• Podcast: Steve Keen: Marxism, Capitalism, and Economics | Lex Fridman Podcast #303
• Added a simple feedback form to Random Generator Tool . Have to change the presentation, as most people complain about the content of the table they are currently using.
  • Added a feature to copy a random generator, as most people request more options in the tables they are using.
• Read the documentation of SeaweedFS. Hopefully I find some time to play with it a bit.
• Fix even small inconsistencies in your lower layers immedieatly. The cost of removing them grows exponentially over time and depth!
• Started a project to learn some Go: A simple (social) blogging application.
• Debugged a TypeScript test suite which fails because it runs out of memory:
  • ts-jest has a memory leak. https://github.com/kulshekhar/ts-jest/issues/1967
  • setting isolatedModules: true reduced the memory consumption, but didn't solve the problem. https://github.com/kulshekhar/ts-jest/issues/1967#issuecomment-1017510990
  • Used @typescript-eslint/no-floating-promises to find promises which were not awaited.
  • Running Jest with --logHeapUsage showed that each test suite increased the heap size by ~50 MB
    • full command: node --expose-gc ./node_modules/.bin/jest --runInBand --forceExit --logHeapUsage
  • Using @swc/jest instead of jest-ts
