• Node.js threads

  Node.js is often mistakenly thought of as a single-threaded JavaScript engine. However, this is not accurate. Experienced Node.js engineers are aware of the separate libuv thread pool used for delegating synchronous a file system and a DNS utility operations out of the main thread. But, in reality, the actual number of threads is much larger. If you start Node.js you will see 10 threads alongside with main thread.

• Logarithm trick in old web projects

  What I like in the old codebase of web projects. it's chance to see history of real projects in old "dark" times of web. For example you take a look on the line code of project with 10 years history:

  scaleZoom = Math.log(scale) / Math.LN2;

  And you remember school course of algebra with properties of logarithms like ${\log }_{a}b=\frac{{\log }_{c}b}{{\log }_{c}a}$ and also remember that support of Math.log2 in browsers was added a little bit later than Math.log and developers with math in mind used to made this trick.

  You might think that HTML is not programming, but rather a markup language. And you will be correct, until you are not a user of html.js library, which considers every tag in your document as a command, and your document overall as a stack for these commands.

• Check of spread in TS

  Recently, my colleagues found an interesting case of checking the conforming shape of an object to type in TS if it was extended with another object by spread operator. And yes, TS in that case just ignore validation of unknown fields for type. It's a good reminder that usage of spread operator should be minimized as much as possible. Better to think twice about structures in your project and do not use it for business model entities at all
