no context programming
@noiob gosh, i know that php module management has probably improved since i last looked at it, but this still feels cursed
@shaderphantom gosh, i feel this
i hope you can take all the time you need to feel less burnt out--and without feeling too bad about resting
good luck..! ^^
Veiled misogyny in speedrunning
@trysdyn i know someone who was pretty uncomfortable with the speedrunning community as a whole because of how male-centric it is, but also really loves that this event is happening
it sounds like speedrunning might even be something she might want to try now!
...
i know that wasn't about misogynistic dudebros, but i just wanted to throw that out there because it's kind of heartwarming, and i think we need a little more of that when people act like this :s
@EeveeEuphoria all chus are important~
but pichu are legit the pokemon that originally got me over my awkward tween-self to finally admit that i might actually like cute things
gosh, that was a turning point
i think it would be really cool to finally be able to articulate myself outside of small chats
hee, it's such a tease. i'll get there though..!
oh yeah! i guess i should mention this is for wsl_proxy!
it's a thing i'm making that lets you use wsl command line tools as if they were windows programs
always happy to come across another situation that's "not such a big deal because it's simply a contrived problem which you'll likely never encounter."
it's unfortunate that i'm relying on base64 existing in any wsl that this is used in, but i guess i'm already relying on bash as it is anyway, soooo....
i did figure out a way to do it though! and that way is very bad, hee
i base64 the whole command line, and run it in a subshell, because that doesn't require any double-quotes or escaping magic cmd-side
i even wrote a C# program to use its built-in argument parsing, so *it* could figure out passing that as a single argument to wsl bash
it couldn't do it either
TIL escaping things for cmd.exe is sometimes impossible
like, if you have a file:
C:\folder with spaces (And parens)\fancy!!! chars'`@;,[]{}().txt
the only way to get that escaped as a subshell in bash is like:
cat "$(wslpath $'C:\\folder with spaces (And parens)\\fancy!!! chars\'`@;,[]{}().txt')"
and i'm trying to write something that will throw this into bash.exe -ic, but how the heck do you escape it?
backslashes won't do it, carets don't do it
looking it up, turns out you can't??
smash bros
@codl you can never have too many playable pokemon
this is true outside of smash too
