This is amazingly common unfortunately


From experience, so many things that graph dbs are not worth the effort in something like 99% of cases. Stick with postgres or similar if you can!


I've seen a number of comments like this over the last few days and I don't really get it, gamers use the internet right? Vast overwhelming majority of them are going to be running javascript programs hundreds of times per day


sure, and maybe browsers or os need some way to say “running untrusted code please turn off performance for a sec” for that use case. until then ill just use one tab at a time or disable js before i opt in for slow.


I expect that the vast majority of PC gamers keep Javascript enabled in their browsers.


CS:GO also uses JS for its new GUI, and there's already been one exploit that took advantage of it.


I wouldn't expect that. Is this the kind of thing that would be reported by the Steam hardware survey (if that's still a thing)?

Edit: I took a look and it seems they don't ask/record that info. I apologise for the offence this idea seems to have caused someone.


Nobody was offended by the other. I think people are downvoting you and gameswithgo because you appear to be applying your own personal notions to an entire segment with little to no evidence.

'PC enthusiast' is such a blanket term to start with, so applying a blanket statement to such a group is obviously doomed to failure from the very start.


And that's exactly what the parent did that I replied to. But I do appreciate the explanation, cheers.


Why would steam's hardware survey report if JavaScript is enabled in browsers?


Because its a hardware and software survey. I have a memory of them asking some extra questions but that was years ago. Either I remembered wrong (likely), they changed it, or they don't report it all.


only? 11°C is huge!


But if your default temperature unit is C, then 20C seems like a heck of a lot more than 11C.


But less than 20.


It's to keep the drone as far away from landing hazards as possible - you don't want someone accidentally losing a finger to a rotor or the drone crashing through someone's window or landing in a location it's likely to get stuck.


Yup it's a pretty good idea too. Pets, odd structures, children, terrain type, puddles, water run off areas.

Not to mention you need to account for the wind. Drones can actually fly really well in wind, and while obviously they won't be flying in strong winds, you never know if there'll be a gust.

In rural/suburban/residential districts the airspace is pretty darn clear above the treeline/buildings. Assuming you aren't next to a large airport, there is little to no air traffic, there's more wind but there's plenty of room, etc.

I couldn't tell from the video, but I'd assume they drop the entire string to prevent it from being snagged.


Pretty low.


Webpack is virtually indispensable, it has a poor reputation because the docs weren't great in v1.x and because it takes some effort to understand and configure correctly. When it's configured it's rock solid and it rarely needs touching again.

I have this theory that people dislike it because that complexity comes front loaded - the most fun part of any new project development is right at the start and if you're spending time setting up webpack then the developer perceives that as frustrating time wasted rather than an investment in the project that pays off long term. A big part of create-react-app's success is because it means the developer can get started right away and not have to worry about that.


Companies are made of people and people inevitably screw up. Cloudbleed made Cloudflare more trustworthy in my eyes simply because of how they handled their (very large, very unfortunate) mistake.


You just have to reach out to people, you can't expect to sustainably rely on referrals for growth. Remember that your existing clients have no incentive at all to refer you to other people and in most cases are disincentivised from doing so. Instead use your success with your existing clients as social proof when approaching other companies in their niche: "we just delivered X, Y and Z to CompanyYouveHeardOf, let's talk" is a great way to open a conversation with those other companies.


for your specific example - you can declare SCSS variables in a JSON file, that makes the definitions accessible to both JS and SCSS.


This sounds pretty interesting, thanks for sharing. Do you have an example you can share? Are you using node-sass-json-importer?


Using sass-vars-loader for this which is a webpack plugin: https://github.com/epegzz/sass-vars-loader
