Sometimes you forget to verify if your assumptions are true

I just have a spell checker enabled in vscode

So helpful for dynamic languages that can’t detect undeclared variables (looking at you JS)

I was reading Crafting Interpreters. After adding function calls and stack frames, i tested my implementation with the Fibonacci script at the end of the chapter

I spent about 2 hours debugging my call stack, and even tested the script in Python

Only to realize that Fib(3) is indeed 2

I’m not sure that’s their intended design. Old pull-tab cans actually had a ring for you to pull them off (similar to “easy open” soup cans of today)

I’d imagine that as the tab shrunk and changed from pull to a lever action, the “ring” was left as a vestigial design (as a form of skeuomorphism)

Bridge 4

That’s the only reason i don’t think this is real

It looks fine on Voyager

This is genius

• They are sturdier and require less delicate handling, lest you damage a paperback’s cover, or accidentally bend some of the pages
  • i always remove the paper graphic covers from HB so i just have the bare cardstock cover
  • this is handy if you need to travel with it, say on vacation, or to / from school or work
• the spine is a lot sturdier and looser
  • with PB, the spine is just the same paper material as the cover, and it forms creases as you read
  • with PB, the spine is usually really tight, which makes it really hard to lay out the book flat
  • with hardback, the spine is separate from the cover, which lets it flex more easily, and the material that binds the pages is generally more durable to flexing over time

I should probably note, i mostly read from e-ink tablets these days

But i still prefer HB over PB if i need / have a physical copy

Hardback is always worth the price

If you do that, you lose formatting and comments every time you load the source from disk

As much as this hurts, yeet; as an alias throw; is hilarious

Once in Uni, I had a class switch rooms, but I was still using the old schedule

It wasn’t until the wrong prof came in and started talking about math that I realized “this isn’t my CompSci 210”

Any time you feel that sinking feeling especially while browsing c/all or such, close the app and do something else

Doomscrolling is not worth your sanity

This is the reason I recently unsubed from a bunch if meme threads on Lemmy. They were a non-stop barrage of political doom posting.

Understandable, given current events. But it was too much for me

Maybe the light in the dash was shorting, causing the light to turn on on its own

And screaming was juuuust enough to cause the short to break connection?

It’s either that or ghosts

The kernel does stuff like

• process and CPU task management
• hardware abstraction
• memory management (at the process level),
• file system managment
• and resource isolation (such as randomized memory addresses (ASLR))

The rest of the OS provides the actual software that users interact with, like

• file managers
• desktop rendering and window management
• settings menus
• sound mixing between applications
• graphics rendering

Turning their back to you: they feel safe and trust you.

Putting their butt in your face: they want you to lick it, as their mother would.

Obviously, don’t do that, but instead, give their haunches and above-the-tail backside a good scritch

Rolling on their back: they’re exposing their vulnerable stomachs to you as a show of trust. this is not an invitation to touch their stomach

slowly closing their eyes while looking at you: this is also a sign of trust. You can do it back to them to make them happier

It’s not a permanent one and it works for the time being, can’t see the reason for the downvotes honestly.

It’s just a bad idea in general. A better option would be to patch the binary to use 15. They both have the issue of forcing paru to work with a library it wasn’t explicitly designed for, but symlinking (or copying) 15 to 14 forces the hack to be “system wide” instead of restricted to a single binary

as well, your solution is “temporary” only if you remember to fix it, vs patching which is (by default) overwritten the next time paru is updated

it “works”, but it’s not something i’d recommend someone else do

You can either patch the binary

sudo patchelf --replace-needed libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.15 "$(which paru)"

Or install paru-git

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-git.git
cd paru-git
makepkg -si

Or do both, patch the binary, then use it to install paru-git (which is what i did)

I love arch, but I’m also a pedantic computer nut

It’s not for everyone
