PrefaceRecently, while using WebSocket (WS) connections, we encountered frequent disconnection issues, occurring hundreds of times per day for a single user. Although using the auto-reconnect feature of socket.io allowed us to quickly restore connections after disconnections, it did not guarantee that every reconnection would successfully receive WS messages. Therefore, we conducted several investigations and tests.Ultimately, we identified the root cause of the issue: the browser's power-saving mechanism, which inadvertently became the culprit behind the problem.Overview of Browser Power-Savi...

Is there a most popular color among humans as a group?While the answer to this question depends on the definition of "most popular," there is an objective way to consider it: by looking at what color of cars sells the best.The color that has the highest sales in the car market indicates the public's strong preference for that color. Last week, a U.S. automotive website released the ranking of colors for all new cars sold in the U.S. in 2023.The result showed that shades of gray are the most popular, specifically various mixes of black and white, including four main colors: white, black, gray, ...

Heuristic cacheHeuristic caching is the default behavior of browser caching (i.e., for responses without Cache-Control), which is not simply "not caching", but implicitly caching based on the so-called "heuristic cache". HTTP is designed to cache as much as possible, so even if Cache-Control is not specified, the response will be stored and reused if certain conditions are met. This is called heuristic caching.HTTP/1.1 200 OKContent-Type: text/htmlContent-Length: 1024Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2022 22:22:22 GMTLast-Modified: Tue, 22 Feb 2021 22:22:22 GMTCache durationThe formula for calculating the cac...

JavaScript's success can be attributed to at least four key figures:Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScriptDouglas Crockford, the creator of JSLint and JSONJohn Resig, the creator of jQueryRyan Dahl, the creator of Node.js.We are already very familiar with Brendan Eich and the invention process of JavaScript, so let's start with Douglas Crockford, the second in command of JavaScript.AllianceIn the 1990s, Microsoft's dominance overshadowed the whole world.At this time, two challengers emerged, one was the IT giant Sun, and the other was the IT upstart Netscape.Sun believed that Java programs co...

ClosureThe official definition of closure is: an expression (usually a function) that has many variables and is bound to an environment that includes those variables.In JavaScript, closure refers to the ability of a function to access the lexical scope in which it was defined, even after the function has been executed and left that scope. This ability is due to the fact that when a function is created, it generates a closure that includes a reference to the definition environment of the current function, allowing the function to continue to access those variables within that environment.Below ...

In JavaScript, deep clone means creating a brand new object that includes all nested objects, with all properties being completely independent copies. This is different from shallow copying, which only copies the first-level properties, with nested objects being referenced rather than copied.There are multiple ways to perform deep copying in JavaScript, but the best one to use depends on the specific use case.Can use JSON.parse & JSON.stringify? ❌JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(obj)) is a depth cloning method that uses JSON serialization to create an object. It works for objects that do not co...
