@QPaysTaxes I think there is, but the best us to do .indexOf('sub-str')===0

That seems like an odd way to do that.

JS is so fucking wierd.

@QPaysTaxes Netscape, since ever.

Hey, did you guys know that the inital version of JS was designed in 10 days?

That's why it's type system is a huge pile of shit.

Hello @bazola

@EthanBierlein Try PHP...

Honestly.

hey @EthanBierlein

Q: What are the cons to excluding somce code from coverage analysis?

We all know that PHP sucks too, but we're comparing two different languages with completely different purposes.

PHP is for server-side scripting, and JS is client-side.

I've recently become very interested in improving my project's test coverage. At this point, I have a submodule pretty thoroughly tested, but it's coverage is still pretty low because the tool is picking up all of my views as entirely uncovered. (I'm using MVP, so these views are really "dumb", t...

test-coverage

Yeah, but nothing beats echo '1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' == '1.0E+48'; outputting 1 (true)

Besides, I'm the author ot the polyglot.

And yes, both questions are mine, and both run in Js and PHP without any change.

@QPaysTaxes What error?

Let me guess the error:

SyntaxError: Expecting ',' got expression

Or

SyntaxError: Unexpected End of File

That would be if you had something like a(b;

or you got bitten by semicolon insertion

Q: Is this the best way to write this SQL select Statement

3:10 PM

That happens a lot to me.

Specially on my polyglots

GODDINGUS!

I died on Tera!

Your if has a space.

You can't have / on URLs to run with javascript:.

Well, / is the directory separator.

I would encode it.

after you have your code up and running, you just shove it in a string and run urlEncode() in your console.

I think that's the function

Actually, it is encodeURI().

I'd like to Select columns from Table 1 with a Row Filter, Select columns from Table 2 and join. This works but it's a bit verbose. Was wondering if there is a cleaner way to write this. SELECT * FROM ((SELECT JOB_NUM, ITEM_NUMBER, DATE_COMPLETED, QTY_COMPLETED, STD_USAGE, ACTUAL_USAGE FROM ...

sql sqlite

Example: encodeURI('alert("Encode the Javascript and /")');

Which returns alert(%22Encode%20the%20Javascript%20and%20/%22)

Exactly

Actually, they are

But

Weird

What are you trying to check?

I would be surprised if they weren't different

always use === and !==, never == and !=

Actually

They are different

!a[0] is the same as saying not a[0]

you mean a[0] is guaranteed to be a string?

if so, then they are equivalent

3:25 PM

Which means that if a[0] is not true, it will be true now

what if the array is empty?

If you negate something empty, it becomes true

you mean falsy

"empty" can mean a lot of things

Yes, falsy

"" is the only falsy string though

so one of your preconditions must be off

3:27 PM

Let a[0] be an empty string

`!a[0]` -> `true`
`a[0] != ''` -> `false`

GODDAMN

Weird formatting system

oh lol

But now you know a drop more

I generally prefer an explicit !== '' since that makes it slightly easier (for me at least) to avoid those off-by-one-negation errors

golfing?

lol, javascript

@QPaysTaxes why not use an actual ~~obfuscator~~ minifier?

3:30 PM

If you want tips on reducing your code in size, I can help

a minimizer is nothing more than stripping all whitespace and renaming all variables to as few characters as possible

@JeroenVannevel Wrong

You couldn't be more wrong

Hello @nicael

Nevermind

Hello @JaDogg

JaDogg

Hi !

@IsmaelMiguel in what way?

3:31 PM

How about this: if( a != false ){ alert('A is not false') }

That is 'regular' code.

Hmm nicael must have gotten his account unbanned.

Minified: a&&alert('A is not false')

And yes, minifiers do that

Fine, it also does some other changes that minimize the code

renaming variables and removing whitespace is the main function though

@QPaysTaxes Can I reduce it?

@QPaysTaxes Instead of (function(){...})(), use !function(){...}()

Which reduces 1 byte

happy trolly day

3:34 PM

@IsmaelMiguel why the "!"?

@Ixrec I have no idea, but it works

Try this: !function(){alert('hi!')}()

I mean I think it should work without the !

It gives SyntaxError

SyntaxError: Expected identifier

hm, I get syntax error in the console just for function(){}

I think this might be something that's valid in real code but not in a repl

huh, it allows function x(){} but not function x(){}()

nvm I have no idea what's going on here

function x() isn't an anonymous function

3:39 PM

@IsmaelMiguel a&&alert('A is not false') , does that mean the compiler wont bother to process alert command when a is false ?

@Agawa001 Exactly

i just want to get some basics thanks

You're welcome.

That is the benefict of lazy evaluation

(golfing) im amateur of these tricks ( actually member of code golf)

You will learn a lot by minifying code

@QPaysTaxes Here, for you:

!function(a){location="http://codereview.stackexchange.com/search?tab=votes&q="‌+(a.length?a.reduce(function(b,c){return b+(~c.indexOf("-")?"-%5B"+c.substring(1):"%5B"+c)+"%5D+"},''):a)+"created%3A..60‌d+answers%3A0+closed%3Ano"}(prompt("Tags: (leave blank for none)").split(/\s+/))

That was minified by me, you can try a minifier after

But if you put a space and then a tag, it will fail

(space)a will fail

Don't use it. But there is

3:58 PM

what's wrong with .trim()?

.replace(/^\s*(.*)\s*$/,'$1')

assuming we aren't worried about anything funky like unicode whitespace

:/

trim support is a joke

oh, compatibility

sorry, I work in ES5 strict mode all day so I forget that stuff easily

@QPaysTaxes I was thinking about Firefox

Just go ahead and use .trim()

Firefox must be on version 37.0.5

Or 39

!function(a){location="http://codereview.stackexchange.com/search?tab=votes&q="‌+(a[0]?a.reduce(function(b,c){return b+(~c.indexOf("-")?"-%5B"+c.substring(1):"%5B"+c)+"%5D+"},''):a)+"created%3A..60‌d+answers%3A0+closed%3Ano"}(prompt("Tags: (leave blank for none)").trim().split(/\s+/))

Try this

That's neat, how does it work?

Run in the console, write the tags separated by space and done

Or no tag at all

We're talking about an internet troll @Agawa001. Specifically, you.

lets meditate who s the real troll who offend people here

Internet troll

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion. This sense of the word troll and its associated verb trolling are associated with Internet discourse, but have been used more widely. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment...
