In my experience, if you didn’t write the function that creates the list, there’s a solid chance it could be None too, and if you try to check the length of None, you get an error. This is also why returning None when a function fails is bad practice IMO, but that doesn’t seem to stop my coworkers.

I too know how to run sed -r!

I always go with password2 cuz everyone throws a fit about password1 being insecure.

I could have sworn there is a puffer fish-themed SSH file manager GUI, but I can’t for the life of me find it right now.

Python does not need to be compiled, have you ever used it?

Can you please articulate why Python and Bash are so different in your eyes?

I don’t like that solution because that means Huffman walks away with a golden payday instead of losing it all.

After reading these comments, I have concluded that everyone’s grandpa is autistic.

Maybe he was an electrician, but he definitely didn’t spend much time with circuit boards.

I just want to pause a moment to wish a “fuck you” to the guy who named an AI model “Cursor” as if that’s a useful name. It’s like they’re expecting accidental google searches to be a major source of recruitment.

This fills me with an overwhelming feeling of societal instability.

What’s stopping the downloaded script from wiping my home directory?

What’s stopping any Makefile, build script, or executable from running rm -rf ~? The correct answer is “nothing”. PPAs are similarly open, things are a little safer if you only use your distro’s default package sources, but it’s always possible that a program will want to be able to delete something in your home directory, so it always has permission.

Containerized apps are the only way around this, where they get their own home directory.

He doesn’t need to keep his system working, he can probably pay someone for that. He needs something that will maximize engagement, and a million “I use arch BTW” comments is exactly what he wants.
