Facebook Inc said on Friday it would allow its workers who are able to work remotely to do so until the end of the year as the coronavirus pandemic forces governments to extend stay-at-home orders to curb the spread of the disease.

US labor market shatters post World War 2 records as coronavirus lockdowns bite

The labor department's closely watched monthly employment report on Friday also showed the unemployment rate surging to 14.7% last month, shattering the post-World War II record of 10.8% touched in November 1982. It strengthened analysts' views of a slow recovery from the recession caused by lockdowns imposed by states and local governments in mid-March to curb the spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the virus.

Object.assign Side Effects and How To Copy

In How To Copy Objects post I'll explain the difference between various native ways to copy own keys and properties, describing also the fact that Object.assign is full of surprises and side effects.

As example, assigning to an object something like {get next() {return ++this.i}, i:0} instead of {i:0, get next() {return ++this.i}} will result in different values copied over: next === 1 and i === 1 in the first case, next === 1 and i === 0 in the second one.

JS Glossary On Demand: Now Paperback!

Updated and Hand Crafted for A5

Imagine you are trying to learn something about Art and images are split between different pages ... that's what I feel every time I read a technical book with code examples split and very hard to follow.
It's embarrassing how much work it takes to have a proper pagination that never breaks for both paragraphs and code examples but I've finally did it in here!
The Leanpub E-Book, specially the PDF version, is also well formatted but it's for US letter.
I've ordered a proof of copy for both formats but there's no competition: the Lulu.com A5 paperback version is too handy and kinda cute!
