Ahh, then the modification must be done on the AST level not the in-memory representation since anyway you do it, you must retain the original.

Hmm, maybe I am missing the point. What exactly do you mean by handling automatic updates in place? Like, the program that requires and parses the config file is watching for changes to the config file?

JSON5

Until someone cannot tell the difference between tab and space when configuring or you miss one indentation. Seriously, whoever thinks indentation should have semantic meaning for computers should burn in hell. Indentation is for us, humans, not computers. You can write a JSON with or without indentation if you want. Also, use JSON5 to have comments and other good stuff for a config file.

Yep. Much like we don’t treat phone numbers like a number. The rule of thumb is that if you don’t do any arithmetic with it, it is not a “number” but numeric.

I can already imagine the log generated will be a hint. We usually automate those anyway as it is closer to (D)DoS too.

Yeah, nevermind, I didn’t know what I wrote either. I need my sleep lol.

Depends on the application. When the user is able to set the schema via database, then you cannot assume the shape of the data.

I prefer CUID

Just to clarify: Yes, I do know not all use cases are appropriate for CUID. But in general when generating ID, I’d use CUID2

And the other memes just mention moth vibrating their genitals to throw off bat.

Easy or not depends vary wildly. But the usual task is

• partition the drive
• format the drive
• mount the drive
• install the base system

That is the bare minimum, but we need to do more configuration to be able to boot. Hence the next task is configuring the following

• fstab
• timezone, hostname, and networking
• boot loader (I just use the EFI directly nowadays)

That is it. Everything else is usually work specific. Like, if you wanted arch to be a server, you usually didn’t install a GUI. For workstation and gaming, you need more steps but it will vary depending on hardware. The archwiki covers a good deal of hardware from laptop to desktop and their quirks.

Well, maybe he refers to the branch with the greatest common ancestor of us and whales. So our branch of evolution can have mating calls 100KM rather than their branch with measly 80KM

To be fair, he could also just be fed up after a long time being ignored for what he thinks is quite an important design decision.

For NAT, there is apparently a way to traverse NAT. I haven’t tried it tho, but the dude has a lot of research on the topic (NAT traversal), so if that didn’t work, maybe others will

Lol I fucking love that successor of zero

It is worse in HW prototyping where sometimes loose wire is all over the place

Just like malbolge

Yep. Already edited my comment too

I was curious and then trying to edit the contrast, sure enough. This is 3×

It means it isn’t there. I don’t see the hue either. Which leaves, screen issue.

Edit: It seems like a contrast issue? I took the screenshot and modified it contrast value -3×
