ES6 transpiling has been a bit of a revelation to me lately. Object destructuring is also exceedingly useful. On a bit of a tangent from the article, I'm interested by the use of const as the default for variable declaration. My backgr

Useful stuff. Does anyone have similar information for other javascript engines?

I once interviewed a candidate whose resume listed his skills alongside a rating for each, from one to ten. He rated himself 10/10 for Javascript, so I asked what he'd done with the language. He replied "I've validated f

Probably for the same reason Apple and Google both produce their own browser - it's too important a part of the user experience to delegate responsibility for it to a third party. It's unlikely Google would suddenly turn around an

My experience shares many similarities with yours. What transformed my life was taking up juggling (contact juggling specifically) again. I'd learned a little at university but gave it up after I graduated. I got back into it years lat

I asked for a laptop in an Amazon interview and was told I had to use the whiteboard. It was frustrating to say the least.

I have walked out of technical interviews having spent 40 minutes struggling to write code on a whiteboard, sat down in front of a laptop, and coded a working solution in 5 minutes. For my current job I was provided with the specifications

We were asked to produce a prototype in a two month time frame and we did. It was the subsequent unrealistic time frame after we demonstrated the prototype that did the damage.

I was on a project that produced a carcinogenic prototype. The irony was we knew it at the time. Before it was shown to the higher-ups, us developers joked that they'd like the prototype so much they'd come back with a completely

I have very mixed feelings about this. I'm very glad to see people standing up to bigotry, but I'm not aware of any suggestions that Eich's feelings were affecting his job, or his employees. Eich is certainly guilty of being

"But I found Angular much more suited than jQuery for big sites that are maintained by more than just one developer." I think the distinction is more nuanced, Angular isn't intended for producing web sites, so much as web app

First time I've come across the matchMedia api. This would have been extremely useful in my last project. Thanks for spreading the word.

I've had 20 years of dealing with C style parentheses and I've learned to parse it visually at a glance. I can't do the same with languages which use significant white space instead. I imagine I could train myself to do so,

Again, focusing on the presentation rather than the content, I'm extremely impressed with the integration of advertising on the page, using position:fixed to lock it in place while the content scrolls over it. If we go with the assumpt

This reminds me of a book published, back in the early 90's that contained a list of every public email address on the internet. It was smaller than the average phone book. I imagine an updated edition would be a little larger. Or hav

Inline iframe content is a fascinating addition. Anyone have any further documention on it? I'm guessing that it's a viable alternative to using xmlhttprequests to update page content, which is really rather neat.

Gold Standard double chocolate. I tried their cookies and cream first, and was fine for a couple of weeks before I just couldn't stomach it any more. I've tried a couple of other brands and flavours with similar results.

For me it varies. There are some foods I can eat on a daily basis without ever tiring, but some others I go off very quickly. So far I've found one protein shake I can stomach for long periods of time, the others I get sick off after a

I've been trying to put on some muscle mass over the last 6 months, and simply trying to consume enough protein throughout the day is one of the hardest parts. I can certainly sympathise with someone looking for a simpler solution - it

If they're buying it outright yes, but it's a different matter on contract. There we might be talking about the difference between an initial outlay of $100 and $200. A trivial amount for some, a significant difference for many.
