Can you hoist the `if (result)` into the `try` part of the statement? (Without seeing more context hard to know why that wouldn't work for you). Another pattern to avoid the above is to remember that async functions return promises and

Personally I find SQL much easier to read. In a product where you might allow users to write queries it is a much more pleasant UX experience to write and read SQL than it would be to do so for ES queries. It isn't a problem to underst

Duplicate dependencies affecting client side "size" is highly overrated. We can make tools (and have tools) that can compare files for same content and only include them in client side bundles only once. De-duplicating the same co

Pinning in development is equally necessary if you hope to bring sanity to your development team all using the same codebase. Not pinning may be great for a one person 'team' or modules where you control everything, but can be a m

Why should they reconsider it? Someone that just got into development and might want to show their friends or family something they are hacking away on. According to you they now need to learn about VPS, some random nginx settings or other

To me the ease of having the library be installable with the "canonical" package manager of my platform is too convenient; just "feels" more natural and simpler. I actually thought about writing a node.js ngrok client bu

Author of the project here. I want to clarify why this project exists (as many seem to point out that other projects or methods exist for doing this). TL;DR; If you think of localtunnel as just a shitty ngrok (or name your project here), yo

The fix for this is to use a module. Simple. Not a problem.

The generator example has no error handling (at least not from what I can see). Once the "callback hell" example was re-written with named functions, it is not much different than the generator example and depending on how you are

As long as every jquery plugin and other code that depends on jquery continues to require all of jquery, all this module stuff is useless. I am sure it helps you organize jquery Dev but it still doesn't help actually define real depend

Lots of those are for Sizzle. jQuery would be great if it broke up all those tiny little and completely orthogonal things it does into modules so that people could use them as needed. No one library is going to provide everything for every

This is very unfortunate that they are doing this if the data was scraped and not hitting their servers. Is it that some part of the data they think is copyrighted (like grades) versus just courses?

I run a similar service for other schools (courseoff.com) and I have run into this before. I bet what happened was their site failed to cache the course data or seat information and was thus making lots of requests to the Yale servers. To Y

You don't have to trust anything. If you want to NIH everything yourself, nothing is stopping you. It is however more likely that many packages on NPM are better than the ones you or your team can create if simply for the fact that the

IMO bug bounty payouts are a more effective use of funds for a project. Paying per commit is like paying per line of code. At least with a bug bounty you (the giver) can specify which particular item interests you. If you want to donate mon

Yes, wires are much more difficult to reverse but they can be reversed. In my experience, your financial institution must get your prior approval before reversing a wire (which is not true for ACH reversals). Wires also you a completely dif
