Mom. Thanks for doing this for me.

So yeah, you’re going to open the closet. No, the closet in the hallway. Yeah, that one.

So see the black box on the bottom… the one with wires, like spaghetti? Yes… that’s it.

All the way on the right side there’s two rectangles. I said rectangles…. like squares, yes…

The one all the way to right is a button. You push it in… no, it’s ok, I appreciate you doing this… yes, this would be funny if I were a doctor… no, it won’t break anything. So you just press it…

No no. It’s supposed to make that sound. That means it’s starting up. Yes, it can be loud… but that’s exactly what I needed. Lights? Yep, those are good.

Thanks Mom. That should do it… wait… did I just hear you hit the light switch in the closet?

Can you tell me if there’s lights on the black box… No? And it’s quiet. Yeah… I figured.

Ok Mom, so what I need you to do is turn on the light switch you just hit. Right, that one. Good.

Now… remember that button, yep, the square, I need you to press it again…

Depending on the country/state that could obligate the company to pay for devices if they’re going to require they have them.

Not to mention possible “on call” pay could apply as well.

I wonder if people who make these things (if real) even think of throwing them by HR or some professional who could help them avoid the legal implications of these kinds of things.

It does but it also makes sense. This way people can’t have “family” member alt accounts for cheating with the primary as a parachute.

But… I’d like to see something like “if a family member gets banned then their access to sharing is blocked and you will get a temp ban”

This way I can rain down hell on whoever screwed up and the penalty for trusting them isn’t permanent

Security Log day 42: Our request for a proper security door was denied. “Just buy a master lock, it’s cheaper” was the reply.

Oh well, I’ll make something work. Right after my quick meeting with HR.

So in JavaScript there’s the assignment

=

and the comparator is

==

Since there’s no types JS will do implicit conversion before comparison when using == in a case like this

if(false == '0'){
    //this is true
}

But with === it doesn’t. It means literally compare these

if(false === '0'){
    //this is false
}else{
    //so this will execute instead 
}

But this, however, will

var someState = false;
 if(someState === false){
    //this is true
}

That’s why people moved away from global warming and use climate change.

Yes, overall the earth is warming but that destabilization affects the climate making summers hotter, winters colder, storms stronger etc.

Me: Yesssss………

CNN: To miss out on us asking you.

Because even the possibility that you implemented somebody else’s proprietary code from memory or inspiration opens up a lot of legal issues.

And while you may win there’s no winners when you or your employer has to pay your side of legal fees. It’s best to just avoid it to make that process easier.

Some of us have trust issues. Or worked with Java.

Which, now that I think about it, comes to the same thing.

Careful. They might charge you 0.20 for every mouse click on that thing.
