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 of the paragraph. Thanks for pointing t

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 been mentioned by others. I did run this article by

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 which attempted this was Meteor.js, but it wa

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 Gmail as an important marker, everyone I talked to rememb

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 to worry about lifecycles, in the end.

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 recently merged an RFC to do just that.

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 working on Ember in order to understand the pros and cons of hook

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 specifically for this actually: https://github.com

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 most computed values, which means that every stack tr

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 incurs minimal cost until render occurs. We’ve found the ove

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/sub or observables/streams, it’s based on a pull-ba

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 features and then deprecations for many of the classic feature

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 pre-1.0.0, when it wasn't solidified at all.

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 their designs as stale). I agree that cookie cutte

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 so). There appear to be 3 predictions that average around 80

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 argue that with that amount of power, government necessarily has

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 to the poor and needy who cannot afford them as is. In fact,

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 as an overly complex JSON api that requires too much configur

Agreed, I'm all for nuclear power personally and that is a somewhat less logical position, but the irrational fear of nuclear power is more of a worldwide phenomenon than a German one. All I'm saying is I think comparing American

It's more than a knee jerk reaction though, there are a lot of reasons to speed up the switch to solar and renewables. Global warming may have been a catalyst, but it was going to happen eventually and they figured sooner rather than l

That's a ridiculous comparison, The fact of the matter is that those decisions are completely logical. Whether or not global warming is happening, we will run out of fossil fuels and fissionable material eventually. Solar is renewabl

For me it wasn't learning the terms, I didn't have an issue there. The problem was how limited Angular was in comparison to Ember, particularly the idea of directives. I actually spent a large amount of time on freenode discussing in the An
