z-index 999999 is the equivalent of kids fighting about who can come up with a bigger number

@kiki This is exactly right. You can‘t blame Safari for not supporting hacks and other crap that isn‘t even in the standard.

@cafecortado same

Frankly that’s insane.

But it‘s not the first time that people are giving up thinking due to a single source of "truth": The Bible.

no shit?

I love it when docs and code comments lie about the code.

Just something I remembered right now. Claire Obscure: Expedition 33 is dealing with this topic.

But what actually traumatized me was the Black Mirror episode White Christmas.

I‘ve seen enough sci fi and fantasy where people are immortal and are suffering or tortured. That kind of traumatized me and I don‘t want immortality.
I think the absolute worst that you can do to anyone is to not let that person die.

@lorentz I agree that options would be a nice replacement for NaN, but infinity should remain to be a special value.

Unless you mean option as in algebraic sum types and not as "nullable", then I agree for infinity.

So that I don’t need to fix it? Sounds like the mantra of Microsoft and Google.

In theory you have the power to code anything that enables you to make the process easier. Maybe it requires some creativity.

Yes, the very app that I‘m writing this comment in :)

Wtf? 16 records? That doesn‘t even justify a DB!

@tosensei this is how those people do it. They assert that the whole body of science and philosophy is wrong and consists of liars. Then they make up their own crap and and keep claiming that they have found the truth which the evil establishment tries to suppress.

My guess is it’s because there are no literal representations of nan and infinity.

In a programming language you would use a function or a constant, but json stores data as literals.

@jestdotty why are you asking me?

Who except for brothel owners would want such a thing?

You are allowed to hack your own computer just like your own brain.

You are not allowed to hack computers of others just like the brains of others.

If you phrase it without that deliberate framing, it’s not weird at all.

Not only public wifi. Internet in general.

And when you don‘t believe git telling you that you wrote it.

This has to be trolling. Otherwise: lol

I have this mental condition that triggers when I‘m being made aware of my mental condition.

I guess we could collaborate and implement a common solution in uwp, skyRant and JoyRant.

Though it would be much less effort to just fix the images, if dfox would care :/

No worries, this is absolutely normal.
