More JS news from March I'm linking out to in the deck:
- Glimmer "announced"
- jQuery 3.2(.1)
- Ember 2.12 (2.13 Beta)
- Polymer 2.0 RC

Oh, the late night crunch to complete a slide deck... Currently putting together the past month's news and speaker slides for tomorrow's JavaScript meetup (Exchange.js) in Edmonton.

Any notable JavaScript releases/general news the past ~30 days that pops top of mind?

So far:
- StandardJS 10.0
- Angular 4.0
- Visual Studio Code 1.11

About risk profile:

- Mastodon is like email because you can't delete federated toots
- Mastodon is like twitter in that Google's search bots index it, unless your admins robot.txt it away
- Mastodon is like being a teenager because the people that own your instance can see all your private stuff

Have a talk with your admin about their policies.

By default, assume everyone will be able to read your toots forever.

Great idea from @HedgeMage

"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."

Hai! This idea of federation is pretty interesting. I'm interested to see the communities that emerge.

Late 1990's/early 2000's or so (for a few years) I ran an IRC server as part of a larger network, so I get the appeal of running smaller/niche instances.
