World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of JesusEnglish
6·2 days agoI figured Jesus would be the last person Trump would want to meet.
6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:6
Given this entire administration’s relationship to children, and their hijacking and warping of the Gospel and manipulation of naive belivers to create a doomsday death cult, I’d say we’re far overdue for millstones to go up in demand as much as RAM has.

Godot@programming.dev•Exploring MatrixRTC: Real time communication in rooms (Godot & Matrix games)
2·2 days agoThis is really, really, REALLY cool. I’m not really “there yet” as a gamedev, but I love the idea of using Matrix protocol with Godot for in game chat, or MUD-like experiences maybe. This is so intriguing.

Meanwhile NORAD probably hasn’t upgraded too much since the movie released. :p

6·6 days agoI kinda wonder if that was the point of this test, basically a “proof” that this is obviously a Bad Idea because you cannot program morality into a what amounts to a fancy Markov chain autocomplete.

Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Incredible stochastic algorithm, gets more reliable the larger your input, incredibly fast, trivial to implement and deterministic on its inputs
10·10 days agoFast forward 30min of training and the final outcome is a model that outputs “do nothing” in 100% of the cases.
To be fair, your program demonstrated the most reliable way to win at crypto! 😉
It’s like Suzanne, the Blender monke ❤️ 🐵
you can also alias
rmto runslinstead :)Choo-choo!!
Hehe I just thought of a hilariously nefarious prank: alias ls to sl. 😂
I was expecting a pair of flip flops. :)
EDIT: oo, maybe one of those motor-unicycles!

World News@lemmy.world•Pope Leo rejects Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ invite and backs UN to solve global crisesEnglish
2·13 days agoAs Shepherd Book would say: “The special hell: reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theater.”
…I bet this SoB talks in the theater a lot, too.
… is it the “UNIX-Hater’s Handbook” from 1994 with a parody of “The Scream” on the cover?
LOL nice, I’ll have to check it out. :) Thanks!
I’ve read this somewhere too! Where are you quoting it from if I may ask?
But yes I also agree 💯%. rm should always be treated with respect and care by default rather than “customizing the danger away.”
That’s certainly something you can do! I would personally follow the recommendation against aliasing rm though, either just using the trash tool’s auto complete or a different alias altogether.
Reason being as someone mentioned below: You don’t want to give yourself a false sense of security or complacency with such a dangerous command, especially if you use multiple systems.
I liken it to someone starting to handle weapons more carelessly because the one they have at home is “never loaded.” Better safe than sorry.
Lol we should have “rules of rm safety”:
- Assume rm is always sudo unless proven otherwise.
- (EDIT)Finger should be off the Enter key until you are certain you are ready to delete.
- Never point rm at something you aren’t willing to permanently destroy.
- Always be aware of your target directory, and what is recursively behind it!
OOOOOOOOOOOF!!
One trick I use, because I’m SUPER paranoid about this, is to mv things I intend to delete to /tmp, or make /tmp/trash or something.
That way, I can move it back if I have a “WHAT HAVE I DONE!?” moment, or it just deletes itself upon reboot.
