$PATH is not tied to any specific shell. And what you're describing is a shell, so I'm not sure how it's any different from existing solutions.

How is that a non-sequitur? You're the one who brought up the topic of credibility in the first place. The comment was simply made in response to that.

Brutalism is absolutely a visual style. It's an architectural style artificially designed to look drab, raw and ugly.

If you look at brutalist buildings, it becomes obvious that its looks are the results of intentional design completely removed from its underlying "structural" concerns. You don't accidentally arrive there by refusing to think about aesthetics or by just being "honest".

What's the advantage of additionally using rclone vs. just restic?

It's funny that I've seen people both argue that LLMs are exclusively useful only to beginners who know next to nothing and also that they are only useful if you are a 50+ YoE veteran at the top of their craft who started programming with punch cards since they were 5-years-old.

I wonder which of these camps are right.

One of the most iconic lisp saying is literally about how every other languages are supposedly inferior to lisp, so I don't think it's a particularly good example here.

I mean I get this in theory.

But the lineup of high-quality games in production with Bevy just never stops to impress me. I'm always surprised by the new cool stuff they're making every time I take a peek at their community. Yes, most of them are not finished yet, but the engine is still young so that's understandable (gamedev can take years).

On the other hand, I'm still not really seeing any games being made in Fyrox despite it being a few months older than Bevy. Huge respect to the dev though, he's making great stuff.

But if I ever need to pick a pure Rust game engine at all, it's def going to be Bevy.

Sadly does not work on fish because the developers does not believe that users are intelligent enough to understand the obvious and intuitive outcome of flipping ">" (a valid operator in fish).

Yeah I aliased zi to z for this reason. z feels too much like a lottery ticket.

I really never understood the threat model behind this often repeated argument.

Most of these installation scripts are just simple bootstappers that will eventually download and execute millions lines of code authored and hosted by the same people behind the shell script.

You simply will not be capable of personally auditing those millions lines of code, so this problem boils down to your trust model. If you have so little trust towards the authors behind the project, to the point that you'd suspect them pulling absurdly convoluted ploys like:

> the web server behind mywebsite.com/foo.sh provides malware for the first request from your IP, but when you request it again it will show a different, clean file without any code

How can you trust them to not hide even more malicious code in the binary itself?

I believe the reason why this flawed argument have spread like a mind virus throughout the years is because it is something that is easy to do and easy to parrot in every mildly-relevant thread.

It is easy to audit a 5-line shell script. But to personally audit the millions lines of code behind the binary that that script will blindly download and run anyways? Nah, that's real security work and no one wants to actually do hard work here. We're just here to score some easy points and signal that we're a smart and security-conscious person to our peers.

> which are hosted by microsoft, and therefore easily MITM'able by government agencies.

If your threat model includes government agencies maliciously tampering your Deno binaries, you have far more things to worry about than just curl | sh.
