Just make sure you've committed and/or stashed first, as you don't really want to rely on the stochastic process to retain your local-only critical work product.

If you don't have an agent swarm that's already trained to re-scroll all the unscrolled feeds and translate them to binaural beats during your micronaps you're ngmi

When I read "degrades functionality" I thought it was going to be some minor cloud-related feature, but holy shit they're disabling the ability to save files?? That article headline is really underselling it.

I have a splitter but it's pretty niche and probably not the best DAC

He sucks too. Not everyone is working backwards from their team sports fandoms.

aconfmgr[https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr] is a kinda similar project for pacman-based distributions.

The difference is that it strives to track all non-user files, (not just packages, and especially /etc), but you can adopt it partially.

I'm supposed to entrust my life and others' to this and they're bragging on their home page about GitHub stars?

If you want to get to a higher level compiler, prompt fondling will not suffice; you need to master formal specification. Then machine learning algorithms can do the program synthesis to implement the spec. But just talking out your vague software requirements with a chatbot is not analogous to programming.

Also, like others said, even once you have your formal spec, C is a particularly bad choice (unless you want to specify quite a bit more). You want the program implemented in a language with as many safety constraints on it as possible, not one where you have to mentally track memory.

> In June 2025, WBD announced plans to separate its Streaming & Studios and Global Networks divisions into two separate publicly traded companies. This separation is now expected to be completed in Q3 2026, prior to the closing of this transaction. The newly separated publicly traded company holding the Global Networks division, Discovery Global, will include premier entertainment, sports and news television brands around the world including CNN, TNT Sports in the U.S., and Discovery, free-to-air channels across Europe, and digital products such as Discovery+ and Bleacher Report.

So no, I don't think this gets in the way of Ellison taking over the rest of TV news; if anything it seems like it smooths the path.

Exactly, I want it to complain if I try to manipulate the fields/methods of an unknown object.

Yeah post 3.10 you don't need Union, Optional, List, Duct, Tuple. Any still necessary when you want to be permissive, and I'm still hoping for an Unknown someday...
