That works in a single person household. But once an extra person wants to use it then each person has to do the dance of re-pairing every morning - which can be painful if the oth…

It's really not though. If you look at the official yearly releases, you'll find that there have only been a few major changes since ES5 (aka ES2009): Async/await, modules (import/…

If you want to get double taxed, sure you can keep your Australian Medicare and private health insurance. As far as the ATO is concerned, unless you discontinue both, you're consid…

Chrome throttles background JavaScript by default (disables requestAnimationFrame entirely, reduces allowed runtime to around 1% of real time, etc) [1]. However disabling it entire…

We've recently started our transition from full rest to graphql. It's actually magical how much easier it is to do everything. We've used join-monster to handle the sql generation …

Service workers are in a separate layer to your app code. They're in another thread, they're subject to different memory/storage rules, they have access to a few extra apis IIRC. S…

This is what I've noticed as well. Most devs can't communicate for shit. Being able to just talk is often enough to get your foot in the door. It also has the added bonus of giving…

It's the same reason we don't have Burger King in Australia. We have Hungry Jack's. When burger king tried to start its brand in Australia way back when, they were unable to regist…
