thousandeon ‘This’ in JavaScript

Today I learned

In general, a good practice is to avoid anonymous functions for the listener else it is not possible to remove the event later.

thousandeon “We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020”

I guess it played a role in getting html5/css3/web-standards features up to speed

The Adobe Flex thing had lot of css3 features early. Funny to see how 'easy' it is to release specs and implementation when you are the sole owner of the tech

thousandeon “We will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020”

The two companies kind of merged and Adobe continued to employ some of the original members from the Flash team

thousandeon Content isn't king

Isn't this something like what's been emerging on Twitch and YouTube the last couple of years?

Eg. during The Electronic Entertainment Expo 2017 (E3) in June there where multiple YouTube channels streaming with side chat, comments and what not. I think I have seen it with the recent Star Wars releases too. Maybe it is not quite what you describe, but this seems to be a trend

thousandeon Ask HN: What MySQL IDE do you use?

I use the PhpStorm IDE which comes with it's own database tool which is more or less the same as the stand-alone DataGrip product/tool. It is customisable and have tabs +a lot of nifty features. Only thing I miss is 'migrate database from vendor to another vendor', but I guess that is too specialised for such a tool.

Entertaining! 833433 humans live in the U.S. with the first name Thomas. That number seems a bit low

thousandeon Emotions You Don’t Feel

Maybe, fear and the sexual impulse is often described as related.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-embodied-mind/20130...

Antony Beevor's book "Berlin: The Downfall 1945" comes to mind. There is a chapter in that book where the witnesses describes increased sexual activity in the city during and between the bombardments.

thousandeon JavaScript at 20

Everything is a discovery. No one sat down and said now I am going to invent or think up something called numbers.

A thing happens because of what happened before it, and before that thing another thing happened etc.

Excited about Visual Studio Code. Wish it was open source though.
