How would a fork help you? Are you saying build off of it?

That won't get better until koa 2.x drops the @next flag (when async/await lands in node). But I've never run into an issue that was "insanely difficult".

What impedes readability here is that you don't simply have an async function `getProfiles({ userId })` that gives you a list of profiles, either taking a callback or returning a promise. A lot of that is pointless noise. You don'

Callback hell isn't the characteristic of having a callback-based API. It's the code you get when you try to compose it and conditionally fork it without any better abstractions. So promisifying a callback-based API does address i

In a capitalist dystopia, I'd agree with you. But everywhere else, you cannot live without impacting the lives of other people. For example, let's say you choose to eat unhealthy food, become obese, and land in the hospital. You m

But your code doesn't even handle the trivial case. "She said, \"Hello, world!\"" You can drop the "meh, I know I didn't handle all the complicated cases" act. We all recognize the classic

People don't sit on a plane randomly. Fat families sit together. And randomness is not an equal distribution. Also, cargo is lighter than the human payload. Most people aren't lugging around their body weight in luggage.

I had to take an IQ test when I was interviewing for ThoughtWorks. Then again, they also asked me about my cultural and religious views, like my thoughts on immigration and refugees. "I don't have strong feelings about this issue

SirCmpwn, you'll understand more about trade-offs when you finally have commercial success with one of your projects. It's too easy to lambast Electron and "lazy developers" when you've never had business concerns t

I'm not sure what your snippet is demonstrating, but it's not demonstrating message_id matchup. The client stores its own message_id -> callback mapping, it has to send some sort of reply id for the server or agree on some othe

Hard to take a "socket.io killer" seriously when it doesn't even implement bare necessities like message_id callbacks: socket.emit('msg', 'hello', (err) => ...) At which point the nice part of

Right, I meant in regards to this comment chain where "inline CSS is bad if you have an XSS vulnerability."

by always_good 10y ago
I still don't understand what it accomplishes. Why does inline matter? The vulnerability means they can inject arbitrary markup including <link> or <script> that load offsite sources. You can use CSP to whitelist allowed of

Yikes. If it's so hard for hosts to please you despite their efforts, then maybe you should start bringing your own dish to the dinner.

Yikes. Gotta wonder if the "Meet the Team" page on http://www.balderdash.io/ is up to date after reading that.
