A couple of quick notes: * If you don't provide a link to your github profile, I'm not supposed to look at it. This an HR requirement. Other companies may use this same policy. * I definitely look at github, but it's not alwa

It's also important to note that you don't just need browser support. You also need support in every web appliance that the request passes through. It's really common for web sockets not to work through corporate content filt

Unless by "hash based" you mean just using `new Set()`, I'm not aware of a way to do this generically. Using a `{}` for this would only work for a set of strings and things that can be uniquely coerced into strings. Otherwise

Just finished a fairly large pilot test with grpc. Summary: it's not production ready. It seems to be still moving rapidly and bugs pop up. I'd recommend holding back for awhile longer. Also, instagram heavily relies on JS. There

Reduce requires that functions be pure (no side effects). Immutable.js is one way to enforce this but ithe is not required. The examples mostly use things like the spread operator and Object.assign.

Doesn't look like it. It looks like it's just a thin wrapper the `docker` module, which is a wrapper around the Docker API. https://github.com/deepgram/sidomo/blob/7890cde8c5dbf1722311... It probabl

I think one thing of note here is that the author did not want to make the program parallel. One of the benefits touted by Rust is "fearless concurrency." If this feature was introduced this is where # lines or performance may h

I'm glad to see another like minded person. I see the massive explosion of web dev tools, frameworks and libraries as a good thing. I think it's strong indicator that things have become approachable. It's easy to create som

I also use the `IDEA` tag in addition to `TODO` and `FIXME`. My definitions: * IDEA: This is neat and could be helpful, but is probably okay if it never gets done. * TODO: Not doing this has some measurable ill effect. Maybe maintainability

I'm curious why the `thisArg` parameters were removed? I dug through some of the PRs and commmits but was unable to find any specific conversation. It seems odd since the `Array.prototype` methods include it. https://github.

How is it arbitrary? It's part of the ES spec. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe... I'm honestly curious why this is being removed?

I agree with the sentiment but I think somewhat higher loans are reasonable. The rule of thumb that I use is total student debt shouldn't exceed the normal starting salary for a job in your field. If you are getting an engineering degr

Since both node and Rust use libuv for parallelism. Is it possible to provide the node libuv pool to rust so that they share a single bound on parallel operations? Also, can I use Neon for async callbacks?

It's also important to note that these are not quite the same thing. If you name a function, it will be hoisted to the top of the scope where a possible naming conflict could occur.

Thanks for the good read, very enlightening. But, I thought the choice of React as an example was interesting since it already provides test utilities. Any specific reason you aren't using these or were they just omitted for simplifyin

It works pretty well and fairly quickly. We use the array_agg and other json features in a Postgres to Elasticsearch ETL. Postgres is able to spit out the exact format that we need, so the application code isn't really doing much more

For me, it makes the entire chart unbelievable. For example, they separate out teachers into two groups. I find it unlikely that there is a bigger difference between high school and elementary school teaching than there is between installin

It would be a nice feature to reject any PRs that are over a certain # of characters diff. That way it becomes more collaborative instead of wholesale replacement.
