  • "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



  • 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.





  • 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.
