That sounds less like clickbait and more an object lesson in the importance of copyleft to me.

Well, maybe it’s less a “class” and more a “good ol’ boy’s club.”

When trying to explain that concept, I like showing people this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc4ROCJYbm0&t=296

The one thing I’d add is to say don’t run a shell script from the Internet unless you’re damn sure that (a) you trust the entity providing it, and (b) you’re downloading via https and haven’t typo’d the URL.

He had added a Jellyfin repo to his apt sources.list file for some reason, which is weird and likely not the right way to do it these days. But it might have been in the past, so it could be OP was following some obsolete procedure (or one AI-hallucinated from an obsolete procedure).

After realizing that OP was completely going about it the wrong way, the guy you replied to just looked up the correct way and relayed that to him.

Why hire an MBA when chatgpt produces x10 quality & volume at a fraction of the cost.

Because they actually have class solidarity.

This implies that Javascript will get moving in the correct direction once it finishes installing dependencies, but it’s just going to get fucked with incorrect behavior that doesn’t even have the courtesy to throw an actual error.

Janeway from Prodigy. Or maybe somebody from Lower Decks, but I can’t decide which.

There are many, many cartoon characters I would vote for over Trump, all the way down to other villainous incompetents like Dick Dastardly or Elmer Fudd.

Space Ghost and Dino Boy Space Ghost or Space Ghost Coast to Coast Space Ghost?

Computing a nonsensical result is itself a failure. Continuing to run while avoiding giving an error in that case accomplishes nothing but to make the program harder to debug.

Sure, I could see that. But on the other hand, this is ostensibly a photo of a building that exists IRL, so clearly it can’t be topologically impossible in an Escher-esque way.

Escher used a lot of repeating patterns. This is more like a Picasso.

Exactly, which is why designing the language to allow it is incompetence.

the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense…

…itself makes no sense. It is wrong and bad that Javascript was ever designed that way in the first place.

Which “1” did it remove? And did it search the string to find a “1” to remove, or did it remove whichever character happened to be at array index 1?

It is ‘comprehensible’ in the sense that it’s possible to figure out how it happened, but it absolutely does not “make sense” in terms of being a reasonable language design decision. It’s 100% incompetence on the part of the person who created Javascript.

Listen here you little shit.

Wasn’t he celibate or something?

weird as fuck
