better to go that way than this (note the weekly downloads)
- The best part is the dependency on the function is_odd.
  
  Which itself has a dependency of the function is_number.
  
  dear Lord lmfao
  
  That is one deep rabbit hole.
- If I was a JS programmer, I'd just write a bash script to download it every week for fun.
- 300,000 every week... is this really a feature not built into Java Script?

  x % 2 == 0
  
  the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.
  
  It's dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)
  
  And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.

Damn bro I haven’t seen this meme format in over 20 years! Hopefully you don’t spend all that time debugging those proprietary functions ya goof
- I'm just an old fart programming a neopixel as a hobby.
  
  Make it faster and jankier with precalculated lookup tables!
- Vintage meme indeed.
  
  This dude always looked like a college aged Gregory House to me.
What a refreshing meme use. Makes me want a beer actually.
