What if there is no correct answer?
What if there is no correct answer?
I just use this:
#!/bin/bash
keep_generating=1
while [[ $keep_generating == 1 ]]; do
dd if=/dev/random of=$1 bs=1 count=$2 status=none
echo Contents of $1 are:
cat $1
echo
read -p "Try generating again? " -s -n1 answer
while true; do
case $answer in
[Yy] )
echo
break
;;
[Nn] )
keep_generating=0
break
;;
*)
esac
read -s -n1 answer
done

Why parse the HTML manually when sed
is a standard utility and you can use it to parse it with regex?
Windows uses AI to determine what’s best for you. GNOME just decides it generally in advance.
What do you mean by “improving”? This alarming warning appears because Firefox requires permissions. Let us look at the permissions listed there:
App permissions should not be about “this app cannot be trusted because it asks for scary scary permissions”. They should be about “take a look at the list of permissions the app requests and determine whether or not it make sense for such an app to need such permissions”.
Nearly every app should have a warning
No. If you put a warning on every app (except for the most trivial ones that don’t actually do anything useful) then the warnings mean nothing. The become something more than ass-covering legal(ish) BS.
What if Windows decided to update after you finished checking the equipment? I mean, they do use AI to determine the worst time for an update…
For extra irony, sell him an NFT to the source code.
Depends on what you mean by that:
At any rate, my point is that the decision of whether you obey the law or protect your users should be about the country as a whole, not about any specific judge employed by it. Choosing to obey some judges of the country while ignoring the warrants signed by other judges of the same country is just stupid. The country will not trust you to respect their authority and will not permit you to do business there, while the users will not trust you to keep your promise to protect them and won’t use your service.
Does it matter? He’s still a judge with a judge’s authority. If their policy is to obey the law then the political views of the judge don’t change the fact that his order was lawful.
I think the problem with OOP is something you can see whenever legislation is linked with prestige (it happens a lot in real life). The number of good possible rules is quite limited, and the number of people who want to make a name for themselves by championing them seems to be infinite. If you can’t find a good rule to claim as your own, you have to pick a bad rule and try to gaslight people into thinking it’s a necessary and beneficial. Enough people do that, and we end up with modern OOP.
Which one should have taken the other to kourt?
Vim or Emacs? Stick to one, you editor two timer!
I don’t think “unicorn” means what he think it means…
You are assuming here that I know what I want. What if there is no obviously correct answer, and even in the Everett branch that generates the optimal content for the file I’ll still think it can be improved and tell it to destroy the universe?
