@wallhackio if somebody asks for a whale, and i give them a humpback whale, they are satisfied. but if somebody asks for a clodsire, and i give them a humpback whale, i have not satisfied their request. therefore a clodsire must not be a whale

@coriander @wallhackio apparently delaware gas tax is like $0.23/gal which is honestly more than i expected but still way less than WA $0.5904/gal

@coriander @wallhackio tfw motherfucker lives in a state with sales tax

@aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ coffeescript is good and fun but you have to install node to use it so it’s impossible to say whether it is worthwhile or not

@aescling @wallhackio @vaporeon_ coffeescript allows a bare switch without a condition statement which effectively compiles to switch (true)

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ hey @aescling how do you feel about

switch (false) {
case !cond1:
// …
case !cond2:
// …
}

you hater of elif

@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling wait until you learn about Python

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ @aescling really one should just not use switch statements unless you are writing Swift which actually does them well

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ @aescling reasonable but then if you add a variable declaration you have to reindent the whole block so

@wallhackio @vaporeon_ @aescling you should instead do

switch (gorp) {
case 'norp': {
console.log('norp')
break
}
// etc
}

@coriander you ever long for the days when people were writing thinkpieces explaining why millennials had too much debt and couldn’t afford houses or cars

@xsssm the conclusion of “Imagining Transgender” by David Valentine goes all in on critiquing gay men for manifesting this shift and anyway yeah i agree

@virtue @coriander “feels clunky for reasons i’m not sure of” is a good summary of the linguistic definition of “ungrammatical”

@coriander i am like… i see your point, but “which flowers is” is just wrong

@coriander “the gardener are planting which flowers”
