Did you know? Ticking the box and clicking "Cancel" does not, indeed, save your preference for not being asked.

Status: What's the deal with "moist"? I hear it on occasion like it's a discomforting word, but I'm entirely at a loss as to what possibly could be the reason?

@Tsaukpaetra for some reason people think of this

IMO that's not quite the . TRWTF is the lack of "Turn off" / "Don't turn on" button.

"Turn off" / "Don't turn on" button
You know who we are talking about? There is only a "Turn on" button

@Rhywden Missed opportunity to cash in on it by about 20 years. Like back in the old days of text 8125 or something and pay 50p for a fart ringtone (there was one that worked with plain MIDI somehow!).

@Rhywden that’s lame. What I need is some kind of P2P push to talk function so I can directly yell at other drivers using their speakers! If there’s anything to learn from online gaming, that’s it.
Do you hear me, investors? That’s a billion dollar market right there!!When one person asked Tesla CEO Elon Musk if they could drive their car to Ludacris’ classic ‘00s hit, “Move Bitch,”
Hmm okay, not bad for a start.

Where I still don't have a connection to my real identity. I have also made use of burner phones and computers in the rare occasion I've been up to no good online.

At least they'd get into trouble for allowing this in Germany - our relevant law explicitly states that anything other than "constant frequencies" is right out (exceptions for the police and medical vehicles apply, of course).

You're not even allowed to choose your ringtone in Germany? That's harsh

Of course. Anything other than monotone is Humorverdächtig and as such, strictly Verboten.
It's also why the allowed tone sequence for our ambulance sounds like: "Too late. Too late."

Nope, not from the internet archive.

TIL if you know someone's last name and their license plate, you can look up online their complete history of traffic violations in Chicago. What the fuck even.

In theory, in order for the government to assert that you have violated traffic law, they have to accuse you in court and then prove to a judge or jury that you did it.
In theory, court proceedings are open to the public for the explicit reason that We The People can observe the proceedings and make sure the government is actually following the rules.
As a result, court records are public records that randos are allowed to inspect.

The image in and of itself means nothing to me, especially in the context of "moist".
He doesn't look very happy though, so I'm not sure if the meme caption is accurate...

On the other hand, emergency services may use fart sounds, so there's that.

Just when you thought you knew all the fucking crazy JavaScript quirks:
[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 100, 101, 102 ].sort(); // [ 1, 10, 100, 101, 102, 11, 12, 13, 2, 3, 4 ]
(This was the cause of the most recent Picross highlighter bug.)
-
@error Consider this reply a second upvote.
For anyone else wondering what's going on and how you're supposed to use it then:
Apparently
sort()
takes an optional comparison function, and if you don't pass any then it will convert the input to strings which will then be sorted on code points.
-
@error String sorting seems a sensible default to me. And it beats having it guess 'hey I should do number sorting here' when you have an array with mixed numbers and strings* that you wanted to sort like strings.
* A of its own, I know, but JS is going to be used by not-competent people so...

In which case, they deserve randomized output. "Hmm... strings or ints... <rolls xkcd dice> ints it is!"
edit: Updated with the correct dice invocation.

@coderpatsy Just sort by coercing everything to a boolean, it'll be fine

True story: the picross module is using
true|false|null
to represent correct|incorrect|indeterminate for the highlights. Trinary ftw.I guess it could be an enum but . (And primitives serialize better.)
-
I kind of fucking hate how "can be accurately represented as a JSON value" has become a deciding factor in what types I use. And how many things don't support anything outside of that box.

Is it?
And it beats having it guess 'hey I should do number sorting here' when you have an array with mixed numbers and strings* that you wanted to sort like strings.
Python does the sensible thing:
>>> sorted([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 100, 101, 102 ]) [1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 100, 101, 102] >>> sorted([ "1", "2", "3", "4", "10", "11", "12", "13", "100", "101", "102" ]) ['1', '10', '100', '101', '102', '11', '12', '13', '2', '3', '4'] >>> sorted([ 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 100, 101, "102" ]) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
EDIT: Also, are the spaces after
[
and before]

What the fuck is this language? It apparently defines comparison between arbitrary types, but doesn't bother to make it a total order.
(Assuming theisSorted
I copy-pasted from -overflow is correct)Bonus errors from this site included.

JS only beats me when it's drunk. It's a good language, on the inside, I know it.

@error the part where it parses an object literal on the right hand side of
<
just fine but throws a syntax error on the left hand side is so dumb it could as well be C++.

Because

I really only use it when my phone is inexplicably burning through battery life faster than it can charge, to tell me what process needs to be murderized.
