That's a good point - it is highly dependent on what languages you already know from beforehand. If you know JavaScript already then it makes sense to learn a language that is not garbage collected, has no mutations or is not managed.

> but its actually 5-10x slower than Java and uses 5-10X more memory I am definitely against the "Java is slow" claims and think they are mostly rediculous but so is this claim. Saying "uses 5-10x more memory and 5-10x slo

It's implicit - but my criticism here is mostly that once you know one development stack learning others is significantly easier. Learning Java is something that a backend developer can likely do in a week - and so is learning Node.js

Node.js is 9 years old and is also very stable with a large ecosystem. It's far from "hype train" in 2018 and it's more the mature technology - though it's still moving fast forward with new tools and paradigms it&#

I never got the "Should I learn X" posts. The answer is yes to all the "Should I learn X" questions so it's very hard to have a discussion. Learning another language is _significantly_ easier than learning the first

Just to be clear, the reason I (and others) use the NPM registry is that it saves us a ton of time and helps us be more productive. There is nothing stopping me or you from putting "regular" JavaScript files in your `node_modules`

Asking for some feedback for Node.js What (if at all) should Node.js do better to protect users from this sort of attack vector? Is a deno-like surface where users opt into packages getting network permissions desirable? More guides on npm-

Well, to be fair the website looks like it does the most it can possibly do to avoid good SEO and search engine visibility. It uses `<meta keywords` and other techniques that apparently search engines like Google do not take into account

As an Israeli, I believe that US intervention in the long term and the fact we were stuck in a proxy of the cold war did us mostly harm. While we see the US as an ally here - we haven't traditionally been at war with Arab countries and

WebRTC is stateful whereas dash/hls are HTTP based and stateless - caching with HTTP is easy and CDNs have a ton of infrastructure on the internet to support it. Caching with WebRTC is very hard - even for a single second - since every

CORS applies to XHR but fetch can make opaque requests by setting {mode: 'no-cors'} as the second parameter.

Sure you can, you can make any request you want without CORS, the content is just opaque to you (for example you can display an image but not manipulate its pixels). You do this for example with `fetch('./any-resource', {mode

by inglor 8y ago
Exactly! This is a little backwards, the goal of CORS isn't just to protect the _user_ it is also to protect the _third party website_. All it takes for a website to opt-in to this is just adding a single header - it's possible fo
