maybe the donor is generous and wishes the problem to be solved for more than one laptop. The benefits compound and for example avoid e-waste.

staging sucks anyway. Never catches bugs.

you say that but they’re already thinking a step ahead and assuming meta left a backdoor or CVE at the behest of 3-letter agencies.

What’s facebook’s business plan? Right, surveillance capitalism.

My understanding so far is:

if business logic assumes a set of preconditions before a particular piece of code that the language/runtime/os satisfies… then it’s an immediate assert. Any kind of IO, memory creation and OS operations fall into this carefory.

However if the business logic assumes something in its own domain and that assumption does not hold then its better to handle that instead of crashing. Ex. being you expect a queue to have at least one element in some pipeline and if it is empty then return saying nothing to be done.

Edit: don’t assert/crash if your application is single process multithreaded unless you want your friend from accounting asking you why their stock ticker crashed just when they clicked a button in the coffee shop module of your app. Use some thread exit mechanism.

i pronounce it as cauchy

I wonder how it would look with excel sort

I hope you understand being different is not frowned upon… but rather the constant irritation of people wanting to prove something all the time. Like I get it, people want to be different… but when you want to communicate ideas you gotta find a common ground so talking is at least pleasant.

I don’t want to go through hoops to understand what you’re trying to say! having a good conversation is already hard with all the mindless rage bait.

I too would like to start using porn in my comments because my life isn’t spicy enough or something

Check if systemd has any clues:

1. journalctl -b > systemd-logs.txt
2. grep -C3 -i "error\|fail|warn\|fatal\|can't\|cannot" systemd-logs.txt

put it on codeberg and github… just to have a backup… doesn’t need to be public facing.

or they just place a block of cheese near by as a shelf or counterbalance for the chopping board for the actual ingredients.

you mean more propaganda.

god no. some of the comments are so misinformed that i wonder whether they are actual software people at all.

No language can catch a logic bug.

I am stupid and I know it

Then why are you expecting me to be any better if you don’t want to stop yourself here and begin the introspection?

Somehow you want people to read your arguments and change their opinion but when people ask you to do the same you just declare you are stupid and refuse to do the very thing that you expect others to do?

what does “London not being like 90s” mean to you?

being kind is actually not political. By definition if someone hates people for anything other than what they do or say… then its the person who creates the political cloud.

you had no problem grouping a whole folk as problematic but suddenly when its about you now you have a problem with it?

do you think it will help if the companies making those 3 apps actually extend linux support?

Hey man just because you got a threesome doesn’t mean its common.

Spontaneous group happens in real life -> I agree.

All the time -> I don’t agree

There are people who seek it out

But that doesn’t mean they get it “all the time”

Unfortunately the difference between those two types of people defines the lens through which you define a “naive” person.

And your lens is too much caliberated to view every encounter as an opportunity even if you don’t know whether the OP is actually into it or not, thus projecting your expectations into the scenario.

who is the thief here? One who wants outsized profit beyond 10 generations of children? Or the average overworked joe who hates dealing with the 3rd 2 minute ad on a 10 minute video?

Maybe realise that there’s more important things to worry than denying “projected profits” from a billion dollar megacorp which steals regularly from people (in the form of bribing politicians to make policies that benefit them and disadvantage actual people, or destroying the earth for training LLMs, or stealing content to use for the same LLMs)
