Yeah. Perrin broods enough he should really have some trauma to back it up. XD

Anyways… … the series lags a little bit in the middle, as Jordan’s health declines, and before Sanderson finished up. But overall, it’s a really solid series, and worth the read.

Yeah. As a WoT fan, it was just painful to watch. so many things that made the books good were destroyed in the first season.

…anf, small pet peeve. …the show characters in the past called him the dragon reborn. …but, that was the past, and there was no reborn yet.

my partner and I took to calling him the dragon reborn reborn in the few times we watched the show together. XD

good point.

it’s not the dislike, it’s that you frame it as though your distaste were the truth, as opposed to framing it as an opinion.

Man, glad you’re reading the series. the amazon series was… …pretty bad, in ways only book readers would know. …but if it inspired you to read the books, good enough.

…and, New Spring after book 5.

Although, a windows update may nuke this, and require reinstalling bootloader/keys.

Congrats, you know how to dislike something and blame others for your dislike! You’re on your way to True Narcissism! 💫

mrrowf! <more failed attempts at barking>

this exactly.

meow meow?

fair enough. My personal opinion might be that it’s evil, but perhaps that’s because I expected some kind of order.

The best advice was gratuitous.

good looking out.

you know, you could also either include a lossy copy next to the lossless ones, then rsync only lossy extensions, or, if that pollutes your collection, have a separate but identically-structured directory tree, where all your lossless files have lossy copies. Then, you can rsync both folders (send-only) to your single remote (lossy extensions only).

but, yeah, Git really isn’t the tool for this, agreed.

Make a script. I’d use xonsh or python with sh.py.

• create a dict for remote to local filename map
• walk your local collection
  • for each file, determine what the correct remote name (including a valid extension) would be, and add the pair to the dict, with remote filenames as keys, local filenames as values
• make a set like local_munged_names from that dict’s keys
• walk your remote tree, and store the filenames in a set like remote_names
• names_to_upload = local_munged_names - remote_names
• for each name in names to upload, look up the local filename from the remote to local filename map. Then, encode it if it needs encoding, and upload.

Yes, because

In the first kind of language, the thought process is basically: I have the flow of execution, starting at the top of the file. If I want to make a library, I should build the things I want to build, then get out of the way.

Note the “I have the flow of execution”, and the “if I want to build a library”.

If you just want to build an executable, do as you wish, you already have the flow of execution.

If you want to build a library, make the relevant classes and functions and get out of the way (i.e., no IO, no long-running tasks).

If you want to combine them, use the main name check - or, make a package and do entry points that way. Either way works, because both can fulfill the goal of staying out of the way of those importing this as a library.

indeed.

It simply swaps some things around to make things more confusing, then goes into an infinite loop (whether or not you import or execute it standalone). it’s no different than just including in the global scope:

while True:
    pass

I was kinda lazy with the fuckery, tbh. I could have gotten much more confusing, but don’t have too much time today. :-)

came here to see if Fedora had a --download-only equivalent.
