Yet you don't mention an alternative explanation.

by slikts 8y ago
You jump to arguing legality, but morality comes before that, or should anyway, particularly because it's a company vs an individual.

Are you going to add this disclaimer to everything you do now, or is the idea to just take the name over with your capital? It's their name that they've established by being a prolific, well-respected developer; it was also the on

Or is it that you googled and decided you can just take over someone's identity because they haven't registered a .com. It's not like "substack" would be a thing outside of it.

So you couldn't be bothered to google for the name? It's not just their Twitter handle; they've published some of the most popular npm packages of all time under it; there's who knows how many millions of users.

I have trouble picturing what advantage that setup would give over using ESM or node modules. The Function constructor is a better alternative for eval(), but still only as a last resort. eval() itself has no use cases. I find that most JS

eval() has no legit use case in JS, and I really don't understand what the point of "// @export" would be. You can't reflect on module or function scopes, but that's a feature and gives you encapsulation.

Dynamic imports don't replace static imports.

Having to explicitly mark where the control flow goes to the event loop with `await` is a very small price to pay for making the code much more clear. This is why I don't recommend node-fibers or deep coroutines in general. Destructuri

Elm stands out in this regard, as it gives fairly robust guarantees of no runtime errors, so the debugging you'll do when working with Elm will almost always be limited to its compiler or Elm Debugger. The price to pay for this is limi

The criteria for this list of languages seems to have been "isn't JS". The story for metaprogramming in JS certainly is limited in some aspects; for example, there's no operator overloading and JS isn't homoiconic l

The generators or async/await in JS are 'shallow' coroutines because you can only `yield` or `await` in the direct scope of a generator or async function, but the benefit of shallowness is that the control flow is explicit; y

There is no interpretation involved; V8 has an unoptimized base compiler for compiling JS to machine code one function at a time, and a pair of optimizing compilers that work based on runtime profiling. V8 also has a bytecode interpreter fo

by slikts 9y ago
V8 compiles to native code with the exception of low memory devices (512M or less), for which it has a (relatively recently introduced) bytecode compiler, so it uses an interpreter in that one case.

You're confusing first-class and higher-order functions.

I wasn't anywhere near as fancy and just collected the callback methods from the Chrome docs with a snippet pasted in browser console.

Just, why… Pass in a parameter if you need to set the state, no need to mess with the context.

As someone who frequently watches videos, changing the tempo is very underrated, as there's usually no good reason to waste time watching people talk at their natural speed. I used to do this with VLC (it can stream YouTube), but YouTu

by slikts 11y ago
I have YouTube set to 1.5x tempo by default (with an extension), and watch things at 2x if possible (Ctrl+> is the keyboard shortcut for upping the tempo). Reading is still faster, but not by that much. Ctrl+F is still a problem, though,

Straw-man much? I just said that it's funny to hold up Paul Ryan as an exemplar of sensibility.

There's a difference between "papers" and "every other paper". Instead of a consensus, economists are split into camps over the question whether austerity harms or improves economic growth. There's been criticism of austerity even from the
