Worse than Javascript's 5+ different types of mostly incompatible module formats, transpilers for different version targets, megalithic node_modules directories and the community's love of importing new packages for one-line funct

The maple leaf is a convenient and evocative symbol, but I don't think many people care about the flag itself. The symbol and the flag are distinct entities, at least in my mind. And it's definitely not present in every company&#x

Text generated by ChatGPT that you have reproduced should be cited, if for no other reason than the fact that you are not the author. Taking credit for work that is not your own is unethical.

That sounds like a good idea, but I do wonder if it's a little too... safe? Every job I've ever taken, there were bullet points in the requirements that I didn't have. And every job has been in a different industry. (Granted,

I'd argue that the unethical bit is knowingly publishing incorrect information, especially in an educational setting. If there's a chance that someone learned deliberately false information that they will then attempt to apply in

The only way I can think of off the top of my head where this would be an issue is when calling JSON.stringify on the object, or a similar function that operates on all available keys. But for the most part, why would you write a function l

When I was around that age, I was really into Final Fantasy and the Dragon Warrior series on the NES. I partially attribute them with developing my reading skills and vocabulary. NES games might be a hard sell for a kid who's already b

I'm not sure about DOM elements, but tacking random new properties onto Javascript objects can cause them to become deoptimized by the runtime.

What do you mean when you refer to "affiliate income"? Is that like ads, or putting your ID in Amazon links, or something like that?

I'm currently working on a project with Typescript and gRPC. It's mostly great, but I'm somewhat disappointed with the generated code. The frontend and backend get code generated differently. The backend is all interfaces (wh

It's disappointing that Reddit is now the go-to for answers. The language subreddits get flooded with questions akin to "where am I missing a semicolon?" and any interesting discussion or articles get drowned out.

What does "temperature" mean here though? Are you sure you didn't just ask it to generate two different responses?

I'd argue for the introduction of a new tier, with the responsibilities that you're taking on that aren't reasonable for the others to do. And if they don't agree, maybe stop doing those extra things. Your coworkers aren

Back when Stack Overflow was in beta, the original design was really rough, so I mocked up a suggested new design for the main page via Stylish and submitted it to them. Within a day or two, they adopted something almost identical but never

I've had admin-restricted Windows workstations in the past, but my Linux machines have never been locked down for me. When I started my last job, I did find that they had installed their own root CA and an admin account they could ssh

I wonder if that's a function of their technology or their database. Google's image search used to be good, but regulations have forced them to cripple it in some ways, and they might have chosen not to surface results in some con
