safari-web-extension-converter error

$ xcrun safari-web-extension-converter
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "safari-web-extension-converter", not a developer tool or in PATH

Do this first:

sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app

TypeScript Object is possibly undefined

   .
   .
   .
   
   newHzl[hanzi].pinyin = newHzl[hanzi].pinyin.filter(eachPinyin => pinyinEnglish[eachPinyin]);
} // for loop   

That yields this error:

error: TS2532 [ERROR]: Object is possibly 'undefined'.
        newHzl[hanzi].pinyin = newHzl[hanzi].pinyin.filter(

Got a similar error code on following code, and removed the error by checking if a variable has nothing, if nothing then skip(continue)

for (const [hanzi, { pinyinEnglish }] of Object.entries(hzl)) {
    if (!pinyinEnglish) {
        continue;
    }
    
    for (const pinyin of Object.keys(pinyinEnglish)) {
        if (pinyinEnglish[pinyin].length === 0) {
            delete pinyinEnglish[pinyin];
        }
    }
    
    .
    .
    .    

I tried to do the same solution on the post's first code, but it still yields a compile error of Object is possibly 'undefined'

	.
    .
    .
    
    if (!newHzl[hanzi].pinyin) {
        continue;
    }

    newHzl[hanzi].pinyin = newHzl[hanzi].pinyin.filter(eachPinyin => pinyinEnglish[eachPinyin]);
} // for loop    

The workaround is to introduce a variable so the compiler will not have a hard time inferring the code's control flow:

    .
    .
    .

    const hanziPinyin = newHzl[hanzi].pinyin;
    if (!hanziPinyin) {
        continue;
    }

    newHzl[hanzi].pinyin = hanziPinyin.filter(eachPinyin => pinyinEnglish[eachPinyin]);
} // for loop   

The problem went away

JavaScript splitKeep

Helper function for split keep. Reference: https://medium.com/@shemar.gordon32/how-to-split-and-keep-the-delimiter-s-d433fb697c65

String.prototype.splitKeep = function (tokens) {
    const escaped = escapeRegExp(tokens);
    return this.split(new RegExp(`(?=[${escaped}])|(?<=[${escaped}])`, 'g'));
};

// Use a good one for the meantime https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3115150/how-to-escape-regular-expression-special-characters-using-javascript
function escapeRegExp(text) {
    return text.replace(/[-[\]{}()*+?.,\\^$|#\s]/g, "\\$&");

Handling both single click and double click in JavaScript

HTML and CSS:

<hr/>
<div id="good">Click or double click me</div>


<style>
#something, #good {
  background-color: lemonchiffon;

Toggling boolean without using global variable

<div id='_form'>

<div id='_preview' style='display: none'>
    Preview

<button id='_toggle'>
   Toggle

<script>
window._toggle.onclick = () => previewFormInputs();
// can also do the following instead of the above
/* window._toggle.onclick = previewFormInputs; */

function setElementVisibility(element, visible) {
    element.style.display = visible ? 'inherit' : 'none';
}

let _previewVisible = false;
function previewFormInputs() {
    _previewVisible = !_previewVisible;

    setElementVisibility(window._preview, _previewVisible);

The code above can be improved by combining both the action and the state _previewVisible

<div id='_form'>
    Form Inputs
</div>
 
<div id='_preview' style='display: none'>
    Preview
</div>
 
<button id='_toggle'>
   Toggle
</button>
 
<script>
window._toggle.onclick = () => previewFormInputs();
// can also do the following instead of the above
// _stats.onclick = previewFormInputs;
 
function setElementVisibility(element, visible) {
    element.style.display = visible ? 'inherit' : 'none';
}
 
const previewFormInputs = (function () {
    let previewVisible = false;
     
    return function () {
        previewVisible = !previewVisible;
        setElementVisibility(window._form, !previewVisible);
        setElementVisibility(window._preview, previewVisible);
    }   
})();
</script>

Do not be driven nuts by multiple nots

Multiple nots. Complex
    firstname != 'Juan' || lastname != 'Cruz'
English-speak: 
    If your firstname is not Juan or your lastname is not Cruz, therefore you are not Juan Cruz

Don't use the above, it has multiple nots. Use this:

Single not, simple. Translates well to English:
    !(firstname == 'Juan' && lastname == 'Cruz')
English-speak (reading from inside out): 
    If you are Juan Cruz, then don't.
English-speak (reading from left to right): 
    If you are not Juan Cruz, then do.
Postgres tuple test:
    (firstname, lastname) != ('Juan', 'Cruz')
Languages without tuple:
    firstname + ' ' + lastname != 'Juan Cruz'

**Schema (PostgreSQL v13)**

    create table person(firstname text, lastname text);
    
    insert into person(firstname, lastname) values
    ('Juan', 'Cruz'),
    ('Juan', 'Buen'),
    ('Michael', 'Cruz'),
    ('Michael', 'Buen');

**Query #1**

    select
        firstname, lastname,
        
        firstname != 'Juan' or lastname != 'Cruz' as test1,
        not (firstname = 'Juan' and lastname = 'Cruz') as test2,
        
        (firstname, lastname) != ('Juan', 'Cruz') as test3,
        (firstname || ' ' || lastname) != 'Juan Cruz' as test4
        
    from 
    	person;

| firstname | lastname | test1 | test2 | test3 | test4 |
| --------- | -------- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- |
| Juan      | Cruz     | false | false | false | false |
| Juan      | Buen     | true  | true  | true  | true  |

Intl.Segmenter

It would be awesome if Intl.Segmenter is perfect. For the meantime, retokenize the words that should not be together

function tokenizeZH(text) {
    const segmenter = new Intl.Segmenter('zh', { granularity: 'word' });
    const segments = segmenter.segment(text);

    const words = [];
    for (const { segment /* , index, isWordLike */ } of segments) {
        words.push(segment);
    }

    return words;
}

console.log(tokenizeZH('我不是太清楚'));

Live: https://jsfiddle.net/rgqen1zc/
Output:

["我不是", "太", "清楚"]
