Features of the browser or features of the web platform?

Developer Edition? What exactly are you getting in that that you aren’t getting in the regular/stable release? I tried FF.D.E. once but I found it indistinguishable from the main release. 🤔

Hey!

shhh!

Changes what exactly?

And the browser saves those cookies for you, right? Throws them out when they expire.

Aren’t cookies invalidated after a while anyway? Doesn’t seem viable to me.

Very good point. I have Bitwarden set up as a passkey for at least one account. I should remove that. 👍

Passkey or notification please. So sick of entering these codes on a daily basis.

That makes a lot of sense considering the similarities between them 😊

you will miss it in other languages

I honestly don’t like the “unless X” paradigm, because it adds the condition at the end. The ??= operator shows us what will happen much sooner.

I guess it’s a matter of personal taste.

It’s all about recognition, and we can train our brains to recognize things. 👍

you forgot to return the result.

What result? The result is A being assigned a value. That’s the result.

Exactly. Not adding efficient things because “they will be new” is just silly. We adapt, as programmers. We learned the language a first time, so we know what it means to learn things. Just like in English when you come upon a word you don’t understand, either you understand it by its context, or you just look it up. Simple as that.

I feel like it boils down to understanding that operator. I’m a TypeScript developer by trade so I had no issue understanding this. 🤷‍♂️

That’s way too many ways of doing the same thing, yuck.

But you’re saying the idiomatic way is to use unless, rather than the actual operator for this?

What do you mean? Why does what need to be a public property?

What’s wrong with this? I don’t get it. Perfectly understandable code to me. Can someone explain?

Everybody should subscribe to Kevin Powell. Such a dear guy. Really genuine character. And informative videos!

Gotcha. It wasn’t clear to me but fair enough 👍

I remember those days. My comment still stands, I don’t know how your new reply explains why alert() is better in any way, shape or form. 😅
