thus rendering them redundant, because their strength is being bound to a single physical device. if they’re portable, they’re as good as asymmetric key pairs.

no, there is no difference. at least if ubuntu studio has hooked apt up to discover; it’s usually mainly used for flatpaks.

oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments

malbolge is a programming language

tcl is pretty fun actually, it’s like bash on steroids.

for a preview of the insanity: anything surrounded by "" is a string, with the variable expansion you’d expect. anything surrounded by {} is also a string, but with no expansion. the equivalent in bash is the backtick string. but you don’t need to know that to write tcl. if you approach {} as “code blocks” like in other languages, it just works. reason being that tcl evals everything, constantly, attaching little tags to strings that tells the language how things are used, like “this string is an integer” or “this string is code and here is the result from last time it ran”. it’s madness and, weirdly, robust as hell. Xilinx writes all their tooling in tcl. SQLite started life as a tcl module, and it’s still the only api that is not provided by a plugin.

having used swing and modern js, i still prefer tk.

some of you have never programmed in tcl and it shows

“web3” and “ai” on the front page.

blockchains have some use cases. “web3” is not it.

my favorite awk snippet is !x[$0]++ which is like uniq but doesn’t care about order. basically, it’s equivalent to print_this_line = line_cache[$current_line] == 0; line_cache[$current_line] += 1; if $print_this_line then print $current_line end.

really useful for those long spammy logs.

i was thinking maybe a hypothetical “global wine” could use the windows drive itself as its drive_c, which would bypass that issue.

you can run windows software on a windows partition using wine, but it is extremely brittle, since you’re going from a case-insensitive windows file system as well.

but very useful!

windows asks for admin access for everything. using a windows box as an unprivileged user is a nightmare

that’s far preferable tbh. i’m much more likely to try out some piece of software if it does not require sudo to install.

i like how you’ve managed to include just a single non-procedural language, and it’s the most interesting one by far, and you’re calling it obsolete. says a lot.

it’s buzzword speak for “connect chatgpt to your editor, tell it what you want, and blindly accept the answer”

you know, that’s on me.

but now that i’ve seen the actual trophy i do still regret opening the article. god that’s horrendous.

he doesn’t want money though so i wonder if he will opt out

i think we’re talking about different things.
