+1 for using LTSC with MAS activation. It’s about the only acceptable way to run windows at home, other than doing the same thing but in an isolated VM.
It’s packaged for my distro, but I’d like to play Nightly builds.
The game is developed for fun by a community, so I don’t want to claim that this is peak documentation or build logic for a C application, but simultaneously, there’s not many programming languages where I would have the thought to launch a different operating system just to compile…
The gophers are podman.io which builds and runs containers. My guess is they are building the same application in multiple distros for their one application
Like
my-app-nix my-app-fedora my-app-alpine
It’s a common practice so users can choose the distro they prefer when launching your container in their stack.
In this case, it’s not my program, it’s an open-source project I’m trying to compile, and I actually can’t get the program to compile on any of these distros.
I tried nix-shell at first, then I tried launching containers of Debian and Fedora, which have official build instructions, and yeah, nothing has truly worked so far.
I do have a working setup on openSUSE, but it involves half-compiling it in nix-shell and then compiling the rest with whatever magical combination of openSUSE packages I have on there. This setup also happens to be on my old laptop…
Yeah, probably more boring than I assumed; podman with 1 apt based distro, one rpm based distro, and Nixos. Each doing an independent build and packaging in their respective builds systems.
I was hoping for some rube Goldberg’s machine of compilation, but that’s probably not the case.
Well, first I tried compiling it on my own distro (which isn’t listed in the image). Then I tried compiling it with the help of nix-shell (that’s the NixOS logo).
Then I figured, fuck it, let’s just launch a whole container for compiling, so I tried the distros listed in the official documentation (Debian and Fedora), which, you guessed it, didn’t work either.
This is a hobby project that I’m trying to compile, so this definitely won’t be the best showing of C, but still just astronomically more painful than it should be…
Finally! It’s just too bad my insurance score is still too low for me to get the required homeowner’s insurance because the car company shared my driving data with insurance data brokers, and they don’t like that I park in front of bars every Friday night, they don’t know it’s because I have a third job as a busboy. It’s ok though, cause at least I’m still free to tip my landlord, and employment rates are up!
But remember. You’re paying his mortgage and you can’t deduct that from your taxes but he can deduct his mortgage from his taxes (the same mortgage that you paid)
But what if I don’t want strict comparison? What if my frontend contains a text field for a numeric input and I wanna manually check against each possible valid input value if (input_val == 1) {…} else if (input_val == 2) {…} else if… without having to convert it first or check that it’s actually a number or fix my frontend?
(I’m sure there are valid use cases for non-strict comparison, I just can’t think of one right now)
If you’re looking for good code, you missed the point of my comment 😄
If I was looking for an enumeration of valid inputs, I’d make it a selection box rather than a text field that’s supposed to contain a number and give the selections reasonable names. If I want an integral quantity, I’d use a number input field.
If I have no control over the frontend, that means I’m writing a backend in JS for a bullshit frontend, and no amount of good coding practice is going to salvage this mess.
I’m also blessedly far away from WebDev now. I work in Data Analytics and if I ever have to do any of this for a living, something has gone very wrong.
Converting texts into numbers or dates still haunts me though - fuck text inputs for numbers and dates.
What’s even wilder is if you look at the code of that package, all it does is include the is-odd package and then return !is. And the is-odd package isn’t much better, it does some basic checks on the input and then returns n % 2 === 1.
I thought I was missing something. JS is one of my main languages and I always just write the is-odd function myself since it’s like 10 characters. It boggles the mind that is-even has 176k weekly downloads
To be fair having a name can make things easier to read. I get that i % 2 == 0 is a common pattern and most programmers will quickly recognize what is happening. But isEven(i) is just that much easier to grok and leaves that brainpower to work on something else.
But I would never import a package for it. I would just create a local helper for something this trivial.
Even if the code isn’t reused adding names to sub-expressions can be very valuable. Often times I introduce new functions or variables even if they are only used once so that I can give them a descriptive name which helps the reader more quickly understand what is happening.
Yeah, I do that with pretty much every separate operation in c# since our solutions are pretty big. Most of my JS scripts are just done in ServiceNow which are separated and named appropriately.
He systematically used the power and influence of the presidency to project falsehoods, encourage division and violence, and potentially feed classified information illegally to foreign governments for his own personal gain.
He is currently on trial for bribing people to stay silent about his affairs during the 2016 election. He was previously found to have illegally taken classified documents back to his home in Florida and kept them after he was president, potentially to sell information. His son in law was given a career in the White House with no prior experience, and there is a huge paper trail to suggest that he got paid 2 billion by foreign governments for representing their interests during that time.
He’s like a corruption buffet, and he has openly stated he will retaliate against everyone he considers an enemy if he wins again.
Somebody literally set themself on fire outside the courthouse while his criminal trial was going on, for reasons that appear to be in support of the conspiracy theories Trump and the entire Conservative Griftosphere peddles.
That’s only a brief list too. We probably don’t know the full extent of his crimes, and more keeps getting revealed. 10 minutes of googling the news about him is going to blow your mind.
