Because you're supposed to use a single connection with HTTP Pipelining for all your ressources [1]
When index.html loads 4 CSS and 5 JS : 10 ressources in HTTP 1.0 needed 10 connections, with 10 TLS negociations (unless one ressource loaded fast and you could reuse it's released connection)
With HTTP1.1 Pipelining you open only one connection, including a single TLS nego, and ask 10 ressources.
Why not only 1 per domain so ? IIRC it's because the 1st ressource index.html may take a lot of Time to complete and well race conditions suggest you use another one that the 'main thread' more or less. So basically 2 are sufficient.

Came exactly to say this.
We often don't solve technical problems or write algorithm. We're here to understand a client who doesn't know what he wants. Good luck for the general purpose AI to solve this [1] "If Architects had to work like Programmers"

Is this one dark enough for you ? [0]
I call it `links https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36342085`
Oh and don't tell me you're a hacker if you've never tried Hacker News in the terminal emulator. Dark, Perfectly dark, Green-dark \o/

Commenting on the last exercise, "loops" on https://javascript.sumankunwar.com.np/
The average functional programmer writes this - and not a for loop :
````
const fizzbuzz = (n)=>(n%15==0)?"FizzBuzz":(n%5==0)?"Buzz":(n%3==0)?"Fizz":n;
Array(101).fill(0).map((_,i)=>fizzbuzz(i))

Congratulations !
A documented, opiniated, non-hype biased post about AIs. I've lived the 80's AI hype wave and the fall that followed. AFAICT we're on the same train here.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Arthur C Clarke) and we're waiting for the masses to recognize what magic sparkles are : dust (ok, weighted barycenters of a huge database)
Side note : I often wonder how *GPT can deal with self-reference, like "What would you think of you if you were me ?" or "tell me something you were not programmed to think is plausible"

Over-enthusiastic marketing. Sometimes it was HR promoting participating in social networks "for the company". Nobody ever threatened me, they were just really pushy, until the pushback

Perhaps I didn't explain it well. Those employers kept me ! and I didn't have to repeat it to other potential employers "shortly" later.
It just ended the conversation there. The crucial part being I'm not against publishing as a part of my job, but no way you're making it a personal requirement / on my behalf.
The outcome being "let's stay good friends", not "you're fired"/"don't get the job", I did get it. As such, not ending the conversation in 2 mins but letting them reviewing their argument is crucial : the constraints are yours, and you don't have anything to blame me for ..

Simple
- No linkedin, no instagram, no fb, and afaic not even a google account (yes android works, rooted)
When my employer asks me to "publish", "have a presence" or "shine for the company" in any way I find the NDA, security rules and legalese I've signed and reply
1. This is against cybersecurity rules, can you sign me a paper stating you want me to break rule #37 and rule #61
2. Then I ask him to accept all the end-user agreements in the company name or its own personal name, and send me back the login+password so I can contribute daily BS - oh and buy me a company owned phone if such interactions involve using a MobileApp(tm), no way I'm mixing personal and work on my phone
The discussion stopped here, never got a reply, did this to 3 employers already

As a heavy vim user, I've literally been using gvim.exe every day on Windows for the past decade

Does kinda work
Perfect :
* Using :left and V , set ts=4 sts=4 sw=4
* Recording macros with q
* Main vim combos - it's definitely vim
Fails :
* Typing { or } on a MacBook Air under Firefox - don't know which of this settings cause the bug. Reproducibly, { does not work
* Replaying a macro containing { or any error
Kudos for the compilation (emscripten ?) and Brace for impact (the incoming bugs) :)

awfully sorry, I wanted to 1. underline that it's a shared opinion and 2. notice others that the "Current Events" portal was commented here.
I posted the exact same comment in all 4 positions talking about Wikipedia - if anyone feels offended or spammed just ler me know and I'll delete this superflous cross-reference
Bare with me - I may have had the same. Countless hours debugging. I had to copy Assembly (68000) in my early days.
Copy-paste is a life saver. Don't type this very long parameter if you can copy its name from the definition file.
