Principle of least permission. I’m a dev and I still have to ask for temporary permission to even access customer infrastructure to solve production issues. Why should you need access to deployment infrastructure? I would deny you too, especially if your need could be solved by a local install of git.
You’re making Lemmy a great place to be.
Yes, this is cool, but imagine if you will the octopus, evolving intelligence from inside phylum mollusca, whose common ancestor with us (and all chordates) is an ancient worm.
Their brains might as well be alien compared to chordate intelligence.
I’m curious if you care to share more?
It’s great that you cherish that. Love that for you.
Right I love that comic! But I think the joke there is the expectation that a unix user would be able to do something as simple as opening a .tar.gz file, something that’s a much more common experience among nix users, but truth is many experienced users would still need to look up the exact syntax (me included). This meme is more like “look at how absurd of a command you can use in bash; can you tell the difference?” I dunno just doesn’t hit the same to me. Appreciate you sharing that xkcd though.
Yea I come from the generation of reddit departures that left because of API lockdown and elimination of third party apps. Nowadays a lot of people join Lemmy because they got banned off of reddit for reasons of varying respectability. I would say it’s diluting the concentration of tech intel, as you say. Oh well.
That’s fair! I’ve always seen this community as an environment for advocating Linux use to Lemmings and much of the time the memes are comparative in nature to other options (ex the current to meme in this community about vendor lock in) so I’m just injecting my own historical view about this community. If it’s not comparative; then why is it really that funny? In that case it just reads like an exam in a CIS final.
I could imagine a command like this being used as part of a CI/CD script doing static analysis in a virtualized environment where the build is running in a *nix container. There’s more maintainable options as well (ie easier for an entire team of developers to understand / lower ‘bus factor’).
Lol someone is so mad about this they’re going around downvoting all my replies. Guess that’s easier than coming up with a thoughtful reply and actually conversing but whatever you do you boo
Lol why are you getting downvoted this isn’t even a hot take. You are 100% right regex is famously enigmatic even among experienced software engineers.
I some beef with this meme in that there really isn’t a way to simply do this in windows. If anything, it demonstrates the upper level of capability and function using a cli shell. People who are looking for a windows replacement would never need to understand this command or even use a pipe / regex as they were unlikely to have been doing this kind of thing with windows anyway.
Ah interesting one of those cases where this could be one of a few languages. I was reading it as JS.
Yea uh is this actually equivalent? In all of those other cases you’re checking if a is null and in the last case my understanding is it is checking to see if a is falsely. In the case that a is 0, or undefined, or an empty array or any other kind of non null falsey value, then the behavior would be different.
Nah this isn’t the way, friend. Instead of adding a bunch of useless anys all over the place, start typing in one part of the application and exclude the rest using a path pattern. Or simply allow .js and only change the extension for files you’ve typed. Doing this is just wasting time and creating false assurances of type safety.
It’s not that hard to define correct, meaningful types. Often vscode already has implicitly determined them for you; just mouseover the variable.
Eh I don’t think being verified means all that much because in my experience there are games that are verified that just don’t play well on a deck because the game doesn’t lend itself well to deck controls and there are others where the control factors keeping them from being verified are trivial but not addressable given valves strict definitions of ‘verified’. Example: Noita sucks on the deck and it’s verified. It’s like 10x more difficult to aim on the deck relative to a M+K setup and makes it feel clumsy as hell. Meanwhile, Against the Storm, Soulstone Survivors, Dwarf Fortress, and Civilization all have great experiences on the deck and I’ve happily played multiple hours of each chilling on my couch without a thought about the controls and none are verified.
I still have all of mine as well, including my first: a samsung sph-n200.
