might as well prank them with a fake gun and ask for $300 that way

just a prank, bro

why is there a picture after every other paragraph

it's looking more and more like chrome

i'm not a fan of the wasted space around the centered but not-wide-enough url bar (urls are truncated even in the screenshots)

the rest seems decent though

it says the screenshots are mockups so i hope they improve

they were out for a while

another site with a pointless thick black border around the viewport

it feels like internet tunnel vision

what a terrible background image

someone on reddit said there's no such thing as a free lunch

> My guess is that reCAPTCHA wants me to tag any bit of elevated land as a mountain, but who knows, really.

noticed this too, and it often won't let me pass without selecting the hills

or when it asks for street signs, i have to select every vaguely street-sign-looking poster and advertising sign or it thinks i didn't select enough

i wonder how it's affecting their training

i find the longer versions of the first two examples in "2. Omit needless code" more readable

i think my mental parsing at a glance of the short version of the first example trips over how there are no parentheses around the "msg" parameter and it looks like an ordinary variable until i reach the "=>" after it

and in the second example, parentheses (expression body) are used instead of braces (block body) but with indentation that's typical for block bodies so you can't easily tell it's an expression body at a glance (also depends on how well your font differentiates "{" and "(")

> Sometimes we’re tempted to assign names to things that don’t really need to be named. The problem is that the human brain has a limited number of resources [...]

i don't think intermediate variables are all that bad, especially for things that'd make an expression too long to comfortably fit on a line

or is it something only functional programmers care about

i'm not a fan of the currying and point-free and other things and find them pretty unreadable but i never did that kind of functional programming (to my knowledge) so i am not legally allowed to have an opinion on them

the title made me think of cloudflare watch (http://www.crimeflare.com/)

> Sorry, this trial only works in new versions of the Mozilla Firefox browser.

wow

> [flagged]

really?

i thought flagging was for spam, not for super-downvoting articles you don't agree with

how many legitimate posts have been hidden from me because people super-downvoted it using flagging?

unless the posts are hidden manually by staff which i hope is the case

> However, even if the db object is not reassignable, we can still modify its internals, as long they are declared as let and var. That’s why we will mock single functions and not the whole object.

this doesn't work for the awful practice encouraged by eslint (at least when i last tried it) that consists of ignoring that there exists a keyword specifically for declaring functions, and abusing constants with arrow functions instead

sure, it prevents you from reassigning the function variable and using `this` but aren't those things what you use a linter for?

> for you

a project i know uses coffeescript and i see it as an additional hoop for possible contributors who otherwise know the web platform to jump through

(i contributed to that project once and accidentally introduced a bug related to variable scoping...)

i think nowadays people should be writing es6+ javascript instead (won't even need to transpile it in the future)

what's with the claustrophobia-inducing thick black border around the page

the title would be better without the lame pun

here's my internet power user opinion:

a malicious image, as in that opening it in a vulnerable program (browser or image viewer) would allow code execution?

those exploits usually require specially crafted image files, so i think re-encoding and optimizing the image (like using `jpegtran -optimize -copy none` or `optipng`) would possibly do for "sanitizing" the file

a code execution flaw in jpegtran or optipng would be worse though, but sandboxing might work to protect against them (i don't know much about sandboxing though)

what is it?

they depend on the browser which can do things like suspending tabs or crashing

> For me, because Java is crossplatform, it's better.

i apologize for being a windows user but i somehow didn't think of that

i disabled scripts and the article is visible in a noscript element for me

it's like in this meme: https://i.imgur.com/TUEABrP.jpg

the majority of users don't go out of their way to disable scripts so i can totally understand it when site owners refuse to waste time (= money) catering to the needs of the small fraction of users that do

the writer really has something against google

> LastTry is open-source Terraria clone in Java, written using Slick2D library. Our goal is to recreate original game with better perfomance, and old content.

im not sure if java is any better than c# (what the real thing is written in) for performance

don't you also need permission to use the game assets like that

i wish we could add the sudden popup that dims the page to the list already

it never works for me on windows

it just slows my system down to a crawl, requiring me to force a reboot

it probably depends on your hardware

and if i disable the pagefile, windows update stops working and at 75% memory usage it starts panicing and closing programs

my guess: to not complicate parsing complex expressions in default parameters

  // non-strict mode top-level code
  
  function foo (complex = eval("1+1"), moreComplex = (function(){ with (this) { return bar; } }())) {
      
	  "use strict"; // go back and parse the parameters again but this time with strict mode semantics
      
	  // ...
	  
  }

you should invest in a password manager (i use keepass)

i dont know if this is something you should post here

i'm liking the new site

it's good to see jsperf back although i've kind of grown out of micro-optimizations (like different loop styles)

i just try to write readable code nowadays, letting the js engine optimize the common use cases for me

> I re-exported them as jpeg 100% (i.e. no compression and no loss)

jpeg is lossy, even at 100%

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7982409/is-jpeg-lossless...

is there a full version available somewhere?
