@lapis a mystery, you say... 🔍 ​

if you recognize the midori sample in the fourth song then you have super adhd

this album is really good if you, like, have undiagnosed adhd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdzRR0Zenpc

@aescling @vaporeon_ sure Brandon Eich, why not do that

@sudo_EatPant the reason we say nullish is because the language has two "null-like" values (undefined and null) where most languages only have one. So we say "nullish" to refer to either of these two values

@vaporeon_ might not be an issue if you have runtime type checking before the query, or if your JavaScript is compiled/transpiled from TypeScript, or if you have extensive confidence in your software testing

@vaporeon_ there are non-nullish values that are coerced to false. or x could be false itself. That means the following values would also be treated as nullish:

false
""
0
-0
0n
NaN

@aescling at work we had that but for a function called "exists"

@aescling is that a function you define elsewhere in your program?

@vaporeon_ oops. i made a new poll

Your preferred style(s) for checking for nullish in JavaScript:

@coriander still mad about this.

@The_T @monorail @aescling thanks for the thoughtful response, much appreciated!
