I've recently seen a meme along the lines of "[Rust community will come after you with torches and pitchforks if you use 'unsafe' wrong]", and I thought it was funny because I didn't realize there was a recent example, where someone left the community. Now it's not so funny anymore.
@xj9@Starcake@alpine_thistle At the very least, break up US, break up China, break up India. They're dangers to the world and to themselves. Broken, just not yet broken up.
@dek Kill the English language. It's just shorthand for "energy extracted from a renewable source", where the source is renewable not because energy is created, but because the source is also a sink in terms of some other source.
The sun will die, but for the foreseeable future, abstracting it as unlimited makes no practical difference. And English is practical.
@dek@Jill@Wolf480pl Entropy decreases locally by increasing it globally. Your brain creates complex structures, but in the process converts sugar into water, carbon dioxide and waste heat.
When that nickel was created, a relatively local and homogenous ball of matter exploded into a chaotic nebula of matter, some of it still helium and hydrogen, some of it heavier elements.
And then two weeks later, I discover that even this version of the post had a serious error snuck into it. That PWD and that nix-instantiate are evaled at alias definition time. Final final version:
alias nix-bu="nix-build --no-out-link" alias nix-pure='nix-build --option restrict-eval true --option sandbox true -I pwd=$PWD -I nixpkgs=$(nix-instantiate --eval -E "with import <nixpkgs> {}; path")' alias nix-pu="nix-pure --no-out-link"

See those A--E buttons? Those are the programmable buttons -- they will call into a program you stored in memory. The slot you see on the left side of the box is the mouth of the strip reader. You feed it the strip and it reels it in with a whirring sound and then spits it out from the equivalent opening on the other side of the box.
The strip then slides neatly into the space above the A--E buttons. You gently push it through a third opening just below the right-hand upper edge of the box -- you may see a hint of the opening just to the right of the x<>y imprint above the E button. This way you can replace the pre-printed functions with your names for the reprogrammed functionality.
It came with a booklet of read-only magnetic strips with various applications for e.g. statistics, finance or physics, and a bunch of writable strips for your personal use.
You know what, I will get out of bed, make myself a nice bowl of milk and cereals, and do just the same thing.
I was going to finally watch the Tenenbaums after you mentioned it, but now you reminded me I once started watching Life Aquatic, and I liked it, but didn't finish it for some real-life reason that day.
