The Strange Behavior of the void Type in TypeScript
PrefaceIn TypeScript (TS), there is a type called void. It represents "nothing" but it's important to note that it's not the same as "nothing" in JavaScript(JS).Typically, void is used to declare the return type of functions. Although you can declare a variable as void, we generally don't do this because it serves no meaningful purpose. Let's explore why in the examples below.The void TypeDeclaring a Variable as voidlet name: void; // Declare a variable `name` with type `void`.name = 'nanjiu'; // Error: Cannot assign type 'string' to type 'void'.name = 18; // Error: Cannot assign type 'number'...

Event Loop Mechanism in JavaScript
IntroductionThe Event Loop MechanismThe event loop mechanism is the core of how JavaScript handles asynchronous operations. It ensures that the execution order of the code aligns with the expected sequence.JavaScript's Single ThreadJavaScript is known for being a single-threaded language, meaning it executes one task at a time. This can lead to a significant issue: if a thread is blocked, the entire program becomes unresponsive. To address this, JavaScript introduced the event loop mechanism. This mechanism allows JavaScript to handle asynchronous operations while executing tasks, thus improvi...

The Pitfall of WebSocket Disconnections Caused by Browser Power-Saving Mechanisms
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...

How long does the heuristic cache of the browser actually cache?
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...
