Then js shouldn't be used at all, because it's not fit-for-purpose for such things.
Try to get this idea through to the people who make decisions about what to use.
Put it in a way that makes it understandable -- e.g. tell them that they don't want their trousers made out of the same material as their shirts, even though they wear both.

I'm not sure what you're getting on about; but I find cotton athletic shorts made from the same sort of fabric as the t-shirts I wear in my free time much more comfortable than the dressier pants I need to wear to work.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Anybody else like the HBO series Silicon Valley? Silicon Valley (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]
The missus started recording it for me a few weeks ago, but I only got around to watching the last 3 episodes last night and found it to be quite amusing...for a show about a bunch of geeks and a software company!

I started watching "The IT Crowd[^]" on Netflix (it does stream). Funny show. I'll have to check out Silicon Valley.

There were a few mentions of 'The IT Crowd' being a good watch...now on my list. Thanks.

I haven't seen it, but I bet it's not as good as The IT Crowd[^].

I implemented a HaltAndCatchFire function in C once.
The hardware had a PSU controlled by a Microchip uProcessor (one of the eight leg jobbies) which selected the right transformer coils in order to work on an massive range of mains voltages - IIRC 60VAC to 300VAC.
And we had problems with a distributor who had a habit of buying a few machines, then never buying any more - but producing his own.
So...the software had a large number of checks built into it to make sure that it was legal, and the hardware was right. If it wasn't...it instructed the uP to switch the transformer to Seriously Stupid Voltages and burn the heck out of the PCB. HCF. Sorted.
Unfortunately, the PSU was changed to a switch-mode, and I lost the ability to have the software commit hari-kari...

If you like Mike Judge's other stuff (Office Space, Idiocracy, etc), you'll like Silicon Valley. It's that kind of humor.

And this differs from people being paid to post positive reviews on Amazon and the like?
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

And competitors paying people to post negative reviews on Amazon. I've seen my share of those reviews too!

If you cannot discern the difference between chicanery in the private sector with a government trying to suppress the truth from its people - well I doubt I could get the concept across to you.
(And in the commercial corner, Ali Baba's fake sales number by paying people to buy and return items (only reporting the sale part) is rather innovative if you prefer sleaze).
