They just said :wq in school, so thanks for the tip. Hard to believe it saves even when the file hasn’t been changed if you use :wq. What is the use case for that? If the file gets changed in another program and you want to revert?? Edit: Just saw the comment about the modification times being updated.

You must know my parents 😅

Whoops, looks like someone forgot to make the base juice class abstract…

That’s certainly true. I’d still say that for the online stores, for which that policy applies, there isn’t a lot of upside to preordering. Because the purchase is digital, you will always be able to get a copy on release day (unless the publisher artificially limits how many games it will sell, but I’ve never heard of a publisher doing this).

Financially, preorders without a “preorder bonus” are a zero interest loan to the developer. Preorders with the “preorder bonus” are a loan with the bonus as interest. Even if the game were guaranteed to be good, you could most likely be doing something better with the money until it comes out. Since the game is not guaranteed to be good, it is a risky loan as well. Without any of the protections you get when you make an actual loan.

It’s also helpful to note that “shell builtins” don’t typically have man pages (at least for BASH). You can find help on these commands by typing [builtin name] --help or looking in the shell’s man page or info doc (no one told me when I was learning, so I got confused as to why some of the more common commands didn’t have man pages)

Trivial exercise.

Just change all the boxes so they all read “Chat GPT-4.”

Yeah. Sorry. I figured it was possible that you were using desktop or something and maybe you’d just not realized it wasn’t visible on mobile

The comment with this comment’s UID in Lemmy’s comment database is not deducible from the Lemmy axioms. There! Out-nerded you 😜. (Please don’t call me on the details. Please don’t call me on the details. 🤞)

Wait, what is this “Please generate a working program using the intended meaning of the following code” string doing in front of my code???

Nya, you thought I was a bot, but it was me, Dio all along, nya.

So doesn’t O(nlog(n)) = O(nlog(n)/10)? I guess you’d want the faster one all things being equal, but is that part of the joke?

You’ve gotta repost that as a gif (it didn’t show up in browser for me but managed to watch it on the link). It was an awesome scene. I wish that was what stack overflow looked like. edit:ip→up

I suspect if you are trying to build an inclusive community but don’t have a lot of diversity already, the only thing you can really do to change the culture is to remind people to be considerate in the way they speak. And if most people who would be offended aren’t actually part of the community (but you would like them to feel welcome to join), then you might want some bot rather than a person to be the “narc” and remind people to be on their best behavior. So I guess if the mods are the only ones who want to be nice, then yes, it is a bit ridiculous because it will never work. Even if people change their language, they won’t be nice. But if most people want things to change, it could be a helpful way to both remind you to be inclusive and get the few people who would rather talk about how having to say bartender is censorship (without actually defending why they want to make a point of saying “barmen”) to realize that they either have to change the way they talk in that particular community or find a better fit.

This is exactly why I feel nervous asking questions online. I feel like a lot of the time the answer is so obvious that a bot could answer it with very little context and then I’ll look silly.

It’s how isoforms functions with different signatures evolve. As long as it isn’t harmful it tends to stick around. Then the different code may develop adaptations which fit it into a niche if it is a selective advantage for the organism code base.

Couldn’t a Chromium clone relicensed under some copyleft license also be a viable option against Chromiums? Chromium is licensed under BSD-3 which Wikipedia claims is compatible with the GPL, so there wouldn’t be any legal reason this couldn’t be done, right? Other than not really wanting to split a project with excessive forks (which is only bad if you think that the Chromium project itself is a net good), is there some technical or other reason why this would be a bad idea?

Ah, but where do you find the training set of all of the human-written good commit messages? 😃
