What is the JS Event Loop and Call Stack?

Regular Event Loop

This shows the execution order given JavaScript's Call Stack, Event Loop, and any asynchronous APIs provided in the JS execution environment (in this example; Web APIs in a Browser environment)

Luhn algorithm in Javascript. Check valid credit card numbers
// Takes a credit card string value and returns true on valid number
function valid_credit_card(value) {
// Accept only digits, dashes or spaces
if (/[^0-9-\s]+/.test(value)) return false;
// The Luhn Algorithm. It's so pretty.
let nCheck = 0, bEven = false;
value = value.replace(/\D/g, "");
for (var n = value.length - 1; n >= 0; n--) {

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

a Mersenne Twister implementation in javascript. Makes up for Math.random() not letting you specify a seed value.
/*
I've wrapped Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura's code in a namespace
so it's better encapsulated. Now you can have multiple random number generators
and they won't stomp all over eachother's state.
If you want to use this as a substitute for Math.random(), use the random()
method like so:
var m = new MersenneTwister();

* Better handling of scripts without supplied ids.

* N.B. Be sure to include Google Analytics's _gaq and Facebook's fbAsyncInit prior to this function.
