  • Oh yeah that was a shitshow. I made a point to keep “master” in my repos and configurations because it’s the other meaning of master - one of the many others. Words are allowed to mean different things, ya know? If I’m drinking some coke I’m certainly not drugging myself (…I hope).

    After all, the command to attach to a master is not “git slave”, it’s “git pull”.










  • Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

    Yeah, anything that outputs HTML and CSS can do so. There’s a module for Apache to write webpages in Python (libapache-mod-python) and I’m p sure someone somewhere made a module to do it in Rust already except they’re infighting over whether tag parsing in it should be marked unsafe.

    For that matter you do can write web pages in your shell eg.: bash, that’s what CGI is all about.




  • The Boys

    realistic

    Ooooh boy do we tell them?

    The tl;dr is: just because you suck, doesn’t mean everyone else automagically does.

    Here’s the thing about the power to stop time: if it doesn’t come accompanied by a lot of secondary-required powers (2RPs) , then it’d become so cumbersome and harmful in short order that your morals wouldn’t have time (stopped or not) to flush down the toiler in the first place. Plusminus the “if you’d do it, you never had high morals in the first place” argument.

    Simplest cases:

    • No 2RP power to start time. Ooopsie there goes your life as soon as your start your first experiment.
    • No ability to transfer movement / moventum to things, including air, in stopped time. You could stop time to think over a plan, but not to take prep steps for it. Forget about going to bed to take a nap: even if you could move, the bed, the carpeting and the pillow would explode into plasma as soon as time resumed.
    • If time is stopped, that means you are blind, right? Photons going around are stopped, and they can’t interact with your body that way.
    • Breathing too, for that matter. Dragon Ball Z actually toyed with that idea with a character who could stop time but only while holding his breath.
