The interpreter knows that this is not something anyone will ever do on purpose, so it should not silently handle it.

You basically defied the whole NaN thing. I may even agree that it should always throw an error instead, but… Found a good explanation by someone:

NaN is the number which results from math operations which make no sense

And the above example fits that.

"hello" - 1 makes no sense at all.

Yeah but actually there can be many interpretations of what someone would mean by that. Increase the bytecode of the last symbol, or search for “1” and wipe it from string. The important thing is that it’s not obvious what a person who wrote that wants really, without additional input.

Anyway, your original suggestion was about discrepancy between + and - functionality. I only pointed out that it’s natural when dealing with various data types.

Maybe it is one of the reasons why some languages use . instead of + for strings.

If you try what I wrote it will throw a NaN. I was asking about the first part of the proposal.

• should also do some string action

Like what kind of string action?

“Hello” + " world" is what everyone can understand. Switch with “-” and it becomes pointless.

Yeah. Prisoners, on the other hand…

My problem with it, it’s like WinRAR trial. I know I will never subscribe. Developers know I will never subscribe. They lost me as a potential customer when they refused to revise their pricing model. I switched to Jellyfin and will not go back to Emby. Guess a lot of people did the same, so I can say it’s their own fault.

Emby subscription costs a lot even if you just want to use it on a home server. It can work without subscription but will display a warning before playback. Jellyfin is free.

As a long time user of sidebery I actually want to check out the native implementation at some point. Maybe it works with less lag and consumes less RAM.

It actually seems more like a windows 10 compatibility dilemma for developers. You can support older systems but it would require some effort. The problem is not the absence of some specific certificates, but the absence of newer ciphers altogether.

This does give security but also removes backwards compatibility with some clients that might be important for some websites.

Judging by the size, just another electron app.

Because that leads to the degradation of the software? Or because they provide most of the valid feedback? Or because that would help more users become more advanced?

You said there are too many stupid users, then you said the software has to suit them. I see this as a problem when software targets stupid users because then the rest suffer from it being less convenient for them.

Also I think it’s hilarious how things become more complex for developers who should actually have the power to fork things in order to make them more suitable for advanced users. And apple is a good example of that. I would be a huge iphone fan if it wasn’t a walled garden in software terms.

I know. This is not about how dumb users are, it’s about how dumb the software becomes with time.

I think most things in browsers got degraded thanks to Google, but also due to that specific way of thinking.

The folks who only know JavaScript and refuse to learn more deserve to be blamed for electron’s (and similar) continued existence, and therefore for excessive resource usage.

I use the one from portableapps because I can’t stand going into appdata every time I need to change something.

everyone already opposes Israels aggression.

The least wise thought concerning this conflict I’ve heard.

Doesn’t mean they will on their own. Hence the pressure. Also doesn’t mean we should avoid any opportunities for increasing pressure. On both sides.

It’s amazing how you can act that righteous but completely miss the point and oppose any discussion about ways to bring an end to aggression. I hope you are not an LLM.

No. Are you blind? What twisted logic allows you to assume that keeping hostages will do any good for Palestinians? See the article. Also I personally would condemn Israel much more if all hostages are released. I’m not the only one.
