JavaScript NaN Is Weird

javascript-memes, nan-memes, equality-memes, comparison-operators-memes, programming-logic-memes | ProgrammerHumor.io

JavaScript's equality comparison is like that one friend who can't decide what they want for dinner. The console shows NaN === NaN returning false because in JS, each NaN is its own special snowflake. Two identical-looking "not a number" values? Nope, completely different according to JavaScript! The corporate "spot the difference" meme perfectly captures the absurdity - there's literally no difference between the two NaN cards, yet JavaScript insists they're not the same. It's the programming equivalent of gaslighting. Next time someone asks why developers drink, just show them this.

Content ITS TypeScripts I implemented your ideas. Typescripts.org is a clone of the official site. The code examples are littered with subtle errors and overuses 'any'. javascript was never meant to be type safe scrolls across the screen in comic sans. The cookies popup only fades by 10 when you click 'Accept. 'This site was created using ASPNET Blazor Web Assembly 7.0' is in the footer. All instances of Microsoft are replaced with Megahard. Any more grand ideas? ProgrammerHumor i0

Content The Nikola fraud trial has been interesting, but it was this particular claim from a few years ago had me and all my buddies rolling: "The entire infotainment system is a HTML 5 super computer. That's the standard language for computer programmers around the world, so using it let's us build our own chips. And HTML 5 is very secure. Every component is linked on the data network, all speaking the same language. It's not a bunch of separate systems that somehow still manage to communicate." Sentencing is November 28th.

You Can't Hear Images? Hold My Terminal

Developers staring smugly at their console full of error messages like "Yeah, I can definitely hear that image." The sound of a thousand npm packages breaking simultaneously is basically a lullaby after your fifth year in the industry. That satisfying beep.mp3 of your code crashing at 2AM has its own special place in your Spotify playlist, right between "Keyboard Clacking ASMR" and "Deadline Panic Attack Breathing Techniques".
