Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
If you'd like to do something every 10 seconds, you'd do something like this (or rather, use setInterval
instead):
function something() {
// ...
setTimeout(something, 10 * 1000)
}
// kick it off
something()
But if you'd like to do something approximately every 10s:
var approx = require('approx')
function something() {
// ...
setTimeout(something, approx(10 * 1000))
}
// kick it off
something()
This will run something()
approximately every 10 seconds. ie. it will run somewhere between 5 and 15 seconds,
determined by Math.random()
.
Currently there is only one algorithm included in this package but could be expanded to provide more in the future.

FAQs
Give me an approximate number around this one (for setTimeout/setInterval etc).
We found that approx demonstrated a not healthy version release cadence and project activity because the last version was released a year ago. It has 1 open source maintainer collaborating on the project.
