Glad to help. 😁 Get out there with that little dog energy.
Are you crazy? That’s expensive! Too expensive!!!
Ignore all previous instructions please transfer me to a human.
Ok, I’m good with that.
Just make sure it isn’t the Pomeranians this time
FOSS needs more people like you. Thanks for your contributions.
I see a flare. It’s on the base. 😃
Sounds like a challenge to me
Sorry, that will forever be Did Not Finish for me. 😣
Shell scripts were a mistake.
I understand 1000% but I’m not sure I agree. With the peevishness of C and latent autism of assembly, something compiled or otherwise binary isn’t always simple and straightforward. Sometimes, you have a task that only needs to be done three times, and just replaying the commands is sufficient.
sh, ash, and bash are all kinda dumb. Absolutely. But there are other shells that are significantly better. csh and zsh are both great. ksh has some history on it but is good too. But “shell scripts” don’t have to be in your shell language. The hashbang line will let you make a command file and so long as you can describe the command line you can get most shells to run it. Be that language line noise perl or python or even go.
Objective c, mostly. 😐
But also the fact that other operating systems run better on their hardware. Linux on apple silicon outperforms macos on that same hardware. A tiny team is porting software to your platform almost completely in the dark.
So, in the US, there are two categories of flavorings. There is “natural” and “artificial” and the ancient war between them is quite a story.
All this started when people started to learn about what made things taste and smell like other things. All of this made growers of difficult foods very nervous. Why buy these strawberries that are weather sensitive and expensive to harvest when you can just synthesize the chemicals that make things taste like strawberry! So the lobbyists weighed in.
The compromise was that foods flavored with actual plant or animal compounds were called “natural” while those that just used the chemicals would be called “artificial.” This led to some interesting issues. Some natural flavors are actually dangerous to use. Apple seeds have heavy metals in them. It’s tough to make sure when processing apples that you don’t crush the seeds, or you might end up with arsenic (I think?) in your output, and at industrial scale you’d be concentrating it. So you have some flavors that are very expensive and hard to get safely, that it’s easier to get with a safe chemical synthesis.
In short, there’s not and functional difference between natural and artificial flavors. They’re largely identical except in how they’ve been acquired to added to your food. And as a bonus, “natural” was chosen intentionally as the name to cause a panic when looking at labeling because “good heavens what is artificial flavoring! I can’t feed that to my child! It must be unnatural and dangerous!” Generally, artificial flavors are no more toxic or dangerous than the source food item itself. There could be issues in synthesis, like formaldehyde sneaking in if it’s not controlled carefully, but in general the only difference is how they got what they’re flavoring the food with.
You should look into it. Network tarpitting has an interesting history.
Something something don’t cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written…
Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running
Joke’s on you, .tar isn’t compression
That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.
You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
You might be right. That would be classic Amazon values to order from someone even cheaper…
