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

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

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!

A Simplified EU Cookie Law Approach

Update
Thanks for everyone starring the repo, cookies-monster made it to cdnjs!


I've already talked about the EU cookie law, but moaning about it won't solve the issue. Until common sense and competence will reach European politics so that this law can be erased, we should provide some info to our users.

Not Another Library

There are already few solutions that require a manual or libraries plugins that will cost much bandwidth.
I've decided to use my "special vanilla powers" and go lightweight for real: 578 bytes once "minzipped".
There is absolutely nothing else to do than just including the script. Zero config, drop in and go.

You Are Free To Text & Style

There's no predefined template, there's no predefined style, unless you'd like to use the same I've used for the following page:



You are in charge of the message to show, and you could put an optional link or a button in it with the class cookies-monster-accepted.
If the script will find such button, it will configure it as explicit call to action and once such link/button has been clicked, it will set a cookie that will expire in a year, and it will add the class hidden to the main container which should have a cookies-monster id.
Following an example of the most basic layout.

<div id="cookies-monster" class="hidden">
This sites uses cookies. <a
class="cookies-monster-accepted"
href="#cookies-monster"
>Accept</a>
</div>

Nothing else ... really

Since you are in charge of pretty much everything, you know what to write on your banner, with the needed language, and with any extra link or option you want. Just stick the script in and you are ready to go!

What would be awesome though, is some star to its repo, even if you have your own solution, so that we can move the script in cdn.js and forget once for all about this problem.

Thank You for reading and contributing!

Object.assign Side Effects and How To Copy

In How To Copy Objects post I'll explain the difference between various native ways to copy own keys and properties, describing also the fact that Object.assign is full of surprises and side effects.

As example, assigning to an object something like {get next() {return ++this.i}, i:0} instead of {i:0, get next() {return ++this.i}} will result in different values copied over: next === 1 and i === 1 in the first case, next === 1 and i === 0 in the second one.

JS Glossary On Demand: Now Paperback!

Imagine you are trying to learn something about Art and images are split between different pages ... that's what I feel every time I read a technical book with code examples split and very hard to follow.
It's embarrassing how much work it takes to have a proper pagination that never breaks for both paragraphs and code examples but I've finally did it in here!
The Leanpub E-Book, specially the PDF version, is also well formatted but it's for US letter.
I've ordered a proof of copy for both formats but there's no competition: the Lulu.com A5 paperback version is too handy and kinda cute!

Meanwhile ...

I know most followers still have this RSS feed subscription, and they might have missed some of the later updates so here a recap:

  • I've brough Markdown easiness to JS console, it lets you write better logs such console.log('this *is* #green(awesome)!')
  • I've explained how to manage states and diff them, or perform other common operations, through prototypal inheritance. This concept works so well, Netflix reduced its merging performance from 500ms to 60ms.
  • I've talked about my new VR ready, game-centric PC that made me very happy in on a budget as low (for a gaming PC) as £600
  • I've also used latest archibold.io installer to bring Arch Linux from scratch on such PC, and on VirtualBox too for a spin
  • I've finally uninstalled Here Maps from my phone, and discovered the same day the awesome maps.me which is already a great replacement
  • last, but not least, I've created a 100 LOC utility that lets you opt out Babel class transformation, using object literals to define actually native ES2015 classes. The reason is here, while the utility is on GitHub.
Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, I've soldered together a Raspberry Pi Zero and a WaveShare 3.5" Touch Screen LCD, booting Web Kiosk in seconds, for a device that could be sold with the size of an i-clip and with battery and wifi included for like $35, but nobody gave a damn heck about it so my Kickstarter won't even be proposed.
P.S. I am using Medium more and more, follow me there too (at least until Medium lasts)
