As a younger coder who has worked at the bigger firms that disallow use of GPL code in projects (Amazon, Google) - it is a huge disappointment to find a quality library that is GPL: There are plenty of projects at these companies that would

Say I make a change to a commonly used library (let's say deprecating a function, and replacing it with another): * I can see literally _every use_ of the old function. * I can run the tests for everyone who uses that function. * * thi

Don't make assumptions. Here's a possible explanation (but who knows): At a certain page height, WebKit/Blink may change rendering behavior. It doesn't need to render elements that are far away from the viewport.

Another important concept for JS devs to understand is (macro)tasks and microtasks. This is becoming especially important in ES6 and beyond (due to Promises leveraging microtasks). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/259

Not necessarily easy. If they're using a decently high cost for their use of bcrypt, we're talking hours to days (or more) per user , even when only considering weak passwords like that.
