I was tinkering with pdf.js and pdf-lib. I was trying to see what open source free technologies can do. Then I thought of how efficient it would be to move the main computation of working with pdf-lib and pdf.js to a web worker. I did a small test. I created a small html file that places a select file input control on the UI and a div to hold images....
When I first heard that AI will replace software developers soon, I thought it could not have been true as it is just a large language model as of now and not so much of an ‘intelligence’ in any sense or form. Turns out, I was both right and wrong. It is trained well enough to support a developer but not to operate independently with simple instructions. So, it will take over a few people’s jobs, but that would be of the low-skilled software developers who only get to make a couple of small modules in the product at best....
I like working on my own mini-projects in my free time. Some of them are libraries or extensions and others are websites. The libraries or extensions are distributed from their own package manager of browser web store which keep a track of all the downloads from across the world.

How does your usual variable declaration look like? Like this, right? const INTEREST_RATE = 20; // global const declaration and initialization var principleAmount; // global var declaration function calculateInterest() { principleAmount = 10000; // global var value assignment var timePeriod = 1; // local function scoped var declaration and initialization return principleAmount*INTEREST_RATE*timePeriod/100; } Do you know the difference between the above and below code snippet? const INTEREST_RATE = 20; // global const declaration and initialization var principleAmount; // global var declaration function calculateInterest() { principleAmount = 10000; // global var value assignment timePeriod = 1; // <-- GLOBAL variable initialization without declaration return principleAmount*INTEREST_RATE*timePeriod/100; } Did you notice that var is missing behind timePeriod?...
