I’ve been lurking on r/thedeprogram for about two years and have seen Smith’s opinions on landlords there multiple times, and upvoted into the thousands. Pretty sure you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Edit: high hundreds, not thousands.
Sadly, my internet connection where I’m at is abysmal and lemmy doesn’t let me upload some examples. Fun fact though: OP’s meme was posted on theDeprogram two years ago.
Tankies also love to rub Adam Smith’s opinions under liberals’ and conservatives’ noses…
In other languages that shouldn’t be equal either though, right?
Maybe you meant
if (2){
console.log("nonzero ints are truthy")
}
else {
console.log("no they're not")
}
Which would output
nonzero ints are truthy
and that would actually work in all languages I know. But that’s different from being equal.
It’s not. Just tried in my Browser Console:
2 == true // returns false
Mh, ‘0’ is a nonempty string, so !‘0’ returns false. Then of course !(!‘0’) would return true. I’d absolutely expect this, Python does the same.
And the second thing is just JavaScript’s type coercion shenanigans. In Python
bool('0') # returns True because of nonempty string
bool(int('0')) # returns False because 0 == False
Knowing that JavaScript does a lot of implicit type conversions, stuff like that doesn’t strike me as very surprising.
Nothing factually wrong with the article, but it has this sound of “this technology will solve all our problems” to it that I find highly problematic. Seven out of nine planetary boundaries are exceeded, climate change just being one of them. And all of them are exceeded because of our wasteful and growth-oriented way of life.
