It works, but the best in me I cannot explain fully first 3 symbols. /*?sr/bin/env finds /usr by expanding *? to a first matching directory. But why not just /*usr/ instead?

I think I was just trying to minimize accidentally matching the wrong thing. Both do work though and it is kinda nice to be more readable.

If I remember right I think ? Is exactly one character only, or maybe it does non greedy .

Spotify just (last week or 2 weeks ago) introduced lossless compression (FLAC) and it sounds amazing.


Wow didn't know about that, thanks.


Last decades? wipes the tear You surely forgot /s at end, I hope. The evil incarnation what is called "Samsung fridge" that I have in my kitchen required repairman's attention just 3 months after the purchase. And then every 3 months after. And children sacrifices, sorry - steam baths, for the ice maker every month or so.

Samsung appliances - never again.

PS. Repairman told me that Samsung have fixed already one of the problems my fridge has by the time he looked at it, kind of hidden recall and fix. Fridge's version (yes, they have versions) have advanced like 7 iterations already from the time I bought it. That means there were at least 7 serious design/manufacturing problems that they had to fix.


I mean.. that's based on the assumption that they actually care about delivering a working appliance.. As long as the spyware works, they don't really care about the "cooling food" part..


Thank you, a very heartwarming story indeed.

I think you just have coined a new saying - "Always invite Anna" sounds intriguing, and yet at the same time very descriptive.


How crazy will it drive my dog?


good point, it's within their audible frequency which is between 40Hz to 60kHz (65kHz in some dogs); the knife is 40kHz, so it will drive them completely crazy.


Red vs Blue?


Or could it be (or to be a bit of devil's advocate) that Rust projects require only 2% (1/50) of manpower, comparing the same project using C++?


That's not devil's advocate, that's just being silly.


I couldn't even tell if you are joking. Rust is weird, its like a programming language people developed a parasocial relationship with. If a Twitch streamer was a programming language it would be Rust. Perhaps its just people being immature I don't know.


I was, but I guess adding /s at the end in these cases is a requirement nowadays...


> I couldn't even tell if you are joking

I'm thinking the same about your comment :D


It's a programming language with a fandom, isn't that odd? ^^


Even if the basic idea might make sense there's no way the number if anywhere close to 1/50. Even 1/2 sounds unrealistic.


Pardon for the old meme here, but... "Pics, or did not happened!"?


Yeah I kind of expected explosionpron not camera rig diagrams.


Is it weird that internet companies do not have this kind of oversight?


how much money can their lobbiests throw at the gub'mnt compared to the US car dealership associations?


Car dealership associations have pretty impressive lobbying capabilities. In many (most?) states you must buy a new vehicle from a dealer - it's against the law to buy direct from the manufacturer.
