What was the cause?

That requires you to be able to reproduce it.

You should really put a PTSD trigger warning on that quote.

You’re way smarter than me. I’m sure you can come up with something.

What does it matter what came before or after the offending command? Clearly, /usr/bin/ar says it’s unable to copy a file because of Success, which is a bullshit error message whithin or without [Edit: a pipe &&].

Zangendeutsch ist zu hoch für mich.

If you’re using a descendant of Debian, you will find a line like this in your ~/.bashrc file:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$

The 32m part controls the color of the username. (\u). 1 is red, 2 is green (as seen in the user and host part, \u@\h), 3 (as seen for the directory, \w) is blue.

You can use this to distinguish different hosts by color.

My bank (German, just like needanke’s probably is) requires that exact 2FA method once every 3 months or whenever you login via an unrecognized device. Also for every transaction you make and when you want to check bank statements more than 1 month in the past.

Well, that happens when you don’t override the toString method. Not worse than Java’s 0xf00cu

Naah, he’s spitting some fuel into the engine to win the race… or something.

Thanks for catching that. I fixed my comment.

I learned Prolog in university and it was instructive. But has anyone ever professionally used it?

doesn’t this definition lack a recursive case to ensure that the mother is either Eve or a descendent of Eve

We don’t see the definition of mother. It might already encode that Y is a person.

And there should probably be a father case in there as well?

While every person does also have a father, it’s completely redundant, since being a person can fully be described by [Edit: being having] a mother (or being Adam or Eve).

I didn’t know what XCode was, so I read the first three words of its Wikipedia article.

Xcode is Apple’s

And suddenly, all surprise vanished.

If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone

That reads differently after 2024.

That’s the best thing I’ve read in a while, and I’m only on page 2!

Can you blame them? Last month my colleague (we’re both developers) pointed out how fucking deep we got into the woods of the “What if”s and “What should happen here”s of a feature that looked dead simple on its surface.
