The Semicolon Strikes Back

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 3rd - Follow Software Engineer 3d 4 In 2021 a research paper was published showing most efficient programming languages. Paper is here, but sadly behind the paywall. Gotta love "free academic pursuit" where they take in public money and then hide the results. https:Inkd.ingFTCtMzU Anyway: It shows that if people care about energy footprint of their systems, they need to ditch things like ruby, python and perl. Typescript also is super inefficient too.

Customer service rep: "I'm not allowed to tell you how to bypass our paywall." Also customer service rep: *proceeds to explain exactly how to bypass the paywall while technically denying help* It's the digital equivalent of saying "Whatever you do, don't look in that drawer where I definitely didn't hide your birthday present." The beautiful malicious compliance of someone who hates their job just enough to follow the rules while completely undermining them. Corporate paywalls: 0, Chaotic good customer service: 1.

Phone companies: "Look at our fancy folding screens that bend in 17 different directions!" Web developers: *sobbing uncontrollably* "Please just work on Chrome AND Firefox. I'm begging you." The eternal nightmare of responsive design strikes again. While hardware engineers flex with bendable displays, we're over here crying because Safari decided to render padding differently for the 47th time this week.
