Web Geeks, The Two Mental Universes: Us != Them

We are the lazy wandering magical internets sorcerers and sorceresses; A sub-species of man; Most quite possibly an evolution.

At many points in our lives, we have crossed mental barriers to be ever so fluent citizens of the HTML. Some have reached higher peaks than others but in fact, the most essential mental barrier we have crossed at some point is the one that got us right here.

Thus, the second mental universe became and is, that’s where we now morally and psychologically bathe. We soak in it. We are very young, lots of our founding figures are still active today. We are constantly evolving our universe with memorabillia, memes and ideas. Attempting to achieve a perfect world where everybody has equal rights and equal shares.

I disagree with all Wikipedia critics in one very important aspect of the question — they’re missing the angle.  Wikipedia is definitely not an encyclopedia of their universe but instead is one of ours. It is imported data, brought into this new world by our own hands with our own means. It’s more true than reality itself in this universe. Like mathematics, we created it this way.

There are “uncorrect formulas” or “missing variables” but mathematics in itself is a perfect science, 1 is 1 because we say so, and the variables can always be assumed until proven or provable. Mathematics is dynamic in it’s nature; it can evolve. The tool is unflawed. And therefore whence the internet and we became…

The internet is so, because we are so.

So who are we? Well, in the outside world you’ll have to rely on the great thinkers that were Sartre and Heidegger and all those who followed to answer that question but in this universe, you can either google it up or ask the global consciousness, tap into the ether.

You can “talk with God” about anything and he will answer, you can probably send a Twitter to @satan himself! There’s really no point in arguing anymore, we have special places we call forums here to do that. Have you seen 4chan lately? We if you haven’t… go click on some sick shit, indulge in what you are and embrace it.

There is nothing else but this. Until we poison ourselves to death, might as well do the sickest shit you ever could’ve done — may it be lovingly or by holding up the gun.

Save the global namespace (and gain an object refference for free!)

I see a lot of this:

(function(){
var myLib = window.myLib = {whatever:true}
})()

Where you can easily save a variable

(function myLib(){
   window.myLib = myLib;
})()

Javascript Shrunk Part 1

3 Ways of building the same javascript counter

The two “slowest”

  var a = function() {

      if (!arguments.callee.i) arguments.callee.i = 0;

      return ++arguments.callee.i;

  }

  var b = function() {

      return arguments.callee.i ? ++arguments.callee.i: arguments.callee.i = 0;

  }

The two “fastest”

  var c = function() {

      return this.i ? ++this.i: this.i = 0;

  }

  var d = function() {

      return this.i = ++this.i || 0;

  }

Example Output:

  a() // => 1

  a() // => 2

  a() // => 3

  ...

  b() // => 1

  b() // => 2

  b() // => 3

  etc...
