Well if you want you can "throw an eye on this" as I would say in german.

quartata

@Dennis what version of Perl do you have on TIO?

pl is throwing an error

Really? Blind on the left one? Or do you keep it closed all the time?

quartata

@Maltysen Not really

Alex A.

@flawr No, I just don't value depth perception.

flawr

Obviously. Depth perception is overrated.

Walking into walls and stuff is pretty great.

I bet its just that he's a mod which means that he has godly powers which enable him to walk through walls

@AlexA. Just so that you are aware, incrementing a variable is actually just x++. But by all means, continue to needlessly slander Mathematica with your sweeping generalizations

@MartinBüttner ++x is also valid

Martin Büttner

exactly

quartata

But I figured he'd know that hopefully

Maltysen

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ u forgot the period

FlagAsSpam

10:17 PM

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Future telling. I'm impressed.

Martin Büttner

and using x++ when the choice is arbitrary is bad style

FlagAsSpam

Dammit.

quartata

@MartinBüttner ..?

OK

FlagAsSpam

I just wanna concatenate onto the last post. ;c

Alex A.

@MartinBüttner Yeah. Obviously one should be using IncrementVariableByAmount.

quartata

10:18 PM

Well generally in Perl it's more readable to do $x++ rather than ++$x which is why I do that.

BlockCoder1392

Someone should create a language just like js but with 1 change

Alex A.

Why

quartata

@BlockCoder1392 Make it not suck?

Alex A.

Oooooooooh

FlagAsSpam

++x++ is my favorite version of increment.

Maltysen

10:19 PM

@quartata already exists: coffeescript.org

Alex A.

CoffeeScript is a lot more than 1 change away from JS

quartata

@Maltysen Meh

It's still JS

Someday Dam Son is going to make a PPCG account, join chat, and get pissed that we keep posting his school yearbook photo.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@quartata Oh, right.

quartata

10:21 PM

@AlexA. Considering the photo is in black and white

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

@AlexA. If JS is BS, then Julia is Droolia.

quartata

Dam Son may already have an account

On an unrelated note, we need a ToffeeScript

Alex A.

@quartata My yearbook photos from that age were black and white

quartata

@AlexA. I wonder if I even still have my yearbook photos

I kinda didn't care about them

Alex A.

I don't either

That is, I also don't care about your yearbook photos.

I meant more for the more scientific purpose of seeing whether or not they were black and white

Meh

I think I still have my yearbooks but they're in another room. So they may as well not exist.

Oh damn son, Dam Son is here.

@DamSon Hi @FlagAsSpam

Pietu1998

@Dam you're missing a profile picture

quartata

10:25 PM

@Pietu1998 He has one

It doesn't show because he doesn't have the 20 rep

Alex A.

@Pietu1998 You can join chat but you can't talk and your picture won't show up if you have less than 20 rep on some site in the network

FlagAsSpam

Wat?

quartata

@FlagAsSpam So you admit to denying to admitting that DamSon is your sock?

Dammit there's two now

FlagAsSpam

Yes?

Maltysen

why are there two?

quartata

@Maltysen I don't know

But one has an id of 48501 and one has an id of 48502

It's basically a larger set of which the earlier q is a subset.

Q: Why is w considered a consonant?

I've always been taught that the character "w" in English was a consonant, except in very specific cases. However, on a recent trip to Wales, I learned that in Welsh it was considered a vowel. And then it struck me: Is W really a consonant? Whenever we (or, at least I) pronounce the character, ...
