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

[-] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

is that like an AUR package or something?

>return to:monke
ERROR: Restore point "monke" not found. Latest restore point is "shrew", would you like to return to it instead?

I need to make more frequent backups...

cries in left_pad

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

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Brb changing a million libraries on npm to use padStart instead of left-pad and removing the dependency
