A perfect copy of you is you for all intents and purposes, otherwise I fully agree with your description.

Just use a formatter. It'll show you that the second one is two statements:

1. {} (the empty block)
2. +[] coerce an empty array to a number: new Number(new Array())

Gotcha. Given how the post we're replying to is about Stonehenge, I guess I assumed that's what you're talking about

Just Stop Oil said the paint was made of cornstarch and would dissolve in the rain.

Merriman said experts cleaned the orange powder from the stones because they were concerned about how it might react to water.

Might.

So because it could in the future maybe possibly damage it in some unspecified amount, they cleaned it off to be super sure there will be no damage.

So what fucking damage that really happened in the real world are you talking about?

That's the last three words of the article. The author didn't miss the connection either.

I always wonder when people repeat something from the article or ask a question that's answered in the article: did you not read it or did you just want to start a discussion about this connection and are somehow constrained in the number of words you can write per day?

I haven't read anything this cursed in a while

Btw

Putin wants the old borders of the Soviet Union back, not socialism.

That's what I wrote …

Yeah, the Soviet Union, but with all the lip service to communism replaced by actual capitalism.

Not at all. There is a suspicious amount of trolls/idiots here but don't think the people pushing back aren't leftists. See e.g. me

The fact that there's a lot of “leftists” on social media that propose voting third party in the next US general election. Due to the spoiler effect, everyone following that advice will help Trump getting elected.

These “leftists” are therefore either idiots or false flag actors (most likely Russian trolls, since Russia is known to both employ them and to benefit a lot from a Trump presidency)

So this is how the furry subculture started

That cis women playing against trans women is unfair. As said above, the actual data proves that this is not the case. Of course it's undeniably true that reactionary dudes (and maybe even women) feel like things are unfair, but the actual facts invalidate that feeling.

The discretized, simplified middle school biology you're invoking here is simply not a precise enough model to depict reality.

Trans women aren't “male” from a muscle development perspective, as they don't have a male hormone profile lol.

Nah, that's simply not true if you look at the actual data about how well trans athletes perform.

I usually write “POSIXy shell” but I thought that was clear from context this time.

The problem is that exit statuses !=0 aren't treated as error by default (with a way to turn that off for individual expressions). Instead you have to set multiple settings and avoid certain constructs in bash/ZSH/...

Everything that works like a modern programming language by default is fine of course

Yeah, and that's just one of many many things to consider.

As a long time former ZSH user, I'll definitely include ZSH in shell languages to avoid for scripting.

The problem is simply the number of rules and incantations to slavishly include everywhere to make your script bail on error. set -e is not enough by far.

Python with plumbum or nushell are definitely better.

Oh you sweet summer child.

If you don't use pipes or command substitutions, set -e gets you a fair part of the way there.

If you're interested, I can look up the rest of the arcane incantations necessary.

Shell scripts were a mistake. The weirdness you have to remember to safely stop executing when something fails is mind-boggling.

I'm so glad nushell exists and doesn't need any configuring to just do the reasonable thing and stop executing when something fails.
