Personally, I have seen like a decent amount of job openings of people wanting developers or Replit specialist, because they are experiencing troubles and need someone to fix it... the sad part is that it seems like many aren't willing to pay too much for it... I think I have seen a couple like $150.00 - $250.00... no way, hahaha

My sideproject dev.to/pengeszikra/javascript-grea... contain a JS only-one-function-framework + vite setup for JSX.

So my result is keep smiling and ride up to a flow.

That is lead me to switch my IT project to a real life buy & rebuild a +100 years old mud house.

My quote: simple as possible.

It's not a good joke to begin with. Recently, a US restaurant chain (Cracker Barrel) changed their logo creating some controversy (mainly among some political pundits). This is a version of that new logo. It's a bad joke that doesn't make sense outside of the US now, and even in the US, it won't make sense in a few weeks (as Cracker Barrel already announced they are going back to the old logo).

Let's hope the gods of image compression allow this image to still be readable

Ok, so TL;DR, Nvida is the only real winner? Right?

Simple:

try {
    //your bad code
} catch (error e) {
    console.log(e);
}

Best Codes • Sep 9 • Edited

Try-catch basically gives you two options:

Wrap your whole code in try-catch, then you're back to the original problem of wondering where the error occurred
Use a ton of try-catches, which adds code complexity and is cluttered

Sometimes you can get a nice balance, but the point is that it shouldn't need to take extra steps to get detailed and actionable error information in a programming language.

Reid Burton • Sep 9

The second one is what I do when coding in C.

Hauke T. • Sep 9

+1 for writing code that won't even parse

R Steadman • Sep 10

Gotta love people starting off with a variant of "actually it's simple" - be it about politics, economics, world events or programming, grab your popcorn because they're about to make a fool of themselves.

A special comiCSS from last week:

This comic uses the random() CSS function to scramble the panels in a aleatory way. Unfortunately, it only works on Safari Technology Preview at the moment. But if you have a browser that supports random(), you can check the comic here (refresh the page to see the panels shift)

Of that 40% debugging, 30 is only necessary because of the missing "20% thinking"

If data is completly missing that is fine. If user hold something than is also good to send without validation.

Simple:

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

rem Change to the directory where your .js files are located
cd /d "C:\path\to\legacy\codebase\"

rem Loop through all .js files and rename them to .ts
for %%f in (*.js) do (
    set "filename=%%~nf"
    ren "%%f" "!filename!.ts"
)

echo All .js files have been renamed to .ts files.
