Ever catch yourself saying “uhhh” too many times? Many people vow to cut back on relying on such verbal crutches once they realize they’re using them, but they’re not just filler. Um, really?

The National Security Agency released a free, public version of Ghidra, a set of tools developed internally for software reverse engineering. The agency will also release Ghidra's source code, allowing users to improve the framework's feature set and turn it into a more effective tool. Quick, someone call Godzilla to defeat Ghidra!
Or at least an obfuscator

Ha! The double exclamation is fairly common for coercing things to booleans.
I've occasionally seen the double ~ as a slightly faster Math.floor, usually used when performance isn't actually critical at all.
I've never seen someone use them both at the same time, though. I get what the writer of that code is trying to do, but somehow I doubt that this code is used somewhere that ~~ really makes a difference over the easier to read Math.floor.
For anyone wondering what this JS does, it is basically a lazy man's version of this:
if (Math.floor(data.Custom[record.ID].Value) > 0) {
field.setValue(true);
} else {
field.setValue(false);
}
In both cases, you'll end up with false if data.Custom[record.ID].Value is a string or object, because Math.floor("LOL") and Math.floor({}) both return NaN, and NaN > 0 evaluates to false.

But, but, but...
The ~~ totally negates the bitwise operation, right? Right? 
I mean
~~1 == 1
~~X == X
~X != X
~1 == -2
That's definitely weird looking code. I guess it is because of the Math.floor() thing.
~~7.234 == 7

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

"Chrome doesn't look like a modern Windows app now, and it never has. Edge does, and more so with each new version; Chromium Edge is a big step back."
In my opinion, looking like a modern Windows app is not a positive thing AT ALL. Their idea of a modern windows apps has taken a giant step back from Windows 7. Each successive revision has been a step back and they look more and more repulsive.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?
