Echo JS 0.11.0

Definitely not a great article... as it is, the Unicode character and surrogate detection isn't great, and even then doesn't really work right with the regexp for non-unicode surrogates.  The notation of byte length should probably be a blurb and jump right into the Unicode detection, surrogates being another, related issue, and even then, it's problematic at best.

Not to mention the benchmark at the end is kind of useless and doesn't include the Unicode aware methods.  Also, no mention of UCS-16 vs UTF-8 or other Unicode demarkation with strings in JS.

Definitely click-bait.

No benchmarks for the Unicode methods, which I suspect would be the desired results...  The format of the article seems to spend too much effort on getting the byte length of a string, which is not the characters in a string.

Definitely off topic... legality is murky, it's likely a TOS violation, which could rub against CFAA for US users.

Wish theses were up on the YouTube channel... looks like the live streams are there, but separated videos would be nice.  Hopefully TBD.  I generally watch stuff like this in the Living Room via YT or other services.

Cool, but Off Topic.

Pricing, seems out of line with other, similar books.  It's more expensive than some of the larger, more comprehensive books from O'Reilly.  Haven't read the book, and at the price, not sure that I'm willing to be the first with no existing reviews on Amazon.

Seems to be a marketing gimmick more than a useful resource.

Would be cool to see something like this integrated with Squoosh

Not surprised that for-loop was fastest followed by reduce.
