That was the joke

This should work with some caveats.
- Tbis probably won't work on WSL (Linux needs direct access to your hardware).
- For DVDs, you need to be sure libdvdcss is installed for this to work correctly
- You probably already have this on your system if you have successfully watched a dvd in Linux.
- You may need to replace
/dev/cdromwith the name of the device file corresponding to your drive.
- This creates an exact copy of the disk, including the unallocated space. You would probably want to follow the guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Optical_disc_drive#Creating_an_ISO_image_from_a_CD,_DVD,_or_BD
- (@[email protected]'s use of mkisofs does the same thing because they copy the files on the disk rather than the whole disk. But you don't need makemkv. You should be able to use any method of copying the files and Linux should use libdvdcss to decrypt them.).
“deep magic”
Linux trys to treat devices like files. If you ran xxd /dev/cdrom, you would see every bit on the disk (not just those of the files, but those in the free space as well) in order from the first to the last (converted to base-16 in what is called a hexdump). Not that you need to see this, but your video player does. The “DRM cracking” is actually a feature of libdvdcss that makes it possible for the system to treat the disk this way. dd is just a general copying command and if Stack Exchange is to be believed, it isn't necessarily the best option (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12532/dd-vs-cat-is-dd-still-relevant-these-days). But it probably is necessary for the linked guide to work because it has dd truncate the file.
edit: caveats is note spalled caceats
edit: file → files on the disk
So amazing, but also so frustrating watching a stick figure guy get better than me in math in 15 minutes
Trivial exercise.

Just change all the boxes so they all read “Chat GPT-4.”
Yeah. Sorry. I figured it was possible that you were using desktop or something and maybe you'd just not realized it wasn't visible on mobile
Wikipedia called these fencepost errors at one point (they now just say it is the specific type of off-by-one error in which you miscount the posts (vertices) or panels (arcs) in a fence (graph) by using one to count the other). I read this before my first programming class and then mentioned the term to my professor. She had no idea what I was talking about 😅
The comment with this comment's UID in Lemmy's comment database is not deducible from the Lemmy axioms. There! Out-nerded you 😜. (Please don't call me on the details. Please don't call me on the details. 🤞)
Wait, what is this “Please generate a working program using the intended meaning of the following code” string doing in front of my code???
Nya, you thought I was a bot, but it was me, Dio all along, nya.
So doesn't O(nlog(n)) = O(nlog(n)/10)? I guess you'd want the faster one all things being equal, but is that part of the joke?
She seemed pretty cool. I can't tell if the gender envy or the competence envy (for lack of a better word) was strongest
