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:
What produces a number, instead of a string:
What it doesn’t work in:
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.
Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely
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.
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
If the system is such that it warrants periodic relieving, doesn’t that signify it probably deserves permanent overhaul so it isn’t possible to need to borrow so much in the first place
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”.
Time is weird. I’ve changed things up a lot in the past few years and I’m having much more fun. The few years before that seem like nothing. But now time is simultaneously so much faster (I guess more exciting, dragging less), yet so much longer (I guess many more unique memories).
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
It’s scary how accurate they can predict you with what data they have; they don’t need to tap your microphone.
You’re on a OnePlus; there’s always a status bar icon if the microphone is active.
Think of what led to your conversation? Everything related to it you saw or searched online that could’ve later triggered you to talk about the subject, could also trigger them to serve you ads about it later. Perhaps your friend was the one, and the ad companies have linked you together, ie. by tracking your location and contacts.
And now you’ve noticed the adverts, you’ll notice them much more, where you’d normally ignore them completely. Furthermore, if you noticed these ads, you might’ve clicked them or stopped scrolling and stared at them too long in a wtf moment and now the ad companies know, so they’ll serve you a whole lot more of the same.
Raise prices at peak times? ✅💰
Lower prices ever? ❌📈
Properly done dynamic pricing rewards customers with cheap prices for going at off-peak times, and the opposite on-peak. However this form of “surge pricing” is really just price gouging under another label
I’m very saddened she shows these strong hateful opinions now. The books and films were so much a part of my childhood and I still really enjoy the whole world they’ve created. And watching her earlier interviews, she seemed like a nice, interesting, smart, softly spoken person, with a love for my city. Also through indirect personal relations, she was quite kind to us.
Yeah although misinformation is recently on the rise, there is that overabundance of information, I still feel like we’re in perhaps the easiest era ever for verifying facts.
In the past when I called bullshit on my friend’s factoids, there wasn’t much I could do unless I went to a library and maybe there’d be a book on it, and I’d have not much choice but to trust that book. I believed so much nonsense people told me before that I can look up and discuss on a global knowledge in my pocket now, albeit requiring skill to do properly though
I always see comments like these online, but they seem kind of absurd to me, coming from a country where it’s not only totally common to walk dogs off-leash, but completely legal. There’s really very few incidents of dogs darting into the streets here, and actually half the ones I’ve ever seen have been dogs on a lead anyway. A well trained dog doesn’t do that.
