This is likely referring to TypeScript.

TypeScript has all of these patterns, they are used very frequently and they are necessary because TypeScript tends to be interesting from time to time since its types only exist at compile time, because it compiles to JavaScript, which is a language without types.

TypeScript also allows any as a keyword, which says “I don’t know which type this is and I don’t care”, which still produces valid JavaScript. To get back to typed variables it is necessary to use typeof (or similar constructs like a type guard).

Totally agree with this.

You’ve brought up very good points. As long as consumers support this it will stay the same.

If tipping was stopped all around this would force employers to be responsible for the pay of their employees.

This can only be achieved by holding the employers accountable. Buy from companies that pay fair wages. Don’t buy from those that rely on tips. Vote with your money.

I disagree.

You should not look at the customer to make up extra payment so your wage becomes bearable. This way you are pointing in the wrong direction for a fair pay.

The customer is not the one responsible for you making enough money. Your employer is.

Employers are also the only people gaining anything from tipping. The laws in the US actually allow employers to pay less than minimum wage if the worker receives tips: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/wages/wagestips Since tipping is not predictable the employer wins by having to pay the worker less. The worker loses.

Also you as the worker are responsible to track and pay taxes on the tips you received, not your employer: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/tip-recordkeeping-and-reporting

I understand it sounds scary when I say “Stop tipping” because it sounds like less money to you, but don’t look at me, the customer, for this. Look at the employer. Stop tipping.

Edit: I agree with your take to stop engaging with companies that rely on tipping to change this, though. I think that was not clear from my comment.

Not the original commenter, but the guy juggling 5 drinks deserves no tip. He deserves a fair pay and the stuff the customer buys should be priced in such a way it enables fair pay.

I am not from the US and delivery drivers here don’t even expect a tip. I order my stuff, pay exactly what the menu said (and maybe a deliver fee, which is fine to me, you then usually have the option to come and pick it up without that fee) and get my food 30 minutes later.

Tipping is an extremely bad practice that makes the pay of people unpredictable and depending on their situation can make a day with bad tipping a problem for them.

Stop tipping.

Non-news.

If it happens, it happens, if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. We gain literally zero information from this article.

I am so glad the shareholders got their money!

Just imagine some rich people didn’t get more rich, just stayed as rich as they were, so we could “save the planet”. Disgusting!

Of course it costs an astronomical amount of money! It’s a space mission, what else would it cost?

(30,27): error TS7006: Parameter 'fuck' implicitly has an 'any' type.

This is due to the default sorter in JavaScript sorting by the string value. The reason for that is that this won’t create errors at runtime. Since JavaScript does not have types, this is the safest way of sorting.

This works:

const unsorted = [1, 100000, 21, 30, 4]
const sorted = unsorted.sort((a, b) => a - b) 

I worked with Azure Boards and the entire TFS stack for multiple years and it’s a horrible experience. It’s very slow, buggy and especially the access-management is so poorly designed, most engineers had admin rights, because we tried for hours and ended it with “fuck it” and gave them admin rights, so they could do their job.

It’s not. The default sorter does that, because that way it can sort pretty much anything without breaking at runtime. You can overwrite it easily, though. For the example above you could simply do it like this:

[3, 1, 10].sort((a, b) => a - b)

Returns: [1, 3, 10]

JS !== Java

Try Javascript some day!

• We have truthy and falsy! Empty string or null? Yeah, that’s false!
• Of course we can parse a string to number, but if it’s not a number it’s NaN!
• null >= 0 is true!
• Assign a variable with =, test type equality with == and test actual equality with ===. You will NEVER use the wrong amount of = anywhere, trust me!
• Our default sort converts everything to string, then sorts by UTF-16 code. So yes, [1, 10, 3] is sorted and you are going to live with it.
• True + true = 2. You know I’m right.

Try Javascript today!

I have my own mailserver just for me and it wasn’t that complicated to be honest. I set it up with Mailcow in Docker in under a day. So far it has been stable with regular backups and updates through Lighthouse.

Maintenance comes down to 5 minutes every three months because somehow Let’s Encrypt and Mailcow don’t like each other and I have to renew the certificate manually.

Yes, 4 tons exactly.

Yes.

Yes, just like I said.

You mean the people running big corporations and not giving a fuck about the environment, right?

They are becoming smarter the further climate change progresses!
