Okay... Let me guess -- the earth is hollow and home to the lizard people who secretly control the world. All the government need do is stop fighting the swarm of "conspiracy" books and websites and step forward and go "This is bullshit, here's why". Instead, they're doing EXACTLY what the "conspiracy" is claiming they do. You refuse to open your eyes and look for yourself. You expect everything hand-fed to you on a silver spoon. THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.
I don't have a choice. They're the only carrier with acceptable service in my area. You can't use Verizon inside most buildings. (The 'Can you hear me now' guy hasn't been this way, I guess.) T-Mobile and Sprint are even worse.
CellularOne was good, but AT&T bought them years ago.
AT&T hate aside, I've never had a problem with basic phone service while traveling. (Well, except that one time driving through the desert in New Mexico.) So, baring their ridiculous prices, I can't really complain.
Instead, I get a bunch of porn and a conspiracy theory. Oh, you have no evidence because Reddit is hiding the truth! Does the NSA come in to play here? How about Area 51?
Well, I'm not surprised at all. People like you delve in to fantasy when reality doesn't suit your crazy beliefs.
Well, I try again: I said the behavior of the "+" operator in Javascript is non-deterministic because you have no way to guarantee the type of the variables involved
Nice change. (You never said that! At least you're trying to learn from your mistakes.) Of course, all it does is make you look like an idiot. 1) because you don't know what the term "non-deterministic" means 2) because variables in JS don't have types, values do.
Let me guess: You're an autodidact?
(and therefore the hack to ensure that what should be a string remains a string so that the operation using the "+" return the expected result for a string).
This has been driving me crazy. Since when is an explicit cast an "ugly hack"? How long have you been programming, half an hour?
So you rescind your claims that "the language behaves in a non-deterministic way" and "there is no way to say with certainty what the interpreter will do since there's no telling for sure if he will treat the "+" operator as a sum of integers or a concatenation of strings"?
That's what this whole thing was about, after all. If you're willing to accept that those nonsense claims are total nonsense, then we're in complete agreement.
If you're not, then you're 100% wrong when you claim to "know how the '+' operator works".
I wonder, as you double-down on your lunacy:
The ugly hack I mentioned earlier just makes sure that a given string variable will be interpreted as a string when I need it to be a string"
You wouldn't need your "ugly hack" if you knew how the + operator worked, after all.
No, you didn't. You still don't know how the + operator works. You just came up with a convoluted way to avoid learning how it works.
If you had actually learned how the + operator works, you wouldn't say ridiculous things like "random" or "there is no way to say with certainty what the interpreter will do".
Perhaps you shouldn't post about things you know nothing about. If nothing else, when someone points out how ridiculous you sound, you read the docs to make sure that you're not continuing to spread nonsense.
If you were better at interpreting text and had dealt more with the case described, you would have understood what I mean by random is that there is no way to say with certainty what the interpreter will do since there's no telling for sure if he will treat the "+" operator as a sum of integers or a concatenation of strings.
It's like I'm talking to a wall.
There IS a "way to say with certainty what the interpreter will do". You just haven't taken the few minutes required to find out how!
It's happened to me more than once
Then you're either ridiculously lazy or a complete moron. You'll find that if you actually learn the language before you use it, you won't struggle with simple things.
Again, it's not the language's fault that you're unwilling or unable to learn how it works!
Remember, we are specifically talking about the action of belief,
No, we're not. We're talking about the belief in the existence of the teapot. Pay attention.
Let's take two people, Alice and Bob. Clara asks both of them if such a teapot exists. Alice says "I don't believe that teapot exists". Bob says "I believe no such teapot exists." Which of the following statements are true: (1) "Bob believes the teapot exists" (2) "Alice believes no teapot exists" (3) "Alice believes the teapot exists" (4) "Bob believes no teapot exists".
If that's still tripping you up, how would Alice and Bob each answer the question "Does the teapot exist?" with a simple "yes" or "no".
I don't believe. In anything at all. I have zero beliefs. [snip] This is the only trace of "belief" you will find in my entire being. I believe in nothing else.
Nonsense!
Your problem is that you think that belief means something like "belief without reason" or "belief without evidence" or whatever other nonsense some youtube personality fed you. You like to think that you're above such things, some perfectly rational being, accepting only the assumptions necessary to function.
This is what happens when you get your "education" from blogs, forums, and youtube instead of a university.
Unless you're completely delusional, you'll soon come to discover that that isn't even remotely true. Even worse, you'll find that you actually DO believe things without reason or evidence -- most things, in fact. Go ahead, give it a bit of thought.
See, belief isn't subject to the will, after all. You can't choose to believe or choose to not believe in things. Give it a try. You can say it, but you can't actually force a change in your beliefs. (This isn't to say that beliefs can not change. For example, you could be convinced or otherwise compelled in to changing a belief.)
I see that you're deeply confused by this concept of 'evidence'.
You can repeat "the truth is out there" all you want, just don't expect anyone to dive in to your paranoid fantasies just to see if there's anything to them. If you can't support your outlandish claims, I have absolutely no reason to believe them.
They are exactly identical. To the question "Is there a green teapot" answering "I don't believe in the green teapot" is the same as answering "I believe no green teapot exists".
They are both statements of belief, both indicate the same belief about the teapot. (Certainly not opposite beliefs about the teapot!) Play semantic games all you like, but that does not change reality.
When you were making decisions about your education, you should have picked "university" instead of "youtube".

It's still really neat.
STILL no evidence for your claims!
Instead, I get a bunch of porn and a conspiracy theory. Oh, you have no evidence because Reddit is hiding the truth! Does the NSA come in to play here? How about Area 51?
Well, I'm not surprised at all. People like you delve in to fantasy when reality doesn't suit your crazy beliefs.
Why do you want to put so much responsibility on the victims?
Are you a criminal?
Then when is the appropriate time to raise it?
Did you miss it? He said:
But the time for that is before the crime
You even quoted it.
Giving a bribe makes makes you just as guilty whether you offered one or the other party requested one.
I'm thinking more coercion than bribery. Hence, "power dynamics".
"That's a nice game you've got there, it would be a shame if I had to give it a shitty review..."
How sad you must be to not know that anything with /r/insertwhateverhere is Reddit.
Sad? I'd say the exact opposite of that. Moving on...
"The Fappening" refers to a series of nude photographs featuring various high profile celebrities leaked on 4chan in late August of 2014.
You have absolutely no evidence, so you direct me to a porn site? Are you 12? Why not just link to goatse?
Pathetic.

Is not a source. What's the domain?
Further: Why the hell would I go to any URL with a reference to masturbation? It looks like a sad joke.

True.
The language behaves in a non-deterministic way and this is my fault?
The language does NOT behave in a non-deterministic way. That you believe it does IS your fault.
Yeah, it's not language's fault that you didn't bother to learn it.
It has types, and you really don't need classes. Prototypes are better in just about every way.
Randomly?
Look like you don't understand the basics of how the language works.
You can't blame that language for your gross incompetence.
So, you think js sucks because, if you're a total moron, you'll do dumb things?

It's the damn gubment!
"I believe" and "I do not believe" are the exact opposite.
Yes they are. Good for you.
However, "I believe x does not exist" and "I do not believe x exists" are logically identical.
This isn't complicated. It's not even arguable. What's wrong with you?
I see that you're deeply confused by this concept of 'evidence'.
You can repeat "the truth is out there" all you want, just don't expect anyone to dive in to your paranoid fantasies just to see if there's anything to them. If you can't support your outlandish claims, I have absolutely no reason to believe them.
So... what does your mystery email contain? How does it prove this collusion between Slashdot and Reddit to do ... what, exactly?
How are any Slashdot editors "busted"?
You're an idiot.
They are exactly identical. To the question "Is there a green teapot" answering "I don't believe in the green teapot" is the same as answering "I believe no green teapot exists".
They are both statements of belief, both indicate the same belief about the teapot. (Certainly not opposite beliefs about the teapot!) Play semantic games all you like, but that does not change reality.

So... no link and time stamp?
