Can you provide a source on that? Coz the v8 blog has like a monthly dedicated warning post against the dreaded "Holey" array and how it's the archnemesis of all performance optimizations. Ok exaggeration aside, it's som

Kind of poetic justice after they sabotaged our hosted series lineup by harrassing NZ team's family members with fake bomb threats.

You don't have to turn something into what it already is. Have you ever looked at the JS standard library String/Number/Math/Date? Heavily inspired by Java if not identical. > “I was under marketing orders to make it

Ah, missed that example. I am not seeing a single good argument > Indeed, the benefits of method chaining are so attractive that some popular libraries contort their code structure specifically to allow more method chaining. The most pro

1. Pipe proposal doesn't make anything deeply immutable either. In JS you can even use a curly braces block to avoid leaking your let/const variables. 2. I am dreading even thinking about how the pipe thing is supposed to operate

As someone who will be pulling their hair for the first few years it will have to be transpiled into obfuscated spaghetti code (and will be debugging/understanding it): Why do we need an operator just so people can write unreadable cod

It's becoming impossible to reason with you gullible lot who've been subjected to insane propaganda and hate by the Indian media/ruling party. You have my sympathies. I'm too tired to take the bait right now. Have a nice

Neat. I am pumped about Intel GPUs with official open source drivers for Linux. Exciting times ahead!

Well Karachi is the sole sea port of Pakistan and generates more than 20% of Pakistan's entire GDP, so not that. I think @ripe meant they're miles apart development-wise. The city doesn't even provide an ambulance service, en

It pains me that there can never ever be an online discussion about Pakistan without our neighbors derailing it. It would be useful to discuss rising extremism in both countries but you just put together a bunch of links to paint Pakistan a

Relax, it's a 3 day old post. You're making hate comments against Christians while asserting they're your brothers. The irony is amusing.

Sure but there are so many vastly different versions of Quran (because the author was illiterate and had to pass it on orally, over a period of 23 years) and paper was scarce back then. So no idea which one to start from. Open to suggestion

Fair enough. My issue was you saying Islam doesn't consider other religions infidels. In a thread about a book which has 90% content ranting endlessly against infidels and cursing them (I'd know, I've read the entire 600 pag

Is the large portion of your family larger than a country of 200 million? "Common majority of muslims" is the western diaspora of a couple million? The nation is known for following the said book so it's no surprise they are

I'm a former devout Muslim writing this from Islamabad. I have personally witnessed the sheer hatred and violence perpetrated against Christians led by the verses I quoted. So don't teach me about Islam thank you.

We are talking about the Quran here right? I'm not so sure about the brotherly part. https://quranx.com/5.82?Context=3 > Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews

Wrong. Your implementation loses all parameter typing, defaulting to "any". IDEs have correct TS definitions for .bind().

They're technically correct. And if you gotta write on HN, you better get the terminology correct (and that derails threads into interesting tangents often) so my bad. Gotta say currying seems to be useless in real world. No advantage

Ah, TIL. If we are being pedants. Wikipedia says: > currying is the technique of converting a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions that each takes a *single argument*. So the article isn't currying eit

If I am not wrong, a functional version can be written in plain JS (+ WASM?) using Custom Elements (tho tag names must contain a hyphen). Except I don't know why all the non-Google stakeholders are hell bent on sabotaging Custom Elemen

What sort of projects are those? Not software I assume? I've yet to work on a project in my life which remained in the initial scope. Plus debugging seemingly trivial bugs can take entire work days.
