“just give the computer enough data and it will come up with its own ideas of what to say”
i think it is very funny that some of the biggest companies in the world decided to sink massive amounts of money into the problem of making computers better at talking to humans, and they all collectively decided that solving that problem did not include, as acceptance criteria, “be able to tell the computer what to say”
apparently the answer if you want to limit yourself to v6 in theory is to do the same thing but tarball the temporary file with pax and then read out the modified time in list mode with -o 'listopt=%(mtime=%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)T'
if you want to limit yourself to v6 in practice (nobody actually implements listopt), same thing but manually parse the tarball
if you were wondering, apparently the answer is
if test ! -f build/.mtime; then printf '%b' '\n' > build/.mtime; fi; touch -r "$FILE" build/.mtime; TZ=UTC0 diff -u build/.mtime /dev/null | sed '1!d;s/.*\t\([^ ]\) \([^ ]\).*/\1T\2Z/'
(replacing \t with a tab character)
BUT this requires version 7 of POSIX
BUT it should still work in e·g Macintosh even tho they’re not strictly conformant
“chatgpt how to get the last modified time of a file using only posix commandline utilities”
how much you wanna bet ChatGPT is trained on GNU utilities and the things it suggest do something entirely different on BSD‐based platforms like macOS
the only game that you could make an argument that the zelda timeline was relevant for was hyrule warriors
