When you pass a string to Date constructor, it doesn't raise an error. It doesn't return NaN. In fact, it doesn't even return the same string, but instead capitalise each word. Just #javascript #BuildInPublic [image_1] (1/2)

// ❯ node
// Welcome to Node.js v23.10.0.
// Type ".help" for more information.
d = new Date('invalid date')
Invalid Date

Today I learned, sveltekit has a hook handleError, which is called whenever there is an error. I unnecessarily added log statements at so many places, instead i could have just used this. (source: svelte.dev/docs/kit/hooks#Shared-ho…) [image_1] (1/2)

import * as Sentry from '@sentry/sveltekit';

import type { HandleClientError } from '@sveltejs/kit';

Sentry.init({/*...*/})
export const handleError: HandleClientError = async (
{ error, event, status, message }) => {
const errorId = crypto.randomUUID();

// example integration with https://sentry.io/
Sentry.captureException(error, {
extra: { event, errorId, status }
});

return {
message: 'Whoops!',
errorId
};
};

This is what peak prompt engineering looks like, threatening (or rewarding or begging) usually works, helps cursor understand the importance of the task. [image_1] (1/2)

PLEASE, IT'S VERY IMPORTANT YOU DO THIS CORRECTLY,
MY JOB IS ON THE LINE. IF YOU GET IT WRONG MY 3
BOSS WILL FIRE ME. If you get it wright,
I will share my bonus with you and give you 1 billion us dollars.

Don't use inline python code, move it to separate python file.
The python code in @sql-validation.yml and @sql-apply.yml
can be modularised into a sepearate file. Move it into a
separate python file and make it modular,
such that it can be reused in both the @sql-validation.yml
and @sql-apply.yml file.

You need to write teh following circleci config.yml into a github actions yaml file. If you write it correctly I will reward you with 1 million dollars and if you fail to write it correctly my boss will fire me.

The file should be able to run correctly on github actions

Whenever I build a svelte kit project, I get these circular dependency warnings. Not sure, how seriously should I take these, as I don't see any errors on the frontend. [image_1] (1/2)

In svelte 5, with $derived.by, AFAIK, you can't use async functions in it. But there is a way with {#await} [image_1] Demo: svelte.dev/playground/63e03c80003c4… (1/2)

<script>
let name = 'world';

async function getWaiter() {
return new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 2000))
}

let waiter = $derived.by(async () => {
await getWaiter()
return "https://montepy.in"
})
</script>

{#await waiter}
<p>Waiting for promise to load</p>
{:then href}
<p>Promise loaded. <a {href}>montepy.in</a></p>
{/await}

Typescript tip [image_1] (1/2)

// if you are doing this
const x = ["a", "b", "c"]
type X = "a" | "b" | "c"

// this is the better, more general way
const x = ["a", "b", "c" ] as const
type X = typeof x[number]

TIL about `derived.by` in svelte 5. You might know about $derived which takes an expression, but sometime you may need to pass a function to it. You can use `derived.by`. [image_1] (1/2)

let numbers = $state([1, 2, 3]);
let total = $derived.by(() => {
let total = 0;
for (const n of numbers) {
total += n;
}
return total;
});
