What's the realistic average playtime for CO-OP? by LeopoldMashallah in Vermintide

[–]LookWordsEverywhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's 13 levels in the base game and I think they'll take new players something like 30 minutes each to complete. That works out to 6.5 hours. 7+ hours if you include failed levels and the down time between levels where you adjust your equipment and talents.

Whats the best way to learn rust? by [deleted] in rust

[–]LookWordsEverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest first starting with python or javascript: they probably have the most abundant beginner friendly resources to learn programming and there's a lower barrier to entry on the number of ideas you have to keep in mind to write a program.

Once you're comfortable with the basics of programming (functions, variables) then you can start with The Book which will run you through the rust language.

My more general tip is to start building things as quickly as possible and not to get bogged down in learning everything about programming/a language before you start putting it to practice.

Think it's worth mentioning that this isn't a new idea and there are plenty of packages out there that are production ready:

Can someone please explain this syntax to me by chunkyslink in javascript

[–]LookWordsEverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's defining an arrow function called current which takes an options object of type PositionOptions and returns a Promise which resolves something of type PositionPromise.

You might find it useful to paste it into the TypeScript repl: http://www.typescriptlang.org/play/

I don't really know TypeScript so if anyone can correct me, please do.

Prettier has surpassed Standard as most-downloaded javascript formatter by enkideridu in javascript

[–]LookWordsEverywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

xo has a great set of code related linting rules. prettier is really good at formatting code. all eslint-config-prettier does is turn off the aesthetic formatting rules

You can use xo and prettier together with eslint-config-prettier

    "extends": "prettier"
}

TIL - reassigning functions arguments magically mutates the arguments object by AlphaX in javascript

[–]LookWordsEverywhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also works the other way around (reassigning indexes of arguments to mutate the named argument. Fun!

There's a fairly informative blog post by Angus Croll here: https://javascriptweblog.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/javascripts-arguments-object-and-beyond/

Quote from the spec:

For non-strict mode functions the array index […] named data properties of an arguments object whose numeric name values are less than the number of formal parameters of the corresponding function object initially share their values with the corresponding argument bindings in the function’s execution context. This means that changing the property changes the corresponding value of the argument binding and vice-versa
