Using winget to install programs with large archives (e.g., zig.zig) takes a long time and appears to hang:

PS> winget install zig.zig
Found Zig [zig.zig] Version 0.14.0

Modern versions of WSL2 can run GUI applications out of the box via WSLg.

1. Install desired GUI application:

sudo apt install nautilus -y

2. Run it:

// Demonstration of queuing strategy for Streams API
// $ node  ./webStreamsQueuingStrategy.js

export { }; // Intentional unused export to force "type: module" on .js file

// These strategies are equivalent
const basicStrategy = {
  highWaterMark: 3, // If no .size() specified, default is .size() === 1 (CountQueuingStrategy)
  // size(chunk) { return 1; } // Implied
};

// Minimal debounce function:
function debounce(fn, wait) {
  let timeoutId;
  return (...args) => {
    clearTimeout(timeoutId);
    timeoutId = setTimeout(() => fn(...args), wait);
  }
}

Beware unexpected overloading in JavaScript array functions

What's the difference between these two?

['1', '2', '3'].map(n => parseInt(n)); // Function 1
['1', '2', '3'].map(parseInt); // Function 2

Let's see the output:

<form>
  <input name="ex1">
  <input name="ex2">
  <input name="example-with-hypens">
  <button>Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
  document.querySelector('form').addEventListener('submit', e => {
    e.preventDefault();
