Good Work is Hard To Find

By -
Recently had my teeth whitened, and my two front (non-vital) teeth fixed with a chairside veneer. From where my teeth were at, the Dentist did an awesome job. I'd been wanting to do this for about 15 years now. And in finally able to do so, I just wanted to pay tribute to a job well done by Dr. Lide in Richardson, TX.

My Review of Dr Lide and his staff

Memory Recall: An Interview Thought

By -
At least a few hundred JavaScript algorithm challenges after taking Harvard's CS50 course, I realized that I use (my brain uses) a "trie" type of knowledge retrieval approach, as compared to someone who can do more of a "dictionary" type of memory lookup. That is, my recall works better when I'm creating and analyzing code (e.g., surrounded by context).

For instance, if I come across a need for the "spread operator", I may need to look up a quick example for syntax reference, but I know I can use it and I will put it to use. Or I may devise another method that may work out better long term, considering the potential future expansion of that particular code. Or I may just prefer another approach (e.g., I prefer `slice()` and `concat()` for copying arrays (but would always go with whatever coding guide I'm working with, if any)).

Anecdotal disclaimer: Using unfamiliar functionality can take me a half dozen trial and error attempts, but I always …

Pros and Cons of Visual Studio Code vs. Sublime Text 3

Pros and Cons of Visual Studio Code vs. Sublime Text 3Below are personal observations with the VS Code editor as compared to the Sublime Text editor. VS Code: A lightweight IDE Visual Studio Code (VS Code) Sublime Text: A customizable code editor Sublime Text 3.0 (ST3) VS Code: Pro and ConsPro: TypeScript insights are excellent (ST3 insights don't work well at all). Pro: Referential integrity. Con: Bracket-matching cursor sucks, no matter which option I choose. The small thick underscore gave me the least headache, but eventually had to turn them off completely. Con: Pg-Up and Pg-Down scroll the cursor, not the page (inconsistent with most other apps). Con: Insert (overwrite) doesn't work. Con: Can never remember the recent files I actually need; even when just closed. Con: File menu isn't native (no keyboard left/right menu switching). ResultsUse VS Code for my React + TypeScript projects; for its TypeScript insights. Use ST3 for everything else due to its lightweightednes…

TypeError: Undefined: Redux 4

Redux 4 > createStore > compose The ErrorTypeError: Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined [node_modules/redux/es/redux.js:523] The Problem and Solution If you've gone through a tutorial in which they suggest adding the Redux Dev Tools in your store.js like this:

window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ && window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__() But they're using it inside of a compose(), you could receive a Type Error for an undefined when the extension is not enabled (or present). The correct way to implement the Redux Dev Tools within a compose is as follows:

window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION_COMPOSE__ || compose I learned this the hard way, and was eventually brought rescue from GitHub user [zalmoxisus]. zalmoxisus also references the docs for this: [1.2 Advanced store setup (middleware and enhancers)] Code Extract from [store.js] compose( applyMiddleware(...middleware), window.__REDUX_DEVTOOLS_EXTENSION__ &…
