The Ramen Dutchman

I agree with the content of this post, but it seems like pure complaining rather than programmer humour, so I downvoted it for not suiting the community.

Mods, what are you doing letting this on here?

It seems those are 4 KiB on Linux, interesting to know.

And just started cleaning up their GitHub account…

Probably DeepSeek.

Here’s a simple command to turn any file into a single b!

echo a > $file_name

each file is minimum 4kb

$ touch empty_file
$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 user group 0 may 14 20:13 empty_file
$ wc -c empty_file 
0 empty_file

Huh?

My brother in Christ TailwindCSS just gives classes that let you do inline styling in a shorter syntax! (and theme configuration, but mostly inline styling)

Replace width: ...px with w-..., margin-left: ... with ml-... and margin-right: ... with mr-.... Setting both horizontal margins is mx-... and both vertical margins is my-....

If you can do inline styling, TW just makes the syntax a bit shorter, but that’s it, really.

To be fair, unlocking the frame rate on console-to-PC ports still fast-forwards many games including Nier: Automata or breaks the physics like in Skyrim.

It doesn’t have to be this way, any more, but it still is because… Lack of expertise? I really can’t think of anything else?

To be fair, they show up as “^X” or whatever, and typing [Shift]+[6] followed by the [X]-key doesn’t do the trick.

Still do.

It can be easier if you’re used to the dash before the arguments; it’s optional but you can put them:

tar -cf   # Compress File
tar -xf   # Xtract File

I was about to say tar -CompressZeVuckingFile; great mnemonic and I use it every time!

What an eloquent yet brutal statement, I love it!

And ngrok is en-grok, not en-jii-rok…

I mean in all fairness it was probably a bot that flagged that.

By the time I left (API shenengigans) Reddit was already a place where bots interacted with bots half the time.

Noto Sans for sans-serif text (and the OS)
It’s legible, standard-looking and support about every writing system in the world. You can install it on Debian using # apt install fonts-noto, some others like -cjk and -extra help with the “supports about every writing system in the world”-aspect.

Merriweather for the serif font fallback for the browser, as well as TTRPG campaign printouts
It’s very legible, and looks quite sexy for a serif font. There’s no package for it currently (although AUR and Nix users might have better luck), it has to be downloaded from Google Fonts

JetBrains Mono for the terminal TUI’s
It looks a bit playful, like lego-letters, is legible and supports about every writing system in the world. # apt install fonts-jetbrains-mono.

Although I use…

Verdana for source code
It differentiates every character well and leaves enough space to easily recognise special characters such as brackets. And I don’t believe monospace fonts are more legible. It’s included in ttf-mscorefonts-installer but the font is not open-source.

TES isn’t LoZ, buddy.

The 3DS’ 3D was actually great and people who claim to hate it just hate progression!

I mean, it’s a functional programming language and an incredibly good one. But it probably has a far too big footprint for their use-case…

Why aren’t python and bash be available in all your systems? Which languages would be?

I would’ve recommended python, otherwise perl or Haskell (maybe Haskell’s too big) or something, but now I’m worried that whatever reason makes python undoable also makes perl etc. undoable
