@tlhall
if i understand correctly, by “casting”, you mean a operator-like syntax to convert type?
as in 「(double) n」 in java.

or, do you mean, automatic/implicit type conversion?

as far as i know, geeks recommend to avoid implicit type conversion. So, casting is good.

what
@Atom_Rocket said further confused me. It seems on totally another interpretation.
as far as i know, casting is just explicit type conversion, and geeks like explicit. (including me)

@irritable

that's proper use of emoji.

@progo it's just a picture of a child in glitz.

i didn't follow the debate myself. I was just commenting the picture.

@progo that's strange. i tried on a different browser it showed up fine.

@JimDMac yeah.

i think it began in 1990s, afaik.
never actually thought about it.
it's just the helping, be positive, kinda trend. And i think today we are seeing the consequences.

@monerica
like button doesn't make good post become popular. It makes cats pics or angry or outrageous posts popular.

Before like button is invented by facebook ~2006, the situation is better. Controversial or dramatic posts still spread more than good, reasoned, or well written posts. But the latter do spread, by people. People refer to them. (sans any online gaming system such as hackernews)

dramatic posts spread faster but that's just human nature, true of any public forum in history.
