I'm surprised nobody else has called this out - implementing browser APIs in a non-browser runtime seems like a really bad idea. Take a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window

This is somewhat misleading - the definition of M1 was changed in May 2020, so numbers before and after are not directly comparable. See https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2021/05/savings-are-now-more... . It’s best t

That's not the case here - Singapore is majority Chinese. The sentiments you see are more run of the mill xenophobia - Chinese mainlanders are here to take our jobs, they're loud and unhygienic, they can't speak English, thei

I'm surprised - China's recent foreign policy certainly has not endeared it to South East Asian countries, but even before then mainland Chinese were not exactly treated with open arms in Singapore. You probably won't find it

I would not completely blame it on culture. There are practical upsides to having a large number of packages - using a dependency instead of duplicating code means the resulting code is smaller, and splitting large packages up allows you to

The second result is more semantically correct, but it will not function if called on tr.athing because tr.athing contains HTML elements that will be deleted when you replace the text. It is still much safer than innerHTML which will silent

Yup, innerHTML just returns a string, so of course you can .toUpperCase() on it even if it is unsafe. innerHTML's history is fascinating. It was not part of the original DOM Level 1 API but was added in IE5. It is not semantically corr
