CODESANDBOX ODDITIES

Code Sandbox oddities observed while working on LogicRoom exercises

codesandbox.io does its best to give the impression of a locally running environment, but the abstraction is sometimes a bit leaky. Here's some weirdness (with possible fixes)

Delayed execution of console.log

The console.log statement is actually proxied via a server and executed at a later stage. That sometimes results in weird behaviours, as the value of some field on an object can be different when it is printed than when it was logged ... The fix is making something like this and using that instead:

VirtualBox only supports the x86 platform, so the default installation instructions for Vagrant does not work on Apple silicon. Thankfully Vagrant has a VMWare Provider (more on providers here), and so if I can get VMWare running on my M1 MacBook, I should be able to run Vagrant as well!

These are my notes during figuring this out.

Get the VMWare Tech Preview released in September 2021!

We are in luck, as VMWare released this just a few weeks ago.

/* 
  This is a typical example of a codebase I inherited 😭 
  I mean, where do I even start ... 
  - direct DOM manipulation
  - toggling display: none instead of not rendering, ...
  - unclear data paths and constant heavy lookups
  
  Oh, are you surprised that this stinking pile of shit is full of bugs? Me neither.

Rename kebab-case files to PascalCase and vice versa
----------------------------------------------------

- Check the `require()` calls for what to `npm install`
- If you need to modify something else than `*.js` files, just modify the `find` command somewhat

True Group Hacks

Hvor mange har ikke irritert seg grønn over at det er 317 uleste meldinger i TrueGroups når man logger inn, vel vitende om at man allerede har lest disse på epost? Det finnes jo dessverre ingen "Merk alle som lest" funksjonalitet, så da må man lage det sjøl :)

Dette skriptet finnes nå som eget prosjekt her: https://github.com/fatso83/truegroupshacks
