Press Release:

Disney Conservation Fund Helps Bat Conservation International Support Wildlife and the Environment

[Austin, Texas, November 26, 2019] – Bat Conservation International (BCI) has been awarded a grant by the Disney Conservation Fund (DCF) to stop the rapid population decline of the endangered Mexican long-nosed bat in northern Mexico. As part of this work, BCI’s bi-national team of experts will lead a series of community-based conservation activities aimed at identifying, protecting, and restoring agave habitat – the key food source for this nectar feeding bat. By harnessing community support, this large-scale initiative will help save the Mexican long-nosed bat by establishing robust ‘nectar corridors’ that the bats can use during their annual migration from Central Mexico to the southwestern U.S.

The fund has been supporting local efforts around the world aimed at saving wildlife, inspiring action and protecting the planet with nearly $86 million distributed to nonprofit organizations since 1995.

Dr. Jon Flanders, Director, BCI’s Endangered Species Intervention Project explains the importance of this work: “This initiative builds on the success of previous work aimed at protecting important cave roosts for this endangered species of bat. Focusing our efforts on protecting and restoring agave habitat in northern Mexico marks a significant step in our conservation efforts to save this species from extinction, none of which would have been possible without the ongoing support of the Disney Conservation Fund.”

DCF grant recipients are selected based on their efforts to implement comprehensive community wildlife conservation programs, stabilize and increase populations of at-risk animals and engage communities in conservation in critical ecosystems around the world.

For information on Disney’s commitment to conserve nature and a complete list of grant recipients, visit www.disney.com/conservation.

Why you should learn Mobile Web Development

By webreflection.blogspot.com
Published On :: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 14:36:00 +0000

When I've decided to define 3 courses and levels, I had to include the Mobile Web Development one.
When I tell developers or random folks about such course, they ask me:
"why? come on, I know Web, how different could that be? what's the point?"

Yet Most Websites Still Fail

For instance, I've tried to book a flight yesterday from my Android 5 daily phone which is not even in developer mode and I use the default Chrome browser (I know, shocking, but you gotta test what real world users will see!).
You can see I couldn't do it via this video:

Not That Site Only!

I'm pretty sure they will fix this problem at speed light, and while same operation worked on an iOS based device, it's shocking even most popular or famous websites can fail that bad at very most basic tasks like scrolling!

Few developers still believe Mobile Web is about bringing in some Mobile library and that's it. The amount of different things happening there, different surfing paradigms, and different, really, everything, is the most under-estimated problem we have these days.

And the best part everyone is missing is that you don't need to add libraries on Mobile Web, most likely you need to drop them!

Do You Trust The App?

Every business is apparently laughing at HTML5 and Mobile, offering an App for something they cannot even make it work on a browser.
Apps, are privileged pieces of software so I ask you one thing: why do you trust apps when the easier to develop Web counterpart doesn't even work?

As Summary

You don't have to come to my courses if you think you don't need it, but if you don't test on mobile, you can also stop right now offering poor alternatives nobody cares 'cause nothing works there anyway.
But please, stop saying that HTML5 or the Mobile Web platform is the problem ... it's simply NOT!

ArchLinux UEFI and Dell XPS 2015

By webreflection.blogspot.com
Published On :: Fri, 31 Jul 2015 14:56:00 +0000

unrelated important thing first: I am blogging on my own website too, you can read my very first public entry in there!
I will keep posting here less web-centric related issues, or mostly rants, and will post there interesting stuff about HTML5, JavaScript, client/server and Mobile Web development ... now, back to the topic ...

archibold and my Dell XPS Developer Edition

So they changed my motherboard today, it suddenly stopped recognizing the Hard Drive, and even trying other drives didn't work at all.
Kudos to Dell for their assistance: the day after a person with already all necessary pieces arrived at my door and substituted the Motherboard with a very quiet and professional attitude.
... when I've asked assistance for a Lenovo Yoga Pro 3 they never even come back ...

If you've never heard about archibold, it's an installer which aim is to simplify ArchLinux and, optionally, GNOME configuration. Since I already backed up my Dell, and even if it was working like a charm, I've decided to erase it and see if I could make it work via UEFI.
Apparently this BIOS could be quite problematic and while efibootmgr seems to work without problems, it actually doesn't: it puts the EFI label into the list of Legacy boot-able devices so it won't work!

Not only the boot manager

If you have tried my installer before, I suggested to use UEFI=NO and enable Legacy mode on the bios. This was because not only I couldn't figure out how to install via UEFI, but I was using genfstab generated /etc/fstab during the installation and it was storing wrong UUIDs.

Finally Managed to install with UEFI boot!

The TL;DR story is that if you have an EFI partition created through gparted, and you have Syslinux on it, you should go in the part of the bios where you can add UEFI partitions manually, selecting syslinux/syslinux.efi file to boot from.

On Cancelable Promises

By webreflection.blogspot.com
Published On :: Thu, 03 Sep 2015 21:45:00 +0000

Update
The awesome Lie function got improved and became an official module (yet 30 lines of code thought). Its name is Dodgy, and it's tested and even more awesome!

Ifeverydevelopertalksaboutsimilarissues with Promises, maybe we should just drop our "religion" for an instant and meditate about it ...

Not today though, today is just fine

We've been demanding from JS and Web standards to give us lower level APIs and "cut the crap", but we can do even more than that: simply solve our own problems whenever we need, and "cut our own crap" by ourselves and for our own profit, instead of keep moaning without an outcome.
Today, after reading yet another rant about what's missing in current Promise specification, I've decided to write a very simple gist:


After so many discussions and bikeshead about this topic, I believe above gist simply packs in its simplicity all good and eventually bad intents from any voice of the chorus I've heard so far:
  1. if we are in charge of creating the Promise, we are the only one that could possibly make it abortable and only if we want to, it's an opt in rather than a default or a "boring to write" subclass
  2. it's widely agreed that cancellation should be rather synonymous of a rejection, there's no forever pending issue there, just a plain simple rejection
  3. one of the Promise strength is its private scope callback, which is inevitably the only place where defining abortability would make sense. Take a request, a timer, an event handler defined inside that callback, where else would you provide the ability to explicitly abort and cleanup the behavior if not there?
  4. being the callback the best pace to resolve, reject, and optionally to abort, that's also the very same place we want to be sure that if there was a reason to abort we can pass it along the rejection, so that we could simply ignore it in our optionally abort aware Promises, and yet drop out from any other in the chain whenever the rejection occurs or it's simply ignored
  5. the moment we make the promise malleable from the outer world through a p.abort() ability, is also the very same moment we could just decide to resolve, or fully fail the promise via p.resolve(value) or p.reject(error)
As example, and shown in the gist itself, this is how we could opt in: 

var p = new Lie(function (resolve, reject, onAbort) {
  var timeout = setTimeout(resolve, 1000, 'OK');
  // invoking onAbort will explicit our intent to opt-in
  onAbort(function () {
    clearTimeout(timeout);
    return 'aborted'; // will be used as rejected error
                      // it could even be undefined
                      // so it's easier to distinguish
                      // between real errors and aborts
  });
});
After that, we can p.abort() or try other resolve or reject options with that p instance and track it's faith: 

p.then(
  console.log.bind(console),
  console.warn.bind(console)
).catch(
  console.error.bind(console)
);
Cool, uh? We have full control as developers who created that promise, and we can rule it as much as we like when it's needed ... evil-laugh-meme-here

Cooperative code

In case you are wondering what's the main reason I've called it Lie in the first place, it's not because a rejected Promise can be considered a lie, simply because its behavior is not actually the one defined by default per each Promise.
Fair enough for the name I hope, the problem might appear when we'd like to ensure our special abortable, resolvable, rejectable own Promise, shouldn't be passed around as such. Here the infinite amount of logic needed in order to solve this problem once for all: 

var toTheOuterWorld = p.then(
  function (data) {return data},
  function (error) {return error}
);
// or even ...
var toTheOuterWorld = Promise.resolve(p);
That's absolutely it, really! The moment we'd like to pass our special Promise around and we don't want any other code to be able to mess with our abortability, we can simply pass a chained Promise, 'cause that's what every Promise is about: how cool is that? 

// abortable promise
var cancelable = new Lie(function (r, e, a) {
  var t = setTimeout(r, 5000, 'all good');
  a(function () { clearTimeout(t); });
});

// testing purpose, will it resolve or not?
setTimeout(cancelable.reject, 1000, 'nope');
// and what if we abort before?
setTimeout(cancelable.abort, 750);



// generic promise, let's log what happens
var derived = cancelable.then(
  function (result) { console.log('resolved', result); },
  function (error)  { error ?
    console.warn('rejected', error) :
    console.log('ignoring the .abort() call');
  }
).catch(
  function (error)  { console.error('cought', error); }
);

// being just a Promise, no method will be exposed
console.log(
  derived.resolve,
  derived.reject,
  derived.abort
);

Moaaar lies

If your hands are so dirty that you're trying to solve abort-ability down the chain, don't worry, I've got you covered! 

Lie.more = function more(lie) {
  function wrap(previous) {
    return function () {
      var l = previous.apply(lie, arguments);
      l.resolve = lie.resolve;  // optional bonus
      l.reject = lie.reject;    // optional bonus
      l.abort = lie.abort;
      return Lie.more(l);
    };
  }
  if (lie.abort) {
    lie.then = wrap(lie.then);
    lie.catch = wrap(lie.catch);
  }
  return lie;
};
We can now chain any lie we want and abort them at any point in time, how cool is that? 

var chainedLie = new Lie(function (res, rej, onAbort) {
  var t = setTimeout(res, 1000, 'OK');
  onAbort(function (why) {
    clearTimeout(t);
    return why;
  });
})
.then(
  console.log.bind(console),
  console.warn.bind(console)
)
.catch(
  console.error.bind(console)
);

// check this out
chainedLie.abort('because');
Good, if you need anything else you know where to find me ;-)
How to opt out from lies again? 

var justPromise = Promise.resolve(chainedLie);
OK then, we've really solved our day, isn't it?!

As Summary

Promises are by definition the returned or failed value from the future, and there's no room for any abort or manually resolved or rejected operation in there.
... and suddenly we remind ourselves we use software to solve our problems, not to create more, so if we can actually move on with this issue that doesn't really block anyone from creating the very same simple logic I've put in place in about 20 well indented standard lines, plus extra optional 16 for the chainable thingy ... so what are we complaining about or why do even call ourselves developers if we get stuck for such little effort?
Let's fell and be free and pick wisely our own footgun once we've understood how bad it could be, and let's try to never let some standard block our daily job: we are all hackers, after all, aren't we?
