Yeah, this is more like the used car dealership noticing that a lot of their clientele drives Toyotas. SPIES!

Not without making calls to c-bound processes that plug into the event loop or two independent JS run-times talking to each other which is also possible on the web through iframes or in Node via spawning child processes. Single-threaded is

setTimeout uses the same message queuing system as XHR, DOM events, or communicating with stuff that has its own stack like iframes or workers. That's why a function with a timeout of 0 will not fire until after it's enclosing fun

Or just use something like twig where the whole point is to have your view data sorted BEFORE you get to templating, which IMO, is the real source of clutter. Template systems should be boring, stupid, and clean. Making all of the things Ja

Isn't kind of the height of stupidity to attempt to secure transactions on any client-side app? - a javascript developer

Or just use a framework written by people with enough web UI experience to see Angular for the wheel-reinventing, best practice and performance-murdering charlatan that it is. Java teams love it. There should be no greater flashing illumina

There is no excuse for not knowing CSS as a front end/UI developer. That so few know much of anything about it nowadays, or think they don't actually need to is tragic, IMO.

Our industry has been overrun by resume-bullet-point silicon-valley-framework-coddling noobs/whores. I have always prided myself on staying up on the latest in core web technology. It's the reason I know what a !@#$ing tragic wast

Where are you interviewing? All I get is Angular and React questions for interviews where I stated up-front to the initial contact that I'm no expert on either and have tended to stay focused on core technology developments when studyi

That's where MS tends to bug me. Why wasn't that fixed within a few hours of somebody discovering the problem? I ran into a similar issue on an app I just wrote that spits out CSVs. I googled, found a stackoverflow post about how

Alright so somebody with experience in a wide variety of DBs help me out here. Are the enterprise solutions really any more scalable than something like postgresql or is it more that they're more accommodating an enterprise mentality w

I wouldn't let it anger you. I care about quality but every for-profit-company development team I've been on, I was forced to hold my nose at some point/many points/constantly due to some feature demand(s) that had nothi

How do people get as hung up on browser features as much as they do anyway? I hardly use bookmarks anymore. I'm a web UI dev and I don't know half the shit Chrome does that's not development related.

Okay, you can enhance the API that already exists for this I suppose but I'm not sure how you could write a library for that purpose.

Can't we all just agree to blame it on the sales guys?

Booth-babe stuff aside, I thought the article was primarily about being non-technical at a startup.

You can write perfectly performant apps in most languages. The problem is often the communities that surround them. Node.js has some nice advantages but I wouldn't compare by performance next to C# and Java. I'd compare on communi

Google doesn't set the standard for JavaScript. The ECMA does. Microsoft tried their damnedest to run things their way on the DOM API for over a decade(which, yes, is set by the w3c since it's not the core language) and it serious

I don't think I would want to be an ex-NSA agent with "asylum" in Russia or China right now or at any time in the near-future.

So we want them to be more open but we don't want to host their open source code for all to see? Believe me, I'm sharpening my pitchfork and lining up my torches over this thing, but that just doesn't make any sense.

But we don't even know for sure yet whether they had a choice and how this all came about. They're not allowed to talk about it. They could compromise DuckDuckGo and they would be legally bound to not say anything either. At this
