The Roots of Complacency by Dr. J. Allen Hynek

Something truly astonishing happened.... Not far from New York City, along the Hudson Valley, as hundreds of astonished people looked up, many driving along the Taconic Parkway, they saw something no one had ever seen before. Some called it a "Space-ship from outer space" (for want of anything better) but it was generally described by numbers of competent, professional persons as startlingly brilliant lights, in the form of a "V", or Boomerang, silent, slowly-moving, and very large close-by object. It has often popularly been called the "Westchester (County) Boomerang".

The world has never known about this, even though the event happened not once but several times, and over the course of several years. To all intents and purposes, this was a non-event. The media across the world has remained dumb. Local papers, radios and TV's, it is true, did momentarily carry spots along

Implementing Protected Members in JavaScript Classes

Introduction

In many object-oriented languages, the concept of protected members allows properties and methods to be accessible within the class they are defined, as well as by subclasses. JavaScript, however, does not natively support protected members. This article introduces a novel approach to simulate protected access in JavaScript classes using symbols and private fields.

The Challenge

JavaScript provides private fields, but they are not accessible to any derived classes. This limitation means that developers cannot use private fields to directly implement protected members, which are a staple in many other object-oriented languages.

One Solution

The solution involves using symbols as keys for protected properties and methods, ensuring that only the class and its subclasses have access to them. This is achieved by:

Simplify Bash Locking: Your Decorator for Safe Scripting

Hey, scripter! Need to make your Bash functions play nice in the concurrency sandbox? You're in luck!

with_lock is your go-to decorator. It ensures specified functions run one at a time, even across multiple script instances. 🤖

Caveats

It's mostly FIFO (first in, first out), but occasionally things get a bit mixed. 🤷‍♀️
