"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.

Quiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it’s the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there’s some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you’re saying too

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.

This is a 1922 map though, not current

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.

Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it’s pissing it down with rain here in the UK?

Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it’s not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too

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.

UK’s got S, M and the Underground roundel. I think it’s interesting that those three different common terms, subway, metro and underground, used globally, all originate from the London Underground in different ways.

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
