What library are you using?

> We've been using similar architecture at Yahoo for many years now.

At all of Yahoo? I imagined such a big company would have a variety of front-end frameworks and patterns.

and instead of mountains and rivers and breathtaking scenery, it's featureless flat land.

I imagine almost everywhere in the world where something went from rural to metropolis there are stories like this, but the winners write the ending of the story, backed by the legions of people that profit with them.

This comment really helps illustrate how we are always reinventing the same tools in web development.

—Or a partner that bears an outlandishly lopsided portion of household and parenting work.

Also, instead of investing in and maintaining relationship with said partner, reserve the post bedtime time for your SaaS

resentment, burnout and/or divorce is galactically more likely than startup success, so do be sure that you’re the exception.

I think that with one kid and a partner its doable. With two kids my free time shrunk to 22:00 - midnight which might not be enough

I have young kids and usually find 2-3 hours to work on my own stuff in the evening after they’ve gone to bed. But I have to sacrifice all the other things people usually get to do in that time. Weekends are just for family.

That to. We shouldn't blame kids for "stealing" our time, it just happens to work out that way. Block out time... Sure and two minutes in: Dad, I got glue on my fingers.

This type of article is a little like a weight-loss program that tell you, in a roundabout way, that you just need to workout and eat healthy. All the advise is actually sound enough, but it's also something that most of us already know.

This would be pretty difficult, since at least some of the concepts of Grid (namely, anything involving calculation or auto-placement) are simply not supportable in old browsers.

The lede is that Gitter is going to natively federate with Matrix. The fact Element bought Gitter is there in the matrix blog post:

> In practice, the way this is happening is that Element (the company founded by the Matrix core team to fund Matrix development) is acquiring Gitter from GitLab.

I went through a phase of using pub sub with jquery + rivets + radio + underscore templates years ago. Two way data binding was a revelation for forms.

Then came vue which solved all of this in a clean way with a lot of other benefits to boot. I chose it over react because it can coexist relatively fine with old code, and with years worth of sites to maintain there's a fair amount of that.

My path was FrontEnd -> AngularJS -> Vue ; Personally I liked angular for the same reason I think people liked jQuery back in the day; it just made a bunch of previously annoying things easy to do--lots of helper methods, custom components, etc.--which let me develop things faster. Also all those utils had good docs, all in one place! Besides dev speed, it also managed complexity better by allowing me to organise things (which was a challenge before es6). Vue is less of a kitchen sink library, but it still makes it easier for me to avoid dealing with some things I don't want spend time on--binding, components, etc., and it also let's me manage complexity better through organising things with components. There aren't many projects I'd start without it; it just feels so much faster to develop if I'm working on a UI heavy app.

From adamwathan's article, Tailwind's advantage is it limits you to fewer choices. So .text-grey .text-grey-dark .text-grey-darker .text-grey-darkest... rather than coming up with and remembering the hex color values, which might vary between team members.

New comment by JTxt in "Show HN: BitMidi – Wayback machine for old-school MIDI files"

JTxt — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 11:13:11 +0000

Exactly I wanted to hear doom soundtrack music but "doom" did not work.

https://bitmidi.com/search?q=doom

I had to dig more to remember the level format and search for https://bitmidi.com/search?q=E1m4

Perhaps a crawler can find the identical file (checksum/md5) and collect meta data: alternate filenames, urls, zip archive names... It was next to this file in this list/zip archive... And in this sub folder name, on this page on this wayback machine link... So associations can be built automatically?

Also for each unique checksum with listed alternate file names, Perhaps user content: ratings, similar files, comments... A wiki like page where the automaticly generated meta data can be vetted... Oh and suggested sound font and other settings to play that particular file maybe.

Fun challenge!

BTW https://bitmidi.com/search?q=E1m1 crashes it for me.

It's cool you can drag a file on it to play. Except on mobile, so perhaps the ability to play from url.

Awesome work, thanks! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

I'm interested in finding ways to better organize the MIDI files. I'm curious how you figured out which category to put each MIDI file in on your website. Was that done manually by you?
