On a different note, I would be careful about adding content related to work to outside resources (run this by somebody). Personally I like to stay in control and not rely on some relatively small company still being around in 10 years time.

Edit: +1 also for using paper and pen for coming up with ideas, etc. Most things start there for me and then end up being digitized.
What do you call a US prison farm? [1] Even Wikipedia acknowledges that "the concepts of prison farm and labor camp overlap." Labor camps are even explicitly permitted by the 13th amendment "... which ended slavery, specifically perpetuated the concept of penal servitude – i.e., unfree labor as a punishment for a crime."

Waymo does nearly 5500 miles per disengagement, GM seems to be at about 1200 or so as per the California submissions for 2017. Of course this does not tell us the quality of the miles - it is easier to achieve a lower rate of disengagement on the highway for example, but perhaps it serves as an indicator.

All others testing in California are 300 or fewer miles per disengagement.
There are contexts in which multiplying two signals make sense. Others have mentioned electronic mixers like the ones used in radio modulators / demodulators. There are other contexts in which adding makes sense, for example when determining the signal received at a microphone when multiple people are talking. Or the signal received by an antenna when multiple transmitters are transmitting.

Bret describes a "local signal" and a "signal received from a distant source." I think most people (non electrical engineers, anyway) would imagine the local source as someone speaking into a microphone, and the distant source as someone shouting from across the room. In this scenario, we should add the signals, and everything that follows is incorrect.

But to an electrical engineer, the "local signal" could be a local oscillator, and the "distant signal" could be the received signal at the antenna. In this case, we feed both signals into an electronic mixer, and multiplying is the correct way to think about it.

I know Bret is really big on abstractions, but the context actually matters here. You might be able to abstract away some of the physical parts (microphone, antenna, demodulator, etc.), but you can't just skip over additive vs multiplicative contexts.
Same, I use OneNote for planning, brainstorming, and storing snippets and random important info. I don't have to worry whether I saved changes, unlike when I used Notepad++ and kept losing notes. I also do a lot of pen-and-paper scribbling, especially when working on an issue for a customer.

I can access OneNote via the web too, so I'm not limited to my Windows workstation for access to my notes (I use two Linux based laptops for inventory and other "on the go" tasks). I think it's one of the best applications to ever come out of Redmond.
> But Ember gets a bad wrap from the internet because (admittedly) their marketing materials with the gooofy chipmunks make it look like a toy

Ember.js is best technology that I've ever dropped, but let me assure you, the Tomster had nothing to do with my decision.

Ember got into the spotlight when Atwood and Co. have launched the Discourse. Back then it looked super impressive - first open source forum software and arguably one of first open source apps following "JS fronted and API backend" architecture. And it was all done with Ember.js, js FW marketing itself as the modern way to build JS apps!

A lot of people wanted to try it out (myself included), some moving from Angular, other from Backbone, and others coming from backend development. If Ember ever had the cool factor, it was that time. Ember.js was the next big thing, a framework for creating
ambitious web applications, and all the people came to it to build their ambitious applications, looking up to Discourse as example of such application.

And then those people have hit the roadblock. Ember.js's pitch was building applications, but it's documentation has never moved past explaining individual parts of technology, and into the field of how those should be put together in final application. Angular had millions of easily googleable tutorials like "this is best practice for setting page title when user enters the route" or "this is how you can configure framework to authenticate with your backend technology".

I also clearly remember the "calling set on destroyed object" error that happened when you tried to update the state of object that was already destroyed that was impossible to debug, because the error was literally "Error: calling set on destroyed object" and it put world to stop. For comparision, in React.js that was "Warning: calling setState with X, Y and Z on unmounted component ComponentName". That one error was absolute productivity killer when debugging Ember.js apps from day one, and it was years before somebody from Ember.js core actually went to Ember's source code and changed "assert !obj._is_destroyed 'calling set on destroyed object'" to "assert !obj._is_destroyed 'calling set on destroyed object'". There was always bigger fish to fry for Ember.js core team, who were so bussy making blogpost after blogpost of new great features or API changes happening, while being oblivious to comments below those same blogposts asking "can I now do partial updates on models because they are super costful to update?" or "is calling set on destroyed object fixed yet?". And then guys from their ambassador product, Discourse, started writing blog posts following the pattern of "Here's how we've replaced Ember.js's feature with our one because framework's didnt work", and those involved things like `Ember-Data` or Ember views.

Correct. But I think the main program is called Y Combinator and the whole is called YC Group, Sam Altman is the CEO of that.
Rust provides two methods for array indexing. `my_array[i]` which panics if `i` is out of bounds, and `my_array.get(i)` which returns `None` if `i` is out of bounds. The same thing applies to `HashMap` etc.

For the vast majority of cases, it is an non-recoverable logic error to try to access an out-of-bounds elements, so panicking makes sense for the more common, more terse `my_array[i]` syntax.

For me, recoverability dictates whether or not to return `Option<T>` or `T-but-maybe-panic`. If a caller can reasonably recover (and in fact expects to get `None` some of the time!), then `Option<T>` is the right choice. If it is obviously an irrecoverable logic error, then maybe panicking is the right choice.
From the latency, it looks like it doesn't cache. So it's literally transformative. If that matters, I don't know.

One of the all time greats. The scene in Amadeus where Mozart is on his deathbed composing and Salieri is acting as anamnesis is just an absolutely genius use of sound design.

I got to see Forman introduce some of his early films at a retrospective at Lincoln Center. Loves of a Blond and Firemans Ball and some experimental avant garde animated shorts. Very funny stuff if you can find it!

There is also a "making of" documentary about the filming of Amadeus in Prague that I think should be on youtube somewhere.

Because I've lived in so many places and different countries, there are a lot of people who I can only communicate with over Messenger. I usually use the purple-facebook and purple-hangouts plugins.

I never read status updates. I only update my status to promote my other blogs/websites.

I guess I could switch to sending international texts or ask people for their e-mails (which also means asking them to remove my e-mail from spam since I run my own e-mail server and Google/Microsoft don't really use DMARC/DKIM/SPF and always mark my stuff as spam), but messenger is just easier.

I think we'll only see people get rid of Facebook when there are better alternatives to connect on. Even then it's dumb to delete a Facebook account; just stop using it like people did with MySpace.
I can read all day about things (news, science, etc) but my brain does not easily recall humans by name alone. I need to see the face. And so for me and I assume I'm not alone - story books will never be meaningful. It requires too much mental energy to track.
The social security and medical costs are higher in veterans than in the general population and the number of veterans receiving state support is significant. This inflates the cost of social security and medical care relative to the defence budget.

That is really hard. My oldest was reading at roughly that spread, and finding books that were emotionally approriate but also engaging at his reading level was difficult. It took a long time for him to read Harry Potter because it was just too dark. It didn’t help that he’d tear through trilogies in a day or two. You might win once or twice, but a week later you're in the same boat again.
I don't understand your point. I read this as similar to libel or truth in advertising laws.
Similar to @s_kilk I tried ember years ago and while I liked some of their concepts, the hard learning curve and the oversized results made me search alternatives.

Anybody knows what size (js bundle file size) a basic PWA in ember.js has nowadays?

I am asking for file size here, as transmitting and parsing that data is usually what defers an instant user interaction.

Zalando: how to pass the interview
I don't think Ember's bad rap is due to its marketing image. First off, Ember long had a reputation for being less performant out of all frontend frameworks. It was mostly true for some time, but Ember is pretty fast these days.

More importantly, I think that frontend development still is influenced by its long history of "duct tape" coding practices resulting from JavaScript and CSS being very crippled for much of their existence. Thus, many JavaScript developers seem to prefer simple libraries that can do a lot with a little investment in configuration and composition.

Of course there's also the fact that Tilde is the most notable supporter of Ember, whereas Angular has Google and React has Facebook.

But some people, such as myself, like an opinionated toolchain such as Ember.

Take this copywriting, for example:

2011: "Forget Servers - Get up and running in minutes, and deploy instantly with git. Focus 100% on your code, and never think about servers, instances, or VMs again."

2018: "Deploy and run apps on today's most innovative Platform as a Service - Heroku is a cloud platform based on a managed container system, with integrated data services and a powerful ecosystem, for deploying and running modern apps. The Heroku developer experience is an app-centric approach for software delivery, integrated with today’s most popular developer tools and workflows."

Ask HN: How to avoid getting sucked in too deep by Node.js?

>>The instant an exception can be raised from an area in code is the instant you need to make that entire area into functionally-pure side-effect-free logic, so that you can reason about it even when the exception is raised.

Great insight. But i would say that explicit error handling doesn't help you much there. Side effects are hard and side effects can by nature normally not be reverted anyway. Deleted a file? Tough luck getting it back. IO and external interfaces could also be an issue, wrote 50% of a file to USB-stick when the user yanked it from the port? No amount of explicit error handling will help you remove it there.
And yet, the result of our regulatory system has been net positive to an extreme degree - you argument is trying to throw the baby out with the bath water. The very nature of political development in the western world has, for the last few centuries, been as much about how to put the "right" people and systems in positions of power. Let's continue to focus on that instead of giving up.

To use an analogy: if you love to travel the world but keep getting sick from preventable infectious diseases, the solution is to buy bottled water, mosquito repellent, and vaccinations, not stop traveling all together.
