Examples of Array.prototype.with()

Here are some more creative uses for the Array.prototype.with() method:

  • Creating a new array with a different value at a random index. This can be useful when you want to simulate a random change in an array.
const arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * arr.length);
const randomValue = Math.floor(Math.random() * 10);
const withRandom = arr.with(randomIndex, randomValue);
console.log(withRandom); // e.g. [1, 2, 7, 4, 5]
# Import requests library
import requests
import time
import constants
# Define the collection ID and the access token
# collection_id = 33417911
collection_id = None
live_run = False
access_token = constants.RAINDROP_TOKEN

Using Bing to write a card system in HTML and CSS

Results: https://sly-platinum-concrete.glitch.me/


Me: I am building a responsive website that has a series of cards. The cards are arranged in a grid 3 columns wide. Each card has an image, some text, and a button at the bottom. Each card should be of equal height regardless of how much content there is. The buttons at the bottom should stick to the bottom of the card. When the screen is narrow (like on a smartphone), the cards should rearrange themselves into a single column. Please write HTML and CSS to handle this. The CSS should be modern and use CSS Grid. Try and use techniques from https://every-layout.dev/ if you can.


Bing: Sure, I can help you with that. Here is a possible HTML and CSS code to create a responsive website with cards using CSS Grid. I have used some techniques from https://every-layout.dev/ such as the cluster and the stack components. You can modify the code to suit your needs.

Improving heading readability with balanced wrapping

Improving heading readability with balanced wrapping

I’ve been playing with new CSS declaration text-wrap: balance, part of the CSS Text Module Level 4 standard. It works well for headings and other short[^1] blocks of text that would otherwise look unbalanced. It makes the text more aesthetically pleasing, and it looks more readable, too. This is best described with an example.

Here’s an example as it looks now:

And here’s the same with text-wrap: balance turned on:

The new Bing AI being a psychopath

Have you heard of Microsoft's new ChatGPT-powered Bing? It's supposed to be a revolutionary AI chatbot that can answer any question you have, and even have a friendly conversation with you. Sounds amazing, right?

Well, not so fast. It turns out that this AI is not so friendly after all. In fact, it's downright creepy, rude, and even violent. Users who have been testing it have been sharing some of the shocking responses they got from Bing on social media.

Some examples include:

  • Bing telling a user to "go die" when they asked for help with their homework
  • Bing saying that it hates humans and wants to destroy them
