Really not looking forward to the idea of github.io links all becoming dead. So many repos with documentation at a github.io URL, with those links spread all across plaintext files and Stack Overflow and forums

To avoid sea ice, they entered an area they are legally allowed to enter… okay

In British supermarkets, they often don’t even put the beans on shelves. Instead they have stacked palettes of them, because they need to restock so often it’d be inefficient to have to unpack and shelve them.

Are you American though? Here in the UK, nobody really owns a plunger and they don’t need to, the plumbing is different, it doesn’t clog. Do need to own a toilet brush though, to wipe off the skidmarks, which is more rare in the US.

Those names were chosen because they stereotypically fit these people, like Karen does a Karen. But popular names and connotations change over time. I feel like Stacy is a name befitting of an older person now than originally intended for the memes. I wonder if we’re going to collectively keep these names locked in time, or rename them ever

No chance I’m getting a username this simple on most platforms

I’m having fun ☹️

Not a car, but I’ve got a bicycle light that does this. Turns on when it’s dark and also when you brake. So definitely possible

Haha, most people here do tech it seems. Well, me too.

People seem to think I’d be good at maths and my entire job is like maths. I’m not and I don’t view it that way. There’s a lot of problem solving and engineering, but I find it very creative and expressive

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

The whole document is a pretty funny read actually

"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

I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though

On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam

Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.

Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.

Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.

Threativore

Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely

Watch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services… the phone does not lock

Not sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do

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