It was the same for me - back when I first learned SQL I really tried to use Postgres but phpMyAdmin was so much better than pgMyAdmin that I gave up. A lesson in the importance of user-friendly UIs. Perhaps some developers can really nail

As a guess, wrap each method in a function that records access and run original method? That way you can get stats for each method.

High quality data is nice, but at some point one has to get on with one's own life, rather than wait for data. I bought a pair of glasses to filter out blue light on the advice of my dad (who has an eye problem and was recommended them

You should not use Debian Testing (unless you are testing) because it does not get security updates like stable.[1] You should either use Debian Stable with "stable-updates" or use Debian Sid if you want the latest stuff. [1] htt

I second this. In production I will typically front my Node app with Nginx that takes care of SSL and static file serving. There is also a substantial performance benefit. Can all be bundled up in a single Docker container for super easy de

Nothing to do with Japan, but there is a very fun Wonderfood museum in Penang, Malaysia. It has lots of incredibly realistic fake food. I was looking at the plastic things up close and still found it difficult to believe it was fake. :) ht

"some" !== "forEach" ;) Also, "some" still has the performance penalty of an extra function call per iteration (as I know you know based on your linked comment) and we are talking about performance advice here.

True, except if you track LTS (probably not a bad strategy) and entirely skip the earlier 8.x versions ;)

Except Crankshaft is replaced with Turbofan in Node.js 8+ so a lot of these no longer apply.

This is a very mediocre article that mixes some good advice with misleading and frankly bad things. Justifying forEach (which is several times slower than a for loop) with sparse arrays (which are an anti-pattern because they take you out o

Most of these things are not “junior” level at all. There are exceptional people though and I suppose it makes sense for you to try and hire those. But large amounts of disappointment are very much part of the process then.

You can pick and choose the parts of Bootstrap you want to use, but you'll need to compile the SCSS code (very easy). Assuming NPM install, look at node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss for a list of files that are

The timestamp on the source files is updated by sed, when it strips the whitespace. The stamp file is then updated with touch. The advantage of using Make is that only modified files will be fed to sed and, consequently, only they will be c

Sometimes it is necessary though. I have had to use this pattern in 2 scenarios: Building a static website where the targets are wildly different from the source files. I could probably make it explicit but it will be overly verbose and bri
