strange JavaScript .map() "magic"
Why ['1', '7', '11'].map(parseInt) returns [1, NaN, 3] in Javascript
['1', '7', '11'].map(parseInt)
would expect [1, 7, 11]
but it returns [1, NaN, 3]
another "strange" result:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(console.log);
explanation:
ParseInt takes two arguments: string and radix (base, default is 10)
['1', '7', '11'].map(parseInt)
would expect [1, 7, 11]
but it returns [1, NaN, 3]
another "strange" result:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(console.log);
explanation:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map(console.log);// The above is equivalent to[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map( (val, index, array) => console.log(val, index, array) );// and not equivalent to[1, 2, 3, 4, 5].map( val => console.log(val) );
ParseInt takes two arguments: string and radix (base, default is 10)
parseInt('1', 0, ['1', '7', '11']); => 1
parseInt('7', 1, ['1', '7', '11']); => NaN
Visual Studio Online
Microsoft Announces Visual Studio Online @ InfoQ
"Visual Studio Online is currently under a private preview, which requires a sign-up process to be able to participate when it is available. There are, however, other open source online editors supporting Visual Studio Code extensions that can already be used. One of the most popular alternatives is Coder, based on Visual Studio Code and available on GitHub. Another alternative (also available on GitHub) is Theia, a joint project between TypeFox, RedHat, IBM, Google, and others."
Microsoft announces Visual Studio Online, a web-based code editor - MSPoweruser
"Several year back, Microsoft had a service named Visual Studio Online. In 2015, they rebranded it as Visual Studio Team Services. Later it became Azure DevOps Services which offers development collaboration tools including high-performance pipelines, free private Git repositories, configurable Kanban boards, and extensive automated and continuous testing capabilities.
At Build 2019, Microsoft announced that it is bringing back Visual Studio Online brand. This time it is different, Visual Studio Online will be a web-based companion to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. It will allow developers to work on and edit code from any device with latest web browsers."

Raspberry Pi 4 += 4K video
The new Raspberry Pi 4 is ready for 4K video - YouTube
The Raspberry Pi 4 brings faster CPU, up to 4GB of RAM | Ars Technica
"Raspberry Pi is introducing a new version of its popular line of single-board computer. The Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is the fastest Raspberry Pi ever, with the company promising "desktop performance comparable to entry-level x86 PC systems."
The new model is built around a Broadcom BCM2711 SoC, which, with four 1.5GHz Cortex A72 CPU cores, should be a big upgrade over the quad-core Cortex A53 CPU in the Raspberry Pi 3. The RAM options are the even bigger upgrade, though, with options for 1GB, 2GB, and even 4GB of DDR4. The Pi 3 was limited to 1GB of RAM, which really stung for desktop-class use cases.
There have been some upgrades and tweaks to the Pi 4 I/O, too. The Gigabit Ethernet returns, as do the four USB ports, but two of them get an upgrade to USB 3.0. Power is now supplied via a USB-C port, instead of the aging Micro USB of the Pi 3. The headphone jack returns, too, and it's still a four-pole solution providing audio and composite video.
One interesting choice is the removal of the single, full-size HDMI port of the Pi 3 in favor of two micro HDMI ports. The Pi 4 will now support two 4K monitors..."

jaredpalmer/formik: Build forms in React, without the tears 😠@GitHubFormik · Build forms in React, without tears.
"forms are really verbose in React. To make matters worse, most form helpers do wayyyy too much magic and often have a significant performance cost associated with them. Formik is a small library that helps you with the 3 most annoying parts:
- Getting values in and out of form state
- Validation and error messages
- Handling form submission
By colocating all of the above in one place, Formik will keep things organized--making testing, refactoring, and reasoning about your forms a breeze."

Add in a Pro Display XDR monitor (and a Pro Stand to go with it), and you’re looking at a workstation that could clear $50,000."
For all that dough, big-budget video editors and other creative types get a lot of firepower: a 28-core Intel Xeon W processor, an almost-impossible-to-comprehend 1.5TB of RAM, 4TB of SSD storage, and four AMD Radeon Pro Vega II Duo GPUs — assuming you can afford one.

"...comprehensive port of React Native to the web.
What Vincent focused on was to uniform the development process and the tools between Mobile and Web platforms. He ended up filling the gaps between the two with Yoga (cross-platform layout engine which implements Flexbox) and by compiling it to Web Assembly.
Here are the differences between the two: "

VS Code Remote Development
Visual Studio Code Remote Development may change everything - Scott Hanselman
"Visual Studio Code Remote Development allows you to use a container, remote machine, or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a full-featured development environment. It effectively splits VS Code in half and runs the client part on your machine and the "VS Code Server" basically anywhere else. The Remote Development extension pack includes three extensions. See the following articles to get started with each of them:
- Remote - SSH - Connect to any location by opening folders on a remote machine/VM using SSH.
- Remote - Containers - Work with a sandboxed toolchain or container-based application inside (or mounted into) a container.
- Remote - WSL - Get a Linux-powered development experience in the Windows Subsystem for Linux."

The Post JavaScript Apocalypse - Douglas Crockford
From person who "discovered" JSON and "good parts" of JavaScript
The Post JavaScript Apocalypse - Douglas Crockford - YouTube
Tab vs Space => can not remove Space, so Tab has to go, not adding value :)
Single Quote vs Double Quote => keep Double Quote, single quote is used as apostrophe
"let" vs "var" keyword => keep "let", var is confusing people; const is even better
"stop using IE" :) "IE does not spark joy"
"null" vs "undefined" => get rid of "null"
null could be defined as immutable empty object in ES6: const null = Object.freeze(Object.create);
