Button that does something? That’s too advanced for me, I’ll use a library

    Help, Debian has libbutton only in 1.4.3 and libdosomething is not in my repo. I compiled libdosomething from source, but now it needs libbutton >= 2.4.1 and compiling that version of libbutton fails, as my GCC and make are too old and incompatible!

    I already tried it on my other PC, but that isn't based on glibc, which makes all these dependencies even worse...

    Have you tried unplugging your computer, going out into the woods, and returning to monke?

    cries in left_pad

    It's kind of astonishing how many people leaned on that library just to add fucking spaces to strings

    It should be in the standard library anyway. Why the hell is it not?!

    I mean yeah, I can write my own function to do the same thing and probably I've done it at some point in some coding exercise as a beginner, but this seems like such a common thing to use, it should be in the standard library of any sane language.

    It is, as padStart, which makes the number of packages using leftpad even more incomprehensible
