At least for the first year.

Sometimes you even get to show off the cool, useful shit you built for them!

Sometimes I’ll copy paste the error message back to them. Apparently it works better when it’s in a text message.

Rust is straight up better than C. It’s safer and less prone to errors.

It’s not feasible to convert the entire Linux codebase at once. So your options are to either have a mixed codebase, or stick with effectively Cobol into 2020.

It’s not impossible. There are a lot of crypto grifters who have been prepping to scam the American government.

I realized immediately, read the comment, and then went back to look for a deeper meaning. It wasn’t there.

Also, do we just trust all these random libraries? Not just about malicious code, but also what kind of quality/usability are you including?

Big companies do not want to trust open package repositories. They attempt to take countermeasures (but how much can you do?)

The huge benefit of the standard library is that I can always trust it, and it will always be the idiomatic way to do things.

it was easier to reinstall than it was to figure out how I broke it in some new novel way.

I came to the same conclusion. But I couldn’t get it to reinstall. It kept wanting to use the old partition. (2001, maybe Ubuntu?)

So I knew how to solve that. If the linux installation is wiped, then it’ll surely allow me to reinstall fresh. So,

rm -rf /

Begins deleting files…

“Wait, my Windows partition is under that, isn’t it.” Ctrl+C frantically, it won’t stop. Pull the plug.

I did get my files back. Just, you know, without file paths or file names. Do you know how many DLLs and worthless text files there are, by the way?

At the time, everything HTTP was supposed to be public.

Especially on mobile.

Mumble is another strong, open source, self-hosted option.

you really shouldn’t be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway.

It’s a standard convention. Notice step #3 here: https://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index/lesson-08-1-setting-properties-with-a-class-constructor/

Edit: Step #4 is a different standard convention that also applies here.

It turns out that the easiest thing to program isn’t always the best application design.

Nope. Completely different.

Case is often used to distinguish scope. Lowercase is local while uppercase is public. “Name = name” is a pretty standard convention, especially in constructors.

There is a ubiquitous use case in programming. There is not in the file system.

Done! You should see about 4 reports in !linux . Take a peek and see what that looks like from whatever client(s) you normally use. Note that you’re not always obligated to take action on things that are reported. You know where the reports come from and have a good idea of how reliable they are.

We have a completely optional moderator discord here https://discord.gg/wKg6bhkM if you’re interested.

Thanks for helping out. If you have questions or need help at any point, let us know. You can PM me, there’s the discord, or there’s the info@lemmy.world email that goes to the instance admins.

Just blame the users. Easy.

For what? To keep track of who’s drinking coffee? Are you charging for coffee?

I didn’t understand the downvote I’m the first half… and then I read the rest.

I think it asks “Are you sure?” now first.
