Yep. I’ve also used a paper clip, straightened out with a very small bend at the end.

I’ve also used chewing gum, though you have to wait it for it to harden a little. Duct tape might work too.

You only have to get it to move out a tiny amount. Then you can get a pair of needle nose pliers on it and pull it out.

That particular key looks challenging though.

Amen

It’s not just a shitty disease…. It’s a shitty disease that the Social Security Administration really, REALLY does not like to pay out disability for. Mostly because, unless something has changed recently, it’s hard to prove that you actually have it because it defies easily quantifiable medical testing, among other things.

So, it would be a curse on multiple levels!

As someone else who was a kid in the 80s, I promise you that almost no movie that you or I saw in that entire decade was a kids movie.

We must do these things so that the deep lore does not become legend and is, in time, forgotten…

Thank you!

Almost everything the author complains about has nothing to do with JS. The author is complaining about corporate, SaaS, ad-driven web design. It just so happens that web browsers run JavaScript.

In an alternate universe, where web browsers were designed to use Python, all of these same problems would exist.

But no, it’s fun to bag on JS because it has some quirks (as if no other languages do…), so people will use the word in the title of their article as nerd clickbait. Honestly, it gets a little old after a while.

Personally, I think JS and TS are great. JS isn’t perfect, but I’ve written in 5 programming languages professionally, at this point, and I haven’t used one that is.

I write a lot of back end services and web servers in Node.js (and Express) and it’s a great experience.

So… yeah, the modern web kind of sucks. But it’s not really the fault of JS as a language.

I believe the reason a function or method in an object does not need the “function” keyword has to do with the fact that JS is built on the prototype model and the fact that functions are first class in JS.

As the saying goes, “Everything is an object in JavaScript…” (which is not strictly true).

How there is not a reference to TMP-era Scotty, and his sweet ‘stache, I do not understand…

Yeah, there are various episodes that establish that different functions can be transferred to different bridge stations over the course of TNG.

I think when Data is piloting the ship from his old seat in PIC S3, that is what is happening, in universe.

I hate to be THAT guy, but…. That’s not the helm. That is Ops!

I assume you mean fascist propaganda over and above the right wing rabbit holes that already exist on YouTube….

Ugh, this is terrible.

Effectively?

Yeah, that’s what it means.
