You’re using that to download a program. If they can MitM the shell script, they can just as well MitM the program that you’ll run right after the download…

Anecdotal, but I actually stopped liking fictional stories at some point, because I realized there’s such an abundance of cool and real stories I could be learning about, that it’s just like “Why are you telling me of a phoenix/dragon/Lavados when there’s black hawks setting fire to Australia?”.

I guess, it also ties in, though, that I don’t do escapism in general either, so I don’t either get lost in real stories, nor drugs.
I had a rough point in my life where escapism was crucial – I certainly don’t judge anyone wanting to step outside of this world for some time – but yeah, that changed my fundamental world view, so that I prefer to stay in the real world now.

That is kind of funny, since there is genuinely a decent chance that someone who’s unwell is also obese or unfit or old…

I genuinely get headaches from techno. A colleague was recently on a techno festival and that just sounds like the seventh circle of hell for me…

Can we at least mention, though, that that’s kind of nonsensical, too? Give me a *very* high-level summary of what changed, but then the rest of the commit message should be the why (unless that’s genuinely obvious, like when adding a feature).

If I actually want to know what changed, I can look at the code changes. I can’t find the why anywhere else, though. Nor can an LLM having to describe those random code changes.

It’s a Linux concept. Basically, imagine you could have a Windows 11 PC with the Windows XP GUI or with the macOS GUI. In Linux, these kinds of different GUIs are just desktop environments, which you can install as you see fit.
Conversely, you can also have an OS without a desktop environment, which is basically what’s used on Linux server PCs.

I read elsewhere that it’ll have anti-cheat. If they don’t support Linux, anti-cheat will make it rather unlikely to work, since it will detect the mild differences between Proton and Windows as an attempt to cheat.

I use a hand-operated travel bidet, so it’s exactly as overpowered as my handshake is firm. 🙃

More seriously, I did say not everything past the sphincter will get cleared out. But yeah, I believe it is generally possible for humans to relax their sphincter, so if you angle the beam right, that should do the trick…

You can check whether you’re clean with a toilet paper, if you’re unsure. But I did so a few times at the beginning and never had stained toilet paper (so long as I didn’t stick it inside, I guess), so I don’t bother anymore.

In particular, you also feel cleaner when you regularly use a bidet (like you’re freshly showered), so that also makes it easier to feel when you aren’t clean…

Disagree about the assisting tool. Yes, you can still find shit, if you stick your finger up your bum hole, but you don’t need to powerwash your intestines to be clean. They’ll be full of shit soon after anyways. So long as the outside of the door is squeaky clean, that’s as clean as you’ll get.

If you search for “find duplicate files <your OS>” there seem to be some options…

It was an effort by multiple Unix vendors to create a common desktop environment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Desktop_Environment

I also enjoy “one”. There’s just a random “w” in there when you pronounce it.

We have a concept of word inflection, which can be used to replace a lot of words that English would use to denote something being a question, ownership markers, causes and effects etc.

I don’t speak Finnish, but I believe a good example for such an inflection is how in English you can glue an -s to words to make them plural. In some other languages, you say “many word” instead, because they don’t have such an inflection.

It’s mainly horrid, because it means you have to code extremely defensively (or I guess, use a different API).
You can’t rely on new Date("not a date") aborting execution of your function by throwing an error. Instead, you have to know that it can produce an Invalid Date object and check for that. Otherwise a random NaN shows up during execution, which is gonna be extremely fun to try to find the source of.

I understand that it’s implemented like that partially for historical reasons, partially because it’s often better to display “NaN” rather than nothing, but it’s still the sort of behavior that puts me in a cold sweat, because I should be memorizing all kinds of Best Practices™ before trying to code JavaScript.

(saying something more realistic like “2015” or whatever your inexperience or AI told you to)

User input is probably the big one where this API is gonna get stress-tested…

Hmm, I can believe that it was based on java.util.Date, but I don’t remember that being as unpredictable. I guess, a different API to begin with, would have avoided a lot of problems, though…

On a definitely related note, I’ve recently been thinking it’s wild how we build foot paths out of rocks and then put on rubber socks for actually walking on them.

In other words, asphalt is a scam by Big Foot to sell more shoes.
