Just keep developing with it, you’ll get CTE soon.

I also am not familiar with javascript anymore…precisely because of this, exact, insane bullshit.

B… and/or C… evaluating as FALSE are the only things that… should even kind of make sense, according to my brain.

Though at this point in my life, I have unironically had a good number of concussions and contusions, so … well you’d think that would help with JS development.

Javascript is insanity, and I am still convinced it is at least 40% responsible for Notch losing his goddamned mind.

‘null’ is somehow an object. because fuck you, thats why!

Is… 0 == ‘’ … is that two single quotes ’ ’ ?

Or one double quote " ?

If… it is one double quote… that wouldn’t even evaluate, as it would just be an empty string without a defined end…

But if it was two single quotes… that would just be a proper empty string… and because of forced type coercion, both 0 and ‘’ are FALSE when compared with ==, but not when compared with ===, because that ignores forced type coercion…

Oh my fucking god WHY?!

Just fucking use one special character to delimit strings!

Don’t have two that don’t work together and also behave differently even when you pick just one of them… GraaaghhH!

brb, figuring out where Larry Ellison lives…

Alternatively:

Fix described here: www.nonsenseurl.com/bugforum/4839483#comments

… And then you read through the entire thread, and its 30 people complaining about the same problem, the person who linked you this very url fixing it for one particular person’s scenario, and then 4837 more comments of ‘still broken’.

I think you mean thats the price they’d need to sell at for Tesla/Musk to cover production costs, cover the sunk costs of already made capital investments (Mexico Gigafactory, etc), cover the ongoing costs of ‘Full Self Drive’ development, cover the debt of the company, cover a significant chunk of Musk’s personal debt from his leveraged buyout of Twitter (he had to finance that), and/or also some actual profit margin, go toward future stock buybacks, etc etc…

The article says, and cites, that there are over 10k unsold CyberTrucks.

10k * 80k = 800m

80k being the MSRP for the base model.

(In the case of Tesla, they own and directly operate their own dealerships, unlike most other car dealerships which are owned independently… thus the MSRP just literally is the only price you can buy them at. Tesla also makes you sign contracts when you buy a CyberTruck that more or less make it legally near impossible to resell your purchased CT second hand.)

MSRP != Cost to Produce.

If that were the case… basically all companies that sell physical things… would be Non Profits.

If you have access to Tesla’s internal accounting and finance numbers that can actually show a CyberTruck’s actual cost to produce, not only would I personally love to see that, but so would the government of Canada, I suspect, as they are currently investigating Tesla for essentially accounting fraud.

If something can’t actually sell at MSRP…

… analagously, if a house sits on market for 6, 9, 12 months, and can’t sell at a too high price…

Then the person trying to sell the thing has not recieved any real countable money; the price is likely wildly unrealistic.

Oh, yes, that’s … a whole thing as well.

Wonderful time to be Autistic in the US, what with RFK Jr (the guy with the actual brain worm, life long anti-vaxxer, who is now in charge of essentially medical policy in the US) describing all Autistic people as literally pants-shittingly stupid, saying that he’d like to take all people using any kind of psychiatricly prescribed medication to detox, no electronics, farm labor camps.

… I wonder if Canada would accept an asylum petition from Americans who either are, or suspect they may be Autistic at this point?

I agree, the poor phrasing of many questions is annoying.

But as best I can tell, that test is the most widely recognized as valid initially screening test, in that it essentially never produces false positives (neurotypicals do not score 65 or over).

It is also supposed to be properly administered by a professional who is sufficiently trained to address questions you may have about how to answer the questions.

On one hand, if it isn’t a big deal to you, than I absolutely do not want to pressure you into pursuing it just for my sake.

On the other hand, I am reasonably confident that taking issue with the poor phrasing of many of the questions… is itself an indicator, to some extent, that you are more likely to be higher up in the score, on the spectrum… because constantly asking to further specify things that are poorly or ambiguously worded… is a common trait of Autists.

Neurotypicals tend to barrel ahead with the first possibly ambiguous meaning or question answer without reflection or reconsideration.

Autists tend to do the exact opposite.

… This is part of the reason you’re supposed to do this test with a trained professional observing/proctoring, when you go for a formal diagnosis.

Without getting into a massive discussion about self-diagnosis and validity of various tests in which demographics and what not…

If your total score is 65 or over on this, you may wanna look into a formal diagnosis.

I mean… the thumbnail looks almost exactly like Markiplier to me.

All these years later, still can’t get his damn voice out of my head, purely from clicking on ‘really great vid’ links from randos on Discord… bleck.

I feel this is one of the few instances where I can say ‘takes one to know one’ and not mean that in some kind of rude or bellittling way.

Also: Etiquette!

Thats the word I couldn’t think of, thats used in ShadowRun to describe the … set of vocabulary and base cultural knowledge that functionally constitutes a social class, within those games.

Unless you’re an Autist who has heavily specced into the Corpo dialect/persona/mask.

On a barely related note:

It would be funny to watch Markiplier try to take out a Tesla Bot, and then Asimo, and then a humanoid Boston Dynamics robot, in hand to hand combat.

King of the Hill aired from '97 to '09.

… There are too many episodes for me to be able to pick out exactly which one this is from, what year it aired in…

But uh, fairly commonplace, reasonably affordable smartwatches, with the kind of functionality described… didn’t really become a thing until roughly the mid '10s.

Yes, there were earlier ‘smartwatches’, or things that could be argued to fall into that definition… but they were extremely niche, quite pricey.

Apple’s first smartwatch didn’t come out till 2015.

Smartphones, with touchscreens, did not really even exist at a reasonable price point, with significant numbers of people using them untill the latter third or quarter of KotH’s seasons.

Like I still remember having some clamshell, phyiscal keyboard ‘smartphone’ in 08 - 09.

I mourn for the leopards.

Their digestive systems were not designed to digest LiON batteries =(

… Is… is that seriously … the origin of this phrase?

That does… at least make a basic level of sense…

Utterly tangential, but:

… wtf is the origin of the ‘waiting for the shoe to drop’ phrase … to indicate waiting for a twist in a plot, or a secret to be revealed, an impactful complication to be explained?

How… what is the metaphor here?
