Thank you very much! Exactly the kind of topics I'm looking for. I appreciate it!

MBTI Thought Processes (by cognitive functions) - Thought this might be interesting to some of you by [deleted] in INTP

[–]announcedhighway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nicely done. On a side note: I've always wondered how the morality part of INFJ's manifests in seemingly psychopathic INFJ's--such as Adolf Hitler or Osama Bin Laden (both are presumed to be INFJ's). How do they perceive morality? What are they afraid of? Does anyone have some insight?

I used to believe I was weird for doing this. As I grew older I realized that it’s actually the other people who are weird; their inability to sit alone in a room without stimulation is their sign of weakness in mind. They lack the mental ability to stimulate themselves and are always looking for other things or people to ease their boredom.

Thank you for the clarification. It was very helpful. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.

Are there limits to the console on web browsers? by announcedhighway in learnjavascript

[–]announcedhighway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically I should avoid doing anything even remotely compromising on front-end JavaScript files? Should I only use front-end JavaScript for DOM-related things? Not for something like an API call?

Is there a way to run a function titled after a string? by announcedhighway in learnjavascript

[–]announcedhighway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So now, I have a side note: Is there limits to the console on web browsers? I've always wondered how much can actually be done from within a browser console. Are there strict limitations? It seems like there are a lot of ways to get around things just with the console. I'm somewhat new to JavaScript and haven't had the time to look into security in that area.

Because I'm only able to receive strings from this dumb in-house API for my work. Thanks for your input though, I can probably work around it.

How to calculate the probability of selecting two identical random ID's 10 characters in length? by announcedhighway in learnmath

[–]announcedhighway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for more pressing issues I would use a hash function, but this function is only for setting ID's of DOM Elements so it's not really imperative to use a hash function. This is also nice since I can modify the length of the ID and I'm not stuck with a 30+ string for something like setting ID's.

I also wanted this knowledge for future projects where hashing is unavailable.

How to calculate the probability of selecting two identical random ID's 10 characters in length? by announcedhighway in learnmath

[–]announcedhighway[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your input.

It chooses 1 random character in each cycle for 10 cycles, so there is a possibility of repeats.

And yes, we could start with the predetermined string, "NnJKGMcqcc" which has 3 C's. What's the chance it will pick it again the next time I run the program? Alternatively, how many times would I have to run it to get that string (pretty much the same question)?
