  • is the fact that people can with effort and error figure out how to do something a reason not to make it easier for them to do?

    I mean

    you can in theory write multi-threaded bug-free C code -- just read the docs and the specs and the source of your libs and never ever do something that seems to work but is subtly fatally incorrect

    and yet we still have golang and rust and many other options to do things more safely and easily

    if someone wants to use Linux but doesn't want to memorize the Hundred Mandatory Commands and Thousand Flags lest they accidentally cat > /dev/sda, why shouldn't there be a system for them?

  • as a professional sociotechnical problem solver I will join you on this fatal hill

    like take the 4 types of documentation in diátaxis

    man pages usually fulfill the reference need, and sometimes kind of that of how-to guides if you're lucky and your local man has examples

    but that leaves more than 50% of documentation needs lacking

    and discoverability is atrocious -- you have to already know that the command (or commands) you need exists and what it's called

    one of the most useful things I learned in a linux sysadmin course was apropos / man -k, which lets you search installed man pages by keyword. but hardly anyone else seems to know about it -- I only learned of it because a teaching assistant mentioned it off hand! -- and even then it only helps if you guess the right keyword for your problem

    I am vexed by this situation

  • nah

  • sounds like the kind of policy an AI would make 🤔

  • sounds like i need to watch the TOS films and DS9 then

    space magic sounds like my jam

  • it does now

    oh god

    what have you done

  • it has existed and will exist for as long as time itself

    so

    yes by definition

  • just gonna light my geek cred on fire here

    I have not seen the original movies. Nor TOS or DS9. I've seen maybe halfish of TNG, and am currently trying to watch it all through.

  • literally asks people for their opinions on a community dedicated to asking people their opinions "Your opinion isn't wanted"

    ok buddy 👍

  • but entropy would just

    continue

    driving all closed systems towards chaos and the heat death of the universe

    im pretty sure Captain Picard is still inside the universe pacifism or no

  • i dont get it but im up voting you anyway

  • wow thats a heck of a username

  • i like the cut of your jib

  • yknow actually I think I need to ask some of these

  • Some questions to ask lemmy:

    • why
    • where were you on the evening of January 15th between the hours of 5 and 9 pm, and is there anyone that can confirm that
    • hey what's that weird light
    • who would win in a fight: Jean-Luc Picard or entropy
    • what's the video game of all time
    • can you, though? can you really?
    • potato
    • so you just ... live like this, huh
  • i am fine with it and think it is neat

  • i am glad my shitposting was educational

    though tbh you're unlikely to ever need this knowledge unless you're heavily into functional programming or golfing or coding interviews or other esoteric arts
