Thanks for your insight :)

You mean the ex culture secretary? With no experience of healthcare, finance, or anything else that the job entails? Crazy. The only thing more ridiculous is having a Chancellor with no real world business or financial experience who is known to dodge tax... oh... and now Editors a Newspaper.

I would rather be slaughtered than vote for Conservative, but I have to say, the NHS is already dead.

1. My nephew is 15 months old, sick and has to take tablet form which is almost impossible. The liquid one is beyond the budget.

2. My mum is having big problems with her knee due to arthritis, it has been going on for 4 years, and all they do is treat the pain. So now she is on boxes of Tramadol, and this is creating all kinds of new problems.

3. My father in law has a poor heart and he has medication but what they have given him creates a list of side effects so long that he visits the GP atleast once a week. If he cuts himself, he is in Hospital. However, there are alternatives, but beyond the budget to be prescribed to him.

This is my only experiences with the NHS and I don't think it is fit for purpose.

The desire of the common person to scream "PROTECT OUR NHS" is feeding into the problems. Now they are even paying Recruitment Agencies huge sums of money to find people remotely qualified, and they are absolutely raking in the cash (I know someone off to Miami with work in August as a perk holiday for working the NHS account).

Is it really that simple though?

These Web Components are still Objects in the sense that you may have 1000 classes or 1000 web components.

Composition doesn't magically exist. I am expecting a "Web Components Framework" soon.

If I have misunderstood, then how?

Edit - I mean that, if you talk about the declarative nature of markup, you are going to end up with 14 layers, layer 0 is going to have some piece of data which layer 11 needs or some choice here, level 6 needs. Like a real application, it isn't often trivial, multiply this 1000 times. How are you going to deal with that? JavaScript?

I see what Angular solved, and dependency injection alone, if you have to deal with that personally, it gets really difficult. I also see where Web Components naturally fit such as:

1. I had a widget quiz which was an iframe and it was brittle. Perfect <my-quiz> component.

2. I had an IFrame inside of an Application but that required data sent over the boundary and back. It was outrageous and again, those IFrames could have been ideally web components.

There are other cases like this that I understand, but "Component all the things" doesn't seem like a particularly helpful pattern.

Again, I almost certainly misunderstand but I am investing in Polymer and I don't get it :/

I can't believe how much I am enjoying seeing engineers speaking in regular chat about such large projects. I thoroughly enjoyed this thread. Appreciate the sharing.

"which also brings everyone together during lunch time"

Fuck that. I am out of there for some air, a walk and peace.

CSS is hideous. Do what you want with it. Anyone claiming CSS has a "best practice" is deluded.

Me too! It look's really pretty at sunset.

Thank you, in Scotland beside the Forth Road Bridge they are building the same kind of bridge and I wondered why all of a sudden, this was the go to bridge.

I like when Gove, the guy who in 2015's Flagship Policy was to increase the "times table". After he was laughed out of office, he was moved into "Law and Justice". So now he is peddling similar completely irrelevant bullshit over on that side of the fence.

Meanwhile, Hunt, the culture secretary for the Olympics did such a great job that he is now the Health Secretary.

I would rather get a 1% tax increase, and pay for real people, a real NHS manager with 50 years, and pay him for his insight than pay these fucking plebs to poke around in their careers.

I find it odd that in the 60s it was deemed affordable, but during the 2 decades of boomer super cycle, the female migration to the workforce, and spending money now which our grandchildrens grandchildren will be repaying... we could ill afford it.

I have long preferred this suggestion. I know it is a bit creepy, but ultimately given the parameters, there is one optimal result. You know things are frustrating when you prefer the machine to your representatives.

It is just such utter bullshit. "fight on terrorism". This is why I just don't do political news. No one reports on "huh fight on terrorism you say, can we shine some light on this claim? How useful has Twitter been to home security...". Why isn't that the story?

I keep seeing stories build on just bullshit. The BBC will say "And what about housing Mrs May" and she will say "My government has created a white paper...... and councils are pissed about planning permission....."

There is no answer. Over and over and over again. There is no point in the BBC reporter existing, no point in anyone's time being wasted. Just report nothing.

Giving Governments access to public data has totally changed the dynamics of politics and the public is losing everything as a result.

Government just fabricates an internal memo leak, waits 12 hours to get some data back on public opinion and then depending on that, will deny it, or will go ahead.

Time and time again you see this. Our old Chancellor had no experience with finance, and during his term, it was found that he had dodged tax.... the day after he had given a statement that he was serious about tax evasion. Then, something about an old Veteran having cake was the main story that day across the whole media board. Forgotten.

David Cameron said one evening after a COBRA meeting "Lets send dogs, and fences to Calais to stop the swarm of immigrants" - That got bad data results, so by 6am the next morning he adapted it to "We will take 10000 and send aid". By 9am, it was all forgotten.

What is happening?? Where is reality?? Is no one responsible for anything any more?? Is this a result of the fragmentation of media outlets?? Like, I grew up with 4 channels. Now I don't want TV. Therefor there is no cross reference at all. You can say what you want and like 10% of the populace will hear it. That means government has never had it so easy.

409 grains of sugar please or I am going elsewhere.... Actually....

I didn't know about that (the pods bit!), thanks for the link.

I would like to see little leased pod cars which trundle around at the local speed within a certain range, and have the ability to go to a Bus Lane (I presume the bus is dead), and join a Magnetic Track of sort where they go 200 miles an hour.

That would be pretty amazing. Why they are sticking shit all over 2 ton vehicles? If they are solving Fuel and Emissions and Driver, can't they just take the final step of a revolution? I am pretty sure governments would be throwing notes at it.

Not at all, I was genuinely curious. Thanks for the detailed response, I understand what you were getting at.

I am not using Java but I am right now making a booking system. I am storing local time (with Offset) and the timezone identifier such as "Europe/London".

How does using Day Count help?

Ps I have hit the "iframe boundary". My work is renderers and angular. I want to wrap my individual shits as stanalone elements yet still part of an overall system

Just incase there isn't already enough other links. This one is for the US / UK / Czech Republic

I liked the style.

Fair-weather is a bit harsh. they have been in the union for 300 years and now even if all of Scotland voted for one party, they would be automatically overridden by London alone. The rich in London have no need of change, the standard person on the street disagrees.

He is welcome not to rent out his home. It isn't up to me to get the violins out.

Where do you guys get a job without any time constraints? Also were you born with all knowledge? You are saying for example that the booking system you made in 2009, which was the first time you ever "programmed time" is pretty much perfect? (change the example to shaders, or physics, or your first Node back end blah blah). I am calling Bullshit.

Amazing, I can actually see it I think! Thanks

It isn't really a problem because Scotland will keep the pound, and very little will change in that regard.

As a student a dude in Liverpool was selling 50 for £10. A guy I knew lived on them for 3 years. His life revolved around 99p stuff.

CSS is a bloody disgrace. A hideous abomination. Is there any word on the street, any alternatives coming down the road?

I just got this hooked up to firebase last week, amazing!

(They don't understand TypeScript. The argument is as stale as the 0.8 release)
