That does, in fact, appear to be a nearly textbook example of JavaScript object destructuring. See the Mozilla Developer reference site[0], specifically the "Unpacking fields from objects passed as a function parameter" section. (

My favorite example of that kind of code reuse can be seen in the 3/4 perspective views in Sunsoft's Fester's Quest (most of the game) and Blaster Master (the extra-vehicular room explorations)

I'd also like to call out the S&C Plastics[0] "company", especially around this time of year[1] :-D [0] https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/the-s-c-plastics-hub [1] https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/bla

Thank you! I've been wondering why that number instead of, er, other numbers since I first discovered the stories earlier this year! ^_^;

Have you also been able to adjust their salaries accordingly? My interpretation is that rather than saying, "don't promote internally from IC to Lead" GP is saying "here are some pitfalls with that approach" and su

It is my understanding that the latest executive orders do require vaccination of US federal employees and contractors; other employers may offer weekly testing as an alternative. So I believe that, if you are a federal employee or contr

To be fair to the operating systems out there, GUIs are part of the program, not part of the operating system. If a menu is unresponsive it is far more likely that the writers of the software messed up and put some heavy lifting on their ev

One more point of anecdata: I've been with my current employer for just over 14 years, and I've worked on probably about that many different projects--generally two or three at the same time--in a variety of roles and with a varie

Not necessarily. I think it is probably best, for example, that my microwave is not also a calendar.

Yes, this! I've been doing software development as a job in some form or other for nearly 20 years, and I finally feel like I've really started to get the hang of it over the last couple of years ~wry grin~

At the risk of oversimplifying, is there any value in the analogy, "It's like RAID but for data streams"?

I'd guess the news cycle, and the increasingly over-the-top antics, political and otherwise, that it seems to spawn.

I believe they were intended to be two separate axes: stupid<->clever and lazy<->industrious. This lends itself to the four quadrants referenced in the quote: clever-industrious , stupid-lazy , clever-lazy , and the infamous

Serious question: Is there a way to use a Python REPL with multiple long-running asyncio tasks, some of which need a turn to run every X seconds?

by Tcepsa 6y ago
TL;DR -- Possibly it has to do with the style that I use, but those things doesn't actually happen to me very often, and when they do it's not a big deal. For me, the benefits of REPL-driven-development far outweigh occasionall

I know it's not in keeping with the definition provided, but I like to interpret hubris in that context as "Believing that they are capable of writing software that is compatible with the second virtue, and that they can write it

Oooo, neat! Thanks for pointing this out, I'll have to look into it. Many of my struggles have also revolved around the ecosystem (pulling in and/or keeping up to date with modules that other teams have written, etc.) so I'

My favorite language has been Clojure for a long time, but given Python's popularity and widespread use I often wonder whether there is just some big underlying principle that would cause Python's appeal and superiority become cle

Such a thing might finally get me to switch away from Emacs for coding!

Consider trying Emacs 27.1 with the Jansson library to help with JSON parsing if you're using an LSP-based approach in Emacs. (Apparently one of the reasons that it's sluggish is because the comms between Emacs and the correspond

In addition to the recommendations for Powered by the Apocalypse games (specifically Monster of the Week ) I'd also encourage you to look into the FATE system, especially FATE: Accelerated Edition [0] and its SRD [1]. It's

This is a shitpost and/or copypasta, right? Maybe it's intended as a "Ha, look at the ridiculous sorts of FUD that folks posted about this stuff back in the day" but its tone is earnest enough--even with tons of obvious

It's not just Figma; a project that I'm on has been having basically the same challenges with Sketch/Sympli, and Axure before that. Breaking it into two separate "wireframe" and "mockup" steps has helped,

There's also a risk-to-brand incentive for these console companies to control who gets to publish what games. If you make a console and then the games for your console suffer from quality control issues or are otherwise inconsistent w

Being in the SCA (though mostly peripherally) and having several friends in the SCA, I think it's safe to say that "it's all about sex" is too broad a generalization. Certainly that is an aspect of it for some people, b

Not saying there weren't false starts, but your example of eliminate() is actually a fairly common idiom[0] where, when a function is testing things for "truthiness" or "falsiness", it will return the truthy or fals
