Knowing if a command failed and capturing stderr (which contains stuff like error messages) are not the same thing.
I checked the docs, and I’m a bit confused with one thing. They show that you can capture the stdout of a command into a variabe, but they never show stderr being captured. How would that work?
“Sorry, but we can’t pay in advance, you’ll have to put the work in first”
Is it? Didn’t know about it until now…
You have to put /s
in the end, because people in this day and age can no longer recognize sarcasm, probably because we all spend way too much time on the Internet.
“Sure, we’ll pay you 2% of the profits”
And I’ve heard it took years until someone managed to do it

- Lua if you want really see functional programming as a philosophy
I’m pretty sure that Lua doesn’t follow functional programming as a philosophy…
If you want something that feels more quirky, go with Lisp.
Thank you for bringing up nushell, had never heard of it
This. If you want to start coding on your own computer, the Python IDLE is great for beginners (it’s probably inside a package named idle
). Just click on ‘File > New’ to start writing a new program and press the F5 key to run it!
End-to-end encryption is the best possible safeguard against Meta snooping on your data.
This has always been my biggest pet peeve with WhatsApp. Yes, they might encrypt it all and the encryption might be practically unbreakable, but what worries me is what Meta might do with the private encryption keys. Lem me elaborate further.
I’ll start by trying to explain how key-based encryption, the type of encryption WhatsApp uses, work at their core, for those who don’t know (THIS IS GOING TO BE AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION). Imagine you want a friend to send you a message with super sensitive contents. Here’s what you do to guarantee that no one else can read it but you:
This means that, if someone else manages to get the encrypted message, they will need the private key to read what it says, but they don’t have it, only you have it. The only thing they can do keep guessing what that key is until they find what it was and read the message, but that can take up to millions of years, even using supercomputers.
As you can see, this works really well for sending messages without anyone but the sender and the reciever knowing what is being said, and that’s why it’s so used in encrypted message apps…
…but what if Meta has access to the private keys? I mean, what if, after WhatsApp creating the public and private keys for messaging, the private key is retrieved and stored in Meta’s servers, making them able to read all the messages you receive?
Can someone with more experience in the subject say if my concerns are valid?
Great! How much time will it last?
