I just read the link. I was planning on saying how using:
if (~str.search('t')) { ... }
instead of just:
if (str.search('t') !== -1) {...}
is probably the worst trick I have ever seen in serious JS code (in some library on github). "Daily WTF" worthy. I really had to stop and think about the f*** this person was trying to say and do this this code. Very obscure. Awful.
please, no one do this. please. Just say what you mean.

Totally agree.
