- LoganDark 6d agoAn infinite loop in JavaScript causes a different issue. It doesn't cause the rest of your tabs to stop working too. Or allegedly the entire rest of the OS though I can't reproduce that.
- JumpCrisscross 6d ago> Why does everyone hate this comment? "It's just" dismissals are annoying when they're blatantly wrong. An infinite-loop counter in Orion.app shouldn't cause my entire machine to freeze, down to being unable to force quit.
- StilesCrisis 6d agoBecause kernel panics are a wildly different class of bug than breaking one browser tab. An "Oh Snap" is the designed outcome of a JavaScript infinite loop. Crashing the whole computer is not.
- demibabs 6d ago"It's just" is usually an annoying way to start a comment.
- fuzzfactor 6d agoHate does seem to be on the rise across the board, even for fairly trivial things. About all one person can do is try to set a non-hate example. Plus provide a corrective upvote from time to time especially when a knee-jerk robot is suspected, or a maybe it's an actual person where you can't tell the difference. Sometimes it gets so bad that people hate it when you try to keep a decent article from plummeting under the depths of a sea of slop. I think it's well-recognized that robots are more prevalent than ever and it doesn't seem to be making things better at this point.
