Iterator helpers has just advanced to Stage 3 in 🎉
The proposal will add methods like .map and .filter to iterators and async iterators, just like the prototype methods that exist on arrays.

Thanks and everyone else who worked on this!

So many terrible, unmaintainable software architectures are a result of someone going "I wish I didn't have to pass this parameter around all over the place".

object initialiser syntax creating objects that inherit from Object.prototype was a mistake
Quote Tweet
After finding this bug (or feature?) I realized that other Web APIs are also susceptible to prototype pollution.
For example try this:
Object.prototype.method = 'POST';
fetch("/", {}); twitter.com/BugsChromium/s…

Street experiments do not close streets.
They re-open them as public spaces that serve multiple societal goals.

a thing I think about a lot is security advice that's basically just wrong because it's written with assumptions about corporate behavior that are not reliable.

Welp, I guess I know where stands unfortunately. After this DM, they blocked me and hid my reply. Don't attend conferences that allow speakers to shill cryptocurrency/web3 scams. It's too bad, I had a lot of respect for them before this.

HOT TAKE: DevOps sucks. Give me a team of T-shaped people over a team of people whose expertise and time are both stretched too thin any day. There's a reason we don't have DevFinanceLegal: specialisation works.

LAST NIGHT we created a temporary safe path on Valencia St for ppl biking & scooting while motorists idled in the bike lane.
It is a disgrace that 1 of SF's premiere retail corridors & a major N/S bike artery continues to be a dangerous car sewer. This must change. #justaminute

My best/worst idea is that instead of speed limits we should have momentum limits. “Hey congrats on your new F-950, your max speed in the city is 4mph�?

Good first patch opportunity for ECMA-262: github.com/tc39/ecma262/i
Help us improve the consistency of phrasing used in the standard for JavaScript. No required background. Comment in the issue thread if you start working on it.

A coworker sent over this great article about the OPAQUE protocol: blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2018/10/19/let
There's an IETF draft which recommends a strategy for its use in TLS 1.3: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft
And an interesting response article that I don't quite agree with palant.info/2018/10/25/sho

Shouldn't we be hashing (or some KDF) passwords client side in web logins so a passive MITM or an APT in the DB server can't get plaintext passwords? Is anyone doing this? Is this scheme discussed anywhere? Interested in possible web platform support here.

There is one comparable market to NFTs: The Star Naming Market.
Back in the 90s some entrepreneurs found you could convince the public to buy "rights" to name yet-unnamed stars after their loved ones by selling entries in an unofficial register.

landlords don’t provide housing. the entire point of landlording is to deny people housing by buying more housing than you need — thereby depleting the market supply — then renting your own hoarded excess back out to people who can’t buy housing because you drove prices too high

i think cars are cool pieces of machinery and i enjoy a nice drive on a rural road. but building an entire society around the use and maintenance of cars was a terrible, grievous mistake that we each pay for, every day.

The reason Bitcoin advocates are so loud, angry and obnoxious is they know the influx of money to pay out their position needs to come from somewhere. And they desperately need it to come from your pocket.

It’s nigh impossible to come back from being as wrong as they were to support trump this long into his tenure.
Now, it’s a matter of pride for them. They’ve been unwaveringly stubborn, to the point of idiocy. They don’t care anymore. It’s past the point of any reconciliation.
