How to improve page load speed and response times: A comprehensive guide
Minification involves removing unnecessary characters, whitespace, and comments from code files. It helps reduce HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc., file sizes without compromising functionality. Removing redundant elements makes these HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files smaller. Since smaller code files need less internet traffic to transfer, they load faster. Utilizing tools like UglifyJS, Clean-CSS, and HTMLMinifier enhances this process of code reduction. They analyze the code, remove redundant code, and generate optimized files for deployment.

Overview of the next-gen frontend dev tools
There are many minifiers such as terser and uglify. But, because minifying also require to parse the JS, it is actually possible to use esbuild and SWC to minify the code. Here's a benchmark of the main minifiers.

JavaScript and CSS minification.
In my understanding, UglifyJS 3 is the most popular JavaScript minifier tool presently -- it has a very high weekly download too. And as per the official documentation, it supports ES6.

Enhanced noise suppression in Jitsi Meet
I'm thinking reverse-engineered uglified js code (https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS) is not as impenetrable as code from reversed engineered wasm binaries? The element of plausible deniability is much more potent though, for the nefarious actor on the other side.

Fixing for Loops in Go 1.22
The key is that the scoping happens for each iteration, not around the entire loop. That detail is nonobvious, given how many other languages have gotten it wrong, but I wouldn’t say it’s wild.
(If you’re curious how Babel deals with the more complicated cases of continue, break, labelled break, and return, try it out at https://babeljs.io/repl.)

Complete Guide to Authentication in JavaScript
You must have a basic understanding of JavaScript and be familiar with some of the features of ES6, the most recent version of JavaScript, to follow this tutorial. More information is available here if you’re unfamiliar with ES6. If you are more familiar with the older version of JavaScript, you might find the babel REPL more helpful to see how ES6 code is translated.

14-ES6++: Null Coalescing in Javascript
If your project uses a bundler like webpack or rollup, then you can use the nullish coalescing operator in your code. But if you are using a browser, then you should use a transpiler like babel to transpile your code to ES5. You can use babel repl to transpile your code.
