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

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 38 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I hope it comes preinstalled with sl and similar programs.

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] const@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sip@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

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.

hardcore mode

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

[–] theghostoutside_@aussie.zone 85 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Shouldn't it be

if guess != number

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

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 47 points 1 year 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

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

More fun like that

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The game we see here is Russian Russian Roulette.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Russian-in-Ukraine roulette

[–] chocobo13z@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] Synthead@lemmy.world 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Delete a random one of the System DLLs

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

[–] yum13241@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Just delete hal.dll.

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

[–] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 47 points 1 year 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.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] glad_cat@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

its 14 lines

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Error: that file path does not exist.

[–] Isoprenoid@programming.dev 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that actually what happens? Let me check.

[–] itsathursday@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

String ain’t raw and \ will escape

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's what happens on my machine.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

what machine?

[–] nogrub@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

were not shipping your machine dave

[–] busydoinnothin@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

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

[–] chahk@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] elint@programming.dev 7 points 1 year 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.

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
