@aescling oh i guess there is an Array::entries() method which i could be using instead of Object.entries(…).values() but same thing

@aescling (pipes here is an array, if that helps)

@aescling

const pipesIterator = Object.entries(pipes).values();

for (const [pipeNº, index] of pipesIterator) {
/* … */
let nextPipeNº = pipeNº;
while (pipes[++nextPipeNº] < lastIndex) {
// skip pipes which precede lastIndex
if (pipesIterator.next().done) {
break;
} else {
continue;
}
}
}

@aescling because i needed to skip some iterations in a for…of loop?

@CobaltVelvet@octodon.social you’re reading “losing a son” as “losing a male (child)” but i think many people who use this phase intend it equally as “losing a (male) child”; it’s a disowning statement or performs as one

@nleigh oh yeah i hope you like hot fire nation assassin women because let me tell you kyoshi does

@craigmaloney@octodon.social @noelle if you're curious about this decision, it comes from how python rounds //

many languages drop the fractional part, so -6 // 8 is 0. you then need a -6 to get back to your original value.

8*0 + (-6) == -6

python always rounds down, so -6 // 8 is -1. so you need a 2:

8*(-1) + 2 == -6

@nleigh good; it's a lot of political drama and actual death from the perspective of someone who was raised a poor servant orphan in the Earth Kingdom, which is definitely a different vibe from the shows but i appreciate it

also it’s gay

@noelle @craigmaloney@octodon.social oh, hm, not sure if i agree with that definition of remainder

technically speaking, it's a standardized 'remainder-near' function, so my only real issue with it is the name :P

anyway it's easy enough to

a%b - b if a < 0 else a%b

so there's no real issue
