"How about"? These situations might exist, but this clearly isn't one. Two reasons:

1. "The Nothing Phone button gives you a tap confirmation via both haptics and sound, and then ignores the tap […]"

2. There is a really good reason to tap this button 3 times in a row.

Would be somewhat nice to have the link in the comment text, yeah.

Then again, one does take the risk of landing on a site like that and not being asked every other time clicking a link.

Are scripts even necessary? I don't think e.g. mvn has any form of scripts¹, but if the dependency is compromised, you're likely to execute whatever compromised code is in there the next time you do mvn verify (or whatever). Slightly less wormable maybe, running tests or at least checking whether your thing still runs after upgrading package versions is really common, no?

¹ Annotation processors are a thing and somewhat similar to rust macros in function, but you need to set those up manually for each dependency, iirc.

I was trying to write something like this in rust at some point, just for the joke that you can compile that rust to wasm, and then it can compile itself to JVM assembly. The complexity of it turned out to be quite a bit too high for a joke only.

I'm curious: Do you have a nice set of GUI applications that come with the UX you'd expect of TUIs?

(I'm not actually sure what the UX of TUIs is I love so much. Relative simplicity / focus on core features? Uff, notepad wins this one on vim. Fast startup times? I use gomuks, that takes a minute for the initial sync. No mouse? Moving around in TUI text editors with hjkl is slow. I either jump where I want to go with search or use the mouse. Lightness over SSH/network is the only thing I can't come up with a counterexample for.)

SSH waits for the server key before it presents the client keys, right? Does this mean that different VMs from different users have the same key? (Or rather, all VMs have the same key? A quick look shows s00{1,2,3}.exe.xyz all having the same key.) So this is full MitM?

Does not for me, not even with busybox sh and no funky escape codes in PS1 at all. It does with cat or yes running, so just something being output is not the problem… Hm.

The "caveats" section in its docs hints at it, but to be explicit: no_panic is a band-aid that can break when changing optimizer options or compiler/llvm version. It's not a good option for library crates, e.g.

That being said, I'm not at all happy with all the complexity and ecosystem fragmentation that async brought. I understand what you're saying. But surprise panics is a bit of a pain point for me.

You still get bash scripts in the targets, with $ escape hell and weirdness around multiline scripts, ordering & parallelism control headaches, and no support for background services.

The only sane use for Makefiles is running a few simple commands in independent targets, but do you really need make then?

(The argument that "everyone has it installed" is moot to me. I don't.)

Disk speed? You can use zram on a diskless system. Are you sure you know what it does? (There's also the thing where it may be faster to read data from ram compressed and decompress it in cpu cache than reading it uncompressed, but that obviously depends on the workload.)

Make is incredibly cursed. My favorite example is it having a built-in rule (oversimplified, some extra Makefile code that is pretended to exist in every Makefile) that will extract files from a version control system. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Catalogue...

What you're saying is essentially ”Just Write Bash Scripts”, but with an extra layer of insanity on top. I hate it when I encounter a project like this.
