To go further, semver provides semantics and an ordering but it says nothing about version requirement syntax. The caret operator to describe a range of versions is not part of the spec. It was introduced by initial semver-aware package man

The "unexpected" part is that the browser automatically fills some headers on behalf of the user, that the (malicious) origin server does not have access to. For most headers it's not a problem, but cookies are more sensitive

Yeah, it's hard to prevent a sufficiently motivated dev from shooting itself in the foot; but these still help. > You conveniently left out where the Foo string is computed from something that actually need computation. I left it ou

The point of my message is that you should avoid the `log(string)` signature. Even if it's appealing, it's an easy perf trap. There are many ideas if you look at SQL libs. In my example I used a different type but there other solu

by demurgos 9mo ago
I feel like there's a parallel with SQL where you want to discourage manual interpolation. Taking inspiration from it may help: you may not fully solve it but there are some API ideas and patterns. A logging framework may have the equi

It's definitely a possible solution if you control how the file are displayed. In my case I preferred the files to be safe regardless of the mechanism used to view them (less risk of misconfiguration).

I looked into it for work at some point as we wanted to support SVG uploads. Stripping <script> is not enough to have an inert file. Scripts can also be attached as attributes. If you want to prevent external resources it gets more co

It is intentional to avoid non-free projects from building on top of gcc components. I am not familiar enough with gcc to know how it impacts out-of-tree free projects or internal development. The decision was taken a long time ago, it may

Internal means "not exposed outside some boundary". For most people, this boundary encompasses something larger than a single database, and this boundary can change.

You are talking about forward compatibility. JS is backwards compatible: new engines support code using old features. JS is not forward compatible: old engines don't support code using new features. Regarding your iPad woes, the proble

No it doesn't. A global flag is a no-go as it breaks modularity. A local opt-in through dedicated types or methods is being designed but it's not stable.

That's a nice idea, thank you. I have personal blog, I'll try to clean it up a bit and provide performance measurements so it's worth posting. Regarding the official documentation, I've returned to read them. I agree tha

I believe that you are describing `Vec::with_capacity` which allows to change the initial reserved memory on construction. `reserve` and `reserve_exact` are used when mutating an existing vec. What you provide is not the total wanted capaci

Where is the spec? I can't find an entry on MDN. Is there a way to get reproducibility? In the same browser or across browsers? Even if it's not the default mode.

React native is just an example, the point is that the npm registry has no issue distributing binaries. Sass, Prisma, native DB drivers, or any other project using node-gyp or Node's NAPI are valid examples.

Sometimes you need to embed binary data in a text format (e.g. JSON).

> The ECMAScript/JavaScript language itself, however, exposes characters according to UCS-2, not UTF-16. The native JS semantics are UCS-2. Saying that it's UTF-16 is misleading and confuses charset, encoding and browser APIs.

If the logic is compute heavy, Rust with Wasm can be a good approach. TypeScript on both ends is also a pragmatic choice. You can still have a boundary in the backend for lower level layers in Rust. If the logic is merely about validation,

What you describe is already the status quo today. This proposal is still a big improvement as it makes resource management less error prone when you're aware to use it and _standardizes the mechanism through the symbol_. This enables

My understanding is that "ad-hoc" in this context means that you are not defining a single generic implementation but adding individual impls for specific types. There's no fundamental difference between Java's overloadi
