code:

import Character from './Character'

export class Dilbert extends Character {
  constructor () {
    this.facingToBloodshed = false
  }

  faceToBloodShed () {
    this.facingToBloodshed = true
  }
}

you can do stuff like this now for those who aren't aware

also

code:

myArray.includes('fart') // true

That's just a bullshit word.

I submitted a patch to node that fixed a lot of issues we were having at work w/ the node require system, and they decided to pull it in literally the day before v6 came out despite it completely changing some behavior -- still good for us, because the old behavior was loving mind boggling, but apparently there are like 5 other bespoke package managers out there that aren't npm that all use this poo poo to structure their apps and none of them work any more :getin:

coffeescript lol
just lol that people think the thing holding them back is having to type ( ) { } ,
javascript code, if it must be created, should be created using typescript.

no, you really should avoid coffeescript these days. especially with node bc you can debug native es6 w/o sourcemaps and transpilation madness.

if u get dependent on coffeescript nobody is going to want to hire you.

how the gently caress do you use 100% CPU on a modern Intel chip drawing a progress bar?

answer: JavaScript

and also JavaScript is inherently single threaded so while the progress bar is wasting cycles the thing you want to install can't get cpu time

Whats a tool that lets me boot 8 instances of node at once (i.e. one per core), look at and manage their state, restart an instance if it crashes, monitor cpu/mem for each, invoke a mem limit at which we force-kill it, etc?

Yeah but that doesn't do what I want without me having to type a lot of code. I'm more interested in a tool that someone else made because I dont want to do work.

this week i wrote a background worker thread search (using lunr.js -- it's like solr but not so bright :haw:

) of 15mb of text. the individual text documents are just xhr'd in, but the index has to be kept in memory, so keeping the search index off the main thread made the SPA quite a bit faster

JS is fine for front end development but if you're using it for more than just sending ajax request and manipulating Dom elements then you're doing it wrong

idk it turns out javascript is an o.k. scripting language when you don't have to deal with the poo poo-show of modern browser compatibility. it's just as bad (or good) as any other p-lang out there for web development -- I mean yeah if your lovely web app *needs* threading (it probably doesn't), or if you want to structure it with concepts that all p-langs are pretty bad at like OO (another hint, your web app probably doesn't need OO), then don't use it obviously, but it's fine for medium-scale web apps and stuff.
