Not necessarily.
They’re a basic data structure used everywhere, most notably with command arguments ( $@ ) and can make shell scripts a viable option for many simple tasks if their syntax makes sense and you don’t have to wonder how their expansion works every time you see one being used.
Zsh, because unlike Bash using arrays in Zsh doesn’t make me want to perform percussive maintenance on the nearest Von-Neumann machine
Didn’t that turn out to be an issue related to adblockers?
I’m not sure, at least the unrepairable mess made by Microsoft is software rather than hardware - you can reinstall a janky OS but you can’t unexplode a phone that disassembled itself when you sneezed in its general direction.
There’s no fine line between the two companies.
Edit: they continuously fucked up Halo in unexcusable ways, fuck them, they’re worse than Apple. Forgot about that.
Microsoft is definitely the corpoest of them all.
Probably not the worst corpo, likely even, but out of the corpos, they are the most corpo corpo of any corpo.
IP addresses ran out, IPv6 adds more addresses than we may need, ISPs decide to take away the user’s ability to host servers (more or less (more less than more)) rather than upgrading the infrastructure
They say 2 wrongs don’t make a right, but 3 rights sure make a left
Lost access to your email? Nuh uh.
With the last two big things I’ve heard about (Yuzu and… Dolphin, I think?) they were legally in the right, but at least where I live there is absolutely no way to spin a recompiler + asset extractor as something illegal - they can’t even claim the developers are circumventing DRM, because OOT and MM didn’t have any.
Though, I would not be surprised if there’s something in US law that can be exploited for this.
Ship Of Harkinian (and similar projects) have kept gping for a long time, and they don’t do anything remotely illegal either
Some do, unfortunately getting mad about them is sometimes all they can do in some cases (e.g. the OP)
They probably downvoted because sometimes your job or education strictly requires Linux-incompatible software, and you can’t do anything about it;
but then again, 9 out of 10 of those people spare absolutely no effort to move their eggs out of the metaphorical Windows basket.
If that ever happens I’ll become both SCP-096 and SCP-096-1
Muldraugh? I guess it has to be somewhat small, it sure feels like it when it’s full of zombies
Aren’t files second-class citizens of Android too?
I tried getting BtF bto work but for some reason it’s a constant slow-motion for me, I had to give up and watch some playthrough for the lore
Huh, judging by the fact that X3 and X4 run natively on Linux this surprises me only a bit
… does X4 run natively? idr
X3: Farnham’s Legacy with mods and plots from the Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude.
This is gonna take me more than a week…
I don’t know how this would be useful to someone reading the cheat sheet, but here’s something interesting I just indirectly found out while skimming it through:
Ctrl+D does the same thing as ENTER, except the latter additionally sends the end-of-line character to the reader while the former sends nothing;
as is the case for shells or interactive programs like the Python REPL, Ctrl+D causes them to terminate only because it sends a string that is 0 characters long, and 0-size reads are universally interpreted as files reaching the end.
To test this: enter cat, type “hello” without pressing enter, then Ctrl+D: you should see “hellohello”.
An extremely rare case of this being useful would be using netcat to send a string somewhere, without sending the end-of-line byte at the end.
Following the analogy, what if the screwdriver part was bent by 30° and you had to awkwardly turn the tool while keeping it tilted - but there’s also a spring mechanism that attempts to retract the screwdriver you push too hard against the screw?
(all of that for historical reasons, of course)
((or even to discourage you from using the tool?))
