Hello fellow developer, this time we have lots of software and tool updates, you learn how to delete your data from Google, download MS DOS and learn how sad a state the web would be without women inventors.
News and Articles
Lots happening again this week. Node.js 22 is out with require() behind a flag.
We collect tons of links every week and only a few get featured. This is why we now have a WeAreDevelopers Dev Digest Link Archive where you can look up all the links we collected and share them on social media with a copy button.
The links are sorted by category and you can search for the Dev Digest number to filter them. We will write up how we did the archive soon on the magazine.
When using new URL() and adding an invalid string, the JS engine throws an error. This is bad, as you need to wrap it in a try…catch to avoid breaking your code completely. One workaround is to use URL.canParse(str) && new URL(str) but soon we can use a new API method called URL.parse() to avoid that issue.
