Strong points to consider.

In an effort to appease the citizens of Utah, Stratos released new renderings of the data center to be built in Box Elder County.

OMG TIL: When you use new Promise(resolve => ...), after you call resolve(foo), as you know, resolve is a no-op. Further calls do nothing. You'd think, therefore, also, that holding a reference to resolve long-term doesn't really hold onto anything, because it's a no-op function, why would it be holding onto anything? Well it turns out, in fact, it holds a reference to the `Promise`, which in turn holds the resolved value, `foo`. So the value `foo` leaks if you never discard `resolve`. This could obviously be fixed by having resolve null itself out after the first call. But the spec is extremely prescriptive of the exact algorithm here, and it doesn't explicitly say to null out the resolver after it is used, so none of the implementations do it. And so, if you hold onto a resolve function after calling it, you are leaking memory. Fun additional fact: Say you do `Promise.race([foo, bar])`. Say that you do this many times, with many different promises for `foo` that resolve promptly, but `bar` never resolves. Maybe `bar` is some sort of global shutdown signal. Well, in this case, every single resolution of the `foo` promise gets attached to the persistent `bar` promise. They all leak, until `bar` finally resolves. WTF!?!

Trying to get AI to fix its slop code.

I want to make a clear statement to my international friends that I do not support what our president is trying to do here. It’s gross and the people that support it should be ashamed.

Okay, this is a new one for me. Wtf.

What it's like to watch AI fix a bug

This explains so much right now.

This resonates. You reap what you measure.

Are we there yet? I feel like we’re close.

Transparency is when we discover which companies actually mean anything they’re saying.

Are any of you using window.open() on new projects? If so, why are you needing to open a new window and why is <a target="_blank"> insufficient? I'm trying to figure out if I should add support in github.com/Aaronius/penpal. Thanks. #javascript #webdevelopment
