There's Linux distro called suicide Linux that wipes your hard drive on any mistyped command.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I hope it comes preinstalled with sl and similar programs.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

if you type sl it wipes your drive. No funny train for you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Nah; it puts funny train to make you say phew then wipes your drive anyways!

or with ll alias for ls -laF, I'm using it so often, even if it's not available, I still type it 5 times a minute.

Why don't those people just run an amnesiac OS like tails? Do they not trust themselves not to say up persistence?

[–] [email protected] 87 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Shouldn't it be

if guess != number

Isn't Russian Roulette played with one bullet in the chamber? Not five?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago (2 children)

A chamber is the space in automatics, semiautomatic, and the slide back single shot weapons for the bullet when it is about to be fired. Any game of Russin Roulette played with a bullet in the chamber is going to be very short.

Russian Roulette is played with one bullet in the cylinder, the spinny thing on a revolver.

Lemme tell you about the difference between a clip and a magazine!

A magazine is a paper distributed like newspapers but in more of a booklet form and with higher quality paper.

A clip is the thing that holds you chips bag closed after opening so they don't get stolen.

Edit: that should be stale, not stolen, but I'm leaving it

Russian roulette hard mode: you’re hoping for a jam.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

More fun like that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago (2 children)

The game we see here is Russian Russian Roulette.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Russian-in-Ukraine roulette

Polish Roulette?

~~It wouldn't work anyways because decorator can't be applied to variable setting~~
Turn out I somehow mistook # as @

Isn't it also played with 6 slots instead of 10?

You'll get an OSError if you try to remove a directory with os.remove

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.remove

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was gonna say, isn’t os.remove only for files? Docs say yes.

Delete a random one of the System DLLs

It’ll crash good and hard after a game or 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Just delete hal.dll.

shutil.rmtree('C:\\Windows\\System32')

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No docstring, no shebang, no main function, no raw strings, and I’m sure they don’t have unit tests with a mocked filesystem.

Pylint is screaming right now.

it’s the Nazi version.

I skimmed the linked doc and they don't:

Reformat code, since we believe that developers should do that

Which seems more open and forgiving than some linters. What makes them strict and inflexible?

Or did you mean actual Nazi run the project? (I hate that this is a possibility.)

Edit: They do say they have lots of strict rules. So, I am going that is it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

It’s flake8 with all the rules enabled. You get a hundred warnings even for small programs. I love it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

its 14 lines

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Error: that file path does not exist.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is that actually what happens? Let me check.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

String ain’t raw and \ will escape

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's what happens on my machine.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

what machine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

were not shipping your machine dave

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

I have laughed at this for too long. Good way to start the morning.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Still a better chance of success than an in-place upgrade of Win 10 to Win 11.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Have you actually tried that? It just works. Win11 isnt much more than a big Win10 feature update. We've updated a few hundred machines across several customers and they rarely required manual intervention.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

So they posted that screenshot before even trying to run it on some useless file to see it works.. Internet points are surely a drug
