This is the plot of The Prestige, and to some extent of the survival horror game Soma.

Never knew I needed Kaylee in a Star Trek mini dress, but here we are.

I think you're missing the point here. The solution to the "documentation on a chatroom" problem is not putting documentation on another chatroom.

Actually even further than that, even back in the 80s it was apparently used in certain subcultures to distinguish (drug) "addicts" from "normal people".

The original meaning of the word as I first heard it back in the late 1990s was to refer to the vast majority of "normal" people who don't have an interest in or deep understanding of technology and internet culture.

I don't think it was originally meant as an insult, but more as an acknowledgement and reminder to ourselves that the things we were into and cared about were a niche thing and not exactly the norm.

Nowadays, I've heard it applied to just about any niche interest or hobby, for example: people who are not into mechanical keyboards would also be "normies", and worse it's being thrown around as a direct insult to people, in the same vein as calling someone "basic".

The real power of tmux, though, is that it manages the session you created.
So, one use case would be saving your current terminal setup. Instead of exiting the terminal and navigating to the project and setting up the environment again next time, you can simply detach and re-attach.

This is correct, most of those scripts can only delete 1000 comments from new/top/controversial.

The method to delete all your comments is as follows:

  1. Do a GDPR request for a copy of your data using: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request. Wait until you get the zip file, then extract it somewhere.

  2. Download the free utility shreddit from https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit and point it to the directory where you extracted your GDPR data using the --gdpr-export-dir flag.

It can be done with shreddit: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

It has a built-in option to point it to your extracted GDPR data, and will edit and/or delete all the comments that are listed in there.

Just configure it according to the instructions, and then let it run unattended for a while. It took about 15 hours to delete the 13000 comments on my 12 year old account.

That goes for any unexploded ordnance, we are still cleaning up regular unexploded shells from World War 1 more than 100 years after the fact and every now and then it still claims a victim.

It sucks, but you have to offset that against the benefit. The longer the Russians occupy parts of Ukraine, the more atrocities they are able to commit against civilians (cf. Bucha, Irpin, Izium, Kherson,...). Also when people talk about the civilian casualties, they always forget that the bulk of the Ukrainian soldiers were civilians just over a year ago, and they would love nothing more than to return to a peaceful civilian life. Their lives are valuable as well and should be protected too.

If cluster munitions helps them to get rid of the Russians faster and with a lot less casualties, it is a trade off we should make.

In a technical sense, they're not similar at all.

ATACMS is a ground launched ballistic missile, so it follows a straight-forward parabolic trajectory: it climbs very high, goes very fast and then comes down on top of programmed GPS coordinates. Storm Shadow is a stealthy air launched cruise missile, it flies low at subsonic speeds and can manoeuver following a pre-progammed path (for example, to go around known air defense locations) and had advanced optics to locate the target.

Technologically Storm Shadow is way more advanced and it has a higher payload too. It also costs 4 times as much per missile, there are less of them and they can't carry a cluster bomb warhead because in Europe we decided not to make those weapons anymore.

Both would be very useful for Ukraine.

Thanks for that. It seems to be working for me. I just set it to work on my 12 year old, 13000 comment history.
