This just affirms the idea that Nintendo doesn't care about legality, they are extremely litigious and will attack anything and everything they perceive to be as harmful to them whether it is actually harmful or not.

You say that, but it happens all of the time. Its immensely painful of an experience. Painters who lose their sight, musicians who damage their fingers, car lovers who get too old to drive... That's just the fragility of life and people deal with it in different ways. Some people overcome it, some don't. I think it's important to recognize that reality and still choose to love those things knowing full well it could all end tomorrow. Identity is composed of so many things, some we have control over, some not. Of course it's going to be a messy endeavour

I also write tutorials and guides on my tiny blog because other people have inspired me with their writing. I have great memories of trying to answer a question about some obscure Unix or programming thing, only to come across some minimalist 90s style blog that had already explored those ideas. it's such a vibe when you are in the zone at 2am digging through the internet and using that resource to bang out some code.

Wow, that's a really interesting point. I guess I've never stopped to think about the impact these names have. I of course saw how Asian people were treated during COVID times and the impact that had. One does have to wonder if the media would have that same smoke for Missouri.

What does that mean?

Is it 2? I'm not exactly sure though. I'm interested in hearing the logic

Tbf it's almost always applicable. Get more rest, drink more water, exercise and have a better diet, is universally good advice.

I love zsh auto completion for this stuff. It automatically escapes really messed up paths like paths with new lines or emojis and crazy characters like that. Its really rare but I still intentionally practiced removing these things just so I can do it safely if it ever happens.

Understood. I will do that. Thanks.

Isn't this overly complicated for what amounts to what could be a single file with 7 lines of information, instead of 3-5 tar archives that contain a single file with 1-3 lines of information?

but still, that was a pretty interesting write up.

Golang has also had these types for quite a long time

and it varies widely. I pay $170 a month for 30mbps down and 15 up lmao and I have 2 options to choose from who have the exact same service for the exact same price. Telecoms in the US is beyond horrifyingly bad.

Exactly. FBI gathers crime statistics from every police department across the nation, and most States also do an independent set of statistics on crime. There is absolutely nothing to indicate that they are lying, and their personal incentive is to the exact opposite, as they receive more funding in times where crime is higher. These institutions already make up the majority of most City and State budgets, its well into the billions. But good luck ever trying to reason with people, crime has been used for emotional manipulation on social media and news for decades now, facts don't matter to most people on this topic.

Isn't it the opposite? They don't want to be blamed if something happens so they uphold a blatantly unjust ruling. To be clear, thats not how any of this works. You can't just imprison someone indefinitely because they "might" do something.

it is truly baffling... My personal theory is that society dehumanizes prisoners and felons constantly, especially through media and through cultural means. So I believe that bias plays a LOT into how people perceive blatant injustice against them. This is inherently denying a human being their basic rights to a trial and basic dignity.

Im genuinely repulsed by the general sentiment here (and in general) regarding incarcerated people. It doesn't help that crime based reporting has been flooding social media and news channels at disproportionate rates post 9/11's 24 hour news cycle. Its almost always an obvious attempt to evoke an emotional response too, despite crime steady decreasing over 50+ years by a fairly large margin.

"just dont use LinkedIn" is such a narrow minded thing to say. How do you feasibly expect people to exist in society without interacting with any of these systems and corporations? if its not LinkedIn its Indeed or w/e else. They all collect data and most of them are pumping it into some kind of LLM or behavioral analysis algo. That is not functionally different than the argument for the Government doing it, except for that the Gov has a monopoly on violence.

This applies for pretty much everything in our daily life like banking, shopping etc... "just don't interact" is such a useless nothing-burger that side-steps the problem entirely. You can "solve" all societal problems by becoming a hermit, moving to the woods and living off the land... but that is not a functional or reasonable thing to do for 99.99% of people. Its baffling especially when the reasonable solution is simply having a bare minimum standards of protection across the board, which many countries already implement to great effect.

Not exactly the same but I use my Steamdeck for this while I'm traveling. It's honestly pretty nice. Although carrying around an old M1 mac with Asahi Linux on it isn't that much of a hassle either.

I thought of creating something similar and I was going to use a personal fork of the Go compiler with some mods, anko (which is a really cool go binding language) or righting my own DSL. It's quite the undertaking.

I like Nix and NixOS a lot, its really cool, but it has some really odd management issues and the language IMO is horrendous. I used NixOS for around a year and I was changing my Nixpkgs version and I got that same generic nonsense error that doesn't have any semantic meaning and I was just over it. I'm not too fond of commenting out random parts of code to figure out where something minor and obscure failed. Sometimes it tells you the module it had a problem with, or will point out an out of place comma, and other times its just like "idk bruh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "failed at builtin 'seq'" is the best I can do"

the paradigm is a million dollar idea though. I have no doubt its the future of a large portion of the future, both for programming and generic systems. I just wish it wasn't a pain to write and it had some sensible error handling.

I'm not sure how that would imply anything about the past. We as a society have spent decades defanging the public school system through changing school to be test score driven, tying a schools funding to the local property value, making them less effective and less safe, choking them out financially etc... it should be no surprise that children are not equipped to navigate modern life. I've been though these systems, they are deeply flawed.

It's almost like its a systemic failure that is artificially created so that people wont think critically... hmmm

tangentially related, but Marx also predicted that crypto and NFT's would exist in 1894 [1] and I only bring it up because its kind of wild how we keep crossing these "red lines" without even blinking. It's like that meme:

Sci-fi author:

I created the Torment Nexus to serve as a cautionary tale...

Tech Company:

Alas, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic Sci-fi novel "Don't Create the Torment Nexus"

Yea, obviously not, but the smaller problems this bigger project was composed of were things that you could see anywhere. I made heavy use of string manipulation that could be generally applied to basically anything

I think the authors intention was to pull any positives from this document that they could, but it seems almost negligent to not even mention the "no doesn't mean no" section of this document. As well as the context of the current ongoing gigantic mess, where Mr Beast tortured a guy while doing a "I spent X Hours in Solitary Confinement" video, and had to scrap it after the contestant was harmed.

They refused to shut the lights off for days on end and then coerced the contestant to run a literal marathon on a treadmill... and then there's the sexual abuse allegations high up in his team, hiring a convicted child predator and someone else with a long sexual abuse criminal history, among other things. I'm not sure I would talk his business practices up without directly making some kind of distinction or acknowledgement here.

Or people say "I've been pumping out thousands of lines of perfectly good code by writing paragraphs and paragraphs of text explaining what I want!" its like what are you programming dog? and they will never tell you, and then you look at their github and its like a dead simple starter project.

I recently built a Brainfuck compiler and TUI debugger and I tested out a few LLM's just to see if I could get some useful output regarding a few niche and complicated issues, and it just gave me garbage that looked mildly correct. Then I'm told its because I'm not prompting hard enough... I'd rather just learn how to do it at that point. Once I solve that problem, I can solve it again in the future in .25x the time.

It is genuinely insane that US Colleges are basically holdings companies at this point. They priority is investments. It seems hostile to the goal of students

people are legitimately buying farming land in the US and currently suing farmers for "anti-trust" for refusing to sell them their land so that they can quite literally create a crypto based sovereign micro-nation of wealthy tech VC's. [1] and I think that is a selfish, vile and delusional thing to do. It has nothing to do with "thought police" its as simple as looking at the impact of their actions and beliefs and making the decision to reject that way of thinking and way of life.

except for the fact that it is slower than hell and the syntax is nuts. I don't really understand the comparison, bash is basically just command glue for composing pipelines and pwsh is definitely more of a full-fledged language... but to me, I use bash because its quick and dirty and it fits well with the Unix system.

If I wanted the features that pwsh brings I would much rather just pick a language like Golang or Python where the experience is better and those things will work on any system imaginable. Whereas pwsh is really good on windows for specifically administrative tasks.

Im pretty sure its just 4.0 but it re-prompts itself a few times before answering. It costs a lot more

this is amazing! the one sin you've committed is not running neofetch / fetch lol. I want to learn a lot more about booting in this aspect. It seems pretty neat that all it really does is load a couple of addresses that then look for an ELF binary vmlinux that is parsed and ran. Seems fairly simple all things considered.
