Understanding JavaScript Array Methods: forEach, map, filter, reduce, and find

Introduction JavaScript is a versatile language used for creating dynamic and interactive web applications. One of its powerful features is the array methods that allow developers to perform a variety of operations on arrays. In this article, we will explore five essential array methods: forEach, map, filter, reduce, and find. Understanding these methods will help you write cleaner, more efficient, and more readable code. forEach PurposeThe forEach method executes a provided function once for each array element. It is typically used for performing side effects rather than creating new arrays. Example const array = [1, 2, 3, 4]; array.forEach(element =>…

The Supreme Court will soon decide the future of social media

Do Facebook and YouTube have the legal right to block or remove users or posts from their websites because of what the users or posts are saying? Or, should the law compel Facebook and YouTube to feature users or posts that the platforms do not want to be associated with?Those questions are at the heart of a pair of potentially blockbuster cases that the U.S. Supreme Court is currently deciding. The stakes are high not only for the future of social media, but for the future of First Amendment law as well. The cases are Moody v. NetChoice and NetChoice v.…

News on social media is a fractured mess, Pew study indicates

News on social media is a fractured mess, Pew study indicates

Pew Research and the Knight Foundation just put out a pair of lengthy reports on how Americans are experiencing news and politics on social media. There are a number of noteworthy stats in the research but, for me, it mostly underscores that news distribution is kind of a mess.It’s not that news has disappeared from X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram, but the way that most users are encountering news content is vastly different from platform to platform. And much of what people say they are seeing is not coming from journalists and media organizations but influencers other unconnected accounts.Perhaps unsurprisingly,…

Why deltas are the cornerstone of Deephaven & Materialize | Deephaven

Data is dynamic. This is self-evident.Strangely, though, nearly all of today's data systems are not designed for the concept of changing data. Every frame of the movie is a new picture: most data engines operate on and transact in complete data sets, not changes in data sets. Efficient handling of deltas is a missing principle. Their engineers do not talk about insertions or shifts.But the paradigm is changing.Two modern query engines position deltas as the cornerstone architectural object. Both provide an incremental-update model: the ability to recompute state by processing only inherited deltas. This benefits modern engineers. In many cases,…

Three Ways to Prepare for the EU CRA  – EE Times

//php echo do_shortcode('[responsivevoice_button voice="US English Male" buttontext="Listen to Post"]') ?> What is the EU Cyber Resilience Act?  There has been lots of confusion about the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), but one thing is sure: it will be introduced quite soon. It was originally to be released in the spring but was postponed to Autumn 2024.    The CRA’s purpose is simple – to unify cybersecurity rules across the EU market. It will become a CE marking for digital products. The CRA covers almost any software and hardware products that connect to the internet. There are some exceptions, such as medical…

My favorite iOS 18, iPadOS 18 and watchOS 11 features that flew under the radar at WWDC 2024

There was so much Apple had to cram into its WWDC 2024 keynote that some features were left out of the spotlight. Here at the company's campus, I've had the chance to speak with various executives, as well as get deeper dives into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, Apple Intelligence, watchOS 11 and more. In these sessions, I've been able to learn more about how specific things work, like what steps exactly do you take to customize your iPhone's home screen and control center. I also got to see some other updates that weren't even briefly mentioned during the keynote, like…

Cheating at math | Deephaven

Cheating at math | Deephaven

Last week I posed a question to myself and my colleagues:Is there a formula to order the seeds of a single-elimination tournament such that the bracket is "optimal"?I did a bit of Googling. There were a few generic resources for coaches, and a few academic papers that would take a math degree to decipher. I didn't have that kind of time!So I cheated. Enter The Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences - an invaluable resource for looking up integer sequences. I punched in the first few seeds for a 16-player single-elimination tournament image I had found earlier: 1 16 8 9…

Access Tokens vs Refresh Tokens vs ID Tokens

Access Tokens vs Refresh Tokens vs ID Tokens

In modern web and mobile applications, securing communication between clients and servers is critical. Tokens play a significant role in this process, especially in authentication and authorisation mechanisms. Among these tokens, Access Tokens, Refresh Tokens, and ID Tokens are the most commonly used. This article explores their differences, purposes, and how they work together to provide secure and efficient access control. 1. Access Tokens Purpose: Access Tokens are primarily used to authorise access to protected resources or APIs. When a user logs into an application, the application requests an Access Token from an authorisation server (like OAuth 2.0). This token…
