AFAIK it ends up on the ground, and in the ground water. Which means that it could contaminate drinking water if it’s not treated properly. It will enter rivers and lakes, and snow and everywhere else that water gets.

It’s a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

In every dev job I’ve ever held it’s been me or one of the other devs doing demos (usually me though). Granted I haven’t worked on anything truly high profile that a demo would be An Event.

It’s in contrast to something like LaTex or markdown, where you edit the syntax for formatting directly and don’t see the final result until you preview or save it.

Thanks bot I was counting on you!

Fortunately I work from home, so I don’t need a masturbation station at some shared office.

That’s really only native compiled languages. Many popular languages, such as C#, Java, etc. Lie somewhere in between. They get compiled to intermediary byte code and only go native as the very final step when running. They run in a runtime environment that handles that final step to execute the code natively. For .NET languages that’s the CLR (Common Language Runtime).

For .Net the process goes like this:

• You write the code
• Code is compiled to MSIL
• At runtime when the MSIL is executing a JIT (just-in-time) compiler translates the MSIL into native code.
• The native code is executed.

Java has a similar process that runs on the JVM. This includes many, many languages that run on the JVM.

JavaScript in the browser goes through a similar process these days without the intermediary byte code. Correction, JS in modern browsers also follow this process almost exactly. a JIT compiler compiles to bytecode which is then executed by the browser’s JS engine. Historically JS has been entirely interpreted but that’s no longer the case. Pure interpreted languages are pretty few and far between. Most we think of as interpreted are actually compiled, but transparently as far as the dev is concerned.

Last, but certainly not least, Python is also a compiled language, it’s just usually transparent to the developer. When you execute a python program, the python compiler also produces an intermediary bytecode that is then executed by the python runtime.

All that being said, I welcome any corrections or clarifications to what I’ve written.

It’s not actually a mistake. It’s a word that has been in use for 200+ years with its first recorded use in 1795. It’s controversial, but it appears in dictionaries and is a synonym for regardless. Love it or hate it language changes with time and when enough people use a word it becomes a part of the language.

I hate it too, but irregardless has officially been a word in dictionaries for years now.

That’s not true these days. You can try it yourself right in your browser’s dev console.

These results are from Firefox’s console.

0 == null == undefined
> false
0 == null
> false
0 == undefined
> false
null == undefined
> true
null === undefined
> false

And even in the one case where == says they are the same, you can fix that by making sure you are using === so that it doesn’t do type coercion for the comparison.

Canada also has a strong cottage culture, where families will spend time in the summer at a cottage, or campground, or other, and they are often on lakes (we have so many lakes, they’re just everywhere, at least where people live.) I don’t specifically remember learning how to canoe, but I think it happened initially on a field trip with school when I was really young. That being said, not all Canadians know how to canoe. I had to teach a friend of mine how to properly paddle when canoeing solo because he had just never been taught. Ironically, it was his canoe we were using.
