In this blog post, we’ll explore the concept of deep observation in TypeScript and learn how to create a deep observer using proxies. Deep observation allows you to track changes made to an object, including its nested properties, providing a powerful way to monitor and react to modifications in your data structures.
Understanding Deep Observation Deep observation involves monitoring changes made to an object and its nested properties. When a property is modified, whether it’s a top-level property or a deeply nested one, you can capture and respond to those changes. This is particularly useful when working with complex data structures where changes can occur at various levels of nesting.
With the release of Aurelia 2 Beta 15, there are some important changes to be aware of regarding decorators. This update brings Aurelia 2 into compliance with the Stage 4 TC39 decorators proposal, resulting in significant differences in how decorators work compared to previous versions.
One notable change is that inline decorators for injection on constructors are no longer supported. For example, the following syntax is no longer valid:
constructor(@IApi readonly api: IApi, @IRouter private router: IRouter) { } Instead, to handle injection, you can define a class property and use the resolve function from the aurelia package. Here’s an example:
Let’s face it: React’s popularity is a classic example of being in the right place at the right time.
When it first hit the scene, the web development world desperately needed a saviour. Developers were drowning in the complexities of AngularJS, with its notorious digest cycle and performance issues that made building with Angular a nightmare. Along came React, with its fancy virtual DOM and declarative approach, and suddenly, everyone was singing its praises.
It’s a question that has haunted the minds of philosophers, scientists, and conspiracy theorists for ages: are we truly native to Planet Earth, or could we be the extraterrestrial visitors we’ve been searching the stars for all along? While it may sound like an outlandish theory from the depths of science fiction, there are some astonishing pieces of evidence that suggest the possibility of humans being the real aliens. Buckle up and prepare to have your worldview shattered as we dive deep into this mind-bending hypothesis.
Remember the 1990s when Microsoft was the big bad wolf of the tech world? Their iron-fisted control over the PC ecosystem led to a massive antitrust case and made Bill Gates public enemy #1 for a while.
Well, it looks like Apple didn’t learn from Microsoft’s mistakes because it’s now following the same playbook with the iPhone. And surprise, surprise—the antitrust cops are knocking on Cupertino’s door.

JavaScript has been around for over 25 years, yet it’s more popular and dominant than ever. Some love to hate it, others grudgingly put up with it, but let’s cut through the bullshit – JavaScript has firmly cemented itself as the one true king of programming languages. And its reign looks set to continue for a long time yet.
First, there’s the ubiquity. JavaScript is fucking EVERYWHERE. It runs in every browser on every device. It’s the default language of the web. And with Node.js, it’s busted out of the browser to conquer the server side, too. You can’t swing a cat without hitting some JavaScript. It’s like the Starbucks of programming – inescapable but also weirdly comforting in its consistency.
I’m always looking for fun little coding challenges that are not full projects, and I thought I would do a fun little licence key generator using Typescript.
Step 1: Setting Up the Project
First, create a new directory for your project and navigate into it using your terminal. Then, initialise a new TypeScript project by running the following command:
npm init -y npm install --save-dev typescript Step 2: Configuring TypeScript
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or, should I say, the AI in the code editor.
Recently, NVIDIA’s big cheese, Jensen Huang, made waves with his take on the future of coding at the World Government Summit in Dubai. His hot take? In the face of AI’s rise, maybe kids shouldn’t learn to code. Instead, they should focus on fields where humans still have the upper hand, like biology or even farming.
WordPress, a flexible content management system, allows various customisations to enhance user experience and streamline site management. One common requirement is to provide users with an easy and intuitive way to log out. This guide explores a best practice approach to adding a logout link directly within a WordPress menu, utilizing hooks and filters for a clean and efficient implementation.
Opting for a menu item logout link over a separate logout page or relying on plugins offers several advantages:
The wait is finally over. Google has debuted Gemini Ultra 1.0, its GPT-4 competing model powering Gemini (formerly Bard), and it’s time to dig in and see if it lives up to the promise of being on the same level as GPT-4 or falls short.
I have been anticipating Gemini Ultra since it was announced in December 2023. I’ve grown frustrated with the lack of stability and constant issues with GPT-4. I use ChatGPT and the GPT-4 API. I also use Microsoft Copilot Pro (my AI subscriptions are starting to add up now).
