I knew navarr
<
Hrorek>
We once talked over email when i was like 11 years old before discovering him here
<
Hrorek>
He was making a Pokemon MMORPG
<
pikajude>
how'd it go
<
Hrorek>
don't remember
<
Hrorek>
That was like 9 years ago
<
pikajude>
like half of everyone here's life
<
pikajude>
except ec who is at least 50
<
Hrorek>
this was it
<
pikajude>
i played a different pokemon MMO awhile ago
<
pikajude>
it was just pokemon with other people walking around
<
Hrorek>
Man, I can't believe I have been on the internet for 10 years
<
Hrorek>
that's more than half the time I have been alive
<
pikajude>
yes it is
<
pikajude>
daily reminder that javascript is rubbish
<
Hrorek>
I discovered a very annoying thing today
<
Hrorek>
If you have code where element.onclick is used 2 times it will silently fail
<
Hrorek>
more of a DOM thing but it infuriated me for like an hour
<
creationix>
Hrorek, you mean if you replace one listener with a new one, the old one won't fire anymore?
<
Hrorek>
and it wouldn't give any warning
<
creationix>
it makes sense if you think about. It's just a property. How should the dom know that you didn't want to overwrite the property
<
creationix>
you should use .addEventListener if you want multiple listeners
<
Hrorek>
I just had the code duplicated, didn't intend to make a new listener
<
creationix>
yeah, that can be frustrating
<
creationix>
remember, computers are dumb, they do exactly what we tell them
* creationix
goes back to work before he starts preaching about how Javscript is not bad, it's just misunderstood.
<
pikajude>
computers are only as dumb as whoever designed them
<
pikajude>
same goes for compilers
<
pikajude>
and languages
<
pikajude>
if you use a language that purposefully will not tell you whether any old random value is actually defined
<
pikajude>
what can i say
<
ec^>
