I love that he didn't even give a hint. The other person might have gone about teir day being happy to have helped.

That's not always good. Maybe they just did not read the handle and assumed someone random asked, but didn't know they wanted this library. That's probably a good assumption, too.

Yeah that's a nice reaction, the other dude wasn't being a jerk so no need to make him feel bad about it.

With enough zooming, even I can tell it’s the same profile picture. Wow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Not to mention the identical user names. But idk, could be a different colinhacks.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago (2 children)

lol “strongly typed”, “loosely typed”.

I don’t even use variables anymore. Wake up sheeple.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

I just use window["…"] to hold my variables.

So... pure functional programming w/ out state?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

No, registers and bit-wise manipulation. In a Minecraft server running in the browser.

That's a whole lot more wholesome than most of what goes on in the Stack Overflow arenas.

I liked typescript until I started working with people who like strict types.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's wrong with strict types?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sigh. Guess I need the joke explained?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 days ago

It's the people who love to talk about strict types that tend to be the problem
