principled self-organizing curmudgeons

I've never been more proud to be categorized!

And whenever you have a chart of historical data like this, you have to at least consider that an increase could be reflective of either improved diagnostic or record-keeping abilities.

I am Lucy Liu. Give me your spines.

I'm not sure about "anymore"—other than moving it to the start of the sentence—but I have noticed that "whenever" seems to have become fully interchangeable with "when" for some southerners.

It's probably also related to when a person first encountered JS. If you learned it pre-2015—even if you're aware of the changes made in ES6—I can see how it would be hard not to view JS as cumbersome. I personally love to use it, but I can't imagine that would be true without let, const, classes, etc.

Edit also block scoping and arrow functions!

Good to know. Thanks.

Zoom out if necessary. It's the band of the town/area.

My brother liked Cars and Trucks and Things That Go so much that it became all he wanted my mom to read him. To entertain herself she started reading it as Cars and Trucks and Things That Stop, just using opposites for as many words as possible. This, of course, backfired and after his initial frustration, my brother preferred her to read it this way.

Yes. Or even composition of words. I remember during a class discussion translating "Thanksgiving" as "Danksgebung" on the fly. At least I greatly entertained my professor—and I'll never forget "Erntedankfest".

Naja. So ist es wenn man eine Fremdsprache spricht. Ich genieße nur diese Momenten wenn ich sie identifizieren kann. 😁
