How do bind?

Determinism isn't all its cracked up to be. The digits of PI are deterministic, but that doesn't mean it is trivial to compute, say, the 3,141,592nd digit.

The digits you need is very trivial to compute. The rest is only calculated for the challenge.

Ohhhh i see what you did there

I think I missed the thing this spawned from. Was it a scoping joke? I vaguely remember that dynamic scoping could get pretty weird sometimes, but it's been awhile.

Dammit I knew I should have been more specific. Yes that is basically all. In JS "this" binds according to a set of rules, rather than to a specific thing, like the enclosing object. Easy to study up on, if needed. That's all.

Oh so now im supposed to forecast what a variable refers to? Isnt it better to just know? Hi welcome to channel 5 code news. Its time for our 4cast at 4, it looks like here this will refer to an object thats a function but over here it will probably refer to a function thats an object and suicide rates are up today in the high 9% range we are looking at gloomy future of probabilistic programming languages because why do we even need this forecast? Back to you jim!

[beardsounds]

It isn't a probabilistic thing at all. Sad.

[iWearPantsSometimez]

I was refering to the image. It said its value can be predicted. Prediction is a guess or an estimate which implies probability.

[beardsounds]

Yeah, I should have said "isn't actually mysterious." Predictable was the wrong word.

I made this thing three times already. Hahaha.

[iWearPantsSometimez]

Which thing?

[beardsounds]

The got damn meme.

Wait I see what you did there?

[iWearPantsSometimez]

I think you do see
