Except that most pastebins would at least make the text more readable than it is there. Especially on mobiles. Markdown with Strapdown inclusion, a pastebin, a CMS, bare Bootstrap... anything would be more readable than this.

Speaking of React/Angular - they are obsessed because they never used 10-years-old computers and slow Internet connection and don't actually know how users feel when their weak machines are thrown all that stuff at. I'm not a

Looked. So what? There's a difference between "ugly" and "invalid". Both cases are bad but the first one has much more impact on end users. Edit to answer "how is it invalid": is this not enough? http:&#x

A wrapper over something like this... git clone https://[repo]/[module].git node_modules/[module] ...and ability to provide dependency resolution along with custom runscripts? Yes, we can. Not a rocket science. Ho

Why not use location.hash and URL shortener? That way no upload is needed.

I personally had used WoSign several times: https://buy.wosign.com/free/ Besides Chinese origin of this CA, haven't found any caveats so far. Free is better than cheap (at least in a way you haven't to disclo

In JS we can rely on the Date.getDay prototype. Here's the ES6 flavour: weekDay = (dateObj) => ['Sunday','Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturd

14 lines in JS? O'rly? Even with such a strict check of the padding character length (with an exception) and a period by default it's a four-liner at most. leftPad = (str, len, pd = '.') => { if(pd.length !=

So again, is this Hacker News or Karma-Jerkin-Conformist News? It seems that in order to "earn" that "ability" one has to praise Lisp, Rust and Haskell and publicly hate JS. Isn't that mass conciousness manipulation

Upvoted just to keep the thread and go against "elitist" hivemind.

I honestly think the entire idea of downvoting available only for selected users creates a mass conciousness manipulation tool. When some "authority" decides what's good and what's bad. Why can't I use the downvote

Actually, there are several immutable FS-over-tinyURL projects. I have created some of them too. A real problem with Twitter is that you can get banned quickly for doing this.

Why not just use anonymous gists in conjunction with RawGit CDN? Unique IDs, no way to change or delete (since the gists are anonymous), served right out-of-the-box with a proper content type from cdn.rawgit.com.

See: isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0 In which conditions does it return a wrong value? I haven't found any.
17.
by plugnburn 10y ago
Sure, because just writing isPositive = (x) => +x === x && x > 0 is boring. Need more requires to require the requires... Keep in mind though that absolutely not all JS programmers are like that. Not everyone wants t

I may sound old but one can start with just backing up node_modules/ directory. If third party modules are hosted on GitHub, you can fork them.

By the way, ES6 syntax (works in modern foxes and chromes): leftpad = (str, len, pd = ' ') => Array(len > str.length ? 1+len-str.length : 0).join(pd) + str WTF are you talking about? Making this into a module?!

This. Any modern standrards-compliant implementation of JS (following ES5 and especially ES6/ES2015 standard) already has everything that a sane programmer would ever need.

Have to put a little clarity over my "so sad yet so true". When the developers of such a serious library as React start to depend on a third-party one-function module made by some Dick-from-a-mountain (a russian idiom that means a

by plugnburn 10y ago
The advice is simple: Don't rely on third-party stuff you can implement yourself with no significant effort. And for stuff you can't, backup those modules.

So sad yet so true. We haven't. React developers probably have.

If you can really see beyond the algorithms, you should understand what I mean. Exploring a "spherical algorithm in the vacuum" begins being useless at some point. One should explore its properties when used in a real environment.

"Used" is not quite a correct term here. It's the most common high-level runtime, yes. But what about the percent that writes in JS? Not in any of its derivatives like CoffeeScript, TypeScript, LiveScript, ClojureScript, El

So is JS. But like I said, both implementations suck compared to actual coreutils.

by plugnburn 10y ago
Ah, understood. I think neither of these beats actual coreutils and their support base (still under impression of Termux capabilities...), at least not yet.
