  • Ok, except I did predict it. It turns them both into strings and gives you “12”. I checked it.

    I would assume [1] + [2] would give you either 0 or 2, but maybe “12”.

    I can totally predict the future like that. Tomorrow it might rain, it might not, or it might snow. Want me to predict your future for a small donation? Here’s a small teaser: tomorrow you might or might not eat breakfast.

    My mystical powers lay the creation bare before me, all is predictable!


  • Definitely take everything I write with a grain of salt, as it might have no relevance to your job market.

    If you’re just tired of living paycheck to paycheck, I don’t think those certs will solve anything. Afaik they can only get you a tech support, or maybe some entry level network engineering job. Over here you’ll make more money doing construction, and the only upside of a tech support job is that you’ll be sitting in a chair instead of breaking your back.

    A few years down the line, you might be able to transition into better paid roles, but those fields are already quite saturated, and I’ve been seeing more and more companies requiring technical degrees even for junior roles. I know a few people who’ve been doing tech/customer support, and the closest someone came to moving up was getting stuck with managerial duties without any pay increase.

    On the other hand, in the EU at least, while the whole IT market is quickly getting oversaturated, skilled blue collar work is only getting more expensive due to a lack of workers. For example my cousin has a CS PhD, he founded and built up a dev outsourcing company, and he makes less per hour than the tiler he hired to redo his bathroom.

    And I don’t see that trend changing any time soon. Competent workers are getting close to retirement, and the new generations aren’t interested in replacing them.






  • in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a would library exists.

    If string return nan, else % 2

    So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

    Dependency chain: is-even depends on is-odd which depends on is-number

    On one hand USA bombed my country, poisoned the waterways with depleted uranium, and helped war criminals rip a chunk of it off and continue ethnically cleansing people to this day.

    On the other, for over a decade China has been helping criminals running the country embezell billions in return for putting us in so much debt who knows how many generations will be paying it off.

    Both can go fuck themselves.
