LOL, that comment:

It sounds silly but I think this should probably be fixed for 0.19.4 so that people are updated before all the cake days in June start, there will be many first cake days

Meanwhile, lemmy.world is still on 0.19.3 as I type this. sad trombone noises

That sounds plausible to be one problem, but it’s also weird that it’s different in two different places. There’s some duplicate code that probably ought to be consolidated.

…these shows (the ones still airing anyway)…

I specifically listed only shows still in production to preclude any possibility of OP being able to finish, even if they did spend 37 days trying! 😈

(Also, Case Closed and One Piece are the only ones I’ve ever watched any episodes, of, LOL.)

My recommendations:

• Sazae-san
• Soreike! Anpanman
• Doraemon
• Chibi Maruko-chan
• Case Closed
• Crayon Shin-chan
• One Piece

(I woke up today and chose violence.)

Acute subdural hematoma… isn’t that usually caused by head injury?

If my medical knowledge from Star Trek IV is anything to go by, yes.

This reminds me of shooting yourself in the foot in various programming languages

The crazy thing is that sometimes it works (e.g. because your Makefile is wrong or you’ve got weird preprocessor stuff going on that takes a couple of iterations to fully compute).

Considering that, especially with federation, editing or deleting stuff doesn’t really make the old version go away, I personally think the better move would be to pull a Slashdot and just not have the ability to edit or delete at all to begin with. That way, it makes it clearer what is inherently true: that once you post something, it’s out there for good.

Haha preprocessor goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Squeak is just a programming environment for Smalltalk, the language in which object-oriented programming was invented.

If anything, it’s those languages that tried to bolt on object-oriented features to Algol that are the oddballs!

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Your thumb is not your zeroth finger; it’s your first finger.

Starting from zero is for situations when you’re counting the left (or first) edge of containers used to hold items. For example, if you wanted to count the number of balls you could hold in the spaces between your fingers, you start with 0 because the number of balls you can hold between your thumb and {} is 0.

Having to play whack-a-mole banning on a per-instance basis if the account’s home instance admin isn’t cooperative isn’t exactly ideal, either.

Perhaps what we need is to implement some sort of happy medium, such as having instance bans be “votes” towards some threshold that, if met, would result in banning the account network-wide?

Terminals with screens? What’s all that newfangled shit?

Nah, whippersnapper, this tech goes all the way back to teletypes. You didn’t get a fancy-shmancy “screen;” instead, it printed out the results of your commands. On actual paper!

Seriously though, that’s why the device files for terminals in Linux are named tty[$NUM] – “tty” is shorthand for “TeleTYpe.”

I believe it’s also why really primitive programs can’t scroll up and do things like writing an entire screen worth of content in order to emulate interactivity (as opposed to seeking the cursor backwards and replacing only the parts the program wants to replace): they’re using a version of the control protocol so primitive that it didn’t have a function to go backwards because teletypes didn’t need it due to physical impossibility. (That’s my theory, anyway – I haven’t dug deep enough into the guts of TERMCAP etc. to be sure. I’m also not actually old enough to have experienced that stuff, despite my joke above.)

Edit: look at this excerpt from man terminfo(5), for instance:

Basic Capabilities
The number of columns on each line for the terminal is given by
the cols numeric capability.  If the terminal is a CRT, then the
number of lines on the screen is given by the lines capability.
If the terminal wraps around to the beginning of the next line
when it reaches the right margin, then it should have the am
capability.  If the terminal can clear its screen, leaving the
cursor in the home position, then this is given by the clear
string capability.  If the terminal overstrikes (rather than
clearing a position when a character is struck over) then it
should have the os capability.  If the terminal is a printing
terminal, with no soft copy unit, give it both hc and os.

To this day, the info database entry for your virtual terminal has to specify that it’s capable of deleting a line of text instead of merely striking it out, because some terminals back in the day actually couldn’t!

Emacs and bash use the same navigation shortcuts though, LOL.

I am all whooshed on this blessed day!

We are all whooshed on this blessed day.
