Not really a joke but still funny:

Did you know that ++[[]][+[]]+[+[]] evaluates to the string "10" in Javascript?

And/or horrifying. Yet strangely fascinating. I feel a bit like this is a prototype of the Enki virus from Snowcrash (Edit: Or was Inanna the virus and Enki the cure? Can't remember.)

So, trying to work this out: +[] is a trick where an empty list is coerced into a zero, right? So it's ++[[]][0]+[0]. And the zeroth element of the first list is an empty list, so it's ++[]+[0]. Then the increment operator coerces the empty list to a zero and adds one to it, giving 1+[0] which then turns into a "10" via string concatenation for some reason...?

I recall someone asking for confirmation that one is true and zero is false in C, to which some genius replied "1".

I was having trouble with my internet at the farm, so I moved the modem to the barn.

Now I have stable wifi.
