I don't work on that sort of software (Bob be praised), but I try to pay attention to things like how I loop and cache stuff and how to use multiple threads and database connections effectively.

I was writing
var dualScreenTop = window.screenTop ?? screen.top;
And wondering why it wasn't working.
Maybe because I'm using Javascript. 
I :heart: ??

Yeah, I know, but it just feels...wrong. It's like adding two bitmask flags instead of putting on a pair of pants like a civilised person and ORing them.
(and what I really want is the ?? in Javascript to do
var dualScreenTop = window.screenTop !== undefined ? window.screenTop : screen.top;
ie. a little bit of type checking. And yes, I know that's an oxymoron in Javascript.

It certainly feels wrong. But then, it's Javascript; the whole language is one big steaming pile of nope.

Don't you listen to him!
Everyone whines about stuff like pizza or french fries being horrid junk food.
But then they all line up to buy and eat them.
And so it is with javaScript.
Perhaps an allegorical junk-food language, but deep down, don't we all love junk food?

I had found one of these[^] under the christmas tree (put it there myself)
It's very nice and well as it is as long as I fly it as a plain 'broomstick'. Eventually I might put it into a scale fuselage, like a Sikorsky S-58 or a Wessex[^]. The problem is that I need a torque tube for the tail rotor, not a belt drive.
Now look what I just found: Align Torque Tube Drive Upgrade Set (T-Rex 500X)[^]
Edit: Animated video how to assemble that thing[^]
Edit^2: And I will need one of these.[^]

What? Act? Are you a painter? Or a pervert? Both?

The words, I hear them, but what do they want to tell us with them? LISP is the software equivalent of waterboarding.

Long ago I had to do some AutoLisp in AutoCAD 10, most dreadful experience ever !
But rum appeals to me somehow, why would that be, harrr ?

That's no excuse for commenting the act paintings he got of me. Where did he get it anyway? Should I not have been there when it was made?

In Devon. Most unusual, but later today into tomorrow we are expected to have a veritable blizzard. Should be amusing.

My son lives in Falmouth and they have had snow there.

Dunno about amusing - it's cold as a very cold thing: -5C when I took herself to work.
So cold, that the batteries in the key fob lost power and refused to lock the car. And when I fitted new batteries (two CR2025's, measured at 6.6V instead of the 5.2V for the old ones) the fob stopped working in shock ... It's now working fine on the old batteries, go figure.
Still I learned something new today: you can see the infrared LED on the keyfob light up if you use your mobile phone camera!
We're predicted for loads of white nasty stuff around midday.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

That's not cold. That's mild spring weather. At night we currently have below -15C and even now we have blue skies and -9C. After lunch I might try to catch a few sunrays.
