That's a good point, definitely not what I meant there. I think in my first draft I actually just said "JavaScript widgets" and when I updated it to jQuery I didn't update the rest…

I actually have a friend who wrote in Dojo, so was aware of its existence, but had no idea it was so influential/early in the First Frameworks era. Same with GWT/Closure, as has be…

By "full-stack" here I mean frameworks which handle both the frontend and backend simultaneously, in a seamless way. The closest thing framework that I remember from the MVC/P era …

I am, indeed, too young to have accurate memories there! Of course right after I posted this I started hearing about GWT and Closure, that's a bit of egg on my face. I mentioned Gm…

When hooks first came out and I started playing with the API, I had the same feeling! It felt refreshing, but I couldn't quite nail down why. I don't think it's that you don't have…

I definitely agree with this! In large codebases especially. This is ultimately why Ember has decided to move toward using JS imports to stitch components together as well, we rece…

Hey there! Author here. I actually did work through all of the examples and am very familiar with all of the hooks, I have done a lot of in-depth research while designing and worki…

Definitely agreed. We’ve been focused on optimizing for end-to-end, realistic benchmarks. One of the Ember core team members, Kris Selden, has been working on a testing framework s…

A big part of Octane is reducing the amount of "magic" under the hood for a lot of features. For instance, autotracking and tracked properties now allow you to use plain JS for mos…

The underlying implementation is the largest difference. Where MobX relies on pub/sub and observables to propagate dirty state, Glimmer’s autotracking uses a lazy system that incur…

We definitely looked at MobX and Vue as we were designing the final user facing API! The implementation under the hood is pretty significantly different, ours is not based on pub/s…

This is actually going to be my next project, now that we’ve shipped Octane there’s a lot of code that we can slowly start to move away from! The plan is to move toward optional fe…

When and why did you fork Ember to get around it's opinions? I've been developing with Ember for 5 years now, and the only time I ever had to modify the source was with Ember Data …

Or because there are very good reasons to not have online voting, like vote buying and voter intimidation could become a thing again: 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_fra…

Design is fashion. It's trends. And personally, I really like the flat trend (though that's the modernist in me, I also enjoy Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe while many look at …

The Wiki article you link lists a variety of predictions on global peak uranium. The pessimistic ones, which are a minority, mostly predict that it has already happened (1980, or s…

> The problem is that too many people reach for government power as a first response instead of the last resort it should be. If we are reaching for government power, then we have …

If the government does not have power, someone else will. The governments power is meant to balance out the power of individuals, so that a few do not control society. I would argu…

If government were not as influential as you claim, there is absolutely no reason the wealthy would use the resources they buy power with to provide goods and services, especially …

Same. I feel that for apps that are mostly server-side, Rails and Django are the way to go, especially CRUD apps. In the quickly emerging client-side app market, they often serve a…

That's true for a lot of music, I will admit there is a huge amount of crap out there. But at the same time there is a growing amount of quality. Consider pretty much anything on t…

It is competition though. Competition directly for listening time, a person's attention. Every musician has there own pitch, there own style, with which they compete for a listener…
