@movq@www.uninformativ.de All the returns tell me that you’re not a real Rust programmer. :-D Personally, I would never omit them either. They make code 100 times more readable.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, not too bad. I completely agree with you on completeness. Also, I hate complexity without having to learn that during on-calls. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah pretry much 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I’d say: Yes, because in Go it’s easier to ignore errors.

We’re talking about this pattern, right?

f, err := os.Open("filename.ext")
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Nothing stops you from leaving out the if, right? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’m feeling SO dumb right now 😅 I used to think !! was a sudo argument and never used it out of that context! Thanks for the $(!!) tip 🤘

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Always do 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Is this much different to Go’s error handling as values though really? 🧐🤣😈

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agree! Good list 👌

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Ewww 😈

@prologic@twtxt.net have fun!

@prologic@twtxt.net Enjoy your road trip! Have fun!! 🤘

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh I see hmmm I don’t know this either 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I might give it a shot. 😃

Skimming through the manual: I had no idea that keeping the “up” cursor pressed actually slows you down at some point. 🤦

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com I use Alt+. all the time, it’s great. 👌

FWIW, another thing I often use is !! to recall the entire previous command line:

$ find -iname '*foo*'
./This is a foo file.txt

$ cat "$(!!)"
cat "$(find -iname '*foo*')"
This is just a test.

Yep!

Or:

$ ls -al subdir
ls: cannot open directory 'subdir': Permission denied

$ sudo !!
sudo ls -al subdir
total 0
drwx------ 2 root root  60 Jun 20 19:39 .
drwx------ 7 jess jess 360 Jun 20 19:39 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   0 Jun 20 19:39 nothing-to-see

@thecanine@twtxt.net With the teeth this looks like a vampire dog. :-D And I don’t get the reference either.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh, that’s great! I haven’t heard about any of them before either. There’s also a caveat though, that I ran right into the very first time I tried this in zsh:

$ ls > /dev/null
$ echo $_
--color=tty

Yeah, exactly what you think:

$ which ls
ls: aliased to ls --color=tty

Alt+. is going to be my favorite one! In the above, it would also give me /dev/null, which might be probably more what I would expect.

@prologic@twtxt.net no, good man. Follow the link, follow eet! :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de omg yeah! this one looks cute too (i’m weak to anything tux related!) but the commercial release has so much unpolished charm i love it! btw it’s on [internet archive(https://archive.org/details/TuxRacerCD) if you wanna download & play it :]

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I like the animations in your version much better than the ones from ExtremeTuxRacer. 😊 And there’s no little dance at the end of a race!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com You mean Control R?

@bender@twtxt.net I SANG ALONG IN MY HEAD LMAOOO

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I guess that qualifies as an “Arch moment”, albeit the first one I encountered. I’m running this since 2008 and it’s usually very smooth sailing. 😅

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, YMMV. Some games work(ed) great in Wine, others not at all. I just use it because it’s easier than firing up my WinXP box. (I don’t use Wine for regular applications, just games.)

@bender@twtxt.net Now I AM curious! What rabbit-hole? what am I missing here? 😆

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz 🎵 Grafana ana bo bana fifo bo bana gra fana!🎶 Don’t mind me, I am nuts.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I recommend you to remain curious without crossing the threshold. Unless, of course, you truly want to follow a never-ending rabbit hole. 😂

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com i’ve been curious about searxng!!!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org as long as i get to see silly little tux sliding around in a silly game older than me it’s ok even if i committed windows/wine crimes to see it <33

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Must be a decode ago that I last used Wine. I wanted to play GTA2, but that didn’t go as planned.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de And there the air raid siren goes off.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Oh no, how unpenguinly! But at least it runs, even races. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That sounds great! (Well, they actually must have recorded the audio with a potato or so.) You talked about pledge(…) and unveil(…) before, right? I somewhere ran across them once before. Never tried them out, but these syscalls seem to be really useful. They also have the potential to make one really rethink about software architecture. I should probably give this a try and see how I can improve my own programs.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de arch moment

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m grateful that this works at least!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz lol, oof, well, better than nothing. 🥴 It appears to run quite well. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz UPDATE: getting it to run natively through a VM and other means all failed! so i did the cursed thing and tried the windows installer in wine…..

GUESS WHAT WORKED

@thecanine@twtxt.net i do not get the reference but this is very cute!

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com fuck yeah!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de missing libraries :( i expected it though

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yup 👍 Super interesting sruff 👌

@prologic@twtxt.net Ahhh, right, my bad, I could have easily found that. 🤦

There’s also a project page which lists some limitations of this study: https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/your-brain-on-chatgpt/overview/

It certainly sounds plausible. “Use it or lose it.”

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think it’s here on MIT’s website: Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net But is there a source for it? Am I too stupid to use that site? 🤪

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I was more interested in the MIT research tbh 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net … or just bullshit.

I’m Alex, COO at ColdIQ. Built a $4.5M ARR business in under 2 years.

Some “C-level” guy telling people what to do, yeah, I have my doubts.

@prologic@twtxt.net This doesn’t cite any sources, might as well be satire. 🤔

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Awww. :( Can you tell why? Missing libraries or does it just segfault?

@doesnm.p.psf.lt@doesnm.p.psf.lt so sorry for your suffering, and loss. :-P

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Cool, that’s a nice summary!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz uh, i use yandex mail which uses HTML by default

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz join the SearxNG cult! the grass is way greener over here 😁
