Fixed a bug on how the browser wasn't closing TCP connections/Motion JPEG video streams properly in a responsive behavior. Took me about 3+ hours reading through various specs and that resulted to around 20 LOC changed. I then wro

I think it should be "The art of buying single-board computers and never running them once". I think the "once" is needed in the case of computers. They are as machines not directly comparable to books... A book, like an

I'm honestly a bit confused by this statement, as "React env variables" can mean various things, depending on your setup. Backend and frontend can be separate runtimes... The backend could be an API-only-server and an OS proc

The level of noise is the predominant parameter in my selection for a living place. I always consult the noise map[0] before moving anywhere in Vienna/AT. I hope other governments offer the same information. [0]: https://map

To add to this, for me personally the difficult part in automated test isn't the definition of expected output, but the retrieval of actual output in an automated way. Test frameworks can and will only focus on a limited set of interac

You're question seems more on the side of "Why use a micro framework when you can use a mature full-fledged one?". I feel a lot if new ideas in the web development space are first available as "micro" packages, so t

I didn't lay out a bait =) It would also look more readable to me with a default return value. An exhaustiveness check just keeps your mapping functionally pure and the type checker can catch it.

the reply button wasn't there and I assumed the reach of a depth limit... guess I just needed to wait a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Moving the case for a default value to the caller is a weird choice IMHO. Types should reflect the assumed sta

@lolinder ...you just removed the default case and just introduced undefined as return value at runtime, so it isn't the same functionality.

Thanks for the example! I guess we consider switch/case in different situations then. I usually make use of switches in simple mappings and switch/case seems more readable and idiomatic to me there: type CountryCode = | &q

Thanks for the example! I assume the identical performance just comes from the optimization of the JIT, as allocating objects in the heap seems quite overkill for such a control flow. I only fall back to this when switch/case isn'
