Thanks, I didn’t know they work like that.

I was thinking more along the line of the return 1 example.

In the real world, when an exit code is a boolean

Do you have any examples of that scenario? I can’t think of any, and from the top of my head it doesn’t make any sense to mix exit codes with bool returns.

How is Linux less annoying than this?

On Linux I never had a BSOD into an unavoidable 40+ min update while I’m trying to finish something ASAP. I choose when to download updates, and when to install them.

It’s like food, peasants compile their packages, nobles have someone else do it for them

Good point, but you can do if === true… and else if === false…

But definitely better to throw an error instead of nan.

in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a would library exists.

If string return nan, else % 2

So it’s more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

Dependency chain: is-even depends on is-odd which depends on is-number

Where did you get my claims about Ubuntu from?

You joined a comment chain about Fedora and Ubuntu, so…

I didn’t write a word about Canonical bro.

Thought you’re the other dude

RIP lisp machine

I really won’t… The closest I’ll ever get to installing it is Mint, there’s absolutely no need to waste time decrapifying it myself. Maybe you’ll get there as well pal.

Fedora is indeed mostly backed by a for-profit company, always was.

Pretty much every successful FOSS project is funded by for-profits, but that doesn’t change the fact non-profit companies have completely different goals and obligations.

Not sure about the rest of the rant

That explains why you think people don’t use Ubuntu because it’s for noobs. They’re undoubtedly the scummiest distro since Novell-SUSE.

Yeah because fedora is made by a for-profit company that’s helping Microsoft EEE Linux, has sold user data to Amazon, shows ads in the terminal, collects contact info from Azure so the marketing team can upsell you, and hijacks established commands to trick you into using their package manager which slows down boot times with every package installed, oh wait…

Answer to both 1 and 2: start with an Emacs “distro” like Doom Emacs or Spacemacs. Starting from scratch as a beginner is a surefire way to quit.

How bout you squeeze a lemon and mix the juice with soda water?

Your face when it boots after an update

Skin them all the same?
