00:50 <alexgordon> yo

02:15 <pikajude> yo

02:45 <ja> ec: how do i override [] in js?

02:45 <pikajude> write a new interpreter

02:45 <ja> so i can do leik `ppl['ec'] = "huge sodomizer"`

02:45 <ja> or no

02:45 <ja> leik

02:46 <pikajude> what do you mean

02:46 <ja> ec: so i can do leik `ppl['ec'].isA "huge sodomizer"`

02:46 <pikajude> override?

02:46 <ja> so I can call methods

02:46 <ja> on something dynamically returned by [] on some object

02:46 <pikajude> ppl['ec'] = { isA: function() { ... } }?

02:46 <ja> pika pls

02:46 <ja> pls dynamic

02:46 <ja> def index_missing name

02:46 <ja> hehe

02:46 <alexgordon> ja: is ec teaching you paws?

02:46 <ja> no.

02:47 <ja> +alexgordon:

02:47 <alexgordon> ja: you can't

02:47 <alexgordon> ja: unless you use Proxy

02:47 <ja> alexgordon: o.

02:47 <ja> how does meteor do it¿

02:47 <alexgordon> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy

02:47 <ja> Template['projects/index'].events 'click .edit.button': ->

02:47 <ja> for leik this

02:47 <ja> thx

02:47 <alexgordon> ja: it probably populates the fields automatically? with like a loop...

02:48 <ja> “Browser compatibility: Safari: ?” (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

02:48 <alexgordon> I would highly recommend against using Proxy

02:48 <ja> rite

02:48 <ja> rly?

02:48 <ja> but…

02:48 <alexgordon> just use a normal function

02:48 <alexgordon> what's wrong with functions?

02:49 <ja> `ReferenceError: Can't find variable: Proxy` ┻━┻︵╰(゜Д゜)╯︵┻━┻

02:49 <ja> alexgordon: nothin

02:49 <ja> just curious

02:49 <ja> nd thought it looked cool x3 lol jk xx

02:49 <purr> lol

02:50 <ja> hi ec

02:50 <ja> u bytch

02:50 <ja> lol

02:50 <ja> u guise think `EditableTable('projects').beginEditing()` would be cool den?

02:50 <ec> wait wtf

02:50 <ja> for `$('.editable.table .edit.button').text("Done").addClass('primary') and $('.editable.table .trash.button').show() and …`

02:50 <ec> I got notifications for messages that aren't showing up

02:50 <ja> wot

02:50 <ja> ec fix it

02:50 <ja> pls

02:51 <ja> u cant not get nofiy

02:51 <ja> EC NOFY PL)X

03:10 <alexgordon> lol

03:10 <purr> lol

03:17 <ja> i love that meteor x'es that refreshing count

03:17 <ja> so you can really tell when you're on a spree

03:19 <ja> the spree breaks on exceptions actually… O__O

03:20 <ja> :<

03:21 <ja> https://upl.io/l3zcoc lol how tight

03:21 <purr> lol

04:21 <mkroman> unlike ur mom

04:24 <ja> ya well i rewrote it anyway

04:41 <ja> guise

04:41 <ja> bai

05:28 <ja> ec, alexgordon: is this really the best way to do this with the `.length is 0`?: https://upl.io/x8xape —.—

05:29 <ja> with jQuery, id est

05:29 <alexgordon> is?

05:29 <alexgordon> why not ==

05:29 <alexgordon> man that confuses my python brain because in python "is" does something totally different

05:31 <alexgordon> ja: it's someone redundant but useful in a dynamic language for reinforcement

05:35 <alexgordon> ja: also it's funny you think I know about programming :P

05:36 <alexgordon> ec thinks I can't code to save my life

09:12 <pikajude> "is"

09:12 <pikajude> hey alexgordon maybe it's because you like dumb languages

21:43 <ec> alexgordon: what why would you think that

21:43 <ec> you get Haskell, I don't, you're already leagues ahead of me

21:43 <ec> I think *I'm* the dumbest programmer I personally know.

21:43 <ec> I'm absolutely terrible; I'm just really enthusiastic. :P

21:45 <ec> ja: it's not a *terrible* idea to do []

21:46 <ec> depends on your purposes; if you're exclusively targeting node or new-shit, then you can dynamically create setters/getters on an object

21:46 <ec> realize that foo['bar'] is literally identical to foo.bar, and all you'll be doing is setting up a setter-function for `foo.bar = …`

21:48 <ec> but yes, as long as you're targeting Very Modern stuff; and your API will be informed of all the names of things in other ways before they're used like this (so that it can create the setters); and you're sure that your use-case is one that your users won't find this behaviour surprising for …

21:48 <ec> then go for it.
