the unequality test is more portable
i actually used it in CUDA, afterwards i found out there exists an isnan(x) builtin function
now porting to other languages is more easy

Then surely one will want to do:
if(a > b && a <= b && a != b && !isNaN(a + b)) { }

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

laugh all you wish, but that's not to far fetched from something some of the tiddlywinks I had classes with would do. Might be why I have a job and they don't but, that's another issue...

LOL, that's fantastic.
Designers are like women, you can't understand!

This a standard design pattern (SDP) used by Governments, NATO, UN etc in deciding when to take action when civilians are being killed or persecuted
"No matter what - don't doing anything"
Clearly the designer is very well read and is destined for great things.
Note:
The design pattern is also used in banking to calculate if the bonus should be
a. Very large
or
b. Just embarrassingly large.
Athough it has to be admitted the design pattern is somewhat flawed as no banker has ever been embarrassed!

Should we assume that it wasn't done intentionally as a temporary bypass?
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't apply to Javascript, but in languages that allow separately overloaded operators, this could have a (nefarious) significance.
|
|
|
|

and thats why they can't (designers(can't code)).
Excuse the pun.

I was to assist repair a computer.
I went comfotable assuming it was a small issue.
I found on the users machine destop full of files my attitude began changing.
I asked the problem and told that the computer has to be restarted to work,
I checked, on moving the mouse the computer hangs and nothing could be done
then i restarted it, i realised that the computer was fully loaded with virus.
I tried installing antivirus, no .exe could open then i vomitted
I only read newbie introductory dummy books.

Remove your 5 fingers from your throat. The vomitting should cease.

That's highly interesting.
I won’t not use no double negatives.

So, you went to repair a computer and you found a problem with it? My god, man, you must report this to every law enforcement agency that will listen!

Isn't it great how wonderful you feel after you puke?
Don't push the rush.

the relief that its over, the relief of the pressure inside and the knowledge that you now have room for another bacon burger...oh yeah

Over the weekend, I had a burger covered with chopped pork, topped with bacon. It was pig-tastic. There is always room for another bacon burger.

Actually, there was BBQ sauce, as well as a bun and a leaf of lettuce, but I didn't mention that because it seemed like a given.

My wife has a secret recipe for Hawaiian Pineapple Burgers. The patty has a round slice of pineapple placed on top of it and partially squeezed into the patty. It is then wrapped completely around in an X pattern with two slices of bacon. The patties are then placed in a 'special' marinade for about 12 to 14 hours. And then you cook them. You can then garnish the burger with anything you like, 'cause as you know, anything goes with bacon. These burgers are the moistest I've ever eaten.
