Original author here. Yes this book was written a long time ago when I was into the node ecosystem. A lot of the book was copied into the official docs later https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/1246 . The book

I'm typing this comment from Firefox running inside a container on a Pixelbook (ChromeOS) :) Firefox has been my daily driver for over 5 years, with all my history and bookmarks synced across all devices I had to have it on ChromeOS to

I agree. I do buy clothes towards the higher end of the cost spectrum, but they routinely last 4-5 years, after which the old T-shirt’s simply get cycled into the “wear at home and for sleeping” set.

JS objects are tables, with Arrays being a syntactic convenience with some extra properties. JS engines do heavily optimize for the array case with dense layout. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/scripting/javascrip

Do you mean background uploads? I believe that is because the iOS APIs don't allow apps to run in the background keep uploading data. I've never had uploads failed while the app was in the foreground. I agree this is inconvenient,

Who makes the rules about how long these records can be stored and so on? Do citizens have a say? I feel I’d be ok with this as long as the data was used once for a quick criminal check or whatever and then discarded. Of course, we need str

I feel like battling with complexity is an important part of growing as a programmer, and it doesn't require any domain knowledge. To that end: No Silver Bullet - for two ways to think of complexity https://blog.acolyer.org&

Yep, not legacy, but "not compatible with multiprocess" is what it should show for offending addons.

For those who don't notice the speed, multiprocess may be disabled due to certain addons. Go to about:support to check if it enabled. The addon compatibility checker addon can tell you which are the offending addons. For me 1password w

1password has their opvault format spec on the website and https://github.com/OblivionCloudControl/opvault can decrypt. Admittedly the UX is lacking.

There was an email in mid December 2016, another one at the beginning of March 2017, and if I remember correctly, one even before that. I'm not even a Pro user.

I understand this post is more startup-visa focused, but generally the US employment based visa and permanent residency system is fucked. I'm in the US on a work visa, but due to my nationality am looking at over a decade of wait time
