Symbol has other traits beyond just not being unique. Properties added via symbols are not iterated over in a for in and do not show up in calls to Object. getOwnPropertyNames()

JavaScript has a lot of complexity and little gotchas. I often compare the simplicity of Go with JavaScript and wish JS were more like that, but I still find myself enjoying JavaScript. I hope that "use strict"; evolves to further

True, the early period had a furious pace of updates. I guess I was referring to the era of ES6, that lasted a long time. I think Microsoft at one point actually said that IE6 was the final browser and they wouldn't release a new versi

Regarding your first question, it isn't necessary to define properties with that notation at all. You could just do: foo.foo = "bar"; But then it would be writable and configurable. Object.defineProperty(foo, &#x27

I don't know why, because I haven't thought through it enough yet but I really like the idea of freezing or protection in the case of a reactive data model like Backbone models. I'm thinking of maybe writing up some quick imp

I like that, but you'd still have to call a function to get the properties though and this wouldn't prevent anyone from accessing those properties directly. Like: obj.setFoo("bar"); obj.getFoo(); obj.foo = "

I wasn't aware that the Firefox nightly had Symbol, I will download Firefox nightly later and update the post, I should have Firefox nightly anyway. Thank you! Edit, tested and updated blog post. Thanks again.

I think the slow browser updates that existed prior to Chrome might have contributed to a lull in developing the language. Some of these features can't be fixed for old browsers with a polyfill, but now that updates are happening quick

I like that idea, but with Proxy you don't have to write the functions any more, you could just define that one get on the handler you feed into Proxy and then in your code you can access via the . notation, like: var obj = n

Is this data scraped via an API or something or are you managing it manually?

Assuming this is accurate, what I find especially interesting is that if you hover over each of these languages they all have a significant overlap with JavaScript. I think everyone of these languages widest band goes to JavaScript.

Considering that if you look closely at the screenshots and see that it is Erik himself commenting on products, so as to have a reason to notify users, no, not really. http://www.producthunt.com/posts/instant-chemistry

Erik, you even posted this spam almost verbatim on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8032837 I hope you're not going to continue to do that. I get you're hustling, but this isn't the right way to do th

It’s an interesting product but Erik Torenburg (self-described "Product Hunt Hustler" according to his Twitter profile) is not just a little bit of a Twitter spammer: https://twitter.com/ErikTorenberg/media H

Sure, but WhatsApp runs on phones that have a plan with a phone company. It'll just be that the cost is offset by cell phone providers shifting their voice and text revenue to data more than they already have.

One big set of features missing are the configuration options available in PyCharm. For example being able to configure Vagrant in PyCharm provides its own UI in the IDE settings. I have created a screenshot showing all the various PyCharm

This isn't the case actually. These plugins offer only a subset of the features of the various IDEs.

by btipling 12y ago
The plugins are not the same as the IDEs. For example PyCharm doesn't distinguish between project settings and IDE settings the way IntelliJ does. The UI for choosing your python version and virtualenv is baked right into the IDE setti

I've also started reading lobste.rs. It's what HN was about 2,000 days ago minus the startup news. It seems to be catching up to HN in terms of replacing it on my most visited sites new tab page.

We actually continued to work on the fork until it was clear Bram wouldn't be responsive to any more changes. Once it became clear he wouldn't accept the patch we stopped wasting more time as we are trying to create a viable busin
