[WayBack] GitHub – slikts/js-equality-game: The Worst Minesweeper 💣 Ever:
It’s in response to claims like this one by the well-known author getify:
However, implicit coercion is a mechanism that can be learned, and moreover should be learned by anyone wishing to take JavaScript programming seriously. Not only is it not confusing once you learn the rules, it can actually make your programs better! The effort is well worth it.
You can play it on [WayBack] JavaScript Equality Table Game: Find out how well you know (or don’t know) the JavaScript == operator rules
It reminds me of the hilarious video on Wat – Destroy All Software Lightning Talk : Gary Bernhardt : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

When starting to work with Python, a lot of examples contain the >>> characters on the first line often followed by ... characters on continuing lines.
They are about two things:
The answers in [WayBack] What do the three arrow (“>>>”) signs mean in python? give insight in the various Python versions and how they prompt.

Food for thought:
Let’s put aside frameworks for the moment and focus on the principles of scaling any agile approach. Why should we scale? When?

I forgot how I originally bumped into the book series, but every time I try to program in JavaScript I’m reminded of them: You Don’ t Know JavaScript.
Originally a KickStarter project, they are now on GitHub and there is a Twitter account irregularly posting about them:

A great tip from [WayBack] python multithreading wait till all threads finished:
ou need to use join method of
Threadobject in the end of the script.t1 = Thread(target=call_script, args=(scriptA + argumentsA)) t2 = Thread(target=call_script, args=(scriptA + argumentsB)) t3 = Thread(target=call_script, args=(scriptA + argumentsC)) t1.start() t2.start() t3.start() t1.join() t2.join() t3.join()Thus the main thread will wait till
t1,t2andt3finish execution.
I’ve used a similar construct that’s used by the multi-threading code I posted a few ways ago (on Passing multiple parameters to a Python method: the * tag) in the ThreadManager class below.
But first some of the other links that helped me getting that code as it is now:
start() and join())Thread.start ; [WayBack] Thread.joinThread.start ; [WayBack] Thread.join
class ThreadManager:
def __init__(self):
self.threads = []
def append(self, *threads):
for thread in threads:
self.threads.append(thread)
def runAllToCompletion(self):
## The loops are the easiest way to run one methods on all entries in a list; see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2682012/how-to-call-same-method-for-a-list-of-objects
# First ensure everything runs in parallel:
for thread in self.threads:
thread.start()
# Then wait until all monitoring work has finished:
for thread in self.threads:
thread.join()
# here all threads have finished
def main():
## ...
threadManager.append(
UrlMonitorThread(monitor, "http://%s" % targetHost),
SmtpMonitorThread(monitor, targetHost, 25),
SmtpMonitorThread(monitor, targetHost, 587),
SshMonitorThread(monitor, targetHost, 22),
SshMonitorThread(monitor, targetHost, 10022),
SshMonitorThread(monitor, targetHost, 20022))
threadManager.runAllToCompletion()
