user binary directory or /usr/bin Is used to store user executable applications.

/usr/bin is also used as a look up directory by the shell so when you type a command the operating system will fetch /usr/bin for matching binary files

How to target all elements of a given class name in JavaScript

-
JavaScript getByClassName only targets one element by default Workarounds  "loops " Loops can mess up your code I personally don't like them. To target all elements you will have to iterate through all of them for each element you will have to add a event listener Example For instance the are 3 links of a same class and you want to add event listeners on all of them .... .... .... // JavaScript const links = document.getByClassName("links") for(var i = 0; i < links.length; i++) links[i].addEventListener('click', event => console.log(event.target.get attribute('class')))

How to evaluate a string on a regular expression rule in JavaScript

-
JavaScript has a built in regular expression function for testing if a string arguments is matching the given regular expression rule; Syntax of the regular expression tester is as follows; /regex/.test(string) Take for instance you want to test if a string contains only alphanumeric upper and lower case characters, space and numbers; const str = "Eat code sleep" /[A-Z,a-z,0-9, ]*/.test(str) // returns boolean 'true' Or in another example; const str = "Eat, Code, Sleep" /[A-Z,a-z,0-9, ]*/.test(str) // returns boolean 'false' Because commas are not included in the regular expression match rules.

E2020 dynamic imports in JavaScript

-
Escmascript Is a standard from which JavaScript and typescript are both derived from. ES2020 is out it comes with it new ways of writing JavaScript code. Dynamic imports enable importing dependencies in a rather dynamic way. Initially JavaScript developers were restricted to statically load their dependencies for instance; import { property } from 'dependency' On runtime the JavaScript engine loads the required dependencies and makes them accessible globally. However that is a rigid way of writing code. Dynamic imports are  relatively more flexible therefore you can included them at any segment within your program. For instance if you want to load file system module only if a certain criteria is met you would do as follows; If(process.argv[2] == 'start') Import fs from 'fs' Dynamic imports return a promise use the syntax below to make use of them import('fs') .then(fs => {    // consume module fs })
