@Quill or you can do what I did and write your whole website in javascript getting all data from an XML file.

once I got that working it worked nicely tooo

Doorknob

... and then someone with JavaScript disabled visits your website...

Quill

haha

Vihan

yes, I tried to address that problem but who disables JavaScript

Quill

you're an evil man @Vihan

Doorknob

@Vihan have you never heard of NoScript?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:01 AM

@Vihan It would be more interesting if you used DOM instead of innerHTML.

Quill

What's the city in the background of your website @Vihan

Alex A.

@Doorknob Plot twist: Conor's real name is Central African Republic.

Doorknob

@Quill I will never understand why people load multi-megabyte images just to display as website backgrounds

Quill

he killed the shadows!

Alex A.

@Quill Quincy, IL

Quill

12:04 AM

@Doorknob probably because they know if you didn't stick around to see the image load, you'd probably leave sooner

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Quincy, Illinois

Quincy (/ˈkwɪnsi/ KWIN-see), known as Illinois's "Gem City," is a city on the Mississippi River and the county seat of Adams County, Illinois, United States. As of the 2010 census the city held a population of 40,633, up from 40,366 in 2000. During the 19th Century, Quincy was a thriving transportation center as riverboats and rail service linked the city to many destinations west and along the river. It was once Illinois' second-largest city, surpassing Peoria in 1870. The city holds several historic districts, including the Downtown Quincy Historic District and the South Side German Historic...

It was a joke

@Doorknob kemosabe'd

Quill

I'm blaming Australia's internet for my inability to be the top ninja

Doorknob

12:06 AM

kemosabe

Noun: kemosabe ‎(plural kemosabes)

(slang, US) Alternative spelling of ke-mo sah-bee...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Quill s/ internet.+//

Doorknob

... well thanks Wiktionary, that was very helpful

ke-mo sah-bee

Noun: ke-mo sah-bee ‎(plural ke-mo sah-bees)

(US, slang) An address to a friend, said to mean "my trusted friend".

Vihan

@AlexA. it's actually singapore

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ I did

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Vihan What's all the meta html tag crap at the beginning?

Vihan

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ favicon and stuff

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:08 AM

@Vihan You can't use DOM for that?

Quill

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ meta tags aren't crap. you need them for places like google, facebook and potentially even SE chat (if the devs had the time) to onebox you

Vihan

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ that was the one exception.

Alex A.

@Vihan Nice. Which city?

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Quill I'm referring to the lack of DOM.

@Vihan ಠ_ಠ no expections.

Vihan

I am not doing 50 var meta_n = document.createElement("meta");

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:09 AM

Why not?

You could easily copy+paste or even write a script to generate it for you.

I don't think anyone still uses for loops very much in JavaScript..

Quill

12:14 AM

ETHproductions

@Vihan So what do you think we use instead? While loops??

Zach Gates

^

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Vihan I only use it for matrix loops in a non-es6 environment.

Quill

.filter, .map

Vihan

@ETHproductions .forEach, .map, etc.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:15 AM

Vihan

if you need ranges and stuff use generators

generators are cool

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

I luv generators

ETHproductions

I use Array(x).keys() for ranges

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:16 AM

@Quill YUS

Vihan

@Doorknob -1 use Map

or at least Object.create(null), first

Quill

@Vihan map implies you're returning something. there's no need to use map.

Doorknob

I don't know what any of those things are

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@Vihan why? the resulting array is irrelavent.

ETHproductions

Arrow functions, spread operator, argument destructuring, generators, symbols... what other awesome features are there?

Vihan

12:17 AM

@Quill no, the es6 map object

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Vihan

@Doorknob Object.create(null) creates an object with an empty prototype

@ETHproductions Sets.

Vihan

Maps?

Q: Roman-style date formatting

Today (March 15) is the Ides of March, best known for being the date that Julius Caesar was assassinated. What's “Ides”? Well, the ancient Romans didn't simply number the days of month from 1 to 31 like we do. Instead, they had a more complex system of counting backwards to the Kalends, Nones,...
