Thats a little hyperbole. I "support" it in that its an easy way for someone to make a typical web application without having to know the details of call vs apply, arguments, prototypes, etc, or writing a lot of boilerplate. So

I guess I don't understand. There's a lot of ways to accomplish tasks in any programming language but in JS in particular there's a way to assign the value of this and you can use it to have clean, dry code, and I'd exp

Fairly often. Since the selected DOM element is the value of this in any event handler callback, you can migrate out the function and use it for different things (i.e. validation of, say, autofill after a settimeout) and different contexts

Without asking technical questions, how would an interviewer weed out the people who say the former but can't actually back it up? Because if the above is the entire hiring process, your junior developers aren't going to have to

While there's definitely a lot of useless trivia (worse, useless trivia from 5+ years ago that no longer applies at all) in this list, the good parts of these questions _are the job_. If you don't know how to answer the relevant

Call and apply are core concepts to writing good javascript. I would not hire someone (at least for any sort of senior role) that could not tell you exactly how both of them work. Many of the other things on this page are certainly "

Its almost never in your (an employee/interviewee) best interest to disclose that. You are essentially saying "here is the minimum I will work for" (and that's usually what you'll get) - let them try to figure that

huh? I think there's a lot of interesting (relatively) conversation that can come from fizzbuzz. The whole "is aware of the modulus operator or not" thing is an easy one, but there's also the whole loop & print vs

With that logic, why do forms support GET then?

Its not a good idea for HTML to support REST?

by cozuya 12y ago
> Do you know why your FORM tag has an attribute called “method”? Because you’re calling a method on a web server, like a method on an object in OOP. Did you know there are other methods besides GET and POST? There’s HEAD and OPTIONS

If you're talking about actual new windows that are a separate process, those have been blocked by popup blockers for years. As far as popovers that block the screen/annoy you, those are just HTML elements that are positioned on

by cozuya 12y ago
Effectively you're asking for all document.createElement calls to be blocked. Those are used for all sorts of things that aren't ads or popups. Blocking that would probably cause a very large percent of pages to be completely br

These articles are essentially clickbait. The Angular docs themselves say "this is not a low-level framework, if you need that, use something such as jQuery"!

Good question. I guess here, and Twitter? ugh. There's nothing "centralized" for cutting edge javascript development (hopefully not an oxymoron..), so I consume a few different places daily. I don't feel like I'

Relying on reddit for all of your "temperature gauges" of the JS community probably isn't for the best.

I'm of two minds on this sort of advice. If you don't at the very least understand the core concepts of DOM event handlers and async callbacks and I guess just the DOM tree in general, jumping right into Angular (when you're

Source/examples? The only real hassle that I experience with IE8 is "odd" behavior around positioned elements, everything else works OK. It even supports box-sizing: border-box.

I don't get the "rebasing sucks" argument about why git is bad, at all. Most professional arenas will have a source control best practices document, how hard is it to say "no rebasing allowed"? Just because a feat

I'll be that guy: this seems nice, I'd love to use it, I'll take another look some time around 2018 when I can start to consider pitching dropping IE9 support. IE10+ is simply ridiculously prohibitive for something like this

Is it though? I know standards are important, but what does it really cost a browser maker to be able to resolve paths with backslashes? Similarly, is it really that big of a deal to support background-position-x and y? The prime example
