Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers: 100 YEARS AGO: "Wilson Blocks Daylight Saving Appeal," The Evening World, July 12, 1919

Daylight saving time went into effect in the United States on March 31, 1918 during World War I as part of the war effort and many thought it would end when the war ended. Farmers across the country petitioned to end national daylight saving time in 1919 but President Wilson vetoed the repeal stating it “would be of very grave inconvenience to the country.” He would go on to reject the bill a second time on August 15, 1919.

CHUCK: For the people who don’t know who you are, you want to introduce yourself, Noel? NOEL:  Sure. I currently work in training and talent development for Groupon.

I need to spell that out, right? N-o-e-l-r-a-p-p-i-n.com CHUCK: So I’m little curious, before we get into the topic which is learning and teaching JavaScript, how did you get into writing a book about JavaScript? What’s your background there? NOEL: You know, it actually relates to teaching and learning JavaScript. I think, I was like… a lot of long time web devs. I spent my first round as a web consultant in around, turn of the century 2000’s. I spent time trying to talk clients out of JavaScript stuff because it was such a pain in the neck. And I kind of got away from it for awhile and came back a couple of years ago to realize that basically, everything had changed and they were actually usable tools now. And last summer, I was working with a… at that time,

If you need stunning UI elements or awesome graphs and charts, then go to WidgeMo.com and check them out.] CHUCK:  Hey everybody and welcome to Episode 41 of the JavaScript Jabbers show. I almost said Ruby Rogues. How tired am I? JAMISON:  Don't cheat on us, Chuck. CHUCK:  It's right after Christmas. JAMISON:  We know you have another family but we love you when we have you. CHUCK:  Oh, my gosh! Yeah, we had family here for two days and my wife panics when people are coming over and has to have the house immaculate. And then she kept getting tired or sick or having some other issues. So, I kept forcing her to go to bed and then staying up until 2:00 AM, cleaning the house. So, I’m totally worn out. Anyway, so this is JavaScript Jabber, it's not Ruby Rogues. If you want Ruby Rogues, go to RubyRogues.com and see what we were talking about over there. Last week, we talked about conferences and I know that AJ wanted to say something. I guess we usually do the introductions first. So, let's do that and then let AJ say his piece and then we’ll move onto our topic for today. So, this week on our panel, we have Jamison Dance. JAMISON:  Hi, guys! Merry Belated Christmas. CHUCK:  We have AJ O'Neil. AJ:  Yo! Yo! Yo!  Coming at you from the green Christmasphere of Virginia. CHUCK:  Oh, you're in Virginia? AJ:  Yes, I am. Visiting family. CHUCK:  Cool. And I'm Charles Max Wood from DevChat.tv. I just want to put a quick plug in for my Rails course. If you want to learn Ruby on Rails, go to RailsRampUp.com. It's kind of a guided course and you get a lot of access to me to learn it. So AJ, what was it that you wanted to chime in with, with the conferences that we couldn't get you in last week to say? AJ:  Okay. So, both Merrick and myself have had this same experience. So, we were talking about having the broad conference versus the focused conference, the broad talk or workshop versus the more focused one. And we both have come to the conclusions that having it more focused is better. With the conference, it's fun to go to a broad conference but even in that, like it’s nice to have the focused talks like the ‘Utah Open Source Conference’ which this year is ‘Open West Conference’. It's expanding out and they've got some big surprise. I'm guessing they got some nice speakers. And the call for papers for that opens on January 2nd supposedly. So, that's a really nice conference but it's broad but it’s still fun.

CHUCK:  I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And we have a special guest and that is Jake Archibald. JAKE:  Hello. CHUCK:  Jake, do you want to introduce yourself for the folks who haven’t heard of you before? JAKE:  Sure thing. I work on the Google Chrome team as part of DevRel. What I’m doing there is a combination of speaking at conferences about particular stuff. I got to do a lot in performance at the moment, but I also do a lot of standards work where I’ve done a lot with an alternative to application cache, which we’ll be talking about, but also looking at things like script loading and some of the resource priority stuff. CHUCK:  Cool. So it sounds like you’re smart on a number of levels then. JAKE:  Or dumb at all. [Chuckles] I can only see what I work on. I don’t know if I’m any good at it. [Chuckles] CHUCK:  So we brought you on to talk about the application cache. I’m not completely sure I know what is totally involved there. Is it just the cache like you clear the browser cache cache or is it something else? JAKE:  Well. the aim for the application cache was to let you make a site that works offline. So we’ve got the http cache and that works, in a manner of speaking. But if you have, say a website where you’ve cached your JavaScript, you’ve cached your CSS. You’ve cached your html page and some images. That’s great, but the user will visit another website and the browser will go and delete the CSS file from your site from the cache just to make room for the stuff from this other site. That means that if we were just going to use the http cache for making things work offline, people go to your site, your html’s there, your images are there, your JavaScript’s there, but your CSS is not and that’s going to break your site.
