"Death to the Beast": a real thing that exists

[sujato]

Just happened across the following function in the SC source code:

deathToTheBeast() {

    let outputText = '';
    if (inputText.indexOf('ṃ') > -1 || inputText.indexOf('Ṃ') > -1) {

    } else {
      outputText = inputText.replace(/ṁ/g, 'ṃ').replace(/Ṁ/g, 'Ṃ');
    }
    this.inputElement.innerHTML = outputText;
  }

Eh, yes. I made that! I know Blake made the original one on the legacy site but I made this one.

Following on from the Easter Egg thread, I will give a few hints here. The first one is not really a hint but a dead give-away because otherwise you would never find it. Easter Egg 1: Go to any page in pali in latin script and press ALT-M. That’s it. See what happens. This will be extremely exciting for some and very boring for others Explanation: In the beginning, ṃ was more widely available in many fontsets and hence became more widely used. When it came to usage on SuttaCentral, Bh…

let metta = lives.reduce((suffering,life,i)=> , craving);

@karl_lew

let metta = lives.reduce((suffering,life,i)=> , craving);

If i may intrepret the statement:

1. craving is the initial suffering
2. is the result of applying metta to the accumulated suffering from previous lifes in current life

If i may intrepret the statement:

And “i” is useless

@sujato

{ outputText = inputText.replace(/ṃ/g, ‘ṁ’).replace(/Ṃ/g, ‘Ṁ’); } else

get replaced.moment.to.moment. . .

Whaat, I missed that, too conditioned to see ‘i’ as real rather than imaginary
