minus-square@juliebean@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglish3•2 days agodoes javascript not allow you to interpret integers as booleans in a conditions directly? seems it’d be simpler to just do math.round(math.random()), which should still get you true (1) or false (0) in equal likelihood. or am i missing something?
