Wow, you're right, autotools dev work started a decade prior to Linux 0.01's release. And looking deeper into ./configure, there looks to be checks running here that only matter on old Solaris systems...
At least it's not node_modules
They call it a polyfill because it polyfills your disk
Terrible bait
Is that considered bait? I'll remove it, I don't mean to be hostile.
What do you mean by "more powerful" wrt CMake? Are you referring to, say, integration abilities with other projects (since know CMake is really widely-used)?
Thanks for the advice and the example!
Yeah I was considering using one of these two, out of curiosity.
I've heard complaints about CMake... on pre-2015 forums, so I don't know where it's at now.
I've done very little from the developer side of Meson but I do recall having tried a sound theme that, inexplicably, had a Meson-based installer. (It was just .ogg files iirc.) That's probably a good sign if someone picked it over an install.sh
Though you're right, there's probably little advantage in me not using a Makefile here, except again, curiosity
Gonna eat all the Wuxia pills.
Heavenly Pearl pill? Nom. Nine Color White Lotus pill? Nom. Holy Flame pill? Nom. You refine it, I dine it.
Once I eat all the dānyào Mike 'n' Ikes I'll either leave the room a Dragon Warrior or I'll meet Master Oogway in the spirit realm. Maybe he can give me advice on the Daoist approach on debugging C++ multithreading.
If my soul evaporates it'll be a bummer tho
Well, I don't mean downgrade him totally! Give him super strength or something but take it to its conclusion.
Authors realized this problem with Flash, so they added a mildly magic mystery Speed Force thing that solves the too-many-Gs problem with "nah he just slows time down or something and the Speed Force is mysterious and different" iirc.
But without the handwaviness he'd need to watch acceleration and calorie counts and speed up his thoughts and not slip and fall into an inertial death. If that makes sense (-‿-")
All of this stuff makes me wonder how hard it would be to make a fully pedantic story.
I've seen books where the hero was on the verge of winning but gets randomly concussed by a piece of shrapnel. Disoriented, hospital.
Another where the hero had hearing loss issues from solo pistol badassing too much, sans ear protection. (Forgot the titles of these stories).
But what would it take to meet everything? Imagine Superman. Now he has to mind his acceleration to save people. He also has to mind distribution of force, since he can't lift a plane without puncturing it. (Maybe he can make a little energy net under the plane somehow to distribute pressure?) And then he has to mind the Law of Conservation of Energy unless he splits apart matter somehow. And then this and that...
Will adherently realistic changes downrank most stories? I for one laugh my ass off when The Rock flexes his broken arm cast off in F&F.
I tried a bunch of boot-from-USB tests and it fixed itself. Woot
Funny, I saw this to an extreme, a ways back.
Someone posted for software help on some forum about something and... they described everything. I shit you not, their description was a determinate system in it of itself.
CPU, GPU, SSD, ram, thermal fans, size measurements, age, resolution, price point, model, kernel version, installed package count, filesystem setup, update log, journalctl, dmesg, Xorg log, genome sequence. And the kicker?
First comment:
ok but i'm not sure what you're asking. what's the problem, exactly?
No other comments.
Here's something positive: precisely mentioning what they tried on a problem already!
If someone's stuck on a problem and defines what help they need, then I have no thoughts either way. It's just a problem, and something to be helped through. Neutral.
But if they describe what they did already, then I think "Wow, this person really put in some I-don't-give-up effort! Nice work, bro!"
Haha, thanks!
Btw I think a post like this would be better suited for !casualconversation@lemm.ee (not saying to repost there now) or a similar discussion sub ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
This isn't a qu-- actually you heard that already (˃ . ˂˶)
I can definitely attest to the culture, which is fresh air compared to a lot of networks (e.g. that Draw a Duck post is probably far beyond a lot of platforms' capabilities/proclivities)
I think some of it boils down to:
Just my conjectures ¯(ツ)_/¯

B. The Social Value of Privacy
Some utilitarians like Etzioni frame society needs and individual needs as a dichotomy where society should usually win (p. 761 or pdf page 17). Others like Dewey thinks "individual rights are not trumps, but are protections by society from its intrusiveness" that should be measured in welfare, not utility. "Part of what makes a society a good place in which to live is the extent to which it allows people freedom from the intrusiveness of others" (p. 762 or pdf page 18). So, privacy can manifest in our right to not be intruded.
A. Understanding the Many Dimensions of Privacy
Privacy isn't about hiding a wrong, concealment, or secrecy (p. 764 or pdf page 20).
Being watched's "chilling effects [i.e. getting scared into not doing something] harm society because, among other things, they reduce the range of viewpoints expressed and the degree of freedom with which to engage in political activity"; but even so, it's kinda super hard to prove that a chilling effect happened so it's easy for a Nothing to Hider to say that the NSA's "limited surveillance of lawful activity will not chill behavior sufficiently to outweigh the security benefits" (p. 765 or pdf page 21). Personal damage from privacy is hard to prove by nature, but it still exists.
If we use the taxonomy, we notice that the NSA thingamabob has:
But then the Nothing to Hide argument only focuses on one or two definitions but not others. So it's unproductive.
(p. 766-767 or pdf page 22-23)
B. Understanding Structural Problems
Privacy isn't usually one big harm, like that one thing where Rebecca Schaefer and Amy Boyer were killed by a DMV-data-using stalker and database-company-using stalker respectively (p. 768 or pdf page 24); it's closer to a bunch of minor things like how gradual pollution is.
Airlines violated their privacy policies after 9/11 by giving the government a load of passenger info. Courts decided the alleged contractual damage wasn't anything and rejected the contract claim. However, this breach of trust falls under the secondary use taxonomy thing and is a power imbalance in the social trust between corpo and individual: if the stated promise is meaningless, companies can do whatever they want with data -- this is a structural harm even if it's hard to prove your personal damages (p.769-770 or pdf page 25-26)
There should be oversight -- warrants need probable cause, wiretaps should be minimal and with judicial supervision -- Bush oopsied here (p. 771 or pdf page 27).
"Therefore, the security interest should not get weighed in its totality against the privacy interest. Rather, what should get weighed is the extent of marginal limitation on the effectiveness of a government information gathering or data mining program by imposing judicial oversight and minimization procedures. Only in cases where such procedures will completely impair the government program should the security interest be weighed in total, rather than in the marginal difference between an unencumbered program versus a limited one. Far too often, the balancing of privacy interests against security interests takes place in a manner that severely shortchanges the privacy interest while inflating the security interests. Such is the logic of the nothing to hide argument" (p. 771-772 or pdf page 27-28).
Nothing to Hide defines privacy too narrowly and ignores the other problems of surveillance and data mining.

We expand the "nothing to hide" argument to a more compelling, defensible thesis. That way we can attack it more cleanly
"The NSA surveillance, data mining, or other government information- gathering programs will result in the disclosure of particular pieces of information to a few government officials, or perhaps only to government computers. This very limited disclosure of the particular information involved is not likely to be threatening to the privacy of law-abiding citizens. Only those who are engaged in illegal activities have a reason to hide this information. Although there may be some cases in which the information might be sensitive or embarrassing to law-abiding citizens, the limited disclosure lessens the threat to privacy. Moreover, the security interest in detecting, investigating, and preventing terrorist attacks is very high and outweighs whatever minimal or moderate privacy interests law-abiding citizens may have in these particular pieces of information." (p. 753, or pdf page 9)
A. A Pluralistic Conception of Privacy (aka "what's the definition")
Privacy can't be defined as intimate information (Social Security/religion isn't "intimate"), or the right to be let alone (shoving someone and not leaving them alone isn't a privacy violation), or 1984 Orwell surveillant chilling social control (your beverage use history isn't social control) (p. 755-756 or pdf page 11-12).
Privacy is kind of blobby so we define it as a taxonomy of similar stuff:
(p. 758-759, or pdf page 14-15)
So privacy is a set of protections against a set of related problems (p. 763-764 or pdf page 19-20).

Maybe not specifically, but I had to double-take and reread it, and it got a laugh out of me. Could indirectly cause a wholesome moment if you tell something like that to someone like me.
