A Deep Dive into JavaScript Classes: Static, Public, Private, and Protected

In this blog series, I’ve discussed the core concepts and features of classes in JavaScript. In this final post, we’ll explore an equally important topic: managing the accessibility of properties. According to MDN, The static keyword defines a static method or field for a class, or a static initialization block. Static properties cannot be directly accessed on instances of the class. Instead, they’re accessed on the class itself.MDN Static Methods class MyClass { static sayHi() { console.log("Hi from the class."); } } MyClass.sayHi(); // Hi from the class. const myInstance = new MyClass(); myInstance.sayHi(); // Error: myInstance.sayHi is not a function Enter fullscreen mode Exit

Embedding Portrait Video on Desktop Site

I am trying to embed a portrait Vimeo video ***(Strength Training is Mediation Training)***onto my site, but I don’t want the video to be to big on the desktop version of the site (it looks pretty good on mobile, though!) I thought about making 2 versions of the video (one in portrait and one in landscape) but that I don’t want to do that much editing. My website is https://www.strengthtrainingnj.com Does anyone have any sizing/ coding recomendations? I adjusted height to 50%, but now I have a huge amount of padding at the bottom. I'm at a loss? Thanks in

Good webhosts?

Hi there, I currently have a webhost (Hostrocket) that I’ve had… forever, like 10 years, and I don’t think they even offer webhost packages anymore and I’m just a legacy customer (it’s like $14/mo, don’t even remember the specs, I think it’s fairly unmetered). So apparently a month ago, they cut off external SQL connection access, so unless your database is localhost to the site code itself, you can’t connect to it (I used to be able to use Navicat on my site’s db, but no longer the case. They offer phpmyadmin, but it sucks). This sucks because I felt

Agent – An Open-source and Local Computer Use Operator for macOS

We've just open-sourced Agent, our framework for running computer-use workflows across multiple apps in isolated macOS/Linux sandboxes. Grab the code at https://github.com/trycua/cua After launching Computer a few weeks ago, we realized many of you wanted to run complex workflows that span multiple applications. Agent builds on Computer to make this possible. It works with local Ollama models (if you're privacy-minded) or cloud providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. Why we built this: We kept hitting the same problems when building multi-app AI agents – they'd break in unpredictable ways, work inconsistently across environments, or just fail with complex workflows. So

New Crocodilus malware steals Android users’ crypto wallet keys

A newly discovered Android malware dubbed Crocodilus tricks users into providing the seed phrase for the cryptocurrency wallet using a warning to back up the key to avoid losing access. Although Crocodilus is a new banking malware, it features fully developed capabilities to take control of the device, harvest data, and remote control. Researchers at fraud prevention company ThreatFabric say that the malware is distributed via a proprietary dropper that bypasses Android 13 (and later) security protections. The dropper installs the malware without triggering Play Protect while also bypassing Accessibility Service restrictions. What makes Crocodilus special is that it integrates social engineering to make

Intel’s comeback plan: Panther Lake in 2025, Nova Lake in 2026, says CEO Lip-Bu Tan

Something to look forward to: Lip-Bu Tan has joined Intel as CEO at a pivotal moment, as the semiconductor giant faces significant challenges in regaining its competitive edge. In his first letter to shareholders, Tan laid out a clear vision for Intel’s future, emphasizing a dual focus on product innovation and operational efficiency. His message was unflinching: Intel must simplify its operations, reduce costs, and deliver on its promises to regain its competitive edge in the tech industry. At the core of Tan’s strategy is Intel’s product roadmap, particularly the upcoming Panther Lake and Nova Lake processors, both of which
