The oddest spelling of “colourize”, with both a U and a Z

Oh that makes sense. I didn’t consider it might be treated as a char

"1" + 2 === "12" is not unique to JS (sans the requirement for the third equals sign), it’s a common feature of multiple strongly typed languages. imho it’s fine.

EDIT: I did some testing:

What it works in:

• JS
• TS
• Java
• C#
• C++
• Kotlin
• Groovy
• Scala
• PowerShell

What produces a number, instead of a string:

• PHP
• SQL
• Perl
• VB
• Lua

What it doesn’t work in:

• R
• C
• Go
• Swift
• Rust
• Python
• Pascal
• Ruby
• Objective C
• Julia
• Fortran
• Ada
• Dart
• D
• Elixir

And MATLAB appears to produce 51, wtf idk

Yes, it simply represents the leverage Israel holds over the US.

So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.

The sort of comeback so good you think of it later on and write a comic, wishing you’d said it at the time

Usually they’re building the website with browserlist and polyfills, and they specify how old a browser they wish to support, usually by analysing percentages of public usage, or they allow types only supported in newer browsers. Meaning if they use a feature only available in newer browsers, then it won’t be automatically backported to support older browsers.

But that’s only if they actually use those features, they’re just available to them. And it’ll only break in those places they do use them, which could be quite little of the site.

So often it’s just “we can’t guarantee it’ll work in your old browser and enough of our users use newer browsers that we’ll block you and not care”.

The AI’s having a hard time deciding what’s inside the bird cage and what isn’t, though it did better than I would’ve expected

They’re hardly any more dangerous than a website. They’re predominantly just more convenient to use regularly. Should we ban internet browsing too?!

One of my problems is that I often do get work done, just the wrong work. I can’t bring myself to do the work I’m supposed to be doing, and end up doing doing something I wasn’t supposed to do, but at least it’s still work I guess

Okay fuck, you got me

== is a heathen with no rightful place except equality to null. All praise ===

People equate maths to programming, but I think if it more as a creative, problem solving field. Most real world coding problems don’t have a precise single correct way to solve them; it’s more like architecting a building: you have multiple goals and a lot of freedom in how you achieve them and to what degree

Guess that settles the debate, we got to pronounce it “sequel” then to optimally match syllables

Yes, but I think always my right foot. Literally right now. But also I probably don’t have autism

I don’t have adblock on my work computer. I don’t want it interfering with webdev and I’ve found it to do so in the past. But it’s interesting, the dichotomy between sites I use as development resources vs the rest of the web. My phone and home computer are unbearable without adblock, but on my work computer, the ads are hardly noticeable really.

There’s over 30 Mexican restaurant results for my city at 1% the population of Tokyo. Sounds like it’s pretty lacking to me

With a little knowledge, it’s not very hard to make your own messaging app and share it with those you know. And there’s plenty projects online that give you what you need without having to write the code yourself. Alternatively, there’s just plenty dark web and under the radar apps already that won’t bend to this ruling.

What it is, though, is very inconvenient and annoying to do so.

But if you’re an actual criminal, then there is this solution here that can never be subject to this ruling.

So what this clearly means is that the EU will violate the privacy of all the everyday people that don’t handle that inconvenience, pushing the serious criminals to dark channels.

There’s a bunch of words spelt annoyingly because those bastard scholars decided they’d like to incorporate the historic roots of words, rather than the reality of words, in their spelling.

I have to write powershell scripts and bash scripts at work. I hear people saying bash is great, powershell is bad, all the time in public, but honestly I feel like these people have barely actually written powershell. It’s a bit wordy, but it feels much more intuitive to me, much more akin to regular programming languages.
