Speaking at a function in Varanasi on the occasion of Ravidas Jayanti, she urged the audience to take the teachings of the saint to the masses. "He (Sant Ravidas) had dreamt of a society, where there is no discrimination and where every person is respected. You all should take forward his teachings to the masses, especially at a time, when there is so much violence and hatred in the society. His teachings are need of the hour," Priyanka Gandhi said.

The following article, written by John-David Dalton and yours truly, was published as part of the Performance Calendar series in 2010.

This is one of those posts I wrote just to be able to link back to it later. I see a lot of questions on the subject, and even though I don’t mind explaining the same thing over and over again, it’s probably easier to just write it down once.

By now, everyone knows how to detect and use localStorage. However, I’ve been using a seemingly unconventional (but slightly more efficient) technique to do so. Since I haven’t seen it documented anywhere else, here goes!

As a follow-up to the post documenting a few popular HTML element + attribute notations, here’s a similar one about JavaScript.

I thought it would be fun to document the smallest possible valid HTML documents for each version, so here goes :)

Having recently written about character references in HTML, I figured it would be interesting to look into JavaScript character escapes as well.

Does JavaScript use UCS-2 or UTF-16 encoding? Since I couldn’t find a definitive answer to this question anywhere, I decided to look into it. The answer depends on what you’re referring to: the JavaScript engine, or JavaScript at the language level.

Did you know var π = Math.PI; is syntactically valid JavaScript? I thought this was pretty cool, so I decided to look into which Unicode glyphs are allowed in JavaScript variable names, or identifiers as the ECMAScript specification calls them.

Fun fact: var foo = { H̹̙̦̮͉̩̗̗ͧ̇̏̊̾Eͨ͆͒̆ͮ̃͏̷̮̣̫̤̣Cͯ̂͐͏̨̛͔̦̟͈̻O̜͎͍͙͚̬̝̣̽ͮ͐͗̀ͤ̍̀͢M̴̡̲̭͍͇̼̟̯̦̉̒͠Ḛ̛̙̞̪̗ͥͤͩ̾͑̔͐ͅṮ̴̷̷̗̼͍̿̿̓̽͐H̙̙̔̄͜: 42 }; is valid JavaScript. It may not be immediately obvious, but the real surprise here is that the Cthulhu-esque property name is not surrounded by quotes. Intrigued by this, and having written about the similar topic of JavaScript identifiers before, I decided to look into valid property names in JavaScript. When do they need to be quoted? When can the quotes be omitted? And in which cases can dot notation be used instead of bracket notation to get or set a property based on its name?

Looking for a list of all reserved words in JavaScript? You’ve come to the right place. I recently needed such a list myself, but ended up comparing the reserved keywords in all ECMAScript versions as well. The result is listed below, for future reference.

The way JavaScript handles Unicode is… surprising, to say the least. This write-up explains the pain points associated with Unicode in JavaScript, provides solutions for common problems, and explains how the ECMAScript 6 standard improves the situation.

ES2015 updates the grammar for identifiers. This affects a number of things, but most importantly, identifiers can be used as variable names, and identifier names are valid unquoted property names. This post describes the observable changes compared to the old ES5 behavior.

ES2018 adds support for Unicode property escapes of the form p{…} and P{…} to JavaScript regular expressions. This article explains what Unicode property escapes are, how they work, and why they’re useful.

This article describes some key fundamentals that are common to all JavaScript engines — and not just V8, the engine the authors work on. As a JavaScript developer, having a deeper understanding of how JavaScript engines work helps you reason about the performance characteristics of your code.

This article explains JavaScript engine optimization pipeline trade-offs, and describes how engines such as V8 speed up accesses to prototype properties. As a JavaScript developer, having a deeper understanding of how JavaScript engines work helps you reason about the performance characteristics of your code.

The globalThis proposal introduces a unified mechanism to access the so-called “global object” a.k.a. “the global” in any JavaScript environment. It sounds like a simple thing to polyfill, but it turns out it’s pretty hard to get right.

Pfizer and German partner BioNTech SE (22UAy.F) said on Tuesday they have begun delivering doses of their coronavirus vaccine candidates for initial human testing in the United States.

Vardhan also flagged the large prevalence of non-smoking tobacco usage in some of the states and the problem of spitting in public places.

The vaccine will be developed using the virus strain isolated at the ICMR's National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, a statement said.
