Pretty much, though some would contest calling strings “objects”. The spec indeed goes through some trouble to ensure they are pure value-types and do not exhibit any reference-like semantics, for instance by prohibiting their use as keys o

In fact, you cannot. But I encourage you to try!

Ah, well all JS strings are always immutable and only value-referable (you have no access to the underlying memory location), so that’s not a concern here.

What is the case you imagine where mutable strings would prohibit this?

Where do you live and what is your background that you think the only way a man might harass a woman is if he is drunk?

by basil-rash 2y ago
Get harassed by homeless? Or just men in general, if you’re a remotely attractive female (using the broadest term available as it certianly isn’t restricted to what we’d appropriately call “women”).

FWIW I've been using Edge for 4+ years now (since Chromium) and I've never had it ask me any questions on an update. The worst it did was restore my tabs after updates when I specifically configured it to never restore tabs, but t

What a delightfully simple solution! I have to imagine if I were given this problem I would muck it all up with wristbands assigned to seats and a 5G/IOT network needing to be installed at every stadium and custom control logic needing

If a forest has been leveled and I eulogize a particularly beautiful old tree that one was the pride of the land, the pedant who butts in saying “other trees died too you know” isn’t contributing anything much.

Interesting, didn't know that was an option. I'll have to give it a try.

I'm not dying on any hills – I'm just upset that the guy knowingly lied to the public, got rich-ish and famous as a result, and we all got screwed over for it.

That site could do to mention his admission to decades of chronic alcoholism in his “MeToo” letter, which of course void the results of his Super Size Me study, in which the doctors repeatedly said he had liver damage “consistent with years

By that argument, deep fake porn shouldn’t exist at all. But it does, so clearly that’s not the way these people see the world. Some faces are simply “better” than others, at least in so far as those with perverted pornographic desires are

This isn’t a news story as much as a DOJ press release, of which there are many many thousands available. News agencies have picked it up to get clicks, that doesn’t make the guy less guilty. News agencies do the same when a mass murder goe

What about people who virtualize various operating systems on macOS? That was my entire team at a prior engagement (at Microsoft, as it happens…). I suspect it’s a large number, developers tend to like macOS, so if you’re making a cross pla

A whole bunch of assumptions, mostly of the form “what other things look like from far away is probably what we look like from far away”. And “there probably isn’t anything that makes our perspective different from others”. We can’t test th

My position is that if people find it objectionable (and it’s not actually causing any real harm) they should carry on with their life pretending like it doesn’t exist. This pitchfork army debacle is a load of bologna.
