@wallhackio it has literally always been pawsible fur a file to spew an infinite amount of data and the core I/O APIs have always been able to handle this

@wallhackio you call it fad-chasing but unix I/O has literally always been stream-based

@u2764 “not modern web development (derogatory)” is not exactly a meaningful criticism to me, is my point

@u2764 well modern web development is shipping 50 billion tons of client side javascript with every request so

having two entire coreutils in the new LTS’s base system is a hilarious situation to end up in imo

there is something of a delicious irony in Ubuntu wanting to move to a Rust based coreutils reimplementation fur security reasons and then hiring a security firm to investigate its codebase and discovering 130 security bugs and also that cp specifically is subject to many open race conditions with security impacts

@u2764 the raw DOM API wouldn't be too verbose to do the same thing anyway. why do the chrome devs think you’d want to use react fur this

@aescling Super Bunnyhop released a video about how Outer Wilds could be used as an educational tool about planetary physics (which is correct)

So I made a comment to the video pointing out that the concept of "Quantum Entanglement" as described in the game is completely different from the actual physical phenomenon of the same name. I felt this was important because if we were going to have people thinking Outer Wilds could be used to demonstrate physics, we should also have people be aware of what it gets "wrong".

And the lead dev of the game responded to my comment basically saying "yeah you're right, my bad"
