Andrea Giammarchi WebReflection

I've found it quite "disturbing" in 2026 there are APIs that wouldn't use Promise and accept a last argument as function to retrieve data, see: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwebchannel-javascript.html#interacting-with-qobjects

Here an easy way to workaround that, where equality of the method is preserved and things would look more modern or easier to reason about.

const { apply } = Reflect;
const { create } = Object;

const wm = new WeakMap;

Given these preferences within the extension:

Be sure that IBus Preferences around Emoji won't intercept/override <Super>period

Remove the bindings that you don't prefer/need over the Emoji Copy picker and enjoy 👋

This gist comes after my comment left in the original post.

The pattern is great but the way it was presented not too great:

it's all about queue ownership
the queue cannot iterate in multiple loops because it would create forever pending promises all over
the queue is just an Array after all, so how about we treat it as such?

A class based approach

TextEncoder & TextDecoder shenanigans

This gist is to remind developers that resizable or growable buffers don't play nice with TextEncoder or TextDecoder instances.

Setup

// setup
const ref = new TextEncoder().encode("hello");

This is a simple demo of how latest Bun could've implemented .as(Class) instead of using the quite jurassic Object.create which is slow, bloated due descriptors logic, if used at all, and incapable to play nicely with features introduced after Object.create was even specified.

// what `as(Class)` should return
const { assign } = Object;
const asClass = new WeakMap;
const setAsClass = Class => {
  class As extends Class {
    constructor(fields) {
      assign(super(), fields);

Proxy Traps Cheat Sheet

There are various shenanigans around the Proxy API, including issues with Array.isArray and Object.ownKeys so that this gits purpose is to describe all the undocummented caveats to help anyone dealing with all possibilities this half-doomed API offers.

The 3 + 1 Proxy Types

object: any non primitive value can be proxied but apply and construct traps won't work with it. If the object somehow wants to represent an array without being one, it's impossible to survive Array.isArray brand check (it will be false) and with ownKeys the target needs to have a non configurable length property or it will also fails once reached
array: it's like object but it survives the `

I've saved this file as /usr/local/bin/new-tab but I think there is a way to configure it as Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut somehow, yet I really wanted to write this down as I've lost 20 minutes of my life to have WSL behaving just like any regular Linux distro in a console/terminal.

This gist is a simple no-brainer description of the 3 ways (actually 2.5) the Web handle events.

`<tag onclick />`

The declarative inline HTML event listener is mostly an indirection of DOM Level 0 events, meaning this simply uses the equivalent of tag.onclick = listener behind the scene.
