I strongly suspect peak Aristotle would fucking wreck me but when he’s old and rotten? Yeah I reckon I have a chance

Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you

I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense

Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this

Babel fish, you say?

But actually I intended to indicate something more here… Almost all of these will have spoken English and it’s a bit slanted y’know? I’d take Aristotle lol

I don’t speak medieval Italian so sadly he’s off my list

Simply define it as i = e^(iπ/2) 🤣

I would also drop this dude, because he’s pretty fly (for a white guy); https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexter_Holland

Yeah ok not an educator or a particularly famous name in the sphere, but a PhD don’t come for free

Once your computer’s working to your satisfaction, pretty much all you’ll need to do is alias sudo packman -Syu and try to remember to run that every so often. The arch Linux wiki is second to none, and if you stick with the distro you should find it all feels very familiar in no time.

This is a very very good video. I loved the review of Atlas Shrugged

Ignoring capitalisation you can add as many buffalos as you like and still be parsable. I’ve only ever heard buffalo used as a verb in this one context, though, so seems a bit forced to me

Thanks for the video. Yeah ok actually clankers cavern (no wait that was banjo kazooie, I meant that one with all the sea serpents) was hella laggy, you’ve brought it all back

Is that true about the debug build? I had it on the N64 way back when and don’t remember it being especially laggy. OTOH I was young, and relatively shit at computer games

omg yes

Alas, doesn’t fit my purpose since it requires action by the script user. I usually just use perl in those situations

I can never get grep to work consistently on Mac and Linux. Now, ripgrep OTOH…

I remember Linus saying in an interview that he’d only really been involved in git for the first 6 months or so and that the other devs had managed it without him since then. This makes sense - Linus’s creations aren’t successful because he’s the only person who understands them, they’re successful because there are so many other collaborators on them.

Ah well fuck 'em then. Still, every time I go on there it’s fairly rich with memes and shitposts, and fairly low on everything else. Quite value that trickle of content.

I think it’s genuinely an ambition, it’s just technically very hard

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.
