I got the exact same email but substitute IFTTT for Gmvault, which I use to make backups of my emails.

As a company we’ve been experimenting with xstate for about a year. Generally speaking, bug counts go down as a direct result. We’re at a point now that it’s part of our process — a key deliverable as part of our first phase of development is what we call a “navigational statechart” which informs the development of the wireframes. The beauty of this process is that we can take that same statechart directly into the later development stages.

We’ve been doing:

  const classNames = [
    “btn”,
    this.props.isSelected && “btn-selected”
  ].filter(Boolean).join(“ “)

The author positions his pitch about being all about the product and the value the customer sees in it, when I think a large portion of the potential client's decision to pay 35k is based on this guy's ability to actually bring it to market. If the potential client has no idea who you are, I think it'd be crazy difficult to sell them on a 35k "idea". They'll need to get to know you, and the author doesn't really touch on that point.

I should clarify he does have a bank account (with his own Interac card) but no way to access it online. This is with TD Canada Trust. I don't imagine it's much different across other Canadian banks.

Edit: sorry, to actually answer your question, yeah they still have those -- they just call it Youth Account at TD

With my 6 (almost 7) year old I've been giving him 2% daily interest on whatever is in his chequing account. He's aware I'll scale it back when it gets out of hand :) But so far he spends enough on nerf equipment that it hasn't posed a problem yet! Now he wants to keep more of his money in the bank to see it grow, and I didn't have to say that specifically, which was the entire point.

A rule I did have to institute later though is that if he forgets to ask for his interest that evening, he doesn't get paid.

We also have to rely on his last bank receipt to calculate the amount owed because it appears impossible (at least here in Canada) to open an online account for a child his age.

I ended up removing instances of try catch and also setTimeout 0 (or equivalent nextTick) in the promise library I use. Those two things caused me enough grief on several occasions to force my hand and modify the library's implementation. The setTimeout one especially baffled me... The straw that broke the camel's back for me was how it broke IndexedDB transactions

I'm holding out for Vasalgel. It was featured a while back in Wired and I've been following it since: http://www.parsemusfoundation.org/vasalgel-home/

That being said, I'm glad more options are being explored.

I've used Meteor for a frontend project (websockets using wamp.ws talking to a hardware box, local databases being websql and indexeddb). Meteor is a build toolchain (minify etc) and a collection of packages, each providing a feature that you can (usually) opt in/out of. Seen this way, Meteor can be used in all sorts of ways, beyond the perceived server & client mongo-only implementation.

I think xs.map(Math.floor) takes the cake if I recall speed tests properly

Upgrading now just to try this! (Now to get past "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found" on boot... I should have waited for the weekend to update to a beta release!)
