Interesting read, especially about the node event-loop which tries to mask it is single threaded by doing cooperative multi-tasking: [WayBack] The Way of the Gopher – Digg Data – Medium – Making the Switch from Node.js to Golang.

Wow, impressive work, and a very good explanation of some of the optimizations that take place and how you can check which ones work on your code: [WayBack] Why the New V8 is so Damn Fast – NodeSource:
The entire V8 compiler pipeline was overhauled and shipped with Node.js version 8. This post investigates what speed improvements we can expect as a result.

As a back-end person, sometimes I wondered about CDATA in front-end HTML code was for, especially in JavaScript and CSS style elements.
[WayBack] HTML vs. XHTML – WHATWG Wiki explains how to be compatible with XHTML, HTML, XML based tools and older browsers:
The following code with escaping can ensure script and style elements will work in both XHTML and HTML, including older browsers.
In both cases, XML ignores the first comment and then uses the
CDATAsection to avoid the need for escaping special characters<and&within the rest of the contents (with subsequent JavaScript comments added within to ensure the HTML-oriented code is ignored by JavaScript).In HTML, older browsers might display the content without the content being within a comment, so comments are used to hide this from them (while modern HTML browsers will run code inside the comments). The subsequent JavaScript comment is added to negate the text added for the sake of XHTML.
The
<style>requires the/**/comments since CSS does not support the single line ones.<!----> ... //--><style type="text/css"><!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/ ... /*]]>*/--></style>If not concerned about much older browsers (from which one is hiding the HTML) one can use the simpler:
//<style>/*<![CDATA[*/ /*]]>*/</style>Also note that the sequence “
]]>” is not allowed within aCDATAsection, so it cannot be used in true XHTML-embedded JavaScript without escaping.

Using OpenSuSE Tumbleweed E20 on Raspberry Pi 3: accessing the enlightenment desktop over VNC after automatic logon I wanted to buy an on-line read-only diary to help my mentally retarded brother see what his next few days are going to be like.
He increasingly has difficulty handling a paper agenda and has an agenda with 30 minute blocks like [Archive.is] bol.com | Bureau Agenda 2017 – 1 dag per Pagina | 0041560163422 | Boeken (and the [Archive.is] picture on the right), but actually he needs 15 minute blocks during some portions of the day.
We call that kind “bureau agenda” which I think translates well into “desk diary”.
They were quite different from the agendas I used to have at school (:
[WayBack] [Zonder titel] Rijam agenda 1983/84 verzamelen? Stripcatalogus op Catawiki
For most school mates, they were more like this:
Had je een O’Neill of ging je voor De Familie Doorzon? De oude agenda’s uit je middelbare schooltijd zijn de verpersoonlijking van je eigen puber-ik. Afgelopen weekend startte in het Nationaal Onderwijsmuseum in Dordrecht de toffe tentoonstelling Grow Up over die vuistdikke, volgeplakte agenda’s.
Anyway, some ideas I initially had are below.
This is what I actually did:
iframe as per [Archive.is] Boyden, Mark – Embedding Google Calendars – Programming – Content andiframe heights as when you specify 100% it will shrink to the height of the content. For full screen height, the 100vh (ViewportHeight) seems to do the trick as per [WayBack] javascript – Full-screen iframe with a height of 100% – Stack Overflow and [WayBack] CSS Values and Units Module Level 3: Viewport-percentage lengths: the vw, vh, vmin, vmax unitsTwo things for the future:

[WayBack] About Blocks – bl.ocks.org is so cool:
Bl.ocks (pronounced “Blocks”) is a simple viewer for sharing code examples hosted on GitHub Gist.
…
The main source for your example is in
index.html. This file can contain relative links to other files in your Gist, such as images, scripts or stylesheets. And of course you can use absolute links, such as CDN-hosted D3, jQuery or Leaflet. To explain your example, add aREADME.mdwritten in Markdown. (You can omit theindex.htmlif you just want to write, too.)
[WayBack] Code-only-Blocks are cool too:
When your Gist is missing an
index.htmlfile, will hide the example iframe but continue to display everything else.
Just compare these:

tl;dr: Finding event handlers registered using jQuery can be tricky. findHandlersJS makes finding them easy, all you need is the event type and a jQuery selector for the elements where the events might originate.
I need to invest some time in using this: [WayBack] Quickly finding and debugging jQuery event handlers with findHandlersJS – The Blinking Caret

Very often, I see people ask for how to embed multi-line strings in a Delphi source file.
The short answer is: you can’t.
The long answer is: you can’t and if you want you have to hack your way around.
The answer should be: just like any of these languages that do support multiline strings:
Many languages support this through a feature called HEREDOC.
Now in Delphi and other languages like Java are building ugly workarounds like for instance this one: [WayBack] RAD Studio Tip: Using resource scripts to organize project dependencies. – Chapman World.
