Been using the AWS SDK for JavaScript v3 for the past 2 weeks and was bitten many times by the appalling inconsistencies, not to mention the unnecessary verbosity of the naming conventions, making it painful to write code to handle the requests/responses in a generic way across all the resources. A picture paints a thousand …

Was trying to migrate a database from MySQL to PostgreSQL recently when I “discovered” that UNSIGNED is not supported in PostgreSQL, as it is not part of the ANSI SQL standard which it follows closely. Other findings were that non-aggregate columns are not allowed in queries with GROUP BY clauses (which MySQL/SQLite “allows” by selecting …

Came across a GitHub issue Collection processing like @index for Mustache.js. It referenced the each() function in another library, GRMustache. Came up with the following and posted my solution back in the Mustache.js GitHub issue 🙂 Sample output: <h4>Test 1: Loop over array with count & access to existing template vars/fns</h4> <div data-date=”2021-12-03″>item 1/4: ant …
Came across this tutorial Let’s Make a Multi-Thumb Slider That Calculates The Width Between Thumbs which was written in React and TypeScript. Decided to convert it to vanilla (plain) CSS and JavaScript 🙂 First up, a working demo below. Move the slider thumbs and an event will be emitted, which will be output to the …

Given a variable myObj in Javascript, evaluating myObj.child.name || ‘Kid’ will cause an error if myObj.child does not exist. In comparison, in PHP, $myObj->child->name ?? ‘Kid’ would just yield “Kid” with no errors. One way would be to write the expression let result = (myObj && myObj.child && myObj.child.name) ? myObj.child.name : ‘Kid’;. Another way …

This is similar to the previous blog post except this is more direct. The answer is “Yes” for all tested languages except C and C++. This may seem trivial until you meet a situation where the same original object is shared across requests/sessions, like a public static variable in Java or an incorrectly scoped Javascript …
As per title, ran this across various languages. Results are mixed, but IMHO, it seems unsafe to design your functions/methods this way. It would be better to pass in the object, compute the changes without modifying the object, return the computed changes and assign it back to the original variable. Below are sample code snippets …
