From humble beginnings, Apache Kafka steadily rose to prominence and now sits as the backbone of data streaming for thousands of organizations worldwide. From its robust API, cloud-native implementations like Confluent Cloud, and synergy with other technologies like Apache Flink, Kafka has grown to cover many use cases across a broad range of industries.

Random numbers are used in many programming scenarios, from game development and simulations to UUID generation. For that, JavaScript provides built-in methods to work with random numbers. In this post, we’ll explore different ways to generate random numbers in JavaScript, from the simple to the advanced. So, let’s begin!

It’s a vague, unhelpful message that feels more like a riddle than an error. You know something doesn’t belong, but you're left guessing what that "token" is and why it's unexpected. Let's demystify what’s really going on behind the scenes and get your code running smoothly again. The "SyntaxError: Unexpected token" in JavaScript occurs when the code contains a character or symbol that the JavaScript engine does not expect, often due to a typo or syntax mistake.

Reddit is a news aggregation, communication, and discussion application. If you want to get more information about a particular topic or have a question, Reddit is the place to be. The data on Reddit are provided to the public through both the website and its API. Learning how to use the Reddit API is beneficial if you want to integrate Reddit communications into your application or if you just want to use certain data on Reddit.

In JavaScript, errors are only detected during runtime. Therefore, it is impossible to get compile-time errors when building JavaScript applications. There are several reasons an app might encounter a JavaScript exception: invalid input, server error, syntax errors, or errors in the application logic. In this article, we will dig into exception handling in JavaScript so that when your app encounters errors, it affects users as little as possible.

Imagine you're at a buffet, eagerly approaching what you think is the dessert table, only to find an empty space where the chocolate cake should be. That disappointing moment? That's pretty much what happens in your code when you encounter the infamous "Cannot read properties of undefined" error. Just as you can't slice a piece of cake that isn't there, JavaScript can't read a property of an object that doesn't exist. But don't worry!

You've just stumbled into one of the most common jQuery pitfalls. The "jquery is not defined" error is a JavaScript ReferenceError that occurs when your script tries to use jQuery functions or methods, but the jQuery library is not properly loaded or initialized. How did this happen? Probably one of three reasons: Let’s start with the last reason as that’s the easiest to fix.

Jest and Vitest are two well-known JavaScript testing frameworks, each with its own strengths. Jest, created by Facebook, is especially popular for React applications. It provides a "zero-config" setup, built-in code coverage reporting, and snapshot testing, making it a complete solution for many JavaScript projects. Vitest, a newer framework in the Vite ecosystem, is known for its speed and lightweight design. Using Vite’s dev server, Vitest performs very well, especially in larger projects.

If you've encountered the "document is not defined" error while working with JavaScript, you're not alone. This common error can be frustrating, but it's usually straightforward to resolve once you understand its causes. Let's explore what this error means, why it occurs, and how to fix it.

The Javascript error TypeError: "x" is not a function occurs when there is an attempt to call a function on an object, which is not actually a function. To illustrate using an analogy, imagine you're in a kitchen following a recipe. The recipe says to use a blender to blend certain ingredients together but you accidentally use a juicer. When you try to blend with a juicer, it doesn't work properly since blending is not a function of the juicer.
