pops into my head semi-regularly

Isn’t that called “trauma”?

Yeah you can say the N word

Steam baths are the best.
Get the steam directly out of a pressure cooker.

You will need a barrel, a rope and a pulley on a pole. Oh and something to make holes in a barrel with.

To compile:

• rope the barrel and lay the rest of the rope over the pulley
• drive the pole into the ground next to your desired source of water
• optionally, keep the barrel’s lid openable
• make holes in the barrel in a convenient position, such that the holes will face downwards when you eventually mast the barrel

To charge:

• Set the barrel in the water source and wait until the barrel is full of water (optionally open the lid at this point)
• If you optionally opened the lid before, then mandatorily close the lid, now
• Pull the rope from the other side of the pulley such that the barrel goes up
• Let the water pour from the barrel and have fun with the shower

And that’s why I don’t use smart pointers.

Well…
I actually did make a logical flow diagram describing all conditions for pointer deletion. They just don’t care to read it.

Never Forget

Bonus points for having the “Read” timestamp 1 second before logoff.

My company had 2 types of people…

Everyone else: who used sometimes 3 or 4 spaces (yes, manually pressing the spacebar even though the IDE provided them);
Me: Commit 1 Added .clang-format
Commit 2 Ran git clang-format

Not really.

They are just getting rid of any and every liberty that any reasonable society would provide.

Not the rights though. We never had such rights. We just didn’t realise those were needed to be written down because others didn’t violate those expectations.

Even in an anarchy, without any written rights, we would have those liberties, given a reasonable society. Just not here.

According to kittenzrulz123, you need a choker and a skirt to go with the Rust book.
Also, some specific ThinkPad apparently. Guess my R52 won’t do.

security holes

They are called easter eggs and they are a feature.

My NDA 😭

No.

They said do do. That should sound like doo-doo which might be poop.😜

This seems like one of those cases where you don’t want to be waiting until benchmarking.

It makes the code simpler anyway.

Yeah, one big problem of man I found was the severe lack of explanation of what the command is mainly intended to do. It’s as if the user is expected to run the man after knowing what purpose a specific program exists for, which, I guess is what it is intended for. I tend to rely on the package manager’s information and other similar sources for that information and man mainly for determining the exact usage.

I don’t at all expect man to be useful for someone who can just follow written instructions.
The reason being than man is just supposed to tell the user, what typy stuff needs to be done for specific functionality. And most programs tend to be doing some small thingy and not fulfilling the user’s whole requirement in one go.
Meaning, to be happy with just man, one needs to be able to create a solution for themselves by properly fitting little parts and that is already more than half way to being able to do programming.

Your man -a intro example and what followed, made me more confused than before of what you were trying to say, so I am just trying to go with the feel of it for now.

…

Maybe knowing that you can use / and then whatever string of text to find something in the man page (because it uses less to paginate the output) would be useful for some of what you said. So you can do /-a and press Enter to start searching for “-a”. And the reason for it being so far is because it is in the “OPTIONS” section.

I now feel like someone who reads a lot of legal documents would be fine with man pages. Was this format made by someone in that field?

That patent is essentially trying to say that if you do anything more than a randomly selected behaviour, based on a database, related to previous user interactions, you are infringing the patent. At the same time, the mechanics in the filed patent also depend upon the creation of a database based on the user’s past behaviour.

The implications are just that, if you have more lawyer money than WB, then you can make and sell your game.

Other than stuff like ffmpeg - which has so many features that a man page just can’t cut it; and sed - which doesn’t have a simple hyperlink saying “you go here to learn sed regexp”, most man pages do what I need them to do.

You just need to learn the basics of how the man page is organised and what the brackets in the SYNOPSIS section mean and that makes using them much easier.

We also have man man for that purpose.

I actually used to make backups (Export) of each edited key and keep them in folders with context, so I could later look them up or even set them again in case of a reinstall.

Now, they are lying, forgotten, on some NTFS drive that I haven’t opened in years.

Why have all the other organs eyes? If there’s any organ with eyes connected to it, shouldn’t it be the brain?

No eyes + happy face ⇒ more intimidating
