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

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

"Hey, here's a useful thing that I recommend to people: "

It's basically a compliment

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Absolutely!

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.

I just had someone send me a link to that when I asked a question. Infuriating.

lol “strongly typed”, “loosely typed”.

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

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 week ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

That's honestly a really nice interaction

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?

Sigh. Guess I need the joke explained?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It could be any colinhacks, you know?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

But Doctor, I am Pagliacci!
