#500 — August 7, 2020 Unsubscribe  |  Read on the Web It's issue 500! Thanks for your support over the years, we're not too far away from our 10th anniversary which we'll cover separately. But do I think issue 512 will be even cooler to celebrate? Yes.. 🤓 JavaScript Weekly 1Keys: How I Made a Piano in Only 1KB of JavaScript — A month ago we promoted JS1024, a contest to build the coolest thing possible in just 1024 bytes of JavaScript. It’s well worth looking at all the winners/results, but one winner has put together a fantastic writeup of how he went about the task. If this genius seems familiar, he also did a writeup about implementing a 3D racing game in 2KB of JavaScript recently, and more besides. Killed By A Pixel Announcing the New TypeScript Website — The official TypeScript site at typescriptlang.org is looking fresh. Learn about the updates here or just go and enjoy it for yourself.

A curious feature of JSHint’s license is that the tool couldn’t be used for “evil” – this has now changed with a switch to the MIT license(!) Mike Pennisi ⚡️ Quick bytes: Apparently Twitter's web app now runs ES6+ in modern browsers, reducing the polyfill bundle size by 83%. Salesforce has donated $10K to ESLint – worth recognizing, if only to encourage similar donations to JavaScript projects by big companies 😄 A nifty slide-rule implemented with JavaScript.

Vettery 📚 Tutorials, Opinions and Stories How Different Versions of Your Site Can Be 'Running' At The Same Time — You might think that the version of your site or app that’s ‘live’ and in production is the version everyone’s using.. but it’s not necessarily the case and you need to be prepared. Jake Archibald Let's Debug a Node Application — A brief, high level look at some ways to step beyond the console.log approach, by using Node Inspect, ndb, llnode, or other modules. Julián Duque (Heroku) 3 Common Mistakes When Using Promises — Spoiler: Wrapping everything in a Promise constructor, consecutive vs parallel thens, and executing promises immediately after creation.

Dan Fabulich Four Ways to Combine Strings in JavaScript Samantha Ming 🔧 Code & Tools GPU.js: GPU Accelerated JavaScript — It’s been a while since we linked to this project but it continues to get frequent updates.
