It's even worse than it appears.
Welcome to the last day of August 2017. #
As predicted Allen Wirfs-Brock had some great stories to tell about the development of ES6. #
Help. I am addicted to buying interesting domain names. #
Today's Daily podcast gives a good overview of why the hurricane did so much damage in Houston. #
New Orleans existence was based on the assumption that the levees wouldn't break. They broke. What assumption is your existence based on?#
Quartz asked for ideas about how to cover the hurricane and its impact on Houston. Set up newsrooms in places where the victims are and let them write the news. Make sure their story gets through directly to people outside Houston. Their thoughts are potentially very interesting. I sometimes have to turn off the sound on TV accounts because the words are so insipid. Usually from paid reporters. But I watch because the images are so astonishing. #
I wrote a Frontier script that removes the robots.txt files in my S3 buckets. My automatic provisioning script for some reason I don't remember, turned off all robots in new buckets created in the last few years. There's no explanation and it makes no sense. #
Of course we're using Instant Dave to debug Instant Dave. #
