<Hrorek> pikajude, I am
<pikajude> hi
<purr> pikajude: hi!
<pikajude> i don't really know anybody here other than ec and nuck
<pikajude> despite being a regular for like 5 years
<Hrorek> ha

<Hrorek> 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> heh
<pikajude> how'd it go
<Hrorek> don't remember
<Hrorek> That was like 9 years ago
<pikajude> 9 years
<pikajude> like half of everyone here's life
<pikajude> except ec who is at least 50
<Hrorek> this was it
<pikajude> neat
<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> yes
<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> well
<pikajude> what can i say
<ec^> hello
<ec^> I just got accepted into IIT
<ec^> I'm officially a college student at 26 o_o
