jzig··on Slack – Degraded service affecting multiple features
By accident I noticed that you can add as many characters as you want to the end of the url and it will still load that page. Neat.

jzig··on Show HN: Cancelable async primitives for JavaScript
I can't think of any reason I've ever wanted to cancel a promise except maybe when uploading a file. Therefore I'm having a hard time grasping why this is such a big deal. What is another example?

jzig··on My list of JavaScript interview questions
The following is intentionally a little snarky.

I know what IP and DNS are but I couldn't tell you how they work.

I almost never use `this` and therefore don't remember all of its nuances. My team specifically avoids using it because it is harder for junior devs to grasp and makes things harder to read. I tend to agree.

Writing a reduce function? That's what I use lodash for.

What is REST? I use it every day but would have to look up a proper definition for you.

The event loop? I know what it is but I have never needed to know what it is.

I should learn these things because they are practical? Most of them aren't at my current job, but that's just my experience. And I probably get paid enough and have enough day to day freedom that I wouldn't want to work for you. However I would gladly answer all of these questions as a part of take home "homework".

Sorry if I'm being a curmudgeon. Shrug.

P.s. your website is down!

jzig··on My list of JavaScript interview questions
I am a frontend engineer as well and would probably only be able to answer half of those questions reasonably without studying. Sigh.
jzig··on A day without JavaScript
On a minified app it only seems to show line-by-line coverage of the minified files and not the source maps :(
jzig··on NTFS bug lets anyone hang or crash Windows 7 or 8.1
Yes I just confirmed this in a Win7 VM by opening an html file with an img src set that way. It seemed to take a moment for the box to crash so perhaps if you close the window soon enough it might not happen.
jzig··on Ask HN: How can a front-end developer dive into machine learning?
Related question: If I only had an MIS undergrad degree (some 200 level stats and no other math) and wanted to get into machine learning what kind of math courses would I need to pick up to become proficient?
jzig··on Linting HTML using CSS
Why isn't there an HTML linter in the same way there is ESLint for JavaScript?

jzig··on Lab-Grown Diamonds Come into Their Own
> And larger stones get laser-inscribed, so that the manufactured stones literally have words like "lab-grown" written right on them.

Why?

But they're not adding any more cocoa are they?

Of course they'll pass the savings on to the consumer, right?
jzig··on A demonstration of browser events used to monitor online behaviour
It's funny to see the different variations. I used: `var x = setInterval(() => { for (element of document.getElementsByTagName('a')) { element.click() } }, 1000);`
