I don't think there's literally any conforming implementations of modern ECMAScript by that definition.

Google mostly does obey web standards that are set by an industry consortium (WHATWG, W3C, or in the case of JavaScript EMCA). Chrome has the best compliance with standards of any of the big three (see wpt.fyi) - which is not surprising, be

> And how many dependencies does Hono have? Zero. I'm guessing you're looking at the `devDependencies` in its package.json, but those are only used by the people building the project, not by people merely consuming it.

This is the approach taken by node's built-in argument parser util.parseArgs.

It also exposes a function which does type stripping (as `import { stripTypeScriptTypes } from 'node:module'`). This lets you build simple web apps (i.e., those with no frontend dependencies) as pure TypeScript, including the fron

The 7.2% number is already adjusted for inflation. Historically the stock market has gotten about 10% nominal return, 6.5-7% real.

As far as I'm aware none of those were ever supported in more than one engine (specifically Firefox) and so cannot reasonably be considered to have been part of JavaScript. JS really does make a point of not removing things. There are

It was neither a design choice nor a technical limitation. It was a big complicated thing which necessarily involved fiddly internal work and coordination between relatively isolated groups. It got done when someone (Joyee Cheung) actually

Kontext is probably better at this specific task, if that's what Mistral is using. Certainly faster and cheaper. But: OpenAI just yesterday added the ability to do higher fidelity image edits with their model [1], though I'm not s

That's not the last progress update. Most recent is https://github.com/tc39/notes/blob/d5b5db6969359fad11b6898b7... . Implementations are ongoing and open source, so you can contribute if you want it to c

The service worker jank, while conceptually hacky, is actually remarkably un-janky and not really noticeable to users! It's very much fire-and-forget unless you also wanted to have another service worker (in which case it's time f

For readability I'd recommend using DisposableStack instead of making an object, though either works: using disposer = new DisposableStack; disposer.defer(yourCallbackHere);

Yup, or to transfer them anywhere else. One use case is for classes which allocate resources in their constructor: class Connector { constructor() { using stack = new DisposableStack; // Foo a

by bakkoting 1y ago
For APIs which don't support this, you can still use `using` by using DisposableStack: using disposer = new DisposableStack; const resource = disposer.adopt(new Resource, r => r.close()); This is still simpler than try&

New models suddenly doing much better isn't really surprising, especially for this sort of test: going from 98% accuracy to 99% accuracy can easily be the difference between having 1 fatal reasoning error and having 0 fatal reasoning e

No, there are quite a lot of other edge cases. E.g. you also need them before backticks and in many places in class bodies.

JavaScript is being developed with the assumption that wasm will continue to exist. For example, JS is unlikely to get SIMD support because wasm can do SIMD in a cleaner way than JS can. (I am one of the people developing JavaScript.) Rathe

Note that the new disposable protocol in JavaScript is unrelated to garbage collection; it's more like Go's `defer`. The grandparent is talking about JavaScript's somewhat older FinalizationRegistry.

Enabling "compact mode" in the settings helps a lot with that. My discord client looks a lot like my IRC client.

Lots of things are logically timezone-unaware. E.g., I have an alarm that goes off at 6AM every day; it should do so whatever timezone I'm in. Or, some holiday happens on the 14th of the month, not for a specific 24-hour period in a sp
