Starting with Java 21 (I think), they've introduced ignored variables, so you can now actually do this:

try {
    operation();
} catch (Exception _) {
    // nice weather, eh?
}

Edit: forgot that this is about JS lel

Thanks. I hate it.

with contextlib.suppress(BaseException):
    do_thing()

On error goto 0 

Was always syntacticly confusing for me.

I legitimately use this line in one of my scripts because range.find returns an error of the value is not found. The use case is taking a 2d matrix saved as an array, with data collected from multiple excel tabs and rearranging it for a CSV upload into Salesforce. The initial array contains values that the rest of the data does not have, so when I search for a non existent value, I can skip the error.

Of course vba COULD just implement try/catch statements and that'd be so much cleaner, but alas.

this is fucking gold

That's when you do CTRL+C, CTRL+V

No, > /dev/null 2>&1 is. If try your example but with file instead null, stderr content not in file.

Because x>y not redirect x to y, but duplicate y and set x to y-duplicate. See bash manpage REDIRECTION (your example in that section for what not work).

As i understand, your example set 2 to what 1 is, then set 1 to null. Now 2 not null, but what 1 before.
