"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
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
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.
This is why I rarely get on board with new Google products nowadays. I know they’ll get half assed support and then be killed off really quickly.
Sounds alright. I’ve got a phone, computer, TV, job. Might not be focused enough to actually be productive, but I’d rather that than be rushed, unready and unslept
Why? That’s the best time of day for an appointment. I’ve plenty time to actually sleep well, not rush to get ready, not be late, actually be awake when I get there. Well I might still be late
Antarctic ice is actually expanding, despite global warming. Arctic ice is melting, but flatzoids think that’s in the middle of a flat earth.
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).
I do see it on OnePlus though with all voice apps, including Google assistant. I think OxygenOS is not hiding it
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.
I have a basic £30 (£50 post inflation) pop-up frisbee tent and it works just fine on its own in heavy rain. Water only gets in when the door is open. It really just needs to be double layered, taut and have a decent groundsheet, but that can all come built-in without needing to be expensive
When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn’t go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn’t just possible, it was common
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
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
Oh that makes sense. I didn’t consider it might be treated as a char
