But JS isn't aspiring to be a functional language, it's adding new syntax and changing itself to better solve the problems that it is currently being used to solve. Some of that is pushing it in a functional direction, some in a &

I'm honestly not sure, but even taken in isolation it's a convincing argument to me. See [0] for some info straight from the proposal, but the gist is doing it this way makes it so that you never have to worry about name collision

I really recommend you read over the FAQ that is in the proposal at [0], it answers most of your questions. The problem is that it seems a "private by convention" system isn't private enough for many library authors, who are

I use this website/app which is very well maintained, and even includes an API if you want to use it! https://spacelaunchnow.me/ It includes locations, payload information, launch company and rocket, links to livestrea

as of right now, `example.#myVar` isn't valid syntax, which is the reason that the # sigil was chosen. It's not possible to have current code that works like that, so defining new properties for that code (that it can only be used

If `example.myVar = 500` can throw errors, then is the private field really private? Since now it's existence can break the public interface, and changing it to `myOtherVar` during a refactor can break existing code. That removes a maj

As others have said, npm has ways of marking a package version as deprecated and npm also has scoped packages. So if you wanted to stop maintaining your very own `right_pad`, you could mark it as deprecated so devs installing it get a warni

My apologies! I was on mobile when I read it last night and the RFC links don't seem to go directly to the comment on my android device for some reason! (it loads the full list of comments, but never takes me to the correct one, and se

Could something like this be used to move the "linting" that the react team recommends directly into react itself? If you can abuse error stack traces to get the call stack, and some trickery to get the string representation of th

One cool thing that yarn provides (npm might as well, but I'm not sure) is the ability to replace a transitive package with a specific version against what it wants, or even replace it with your own. I'm on mobile but I believe th

I actually think there is room here for an upgrade "helper" or wrapper (yeah I know, I'm gonna try to solve npm package problems by making a new npm package!) Something that can allow you to delay most updates by a set amount

I mean right at the top of the page is a single switch that lets you turn off all targeted advertising if that's what you want. But personally I like targeted advertising. Ads let me use services for no monetary payment while still p

Unfortunately being annoying and working aren't mutually exclusive. And if that is really the case, then I'd argue it's on ad networks like Google and Facebook to find a way to realign incentives here so that what works best

I know it's not ideal, but if you go to the below URLs for Google and Facebook respectively, you can choose which categories you get ads about, and can even specifically "turn off" some categories of ads for you (it looks lik

by Klathmon 8y ago
But every ad network ive ever worked with already allows you to define categories of people you specifically don't want to show your ads to. It's on the shopders of the ad creator to set that up though. I did read a comment one ti

I'm going to start sounding like I work for them, but Google already allows you to disable targeted advertising entirely, and Facebook at least let's you disable targeting for the vast majority of things (the major exceptions bein

Google at least let's you specifically go into ad settings and check/uncheck specific categories of things that you get ads about (that's an oversimplification of the process behind it). I'm not sure how but one time I s

This is probably going to get a bit "rant-ey", it's not directed at you, but at the ecosystem at large (and kind of at myself). Everyone keeps saying this, but nobody is actually doing anything about it. People (myself includ

There's room for both ideas. This one has the benefit of being stupid simple to implement and maintain. In 10 minutes I can throw this together for all of our login stuff. But a fully automated password changing system/API? That&#

Similar story here. I work remotely, and my previous employer wanted me to come up to the office for a few days as we did every now and then. But I didn't really want to go this time, I had other obligations, but ended up going anyway.

This is such a great way of making access to the law more open and welcoming, which is a great thing to me! I haven't been able to check yet, but does anyone know if you are allowed to use this process to propose new laws or clarificat
