and would not include it in the main repo

Tests that verify behavior at run time belong elsewhere

The test blobs belong in whatever repository they're used.

It's comically dumb to think that a repository won't include tests. So binary blobs like this absolutely do belong in the repository.

...unless you build the executable with optimizations that remove the stack frame. Good luck debugging that sucker!

Disabling a systemd service won't prevent it from starting. For example, if another service depends on it then it will start anyway.

You have to mask the service which redirects the service files to /dev/null so that the service effectively has zero directives.

systemctl mask --now snapd

It also means that anything which depends on snapd will likely fail. That is absolutely an improvement since we obviously don't want anything that depends on snaps.

Don't worry, apps are so slow that we don't risk repeating the same problem of double-clicking causing the first click to open the app and the second click to do something in the app that you didn't want to do.

I was running Fedora. Something like 27 or so. I needed drivers. I don't remember if it was AMD or Nvidia, but they were only available on RedHat.

So I downloaded the RedHat drivers for the GPU and forced it to install. It worked! It was great.

Then when I updated the distro to the next release... everything failed. It was dropping into grub, but no video was output. Ooof.

So I ended up enabling a terminal console and connecting to it via a serial port to debug. I had to completely uninstall that RPM and I was never happy that it was properly gone. So a few months later I ended up reinstalling the whole OS.

On the plus side, I learned a lot about grub and serial consoles. Worth it.

Speaking as a former game cheater...

Cheaters are going to cheat. Booting into Linux isn't going to change that.

Anti-cheats just keep the filthy casuals from cheating. A broken anti-cheat on Linux would be fixed pretty quickly.

those low amount of players also account for like 70% of the bug reports

Those bug reports are often real bugs that affect other platforms too.

Only 3 of the roughly 400 bug reports submitted by Linux users were platform specific, that is, would only happen on Linux.

tastes good

Sir, let's discuss the taste of water.

My sister tells me water is tasteless. I disagree. Water definitely has a taste. I have yet to find water with a taste I like except when I am very dehydrated.

Tap water? Definitely no. Filtered water? Nope. Mineral water? Nah. Flavored water? Eugh.

Tea, though. Tea is amazing. Especially coffee tea. Coffee tea is amazing. You take coffee beans, grind them up, and pass hot water through it. It's so amazing.

First: Don’t take financial advice from randos on the internet

Just a conversation, man :)

I didn't even know someone could borrow against securities. Sounds like I need to have a discussion with my finance guy...

... speaking of finance guys, I should find one.

A million dollars is a number we need to have a conversation about in this country, because everyone wants to hate on millionaires.

Sure, let's talk about that.

People who hate on millionaires are making arguments a million hours too late (for many of the reasons you stated). The rage these days is to hate on billionaires.

You have zero cash plus a property asset. The value of that asset will grow as well.

Well okay I did ask about buying a fancy house so I think it's a reasonable assumption.

But I want to change the argument ~~move the goalpost~~. Let's suppose I bought a fancy house and the housing market bubble finally burst... and that the house is now worth 1/3 of what I bought it for. That loss of value caused a massive heart attack and definitely caused death.

Or let's say I spent the money on hookers and blow. Might as well go out with a bang, after all.

Now all of that value truly is gone. Sucks to be my kids I guess. But at least I had a fun time, right?

Why does a ScrewdriverFactoryFactoryProvider need PHP? I imagine it's a typo'd Phillips-head screwdriver factory that got lost in the conversion to producing star-spangled torx screws.
